Ren'Py Completed TP: The Class Next Door [v0.12.1] [9thCrux]

[Deleted member 2744443]

if want slowburn (more like walking in biggest snowstorm since moses separated red sea) with lots of stupid dreamscenes and 1 or maybe 2 actual sexscenes then game isn't bad.

The biggest snowstorm after the one that dumped six feet on us, was called a Herbie in McMurdo Antarctica, I am certain, you would have enjoyed that one. You can do some searches for them, it means a Hurricane force wind blowing the snow around, white out is usually during summers where you become snow blind. But can occur during the winter, conditions you cannot see your hand if you hold it out away from your body. In those cases we string ropes between buildings, but only emergency duty allowed to go outside. People can literally freeze to death getting lost. Have a nice day!

I can't remember the handie, but Tiffany does give the MC a BJ in the shower and a thighjob at night on their bed (neither of these is a dream). There isn't non-dream sex yet, though, like cxx already said.

I do agree that the water was probably a little too clear, but I have seen the rare public / school pool that was actually basically clear in "color" (like

, for instance). It's just pretty rare, since usually there's so much water that our eyes can't help but see all the blue.

When Melanie was concerned about the depth of the pool, Tiffany specifically said it was pretty shallow water. It's very possible this wasn't even remotely in 9thCrux' mind when writing this scene, but I think it's technically fine, given how light works with water.

This sounds suspiciously similar to A Knight's Tale. Lol.

That really does depend on your focus, ofc. If you're not getting high Daria points, that's bypassed entirely. IDK about the animation, TBH. I agree that it's a rougher one, but personally I wouldn't consider it egregious. I've definitely seen much worse in games, but I've also seen much better. I think it was middling in quality; it's amazing what a different those extra frames will make in an animation.

Even one more week of waiting could've probably allowed another couple dozen renders to be added, making the sequence much smoother and pleasant. Still, I obviously can't speak to the dev's personal skill level (if it's high, I would assume this is just laziness or else literally no more time in his schedule). I also can't speak to the capabilities of his system(s); maybe renders take him between 12 and 24 hours each. (Doubtful, but it's possible.) I think he should instead struggle to do animations on his own and hone his skills before trying to add that in a game. I'd much rather see stills than really jumpy loops.

I think this is probably some part of the plot. There is still a ??? on the love interest screen, making me wonder if the dev plans to allow the MC to get back together with his ex. I really don't think that makes sense, given that his daughter looks 99% like her mom and has a much more pleasant personality, but who knows?

Setting that unlikely scenario aside, I do think this is supposed to be important at some point. Looking in between all of the "hello" and "I agree" filler, there are indications that the MC's books have been huge inspirations for practically everyone at the school, parent and student alike. While I highly doubt anyone's self-help series are that widespread and effective (Tony Robbins isn't even that good), if I just roll with the idea I can see the desire of everybody to meet the ex as a way to feel even closer to the MC. It's extremely unlikely and decently weird, but I get the feeling this is supposed to be a part of that or something.

I would seriously recommend the MC not start up a relationship with his ex. I would put her into the category of a sociopath. She expresses no emotion, cannot fathom emotions and social interactions and expresses narcist behaviors (its all about her needs or wants). I expect if the MC keeps in contact she will be stalking and eliminating her perceived rivals and Officer Michael will possibly come to the rescue. If it were me and she literally made me so ill I was at death's door from a horrible physiological and psychological breakdown, an order of protection and cameras outside. It is one thing trying to help daughter adjust, another to risk a killer.

I agree. I definitely do not want that to happen. IJS that the ??? makes me a little worried this could be a thing later. I hope it's just someone we haven't met yet.

The Dev answered the harem question in the thread and said no harem so don't get your hopes up.

Welp, I am out.

Game locked up, MC is looking for the keys to the car needed for date with Miss Evans. No text, spacebar, left mouse clicks. Saved, but no forward progress. Cleaned files, defragged, did everything except restart PC. Attached (4-4-LT1) is post game freeze, music plays but no other apparent response. 4-3-LT1 is the save prior to that with no issues exhibited just in case the last failed save is irredeemable.

you need to find car keys, they are somewhere on that screen.

