Ren'Py - Tropicali [v0.9c] [Story Anon]

It's early so there is not a ton of content (certainly not compared to the author's other game), but what we have is fun.

Pros:

• The MC is a "likable rogue", a jackass but not an asshole. Unlike a lot of porn MCs, he actually makes the scenes he is in better.
• Really good-looking girls. Lots of different body types and anime archetypes. It's Koikatsu, but it's pretty good Koikatsu.
• Game mechanics have some actual thought put into them. Like, it's not grinding for the sake of grinding. If you hate business sims you probably won't be thrilled with the management portion, but most people will dig it.
• Dialogue is snappy and pretty funny
• Animations are pretty fucking good

Cons:

• The plot is there and it's not terrible, but the game is still an early demo so it's far from fleshed out. If you hate playing incomplete games you'd best wait a bit.
• The game mechanics need a little fine-tuning, particularly in the area of difficulty. Right now it's not hard enough to be challenging, but a little more work than it should be if you just want to play it like a VN.
• The best-looking girl has some tragically nasty tanlines

So: Some strong pros, and the cons are stuff that will probably shake out as the game matures (except that last one, which is just a personal taste issue). Good fucking game for a first release.

Definitely worth a look. If you like Story Anon's art in Out of Touch but don't like the heavy story or the goofy MC or the female protag switchoffs, this game will make you happy.

What else can be said about Tropicali except that it's an incredible piece of work with a lot of heart to it. There is so much to say that already is oozing out of every part of this game that just screams "quality, dedication, and love".

Music: Slamming. Everything flows so well and captures the moments on point.

Character design: Wonderful! No chikas, everyone has a clear silhouette that identifies them, and there is a solid amount of them that gives a lot of good eye candy. And then Fernando is also a great design and blows most Koi male models out of the water!

Cinemetography: There is a clear understanding of how to use the scenes and colors to the fullest here. Nothing is wasted and everything is spot on. Of course, clipping sometimes is around but very excusable for the sheer quality of everything else.

Animations: Solid and absolutely wonderful! They did what they needed to do and more! The only complaint would be asking for more, hah!

Story: Solid as well and does exactly enough for what's needed for the story. Comedic, dramatic, bit of intrigue, and just enough to get the pacing going. It knows what it is and doesn't shy away from it.

All-in-all, I highly suggest this game to anyone who enjoys a simple management game and sexy beach going ladies :V

TROPICALI
A game with girls of all archetypes:
Do you want the expressionless girl? Tropicali's got it
Do you want the tanned tomboy with a nice toned ass? Tropicali's got it
Do you want a milf with childbearing hips? Tropicali's got it
Do you want a fucking dommy mommy that'll wring the cum out of you like a faucet until you're a dry husk? Tropicali's FUCKING GOT IT

A sandbox game with easy to reach choices and easy to understand mechanics that will make your playthrough pretty fun and inviting to replay, as the management mini-game invites you to have fun with the choices of who to put where and with whom. And to see how much money you can get by the end of it because big number makes monkey brain happy.

Overall a really enjoyable game in which you can feel the soul of Story Anon come into place, with each of his helpers none the less fiery about bringing this idea to life.

Also animations are hot af, real seal of approval right there-
