Ren'Py The Spinney [v0.19] [Dannot Games]

[Dannot Games]

Those scenes are real-porn, of course, so that's got it's up and downsides. Some scenes have better material than others, sometimes the material fits better than at other times ... at no point does anything look like the actual apocalypse, but eh. It's kinda expected. Overall I think the choices are sensibly made.

I'm answering this one because I had a lot of differents feedback/reviews, and it's important to be clear about the next steps in the game:

About the story, it's not really apocalypse. (Don't expect a nuclear bomb to appear in the story). I want to improve the survival side of the game, without putting a boring and repetitive gameplay. I'm working on the water/electricity system but I want to take my time to release something nice.

The writing is unfortunately awful. Out of 5 words, you can expect at best 3 or 4 to be correct. It's really that bad. Sometimes it's impossible to decipher what the game is even talking about; best case scenario, when the scene is very simple, there might be only a few mistakes, but then it'll read incredibly clunky. It's just bad. It borderline cannot be worse.
Whether that bothers you or not ... eh. It's the sorta game that I find surprisingly still tolerable despite this, but it really, really could be better.

I'm aware that the writing is not good. With the help of few people, I'm re-writing some parts of the game, and I'm correcting mistakes too. I expect a big step-up in v0.7.
In addition, I think the intro of the game is bad and is not matching the quality of the most recent scenes, so it returns a wrong idea about the game. I'm gonna rework it too.

Characters are okay as far as I could understand them. As more introduced, and as they all get equally horny, their personalities begin to blur a bit. Would be nice if more of them had something a bit unique going on (aside from getting more and more horny).

UI is okay, but some bits could do with less clicks - especially the phone, I'd say. I'd also suggest marking locations if characters are there or scenes can trigger there (like with a border and a little character portrait or something).

About the UI: I've developed a new UI about the Relation screen for v0.7, so you have more informations about each girl:
-Presentation of each girl + summary of her background
-Story/Stats informations
-Introduction of the fetish system, different for each girl (Bring back more personalities for each girl)
-Locations: Show where the girl is (except if a special event trigger)
-Tasks: New feature. + give informations on the repeatable scene
It's finished, but no spoil yet, I will show it on Patreon first.


I plan to make a big update in v0.7 about the UI. You can now change the background of the phone, with differents texts you received during the game.
I plan to split the Achievements Screen and the Relation screen, to navigate quickly in the phone.
I plan to rework the navigation between locations for a quicker roaming (specially around the spinney).

After the v0.7 (maybe v0.9/10), I plan to add hovered mode for all the buttons (It could be easier to understand) + an icon on each locations to show where are all the girls.

Gameplay-wise, eh. Maybe the gardening thing could have some upgrades? Like an automated-watering system reducing the work you need to do, or starting a compost to increase how much food you get ... also; fishing traps seem useless. But it's kinda whatever.

It's planned too, but I can't say much or I will spoil the story.

Thanks for your constructive feedback!

Hey everyone.

I've been enjoying the game so far, but I can't seem to progress the story any further.
According to the hints, Kenzie's story is locked behind Vina's, Vina's is locked behind Lacy's, and Lacy's is locked behind Alina's.
Alina's hint tells me to "Go inside the spinney", and nothing else. But I've tried every room in the spinney at every time of day and nothing seems to happen.

I've attached my save file in case anyone wants to take a look. Any help would be appreciated!

EDIT: Well, nevermind, I just needed to progress Ariana's events.

 

[stho90]

Very very nice game
I am looking forward to the main story line!!!

Just one question that is confusing me: How do i fuck Kenzie if she is on level 5?
I am able to fuck Vina and Ariana (on lv5) when i want, but it seems that i did not find this option for Kinzie.
It would be awesome to use my little slut when i want
Sorry if this has been answered before and i missed the related post.

Some comments - didn't play through the entire current version yet, but completed the previous one.

It's a surprisingly fun romp of a porn game. You got a porn plot - it's the apocalypse and it's making everyone conveniently horny - and gameplay that keeps you busy but doesn't need any excessive grind or obscure scene finding. Instead you just quickly move between locations while doing a few tasks to a steady supply of new porn scene.

