Hello, if your female character does not evoke sympathy, it means that I have poorly worked out the beginning of the story, where the player, the situation that happened to Nicole should evoke sympathy. But I want to warn you that nothing terrible has happened yet (Only if Jeffrey decided to break up with Nicole, not having enough brave points).
I plan to include the main hardcore line in the third chapter . In many games, players simply demand retribution in rage, and do not find it. I want to give it to them.
As for the fact that I abandoned the slow path of corruption, which nullified the slow corruption of the female character, this is a lack of time.
A good person can't change so much in two game days to do all these terrible things. It would be necessary to slowly walk around for another game week, and this would take 7-10 months of development. That's why I decided to find another way, which disappointed some players.
Hey boboqwe - I really can only assure you of doing what you found out.
See, most devs simply don't get it – what it's all about when it comes to "erotic/sex" Ren'Pys.
The better word instead of 'visual novel' is definitely 'interactive comic'.
I have wondered for years now why a lot of devs and also fans don't look at the porn comix platforms and see how things really work. … best is - yes also this site has such a comix section …lol. Writing books or creating comics is less complicated than doing a Ren'Py. And exactly these people come up with crap like character development or criticism of lacking such.
It's simple how these click stories work for the audience: Since it's visual, you go one scene, one likes it, get's turned on or get's emotions or whatever. Then next scene and so on. Scene by scene.
(Not even taken into account that all these games are unfinished without any outlook ever anyone seeing a final result or full story.)
To be honest, it actually does not even matter if you give the whole thing a story or not: for example your menagerie works at an office, wears typical clothes doing so, place looks like that – same at the sadomaso place – and so on. So you decided to let there be some criminal business around. All these protagonists don't know what they're really doing, and that's why you as a dev can do whatever you fantasise with this menagerie in any future/next scene. Nobody wonders about a short-skirted high heel' giving a blow job under a desk or a latex bitch using a whip – even in real life, things like that are seen as pretty comical.
The big names in sex/blackmail/hey-give-me-your-money/fan-remake ren'pys exist on this very principle: the scenes in themselves – story-wise, mostly dumb garbage.
Yes, sex trash. That's what it's all about. That works – garbage doesn't work. As soon as people start to think it only can result badly. That's why it's been piling up on this platform for years and every week someone new asks if there's a chance of Estate Dominate game to be continued. That one is from 2019 and abandoned 2020.
You can consider yourself a prince or princess under hardly any kings, lol. Devs often forget that every day fans download lots of games here: more than 90% of the written lines are skipped no matter how good the visuals are because of the audience being overflooded with that nonsense.
In 1963 the Beatles did record "I Wanna Be Your Man", which is 1:58 min; the Rolling Stones also released that one, but it was 1:43 - both bands left no room for imagination what the song was all about. The Stones even unconventionally using a steel guitar to give it a "hot drive". So that's why it's hard to smart out the smart and experienced. We don't want to know any childhood stories of any protagonists; only the less than 2 minutes count. The dominant kick balls, no matter what, anyway.
Your game cover leaves no doubts. Also: what kind of woman is called the viper? Probably not the good fairy at Pinocchio's.
You did a good job.
See you.