Welp, I am out.

well dev said no harem but that was long ago and currently players have no idea where this leads.

Are all the characters autistic? Is the dev autistic and he's writing a game to try and understand human emotions? There is so much pointless inane dialogue, with no romance, sexual stuff is like a business transaction, the MC doesn't do anything FOR the girls instead they are all just autistic girls interested in what a penis is like?

Adults call each other Mr/Mrs, I'm pretty sure the writing is maybe 3rd grade level and there is a distinct lack of emotion in every character, no romance with sorta sex scenes that are short and completely without passion and no concept of reciprocity.

I really can only think the dev is autistic has never had a girlfriend and lives with his parents and can't comprehend emotions. All the other scenarios are even scarier.

I don't believe English is the first language of the dev. I assume either Google translate or lack of fluency in English is the cause of a lot of the seemingly emotionless dialogue. There are definitely parts of dialogue that are unnecessary and even verbose or banal, but some of that is almost certainly an issue with translating into English.

instead they are all just autistic girls interested in what a penis is like?

This is true for a lot of adult games; "adult" characters acting like sex, a penis, etc., is all new to them. It's been a porn trope for literally decades. I don't think this has anything to do with autism — for the characters or the developer.

Adults call each other Mr/Mrs

There are cultures where adults use Mr. and Mrs. / Ms. as a sign of respect in any public situation, even if they know each other. I have no idea from what culture the dev comes, but it's possible this is a social norm from their homeland.

I'm pretty sure the writing is maybe 3rd grade level and there is a distinct lack of emotion in every character, no romance with sorta sex scenes that are short and completely without passion and no concept of reciprocity.

I really can only think the dev is autistic has never had a girlfriend and lives with his parents and can't comprehend emotions. All the other scenarios are even scarier.

I would just reiterate that I don't believe the developer natively speaks English. However, you could be correct in your assumption. The ex-wife of the MC is described as such, so it's possible there's some self-reflection there and "leaking" of their IRL personality in other characters that are supposed to be different.

Techstar I just wanted to inform you that I noticed your compressed version (at least the Win/Linux one) includes some folders from some other game. I checked the full version just to make sure and they're not there. These extra folders are in the game/images/... folder, there are 6 of them and they use 165MB in total, so the final compressed size should be significantly lower if you were to remove them.

 

[Techstar]

Thank for reporting, will take a look into it.

Have you heard of the high elves?

 

[jspot]

I'm no professional but my experience with the dev was lacking, I'm in the camp of dev being at least asocial reacting with a ban for one piece of constructive criticism from a long-time subscriber in an opinion poll & a completely sensitive conflated message he sent to explain. Anyway, the visuals are good so I'll look back at game in a year without paying for it.

Gourd-dameit daddy wants to overdo it but daughter won't allow. It should be systematic, the daughter said.

Long time since I've played this, I liked slowburn but having so many releases with low content killed me (would prefer less releases with more content).

The game was fun, but although I like slowburn (it gives depth to the story), it still felt a bit too focused on dreams and stuff. Can you finally have something with any character besides dreams?

like mrperson said short answer is no but long answer is yes but non-dream scenes are very rare and don't last long (for example when daddy and daughter are trying to have sex it interrupts even before daddy gets head in cuz daughter feels pain).

 

[vimmers]

Simple answer is "no" unfortunately

ehhhh how can you say so ?????
are you also a author/developer of this game ???

so far mc has had sex maybe thrice, 1 lapdance (sorta), 1 bj, 1 tj, 1 hj and that's it. don't think that changes anytime soon.

Thank you for the answers. It's sad, the game looked pretty promising, the renders are gorgeous, and I actually like slowburn, but with actual content. I have no hatred for the dev at all, it's his decision, and it seems he keeps working, but this slowburn is like cooking with sunlight.

Oh well, cya next year.
