VN - Ren'Py - The Last Challenge [v0.2.0] [LustyDonkey]

version 0.1.3

I found this game to have more of a refreshing start.

I am not a fan of when creators always back track and try to add more because it helps plot they plan to write.

So its nice that upfront you have childhood friends and they give you upfront good details about the M.C.'s past as well as how friendships were formed.

With that being said, its also good to see at the start have multiple choices, that will give you information if you pick a set choice.
Like someone getting a blowjob and how that option plays out.
Which I love.

There is a lot of care given to NPC's, which is great to see. I am so happy seeing how there have been people with relationships and how they have changed.
Which brings me to another point of something I like.

I hate when games, either dont update often or I know too many characters that look a like, that when I play a game.... I forget things about them.
So the Character info second, works wonders for me.

I am not saying that, its without out faults.
However it being in the first release, I'm not going to tear into it horribly.

As much as the bus ride to me was almost perfect. I felt a few of the things fell flat.
This is likely due to wanting to push so much information out on all characters.

With that being said, the bus ride showed a good amount of knowing bullying, antagonizing and restraint with also showing personality and friendships.

I like when Tiny said dont do that, I don't want you to get sued or go to jail (I honestly forget word for word).
They showed a good line of being bullied and going over board, when writing this.

With that being said, going back to near the start of the game.
I did like when you could choke as an option, which is a nice way to set you down a violent path and maybe some what unstable (POSSIBLY!?) road.

Would be nice to see options where people think you are too crazy to even be around.

I hope the bus driver is trolling the kids with the A.C. Because to me that would be funny, specially if they showed his internal dialog saying "fuck'em" or something.

Its as close as perfect as you can get for a first release.
I'm not taking points away from the bathroom scene and lack of options being finished

5 stars
Perfect work so far.
Impatiently waiting for the next update.

This is fucking good it has a good story n awesome sex scene i would want more soo, there are Multiple choice n there all fucking good people should play this if they have a chance even if its a demo it was fucking good please support this cause i want more im already supporting 10/10 LET THEM COOK

I liked how it lets us approach situation(s)(hopefully) however we like and also can move on with the story while doing that. Characters don't make you feel like they're a blank piece of paper. Renders are good.

One of the few projects that i'd love to be there when it is completed.

An excellent start to a new AVGN.

One thing i adore about this game is the attention to detail about the history of the characters. Every character has a past that is really explored to great detail. This history is used to create really great moments with funny dialogue and heated drama which make the game very enjoyable to play even though your basically just on a bus for most of it.

This game has some of the funniest dialogue ever in the history of AVGNS. The main character and his best friend are so fucking funny. But its not for everyone, as it really absurd and unrealistic at times.

The guy you play is a actual person you play rather than a blank slate like so many other games put you in. I really like that spin on things cause it makes the main character a mystery.

I really like most of the renders. There are alot of them. Simular to OceanLab games theres a girl for everyone here.

This game has tons and tons of potential. Give it a try.

This one got the potential to become one of the best VNs here. Man I never had this much laugh from playing a game. For a demo this one lot of content it's for like a first release. So don't avoid this one thinking this one's just a demo. Check the changelog there 2000+ renders here

Ngl from reading the overview i thought the game is gonna be a crappy joke. For the first few minutes renders are average. It's there for introduction. When you see the MC after time skip you still feel game's gonna be average cause MC model is usual models. My thoughts about the game completely change with the appearance of cleaning lady. The sex scene was hot so the cigarette after sex. There is multiple path with her you can seduce her, black mail or try your luck by making a move. Thought the game was gonna be kinky. Then comes all the university boys and girls and and your friend and an asshole. Game peaked there. There is lot of girls with unique personalities and there are different branching paths. Surely requires lot of saves. you can fuck around / make secret girl friends / completely loyal/ or a tyrant. Mc indeed a Chad he cares about his loved ones. Loved the story and writing

Absolutely loved his friends Donnie and Tiny Tiny thes guys are fucking hilarious. Dev did a good job in that bus bonding scene and with their childhood flashback scenes. There is girl in the game who is a slut who loves dicks. Have seen many other girls like her in other games they are there for fucking, that's their whole purpose. But here's different even she got a nice personality.

