VN Ren'Py Abandoned The Intoxicating Flavor [v0.10.6] [PixelsLab]

[moudy]

I downloaded thinking this was a porn game.

After almost falling asleep holding down the skip button, I realized this is just a novel with a few choices here and there.

I guess this is not gonna be my kind of "game"...

looks so cool

Well, this is NOT a harem game. It's crystal clear to me that you can't have both sisters.

Are we sure about that?

Because this game has certainly been teasing such a possibility and I could see Alice not being all that against such a thing. She's a lot kinkier than she seems and Katie's been shown to not be all that shy when it comes to other girls, so if Alice were to try something, Katie might just allow it, especially considering how close the girls already are.

Secondly, I guess you forgot the very first scene. It won't end well.
The story doesn't talk about how they met, how they fucked and how they lived happily ever after all together. Something very bad happened before he went on the island, and something very bad's gonna happen in a week and it will hit hard.

The MC is certainly fucked up at the start of the game, but we don't know the fate of the other characters. I'd suspect it has something to do with Inanna, probably having to fight her or some other entities, but this could still end up as a story where the good guys (MC and the girls) triumph and he does indeed get to have an ending with one or perhaps even some of them after all the heavy stuff has been resolved.

i just have 1 suggestion...add a stop at the end,lika a choice to quit or a loop,something to stop the game from just going to the main menu...

Same shit. And many such games began to appear. The developer is great at the graphics, and you start thinking "oh yeah now I'm going to see a lot of hot content" But it turns out that the developer decided to practice directing the stories. All these stories are a "big facepalm" for someone who has read at least a couple of books in his life.

Oh, heaven forbid you might actually have to tax your brain by reading something called a "visual novel". The clue is kind of in the name, you know.

You might think it sounds clever to say you almost fell asleep holding the skip button, but it just makes you sound like a philistine since you obviously can't be bothered to at least try to appreciate the detailed and engrossing story, and the witty repartee between the characters.

Oh, heaven forbid... some of us actually want a small story to go with our porn but mainly... you guessed it... wathcing and playing a porn game.

If I want a detailed story, I will read a book instead.

Maybe you should stick to more simple stories..like on the Hub

Such a constructive feedback...
Guess I won't be able to sleep tonight knowing you didn't like this "game"

 

[Cynicaladm]

definitely an unusual game. Not sure the word game actually applies because so far I have seen very few choices having visible/noticeable consequences other than to make one skip a potential sex scene. Some of the choices may yet reveal to have consequences further down the story, but so far, precious little is visible.
so.. it's more a story than anything else. Would I have liked a few more sex scenes, or possibly some more variety in it? possibly, yes, but I am not complaining.. the graphics are excellent, the plot is intriguing and by and large intelligent. The pacing is occasionally a little slow for what tries to be a game. if it were a novel I would probably be more happy with the pacing.
The main gripe I have is with the language. It is very clear that English is not the primary language of the author/s and I wish they had involved a native speaker for some proofreading. On occasion it is really jarring and pulls me right out of the story because I have to re-read a sentence a couple of times to understand what they meant to say... and when it goes down the more descriptive and narrative text blocks, I can't tell for sure that I actually understood the nuances they are trying to convey.
That said, as an adult game, it's on the tamer end of the spectrum, but quality-wise, both graphics and story are top notch.
Does anyone know when the next chapter will hit the interwebs?

I believe the dev is going to be taking some time off from this to focus on a side project and to take a bit of a break as they've recently been very open about some personal and financial issues, namely that this VN has not done as well as they'd hoped. The side project they wish to work on is one which they believe will have more broad appeal and will hopefully help to gain them more financial support order to better allow them to continue making this one, otherwise they believe that they will not be able to sustain themselves and this great VN could meet an untimely end.

I'm not a native speaker but I didn't have a problem understanding the english text in this game. It's okay, I've seen way worse. Sure some dialogs may sound awkward to a native speaker but you get the meaning

Same for me
To be fair the bit with Inanna speaking with the Mc was really heavy on exposition.
Reading it felt like a chore and I guess engrish didn't help
That's my only complaint
Other than that this game imo is above average and the dev can always improve

 

[PixelsLab]

I really like TIF. The story is great the lewd stuff is hot. I hope you can get were you want to be. Best of luck to you.

Thank you very much for the kind words!

That was brilliant
I have to ask though, why don't you split the game in three parts, 5 Chapter's each for example and put them on Steam one part at a time upon completion? Just a thought but I am sure there are users that would buy it on Steam one part a a time. Definitely I am one. I pay for ready product, that's just how I am. I got burned in the past...
Nevertheless, no matter what I am going to wait for final chapter.... and full Steam release if it has to be this way

I was thinking about selling the game on Steam. But if you divide the game, then it must be divided in important moments.
The release on Steam, at least needs to be well prepared, especially clean the English text from mistakes.

Yeah, it would be amazing! On Steam the game would have a big boost

 

[PixelsLab]

PixelsLab I know you're kind of struggling at the moment, but I pray and hope you will be able to pull through because this game is a masterpiece and it would be terribly sad for it to not be completed.

Perhaps the update will come out even earlier than you think. It depends on you though.

All on me? Damn, that's a lot of pressure.

 

[Spfjolietjake]

I'll never get why when some people find something truly unique and powerful they want to automatically change it to be one of the thousands of formulaic other vns out there. This piece is fucking art. It stands alone in it's content.

Why would you want to destroy that by making it a copy of what already exists. I hope it's just trolls otherwise I'm totally at a loss with some of these posters.

Hello everyone!
About reviews on 0.6
First of all, I really want to thank you all for your support. So many positive reviews at a time I have never heard! It feels like a lot of people just realized that the game really has a plot, and that all these scenes and conversations are really leading to something. XD Seriously, thank you! Now I'm in a terrible state – I haven't slept for a week and my back hurts terribly, but I've been walking around with a smile on my face for a few days!

Special thanks to those who support me financially. I still decided to buy a more powerful video card when I save up for it. And thanks to this support, it no longer looks impossible! We need to try to keep the support level at the same level for a couple of months, and then we will definitely succeed!

Then why am I making a new game?
See what the problem is. Initially, I planned to make a new game to earn money for creating TIF. I didn't want to worry too much about the quality, just make quick big updates. But it looks like I can't do like that... I sit back and think about every frame, every word, every character now has its own storyline. I still render animations at night, and because of this, I don't get enough sleep all the time. I mean, I'm doing the same thing, just for a different game. And I had this question: "Why?» I can just continue making TIF, especially now I have such support! What do you think? Was I too hasty with the new game? Maybe we should continue TIF, and instead of a new game, start making more content for patrons? The new game isn't going anywhere, is it? Please write your opinion. This is VERY, VERY important to me! I'm afraid of making a mistake.

I will do animations for the new game for now. If we come to the conclusion that it is better to postpone the new game, I will start working on the update for TIF at the beginning of the month, while working on the editing of the first two chapters.

P.S. I added a few frames for the new game so that you can roughly understand what quality the game will be.