Those scenes are real-porn, of course, so that's got it's up and downsides. Some scenes have better material than others, sometimes the material fits better than at other times ... at no point does anything look like the actual apocalypse, but eh. It's kinda expected.

Either way okay job so far.

I finished all 167 days,storage pretty good(+300food). I figured up to now it goes 2ways=1 on next update 3some with all girls and some with Jillian/adera and some storyline and 2=little scenes and good storyline. For me I prefer finish all the girls including the last 2 with 3some then dev can concentrate only on storyline. Even thou we need more fuel(if we need to move around in car in future) I said the girl part because that way we only need to focus on storage and storyline, also I could edit the food/fuel/wood, to have enough food to feed the whole world,enough fuel to travel all over the world and enough wood to burn the whole world if it pisses me off

 

[chicho1958]

Game done for this version,persistent file also included just incase and saved before going to bed since dev said to go sleep when new updates,no cheats, and stats/storage pretty good, since game is done might spend some time filling the storge more, never know what the future awaits us. Enjoy the save file

I think I might have a bug with Vina hunger, it stays at -5 and no matter what I do it doesnt change, I do however get game over 2 days after now matter what I do, cook or eat with her doesnt affect the stat afaik.

You must be registered to see the links

are you growing food? fishing? for fishing you need repair hut,then pier will need wood the more str you have the more wood you get wood cap is 7max. You can also upload save to that link and give yourself food, I strongly suggest don'tt= touch variables on girls stats you will miss stuff and also don't touch MC stats or send me save I'll do it for you, give yourself 4k food toavoid gardening till you get hang of it and also remember that gardening you have to work for certain days potatos 4work days,carrots 2 days and tomatos 3 days(I think) also if vina goes hunger 3days+ it's game over, search houses/barn and take your time till you get hang of it the rest is easy

Android compatible???

I see a lot of people saying: The fishing is useless, you have to spam potatoes and it's easy.
Don't forget that you can unlock some special events with other plants or fishing. (For example, fishing scene with Vina when you cook your fish.).
In the future, I plan to add more side scene like scene, and unlock special gear to boost one of your production/stat.

For food, they are right, fishing is a waste of time compared to other sources. A little sad I reckon, but if we could get more than fish from fishing, it could become a viable option.
It could be rarer stuff like a lockbox with jewelry for one or more of the girls, lobsters for fine dining, other curiosities we need to find for quests (instead of just searching the old barn), along with higher numbers of fish, all of it depending on fishing skill. At high fishing skill we might even become able to create a net at the beachhouse and use that to fish larger quantities over time.

Edit: Typo

Edit: Typo

when you have 4 mouths to feed going fishing 1 time saves you losing your food supply for that day while waiting for garden and agree with you with lobsters they should use those traps for them and also would be good idea to stack fish/garden veggies because when you don't want to give them to the girl in spinney you save them for later cooking got all4 things cooked(fish/potatos/carrots/tomatos and 4 ready to cook but rather stock up on them, I always try keep food supply +300 and also a hunting thing wouldn't be so bad ...you know Meeeeeat yummy.

Could you make food stackable for cooking, I mean you fish/cook it then you catch another fish but after that fish doesn't stack for further cooking same as veggies,kinda force to give it away or use it as a gift got vina and veggie girl more 250 relationship and add chickens(eggs) and meat, also adding a little plot every update would keep people playing and more looking to support you, overall the game is not bad you going in the right direction but if you put so many sex scenes you gonna wear out these young players

The chickens are planned yes.
About the plot, I try to add news events at each update. Christmas was an exception.

 

[BigPoppaLoppa]

Just wanted to say that I loved this game. It really has alot of potential. I hope in the future their are more women to interact with and some game mechanics could be tightened up but overall I'd give this title 4 out of 5 stars with the possibility of reaching the 5th star. Thanks for sharing Dev. And Big thanks to whomever ported it for Android.

Great game, been enjoying it very much. One thing I would like to see (possibly already a thing in 07 or to be implemented) When a new scene is playing out in a room, a graphic with the girl on the room would save folk from getting lost and the need for elaborate walkthroughs. Make it simpler sure, less frustrating definitely. Either way, still a great game, well done and lots of luck with future projects.

There's an in game info that tells you what to do(phone bottom left icon) besides getting lost and ending up in another girl bedrrom is always nice