I worry about the games completion because this many branching paths. Fund issue is indeed an issue. Hoping this one won't get abandoned. Keep up the good work dev eagerly looking forward to next updates

Edit v0.2.0

Never expected that cliff hanger but loved it. Samantha bathroom route not implemented yet. Dev maybe it would be nice if you reduce number of branching paths

High quality game! I love the job the Devs made on the animations as well as flexibilty to control the sex, change angle of cameras, going faster damn you should definitely try this game. I want more like this

The Last Challenge delivers a captivating visual novel experience with impressive render quality, a diverse cast, and an engaging storyline. A well-balanced blend that elevates the genre. I had lots of fun playing it.

The Last Challenge Review

The usual linear click and progress gameplay. Nothing innovative here nor is there really a need to be all the time but for a genre that's already hyper saturated this doesn't meet the mark.
Alot of dialogue is just pointless fluff due to the fact that there is quite a number of characters.
By the end of the Demo you will forget half of them. But this is a review so im going to be objective.

-Subpar Renders, looks like something from 2015

-same Daz models with no real variations

-kinetic novel style with some choices that will effect outcomes. Not bad, at least it isn't a sandbox.

-MC is apparently some gigachad who's the best fucker in their quarantined college.. who writes this again?

Overall this game has no identity. Its a clickfest and a worse version of where the heart is in terms of "hey here's alot of girls and you're it"

The demo has potential if it keeps up with same quality will be a must play in future. File size is big but there is not much stuff to do, its prologue. Models mh ok, I liked some but perhaps in future some got a upgrade. Has some funny scenes -> good. Donnie sex with bitch -> not good. Might be ignored but seems all girls have Boyfriends or experience. Story is not clear where it goes can be you voyeurism focused or steal them away in future but probably a mix of both, also not liking that.

Recommending would be to soon, not enough good stuff heck only one sex in here but also some disgusting stuff will be a thorn in eye. Wait for at least full episode release to judge yourself

Had to edit. Patreons will dictate the story seem. I saw in which direction it goes not in good on.

This game has so much potential to be one of the best games around.
Great plot with meaningful choices and all characters have their own story and personality. The humor in the dialogue works well enough.
The renders are also great. Each character well designed.
Overall I am looking forward to how this plays out.

Why people have given this 5 stars I'll never know, but I know that there are plenty people on this site who have the attention-span of 12-year-olds, so I'll provide a more comprehensive description instead of "OMG, best demo ever!" [Review for v0.1.0]

Honestly, it's not bad, but there are definitely flaws in the game. For every positive aspect, there seems to be a negative, so I'll try and group them together. TL;DR 3/10

+ the visuals are pretty darn good, there's nice diversity and they're all good, even the backgrounds are good.
-- the game size is fucking massive for the amount of content on display. 4.4GB is ridiculous when all that's happened is the MC has woken up, had sex, and gone onto a bus. Imagine how massive it would be just for the actual story to happen at this rate!? (Just saw 0.2.0 is 9.7GB, how unoptimised is this AVN)

+ the sexual content currently present is pretty good, the first and only MC sex scene (split into two, they're so close together I'm considering it one scene) is well-animated and the great models help. The intermittent nudity around the MC makes sense, which is difficult for other AVNs to understand
- - for some strange fucking reason, the dev added two different sex encounters (they aren't scenes, but they're still sexual encounters) for your fat annoying best friend. There's no option to turn it off, hell it just randomly happens totally unprovoked. You're big-upped as apparently this champion who might as well be casanova, but then you see more of your "ugly bastard" bff getting more women than you, not to mention he says we apparently had threesomes with plenty of women with him?? The fact we can CHOOSE whether to have sex or not with the one LI shown, but then are FORCED to see this fat dude in a fucking shitty luchadore costume get serviced by two women and are TOLD we've had dozens of threesomes with him is fucking insane. At the very least give us a choice at the beginning and alter some of the dialogue, or just ask us during each instance.

