Ren'Py The Mind Society [v0.5] [Adventures in ENF]

[Heavy Sleeper]

1. Short update, i would expect more after 3 months. At this pace this game will not be finished in our lifetime(unless it ends up very short with little content). Fight scene was unnecessarily long(+animated) - im guessing it took some time that could have been used for something better... like porn.
2. Pure visual novel this time, no gameplay, no decisions.
3. Brigitte is annoying, needs to be put in her place ASAP
4. Femdom sucks! It sucks twice as much in a game focused around maledom(through mind control). I really hope in the next update MC turns the tables on this bitch.
5. Wimpy protagonist... ugh I get that it allows for "character development" etc. but he could have been more confident and determined.

I don't get the wimpy mc complaints too much, that women pulled a gun on him the last time he tried to argue with her(the rest I get). In my game he got a bitchy women to do a photo shot and got her to give him her boob shot, I know it's not a lot but the guy got his powers yesterday.

This update was short which is probably why we didn't see him use his powers, but give him some breaks. You don't go controlling the town on your second day knowing you can control people.

As much as animations adds to the overall "life" of the game, I really don't think it's worth the time lost on actual story/porn. What also makes me sad is that the sex animations ends automatically rather then looping, hopefully it's only for the memory bits and not a future norm for the game.

Hello, do you all recommend playing this now or waiting a couple of updates for more content? It looks very good, but based upon some of the comments, maybe it needs some time to develop before giving it a try?

you should wait, there are some hot stuff at the moment but it's still very short.

 

[hix88]

I really didn't like the last update.

 

[Pizzapockets]

At Least if it's going to be a fucking sandbox game could you as quick navigation? sandbox games try pad out content by making you click around to find scenes it's even worse without quick navigation. nobody likes wasting there time click the airs to navigate around.

So far he has no goals or plans of his own - he just does whatever someone tells him to do(mostly Briggite). He doesnt need to be a cocky, arrogant asshole but it would be great if for example he started his own investigation into this secret organization.

Agreed. Time spent on fluff like animated combat isnt worth it when it comes at a cost of less porn/story progression.
Sex scenes ending on their own are unfortunately the norm, its like that with every one of the so far(Lara, Cleopatra, blonde chick masturbation). I also wish we had animation loops instead.

So the first thing you do when you discover a mind controlling society that watches your every move is to try and do research on them, before knowing how your own powers work?

 

[thevoid089]

So many people whining about wimpy MC and hating on femdom, and then about short content etc etc..... Can't even enjoy the story build up, the animation and art quality or appreciate Dev making it
Could have politely giving feedback about sandbox system, bugs in game, add Gallery, more direct gameplay than visual story, faster updates.... and let him at least build up the story through each updates too rather than being harsh about it

Yes, im surprised you wouldnt. I would very much like to know who are these shady guys, what are their goals, resources etc. instead of blindly following orders from one of their goons. Of course MC can pretend to obey them for now.

 

[Valeck]

Looks the femdom is gonna be unavoidable(I hope not).
If this is how things are going to be I think the next update will be my last because being dominated by someone is not something I want to experience, even less by someone else slave.

And how would you go about it? would you go to the library and ask for the secret mind controlling society files, not knowing if the librarian is mind controlled or if any of their members is sitting right next to you? Brigitte obviously kills people for her master, and if you act like you start making trouble I don't see why she or her master would just let you go. Look at the memories and what happened to people who disobeyed the master.

The only way for him to get info is by talking to Brigitte, the mc tired to coast through life by avoiding problems now he has a chance to get back at them so why fuck it up by dying like a fool with nobody to remember you?

