VN Ren'Py ToxiCity [v0.03] [ILSProductions]

[cucubau111]

This looks like another banger from one of the best devs around!

The visuals are much better now with HS2. I am also quite enjoying this smaller cast. Hopefully, it stays like that rather than flood the game with lots of characters.

I am looking forward to the future updates!

One thing I always love about Kinderfeld's games is the music. They all have the same style, and it gives off Silent Hill vibes. It is just so good.

Besides that, great update as usual. Their games always hit the mark. Thanks, and looking forward to the next update.

Is it me or their noses get a little smaller?

 

[Ottoeight]

Am i the only one that felt like the MC was used by Laura? she just fucked him and said it was a one time thing, i feel a little bad for the mc, and i wonder if the mc nutting inside her will have consequences.

Yes you are.

You just had sex with a married woman who has a son... and you feel used?!? you cannot be serious, bro.

Do you wan't + or - on Anxiety?

Do you wan't + or - on Anxiety?

Given the fact that it increases on its own from events, you want to generally keep it low when given the opportunities.

Apply some common sense to the situation. The group members are more likely to make sound decisions when they aren't overly anxious.

 

[kibaris]

Do you wan't + or - on Anxiety?

Depend, for now there isnt any bad consequences but given their situation in the story it would be better to keep it low, it's always better to have a clear mind especialy when you'r life and others are at stake.
But in this update there is a choice only possible if Kallie anxiety is high enough, to up her trust so having some Anxiety points should be good, just not to much to avoid possible some not so good consequence furter in the story.

 

[Amnezziia]

Do you wan't + or - on Anxiety?

And in addition to what has been said, if you ever have any doubts, look at the WT that the devs provide. I find that it helps to get a clearer idea to have all the choices and consequences listed.

Updated the Multi-Mod now to v0.03 and added Multiple Choice Select.

I enjoyed this rev!

We found out more about the creature(s) wandering the toxic cloud.

We continued to build our relationships with both Laura and Kallie.

I thought the buildup to the MC and Laura having sex was nicely done and organic to the story.

We got an interesting bit of world building at the end of the rev.

Spoiler: What is going on?

The isolation, limited visibility, failure of technology to function as we expect it to and growing sense of unease about 'what' is out there in that acidic mist helps to create a sense of being on edge.

All in all, a very nice monthly update.

I think lunch today will include a nice burger, fry and drink combo - without a side of acid...

Cheers!!

So you do remember the whole inner dialog MC is having in the leadup to having sex with Laura, right? He knows exactly what he's getting into, pretty much why from both his perspective and hers, and you the player make the choice to have sex or back off and not do it. Hard to be the "used" party when your own willing, informed choice caused the situation to be...

Haven't played this yet, but really hoping the dev took feedback and constructive criticism from their previous game in consideration. They're very talented when they want to be.

 

[shucia]

So another post apocalyptic story that 90% of it will be spent in low light environments. I liked Now&Then, but interim domain was a huge miss for me, and seeing the same thing for the third time doesn't really inspire confidence.

I'll take this over the majority drama in college,household bla bla bla from most of the games on this platform.

...thx for the share....good luck to the dev....

Why is there no headbanging reaction...?

That said the premise looks incredibly promising, even before considering who is writing this.

Is there a specific piece of criticism you are looking at the Dev trying to keep in mind? I am just curious as this really wasn't that helpful if you actually wanted to say anything to the dev, or telling us what you hoped was implemented.

 

[Trivieum]

Using an elevator in a building that wasn't necessarily being maintained properly leading up to the stories events... seems unwise haha. Imagine all 3 of them using it at once and getting stuck? XD no one's coming to help!

Fair enough, main criticism from TID was:

• Too many LIs, i.e., quantity over quality
  • Other than one character that was relegated as a side character, no history with the MC, so dev had to introduce them all to MC and us the audience which dragged on. With N&T, a bunch of the LIs had history with the MC making relationship building easier. I.e., less porn logic leaps.
• Given the premise, the story was a non-stop trauma dump
• The sex scenes seemed like the standard animations and were repetitive across LIs
• The endings were pretty bad and threw a lot of the narrative progress out the window

I just started playing today, and haven't finished, but so far focusing on two LI's and making this a more straightforward narrative is a good move. I hope they limit it to 5-6 total main LIs or less and don't shift back to the Choose Your Adventure selection style like TID. That style combined with the number of LIs adds a lot more variable tracking which increases coding and story complexity.

I'm not a fan of the relationship setup, so far, but it's still really early -- i.e., the fact that the MC has no real history with either LI other than occasionally talking to them at work makes them the same as strangers. This means the dev has to work a lot harder at relationship build-up and this time they can't hand waive it away with Interim Archon Magic™. But, since there are less LIs, there is more time to do this.

Iirc this is the first time ILS has netori LIs, I don't remember any in N&T (pretty sure any LI husbands or boyfriends were dead) and in TID all of the LIs are uninvolved and if they had partners, they'd be shades. So, the dev has to figure out how to advance the relationships when the LIs partners may be alive and the LIs seem to have a positive relationship with their partners. Also, the MC doesn't seem like the morally ambiguous scumbag type to facilitate 'stealing' the LIs.

The latest update starts tackling some of the things you talked about here.

 

[Walter Victor]

As for the number of LIs in this game, according to the current variables, there will be at least two more, in addition to the two we have already met. According to those variables, the new girls' first names will start with 'e' and 's'... you're guess is as good as mine. We haven't even heard of anyone with those initials. The MC's ex-wife's name is Nancy, so she's not one of them.

I know we are in the dark about the total number of future LI's but I'm guessing that there are at least 6 based on this image the dev published for 2025:



As closely as I can tell - the images of Kallie and Laura include side profiles - but I could be wrong.

Given the way the story is playing out right now:

With repeated commentary about the new 'home' being temporary - a place to stay for a few days, I think we will encounter our next woman or pair of women as part of the next move to a new, temporary home.

Wondering about adding to our group of survivors, coupled with the news at the end of the episode, makes it hard to wait for the next release but, with a wait of < 28 days now, this won't be a long wait.

Cheers!!
