This is a really cool idea for a game. But I've already read the erotica before. What's new is rendering it visually. Hoping for art down the line.

beautiful images with sooOOoooo many "later in the future" tags just to get an attention? while text-based tag IS the real active tag? :HideThePain:
The very first CRPGs were all texted based games.

"The earliest role-playing video games were created in the mid-to-late 1970s, as offshoots of early university mainframe text-based RPGs that were played on PDP-10, PLATO and Unix-based systems. These included M199h, created in 1974, Dungeon, written in 1975 or 1976, Pedit5, created in 1975, and DnD, also from 1975. These early games were inspired by pen-and-paper role-playing games, particularly Dungeons & Dragons, which was first published in 1974, and J.R.R. Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings trilogy." -Wikipedia.

Personally, my adult and porn themed games require visuals (and preferably audio too), but texted based games are certainly games.
your argument not entirely valid since you are comparing different time and platform to made the game. i think those who think this "game" isnt a game bc the dev made it with renpy which had the ability to attach images/vids easily.

xxerikxx Have you considered using Twine to make your games? It seems to be a lot more in line with how you've been making them script first and art (maybe, hopefully) later.

Personally, it kind of make more sense to scroll through text and click through choices rather than having to click through every line of text. Also, people kind of expect Ren'Py games to be visual and, although it's not necessarily so with Twine, the option to add renders is still there.

I vaguely remember that, at one point, 2nd Chance was supposed to eventually have actual scene renders in it. Since they stayed text-based anyway, Twine seems like a fitting option as it's kind of understood if there'd be minimal visual aids and it's a lot more expected to just have basic descriptions in place of an image.

Since you're proven to be able to write a complete story with an actual ending, your stuff would already have a leg up on a lot of the others out there as too many of even the most basic of CYOA stories either get abandoned or have been in progress for too long.

EDIT: I kinda find it funny that some Twine games tend to focus development on visual flair with minimal progress to the writing, yet here you are on Ren'Py developing on pretty much ALL the writing with minimal visual flair.
second to this. if dev wanna made a text-based game while attaching some images. twine is much easier. esp when youre able to made options branching out visually. it is possible to create a text-based game with (e.g.) renpy, unity or unreal engine, but those game engines wasnt meant made for that

The goal is not to make a text-based game. The goal is to make the script to a game that with the help from an artist can be turned into a game with a good story and beautiful pictures.

The story is good for now. I like the main characters, which is quite uncommon. I usually don't like the MC... it's rare to have someone who is NOT a spoiled and pathetic little brat as MC. So much so that it makes me wonder about how the new generations are, considering that they are the main target of those works... ;)

The other characters feel more realistic than the usual too.

I like Violet, Angelina and Jenny for now. Violet's behaviours are perfect for the moment, she seems quite compatible with my tastes too. :p
I think in the story she could be a realistic submissive wife (and maybe a masochist). There is not enough yet to say that for sure but it feels that way even if we still don't know enough of them and their past.

What I mean is that she seems ok with lots of things, but within some kinds of rules, borders, and she looks like she needs honesty and to keep her trust (these kinds of relationships beyond the appearances are based first of all on a deep trust, much more than normal relationships).

Usually these games on f 95 have a little of BDSM only in "corruption routes", but BDSM both as lifestyles or just games have nothing to do with corruption, more like the opposite, if not considering abusive assholes who are just using it as a cover.

I think many in that secret society are of this last kind probably, I would never trust them. I hope the MC will not be like that or that there will be several different routes available. I dislike sly and manipulative people.


Jenny might easily reveal herself soon or later as a kind of person I don't like but it doesn't matter, the relationship can stay strictly "professional" if so or it can be broken. After all they are still nothing for eachother for now, they are together for a random chance. In time that is going to change.
If she can be MC's slave or pet or maid or whatever, without considering THS above him and their relationship, then I will keep liking her too. I can see it going both ways anyway.


In comparison in "2nd Chance" between both seasons if I remember well I only liked Sarah, Audrey and Emily enough to really consider as potential partners I guess (if not considering blood links etc, only by how they are). I wouldn't touch Zoey with a stick much less with my cock, and I would not consider Harper and Cassandra for a serious relationship, or I would break it up soon anyway after knowing them more.

In this game of course I don't trust THS at all and I will play this way at least the first few times, as I said before I like the characters for now. In his place as in mine I would kill anyone touching my family.
Please keep at least a road or more open for keeping your family (including the slave if loyal) safe. Behind huge walls and a minefield if possible. ;)


There are too few games about these themes here, and most of them in my opinion are bad and unrealistic.

Of course the themes and kinks here for now seem to be much closer to what I like compared to other games.
The story is better too. Which also seems to be easier to read and less in need for animations and stuff compared to "2nd chance".

About this game I wouldn't mind to have the full story just in text form, I will enjoy it anyway or maybe even more. My imagination is better than what artists can do anyway. :)


p.s.: mattress not Madras I think is what you mean xD I think it's in 3 or 4 dialogues in the basement.

There are also the ... I don't know the English for it sorry but "books with multiple choices on how to go on in the story".
ex: if you do X go to page 134-C if you do Y go to 377-A

I loved pen and paper RPGs. Much better than any CRPGs if the master/narrator was good.

There were MUD (multi user dungeon, also other systems with other names which I forgot) on computers too, text based or sometimes with very simple (ASCII for instance) graphics.

Thanks! It nice to see that someone appreciate the stories and gives feedback on other things than the lack of pictures. It is so much easier to find motivation to finish the story then.


Yes, I want the MC to be someone that the player enjoys playing. I also hate those games where the MC is a sly and manipulative asshole. I consider my MC to be a good person, but if you prefer that he spits in Jenny's face then I allow you to do that too.

Something I learned from writing The 2nd Chance is that people don't like to be forced into sexual scenes. This time I will give the player the opportunity to avoid most sexual encounters. The exception will be MC/Angelina because that is too big part of this story, and also because this is the backstory to The 2nd Chance (Where it will be revealed that Angelina has a sexual relationship with her stepdad). But if you want to train Jenny without having sex with her then that is possible. I will also try to create one sexual story and one none-sexual story with the other female characters that I will introduce later in this story.

PS. I know that my English is far from perfect so if someone would like to follow the story and in return help me with proofreading then just send me a message.

I never know if i should call a guy who is a step-father a cuck or not. lol plus step is not incest that is just cheap.
He's a cuck. Only exception would be if he brought over kids from his own last marriage, too. But if a man spends his own resources to take care of another man's genes with no reward, he is lower than dirt. And no, pussy is not a reward

Will season 2 and this game ever get pictures or will they remain text based.
I would love it if an artist makes pictures for all the games. I think this game will be easier for an artist to work on because it's less locations than in The 2nd Chance. The actions also repeats more often; Wake up - Breakfast with family - Drive Angelina to school - Go to the film set - Dinner with family - Afternoon activity - Sex? - New day.