Maybe Dev will including that choice for future, for now I think MC would and had to obey them because in the meeting they did warn him about the consequence and in the flashback there are some group go after those with the similar power too so better stick to society for now and turn on them later

Yup! The society was like mafia, you are just some new guy joining their group and didn't gain any trust from them and yet already thinking about betray and dethrone the one in charge. Not gonna happen, and Brigitte was the example to not fully trusting MC: She served her master for long time, having skill of an assassin and doesn't mind to fucking murder or put you back to where you belong. You had to obey and do whatever the boss said, and training your power until you finally become strong and gain the trust from them before even planning on anything else

 

[Osamabeenfappin]

Not gonna lie. I still think this game has huge potential. But that last update was not my cup of tea.

 

[lionmc]

Thanks to everyone for your feedback.

I am gonna try to address some of the issues that were brought up.

First of all it seems quite a few people are frustrated by the lack of payoff. Why the MC don't get to have his way with all these hot women already? I get your point.
I think that's mostly born from the big gap between updates and the fact that they are relatively short; every story have a set up and a payoff; typically the payoff is only a few pages away in a comic or a book or half an hour or so in a movie. Things get more tricky when dealing with a game where each installment is months apart from the previous one. Those lucky people in the future that will get to play the complete game in a couple of hours won't have to deal with any of that but for now all we can do is try to publish our updates faster and faster; which takes hardware and people; which as you probably guessed takes cold hard cash (all our money is warm and soft... also we don't have a lot of it)
This said the next two installments are focused on progressing the MC story and getting some of that sweet sweet payoff.

That brings me around to the Brigitte hate; love her or hate her in this arc she mostly fit the shoes of the villain. If you feel frustrated about how she keep getting the upper hand on the MC and can't wait for the moment he can finally turn the tables on her or at least punch her in her smug face... well... good! That's exactly what you're supposed to feel. After all you waited three movies to see Luke Skywalker whoop Darth Vader's ass and another three to see somebody finally show the finger to Sauron (though it was the wrong finger and it got chewed off immediately after...) see what I mean... that's good catharsis right there!

There is some shade of femdom in this update and the next; if it's not your cup of tea just bear with us. We promise is a one off

For the volume the advice is always the same, if you have very good speakers or an headset for the love of God set you main volume to 50% or so. To make sure it can be heard loud and clear on every device we test it on the crappy speakers of my old laptop. On anything better every sound is at risk of shattering your hear-drums

Finally the ever present complain from people who see their family jewels turn to a worrisome shade of blue (it's literally in every thread on this forum... including the technical help page 'though in that case is probably justified). The core of this update is basically a orgy with three hot women, if that doesn't do it I don't know what will... but we'll keep trying.

Once again thanks to everyone for their comments; we always read each and every one and rely on your feedback to create a game that pleases as many as possible.

How heavy is the femdom. I can deal with some light femdom for plot purposes,but if its heavy,I guess I'll just wait a couple of updates,no biggie.

Also you may or may not consider adding the femdom tag.

 

[Aweful]

Was there a writer change or something? I don't have the greatest of memories but I do feel like the dialogue has taken a hit since this titles release.

For example: "I am been" should just simply be "I've been" or "I have been" depending on context. Just a pet peeve of mine. My apologies if this seems insensitive to those whose first language isn't English.

Very nice explanation from the Dev himself, the story need to be build up and need some villains for MC to deal with. Can't just suddenly go full super Saiyan and one shot everything and fucking all the women right away, that would be boring and anti climatic

 

[lionmc]

lionmc Will we have Gallery in the next couple updates? The sex scenes in those flashback was so hot that it was a shame we are not to be able to see it again without saving a separate saves to rewatch them

The "flashback stones" are stored by the MC in the drawer next to his bed and can be replayed when he is there. Eventually the pictures of the girls the MC takes will end up framed in his room and serve the same purpose to replay the girls scenes. It's all a few installment away once the MC can finally travel back and forth from the house at his leisure.

Oh! Very nice, hope next update we would go back to the sandbox so that I can rewatch those scenes again. And if we can use the stone as quick navigation then no one will complain about wasting time clicking every doors and arrow anymore