+ each character has a distinct personality, and many of the women are clearly shown to have some level of depth to them other than tits and ass. The dialogue is much better than many AVN's I've read on here.
- The pacing is fucking atrocious. the sex scene is essentially the FIRST thing that happens, we then see our fat best friend fuck 2 girls individually, then the other 95% of the demo you're just reading a dozen people having a conversation with each other. It's a nuts amount of dialogue for just a sex scene at the beginning.
- - - this is a big one in my book, the dev decided that two of the love interests (one not introduced to us yet) are DOMESTIC ABUSERS. Not only that, but we're meant to be a romantic exchange with one, and then suddenly discover she burnt his shit, verbally abused him and regularly assaulted him when they dated?? The audacity of the dev to just pull that shit up is insane to me, cause he CLEARLY believes that he can pull some form of redemption out of his arse, which is just so delusional to me.

+ the story has an interesting hook, although there's not enough to actually judge a good story off of. There's a natural flow to the story (before the second half which is ALL backstory) and the build-up works.
- the story so far almost feels like the dev has mixed multiple stories together to get everything they wanted. One is the "final challenge", and the other is about a fast and wide-spreading illness called the "crown virus" that seemingly had no effect on people, but also led to the one valley the MC was in conveniently get closed off as they were told to learn survival skills like farming, hunting, gathering and trade jobs. One of these would be a good premise on it's own, but I'm concerned that the two together will just distract from each other and make it far too bloated.

+ there's music and some A.I. audio, it's decently implemented.
- the dev insisting the audio is necessary for the experience seems odd, as I don't think I've played any game where it's been *required*

Ultimately, while there's a clear display of talent and hard work, the fact this is only a demo and these problems are immediately apparent to anyone paying any attention at all is concerning. Generally speaking, 90% of devs refuse to change what they've done until far later, and these glearing mistakes will likely only worsen the longer it goes.

One of the best games currently
The demo is so great, it probably took several months or half a year for this demo
There are many options for your direction, bad or good...try it and see.
It's worth downloading and testing right away.
Hope it doesn't end too soon with the Abandonde tag.
We are waiting for your new update

Awesome Alert!
Great story, humour and graphics!
The only question is about liberty of actions and "open-worldness" that remains. I would love to be even more in control of event.
But we have one of the greatest story writen game ever incoming!

10/10 so far Amazing Game, Amazing Story, Amazing Plot, Fantastic Characters, Fantastic Hub (seeing the characters profiles is a really good feature that most games with a lot of charaters should 100% have)
All the Characters seem realy interesting so far, many Waifus even the male side characters seem really good which most games just do a horrible job at.

Cant wait for more will follow this series very closely ,
Hope you can produce the story that you have in vision.

This Game is really really nice and has so much potential. Wonderful looking renders and nice alternative dialogs. I guess that's the most part I liked. The Dialogoptions reallly changes the story, gives more than 2 or 3 new dialoglines, there are a bunch of new scenes. I'm hyped to see more

First of all welcome dev the game has serious potential if the dev make it right so far amazing story is good with some lewd scenes and some imotional elements nice renders need to work on a little bit animation wise it needs to improve and fresh characters MC is a goat all love interest are also cool good luck dev

I've never given a game a five-star review on this site...until now. This one has it all: Hot women, slick interface, and absolutely hilarious humor! Cheers to the dev -- this one has all the makings of a classic!

(Also: I hope they never make it back to town! I love my classmates!)

This game has to be one of if not the game that I'm most excited moving forward. It's a game where I truly feel like my choices matter (eg. seeing the scene with the maid develop in so many different ways depending on your dialogue choice), but the biggest award I can give it is that it's the first porn game that made me actually interested in the story other than just jacking off, characters are funny and relatable, they speak like normal teenagers, and the dev doesn't shy away from showing us that other people have sex, I don't like NTR, unless I'm the one doing it, but in this game it makes sense that everyone boned at least once or things happened in 8 years because obviously they were locked up. Keep up the good work dev, I also usually only go with sandbox games but this one feels it has a lot of freedom just with how you can handle things in more way than one, so props on that.

(0.1.3)so far its great, they had a great stinger to get you hooked right at the beginning and the comedy bits are fucking hilarious and don't perfectly to fit the moment and whats being talked about, they're also able to keep it real with emotional talk and stuff, even covering some darker tones with some of your possible choices so far and forcing/manipulating women to be with you

I will give a solid 5 for a demo. Animation was well done with the maid. I like the idea that give you different option for the sex scene. Storyline is pretty good. I am just waiting to see how fast the developper plan to update. I checked subscribestar is still for approval. Pretty sure I will subscribe if the developper plan to be serious about this game.
