VN - Ren'Py - Abandoned - The Simpsons Simpvill [v1.03] [Squizzy]

I think it's super wack this was abandoned it was a pretty decent start, I believe if more was done the following would happen, I'm just saying. I digress, as much as you needed to hear it but didn't, it was solid work, and appreciated you really did do a good job, and it's a shame this is wasted.

(reviewed version 1.01)

The game does its best to give you what it says on the tin: a light, shallow, free-roam game where you get to bang different Simpsons characters, aged-up where necessary to avoid getting a knock on the door from MrHansen. The artwork is basic, but this is The Simpsons, there's only so much the artist has to work with here.

This would put Simpville on its way to being a solid three-star game, playable but nothing particularly special, except for just how badly it is coded. Characters are in two places at once. Events happen for no understandable reason, in seemingly random orders. A character that just walked into your room and jumped your dick in one scene is pretending they barely know you in the next.

I've given two stars because there's a three star game hiding in here somewhere, it just needs a lot of work to get there.

I feel like there's something here, it's just that there were many things holding me back from enjoying the game. As it is now, it's fairly inoffensive in most of it's design from talking and navigating, which seem to be the main two mechanics that the player can do.

I would say the biggest setback from me getting anything out of it is the art. Which I'm not surprised, I saw the banner and preview images I knew what I was getting into. I mainly went into this wanting to see if there was anything that would manage to get me hooked, but the story is one that would be manageable if there was expert-level art assets.

I'd say this is slightly below average in it's current state (v1.0). If there's an update where he commissions art or gets an artist, then I'd look into again.

Harkens feelings I had for some retro adult games, simplistic art style actually works here because of the material it is parodying.

The plot is just silly, but so is 90% of the Simpsons.

Hair down Marge is choice.

Got some voyeuristic opportunities in there, nighttime visits, and a growing cast of hotties to bang. The Simpsons has a gigantic cast to pick from though, so I'd recommend not trying to inject any original female characters our Non-Simp pumps with his dick.

Not really much content, couple scenes. Somewhat "robotic" dialog flow. Some animated content but in some of it the art is off so the girls look different. Also you will get stuck for ~5min every now and then because the game wants to to do unrelated events in a certain order, so you start tracking well down one character and then you're halted because game wants you to go somewhere else for a bit.

It's not horrible, it is custom art, there are animations, but... there's just not a whole lot of content, I don't feel engaged because the writing and flow is poor (mid way through I'm just spam clicking to the end). It's okay today at v0.7. It could be better, but somehow I don't think much will change beyond...eh, who knows. It's v0.7 so I thought it was quite far a long. Maybe it is, but I feel like a lot of content is missing (4 buildings you can visit but can't do shit in, for example). Maybe version numbering could use some improvement as well?

I have been wanting a waiting for a good Simpsons game for a while and this just might be it. I'm very impressed by the game thus far but I would like to see some things added or changed.

The art style is decent but some images could use improvements like the image of Maude through the binoculars is atrocious. I feel that that is a common criticism of the game though and is one that is likely to improve considering how new the game and developer is.

The other problem I found with the game is that it is very linear with no real action that the player can take to impact the game and no gauge for how much of the game they have accomplished. It has some dialogue options but I would love to see some more. As for progression of the game I think a "corruption" or a "love" meter that the player fills up will give them a sense of accomplishment and a gauge for how far they are into the game.

Some opportunities that the game presents and why I think this game has real potential lies with the sandbox open world map that Squizzy has created. With some proper additions, the game can feel much more interactable with things like repeatable events like the Edna hand job that the player can do by talking to her. The art can be the same as the original scene but some new dialogue can do wonders for the players freedom in the world. Another thing that I would love to see is a wardrobe function where the player chooses the outfits for the characters with more slutty versions being available later in the game. Some of the groundwork is there already with some characters having different outfits already and adding in a wardrobe mechanic would enhance the game tremendously.

Overall the game shows great potential and with some love and a few changes here and there it can be a lot of peoples new favorite game.

Like everyone has said good potential. but, art style needs improvments as otherwise will end up like the sexpsons which had similar style. Due to the hand drawn nature . hopefully this game improves . As what is available is good for a new and fresh dev.

I don't want to be too negative, as I am hoping we get a good Simpsons game, but this needs some work. It has potential, but I think practice and more refined art would help. I don't understand why you don't simply take frames from the simpsons and use them as backgrounds. Surely just taking a still frame of the show would make for an easy way of keeping the visual style.

Art could do with improvements but overall the story has potential, and I believe that the next updates will meet expectations and that this will become a great simpsons porn parody game. Cant wait for the final outcome! - after more progress on the game, I think the developer has really improved on the art, and is beginning to create a great story that MAKES SENSE ( unlike many failed parodies). Keep up the good work Squizzy, it's very enjoyable so far!
