VN Ren'Py Thief of Hearts [P2 Ep.4 v0.0.4b] [MrDots Games]

[asahibito]

For me, there's no issue with the first one with Vivian, but with second one with restaurant date scene with Zora (i.e. Yuki), no matter how much I click on the that spot, there's no notification stating "secret scene unlocked" on top left (and the secret lock heart remains).
I have no idea why it isn't working.
Is there a way to force it to work?

Until now, I didn't mess around with the persistent files (didn't even touch them), so I'm scratching my head as to why it isn't triggering.

Not quite sure why it is not working for you. My screenshot was taken with the animations settings in the vault set to ON. The vault code can be found in the OP of this thread.

The blackmail itself is unavoidable since mc want to know more about what happenned to Victor, but you arent forced to do anything sexual with her, it's under choices.
It's only if you want to progress into her route that you need to take advantage of it

In this update for example, you need to force her to undress and then start molesting her if you want to gain a heart with her.

Great! So instead of getting better, MC is going from a creepy stalker to get hearts to sexual assault to get hearts.

I remember inputting the vault code, but don't remember checking the "animations settings in the vault set to ON."
Gonna check it when I finish work tonight.

If that's not the issue and it still doesn't work, it is what it is.
Fingers crossed setting not turned on is the reasoning, heh.

Tried it and it still didn't work - and all the settings were turned on, like your screenshot.
Oh well, it is what it is (shrugs).

Awesome, i'm not alone in thinking this MC is a creepy weirdo.

It's like they have gone from one extreme to another. First we get a decent, mature MC helping a girl with her music career or a romantic relationship with one of the other girls. DmD's mc was okay, Hotel dude was okay then we go from decent and mature to creepy and odd.

He's got scenes of him wanking off on someone in a shower, not even hiding just right infront of the shower, that was creepy enough but then he can grope people in their sleep sexually assault people and now blackmail.

It's got every trope I hate in a main character. peeping, sleep assault and blackmail.

I loved all their other games but this one deff is not for me.

The story is interesting, most of the characters seem great but I found myself hating the MC in a very short span of time.

I'm not a big fan of this kind of thing myself, but....

This is debatable... in fact I don't remember many people praising Mc in each of the MrDots games, the only Mc that I remember not being touched and not hated was from the game <Melody>, otherwise games like SL and DMD, there are people who really hate Mc...

I haven't played the updates of this game yet, but reading the comments I think everyone is overreacting, although... I don't know, I wouldn't rush to conclusions yet

Well, it's just me, because I'm used to how some developers like to make Mc a loser or a weak whiner, but to have hate because of blackmail?... I don't remember anything like that, I guess I just avoided something like that, so I'll wait for now and not rush to conclusions.

 

[Raegord]

What kind incest in this game? Sis, mom?

It bugged me that to get the maximum hearts to continue the relationships, you had to do the creepy options. You got hearts for looking up Ariel's dress, or creeping into Bella's room to watch her change or sleep, or rubbing one out while perving on mom in the shower (iirc). If you ignored those options and actually concentrated on the mission, you would end up failing with the girl. I know it's me, but I just don't like playing a MC like that. And now it appears if we want to advance with Officer Justice (which I had planned on), we have to blackmail her into sexual stuff.

I thought the SL MC was a bit of an idiot, but I never found him creepy.

I remember how many complained about MC from SL, that the developers also got some hate, and that's why they wanted to make a completely different Mc in the new game, different from all their games, making him adult and smart, but... apparently the developers overdid it with perversions for Mc... Well the fans got what they demanded, so beware of your complaints lol

I thought the SL MC was a bit of an idiot, but I never found him creepy.

As I said before, I won't rush to conclusions... the last few years MrDots received a couple of complaints related to the past of the game<about sharing dmd> then <flashback of Mc's father from SL> and some bonus scene in this game which also was a stir that I am not surprised by anything anymore lol...

but for now I gave the genre dev's and for now I won't rush and this game will turn out no worse than other previous games hopefully

Honnestly i feel you, i played each game , Melody even was one of my first experience, and i keep some good memory of it.
With DmD or Sunshine love it was decent but not on the same level than Melody (for me) but i dont remember disliking an mc or just a main character in those games so much than the mc in this one , not even Nicole
If it wasnt for Victor being even worst, i would have been happy with how ended the previous update ... ^^


To much of a creep for me, i dont have all the choices of the previous updates in mind, but just in this one, between how we have to act with Justice, or taking advantage of Bella when she drunk to get an handjob.
She wont remember anything the day after ,and of course it's needed for the heart which make it even more ridiculous to gain a heart in that scene..., in top of feeling just wrong.
Even the plot by itself feel poorly written , with mc hidding Victor whereabout for no reason,even letting worrying them for a long time before telling them what Victor did to him and Viviane, and at the end of the update before visiting the prison he ask Viviane to not let him know that she know about the cheating part, and yet, he's spilling the bean himself at his very first sentence ....

I really wanted to like this game, but for now it just doesnt do it for me, maybe it will improve but we're not talking about a dev who work on his first project here, so i'm dubious about it getting better , we'll see i suppose ...

I never praised the MC's at the time, it's only when I found one I hated I realised how good i had it in the other games.

The biggest difference is all the other games were basically romance stories. SL's MC was a bit dense at times but the relationships were great.

Here we have an MC that sounds great but in order to get full hearts with the girls I need to pick options I hate and avoid other games of it's type for. On the surface it's romance story similar to the other but underneath it's got every single corruption game trope and I don't play corruption games because I hate those actions. Peeping, sleep grope, wanking over someone in a shower, trying to oggle up a girls skirt and blackmail. It's all the things a loser creepy MC does.

That left me with 3 choices. I either do the things I hate in order to see the girls scenes or I miss it all and avoid those choices or I just bin it off because it's not worth it. I'm not going to see the scenes of the characters I like because I won't do the stuff I hate so it's not worth my time bothering.

It's the first time i've played a game by these devs that I won't be able to finish.

 

[Hyperserver]

Haven't got that far yet, is she avoidable?

I'm not into blackmail stuff or corruption in general, i'd like to skip over that if possible.

you should be able to avoid every one of the girls. In case of Officer J., you can't avoid to blackmail her, but you can avoid her sexually.
If you see her husband next update (Ep 5), you will understand why she acts like that even being married - just saying

 

[cxx]

btw - how long to get rid of him?

soon i think.

Seems to have a bug relating to Zora's first workout session. I have checked the walkthrough and done everything right, including shower peeking twice, but the task remains unfinished and there is no point on the heart. However at the end of Episode 2, it said I gained a heart point.

yes, we know... it's intended.
Someone simply forgot to set a variable in that scene. To prevent all players to be forced to replay the whole game, we just added the new variable right at start of EP3 and set it for all players to 1 heart (you can still decline sexual favors even if you have enough hearts to continue, but not the other way around) This was a trade-off-fix kind of.

Come on dude, BaasB doesn't want to get out of the past 2024. At least someone's time is flying slowly

 

[Noble_Undergrounder_of_Ea]

Dad better be dead by the end of the game or something similar like paralyze neck down. I love it when dad gets beaten up.

 

[indio68]

i got the first part finished...but i don't see any Save your game here..how can i get my save game to part 2 now??

 

[indio68]

This was fixed in v0.0.3b. If that's the version you were playing, then we may need to take another look, but I'm fairly sure we got that as you can see in our changes. There were several other things fixed too like several video files that were meant to be replaced were not because the files got moved to the wrong folder.
