Ren'Py The Lewdest House [v0.2.17] [Cathornero Games]

[DMFnsfw]

It's really a gray zone which is written ambiguously so it's at the mods discretion. I've seen plenty of games get "This violates it but shut up" slapped in the op while others just get spirited away as staff don't want to deal with it. Really depends on how much noise it makes and if staff can claim plausible deniability as it exist but not here like fight club as we don't talk about it.

Something to keep in mind if you're playing limbo.

Yeah, something like this, end of the topic.

A bit of more data.
I made some experiments.
My wifi doesn't have internet directly. It opens a page were you need to put an user and password to activate internet.
When I am connected to the wifi, but the internet is not activated, the game lags to unplayable levels.
When I am connected to the wifi with internet activated, the game lags a little. Very little. Still playable.
When I am not connected to the wifi it doesnt lag at all.
I started a game connected and with internet. It lagged a bit. I loaded a game. It lagged a bit. I deactivated internet but stayed connected to the wifi. It lagged a lot. I disconnected from the wifi. It stopped laging completely.
I hope this helps. This game is great.

Ok, this is weird.
The news feed only reloads when its opened manually, or when going to the main menu if the news were open last time.
If you keep the news section closed, it will stay like that until you open it again (even after closing and reopening the game.)
I will make an extra layer of "protection" for these cases on the next update (Adding an option in the settings to disable the feature completely).

But well, we aren't even sure if that's the problem, in special when this lag appear is not the rule but the exception.
What's your device's OS? It is Mac or Linux by any chance?

yeah, I can't get it to launch

I wish I could help but I don't have a crystal ball to guess your device, OS, nothing.
Still, I will list some possible problems because I like to write:
- It's a 32-bits computer
- You are using Bluestacks or Joiplay or similar emulators. (Joiplay hates launching RenPy games with Live2D animations, and I don't test the game on emulators)
- You phone has a very old Android version
- Your phone's settings refuse to install/run apps that didn't came from the Playstore, check Google to know how to enable them in your device.
- You installed the game over a very old version of the game, in the same folder, remove it completely before installing again, or use a new folder.
- Your antivirus/Windows didn't liked something and decided to block/delete the .EXE or similar.
- You are trying to play on a very weird Linux the world has never heard of.

Sad. Would have liked it more if Rita would like it to be with Lincoln so much that she divorced Lynn Sr. Would have been better when she gets to love Lincoln romantically.

uniroinc "dad is NTR"

Would at least get some funny lines about Lincoln trying to support a dozen+ girls with just commissions maybe getting a job at a burger joint would help support everyone? I feel like i read a story about that recently

Its a Windows 11. New laptop. Love the game by the way.
I dont know if my issue is the same as anyone elses. But I have been able to replicate it with the data I gave. So, at least with me the problem is related with the Internet.
Again, REALLY like the game. Good job.

Sounds like most complaints in all the threads.

As we have the game designed, the only optional girl is going to be Lisa. Lily will be off limits.
All the other sisters have mandatory routes. We're a two man team and our goal is to give the best Loud House sister fucking with Ronnie Anne experience we can give. That means focusing on things this way.

Even when we move to the open world there will be "Chapters" with one sister at a time having their specific story you're going through. You'll just have an easier time doing things with the unlocked sisters on the side and do some fun story stuff with the others, all while being able to go after the side honeys if you want too.

On the topic of side honeys, especially the ones that are friends of the sisters, will it be possible to go after them without involving the sisters that they are friends with? For example, let's say I go through Luan's story as usual and then I get the chance to go after Maggie. Will I be able to keep it exclusively Maggiecoln or will Luan be forced into it as well?

Hope for a break Up between Lori and Bobby. With a reveal that Lori liked Lincoln much more romantically since the beginning but chosed Bobby in the past because she was afraid of Lincoln feeling disgusted by Incest. But since she got her secret wish and did it with Lincoln in Chapter 3, she breaks up with Bobby for good.

None of this will happen.
I'm the writer, you will get none of this.

Here here. As much as Rita and Lori are hot, imposing on their loves already would be disservice to them. There are such thing as swingers or friends with benefits...

 

[Goblyn99]

Just ran through it to chapter 3. Good job DMF... you and your team made me a believer!

I'm not crazy about the show, but this made me actually curious about it (gasp)... But something tells me the show lacks the character growth (like Clyde)'
I'm also not big on static image/panel sex scenes, but the writing is decent enough to get past it.

I think I agree with others in wanting more impactful choices... but I also know choice trees are a pain in the ass for devs.

Are you planning a spin off based on Ronnie's family after this?

 

[iju513]

Is there more to Chapter 3? It apparently ends after the little scene with Lori after eating.

 

[NicolasL4D]

So, this game might end up be disappointing to you if you wanted to run off with Leni and eschew every other sister! Sorry!

You tease.

Yeah, ha-ha-ha, a little more hand sanitizer and we wouldn't be in this mess.

Hey man. I'm sorta jumping into this without having read the prior pages, but I am assuming this is about the game lagging for a very small minority of people. I reported the exact same issue when the live2d stuff was introduced along with some other peeps, remember? We thought it might have been Live2D as the cause. The patch afterwards didn't really fix it for me.

So since then I've played null hypothesis which also just got Live2D and it just didn't lag at all. Like at all.

But here's the kicker. Due to F95 getting a lot of malwared games lately, I started sandboxing games...when I run lewdest house without allowing it an internet connection, it doesn't lag...for whatever reason. So the lag might not be caused by live2d at all. The same update that introduced Live2d also introduced your newspaper thingy. Might be the cause...but I doubt your code that queries for the internet would run in the background while playing the game normally after the main menu, which is where it continued to lag back then.

Of course, I'm just talking out of my ass here, but I hope any little bit of info helps. For what it's worth I run windows with a 3080 and 5600x. Hardware was never an issue.

The game already got "cancelled" (in the other meaning of the word) for things that weren't even in the game to begin with and we tried to avoid and leave for the end (Lisa and the Twins). So now, after bans, death threats and spam, we are going to add them earlier because who the fuck cares now lol. We already played lawfully and still got punished.
So, from a developer point of view, I will continue doing what works AND I feel ok doing.

Hm hm! After all you went through, fight back with all the creative you can and create what you want to create!
Looking forward to what you create and live2d animate with all the cute and funny girls (besides lily) too.

I just found out the artist is from my country. GOD why is my country so based.

This is a great game I love it!!!

Uhh, now i get nervous. I dont like the abowe part of you post.
I do not have lag on this game, but I DO NOT LIKE if the game try to get on internet when played

That's pretty standard these days. There's a common renpy mod that's added to a ton of renpy games that has a online component (it searches for updates every launch)

Speak your shit my boi indeed! Lori deserves the best and greatest writing of all!!!

 

[uztgft]

The way I see it to resolve the Lori and Bobby situation without going into NTR or soup opera teritory; the best answer would be either a open relationship on both sides or a polycyule

Yeah, Renpy internet queries are standard. I was implying that the implementation might have been bugged causing the lag.

F95 malware has nothing to do with game developers, malicious people leak patreon updates and put malware in them.

Yeah it would be better if things like that were opt-in instead of opt-out. Still not as bad as games that advertise a 'rich discord experience' by doxxing their players
