VN Ren'Py Completed Turning the Page [v1.0.0] [Azienda]

[Iexist]

Is this the default behaviour of Ren'py games (meaning, without adding any special code for it), or is it something that is possible (by coding it into the script files of the game)?

I honestly don't know for sure, but I suspect some amount of default telemetry might be present. Telemetry is everywhere these days. Thing is, from talking with one dev about it, it seems like if you just put links to your Patreon in the game, or anywhere in general, Ren'Py automatically tries to ping the server to see if it's available at boot even if no one clicks the link. It might be possible to alter that behavior, but most indie devs don't have that kind of know-how. Most pick-up Ren'Py specifically because it's easy to use even if you're not particularly good at coding.

In Azienda's case, the game is intentionally set-up so it can auto-update itself, but it's not particularly hard to block, nor is it hidden. The game literally tells you about it at boot so it's not like they're trying to sneakily mine your data. It's not like the miles of telemetry stuff like Triple A games have hidden behind a metric ton of legalese...

This is insane behavior

Yeah, well telemetry collecting happens everywhere on the internet, so that's not what I was "crusading" about when I proclaimed Azienda my 'enemy'.

It's the adding of the "auto-update" feature that leaks even more telemetry to the developers that I find worrisome.

 

[bigboat]

It simply checks the version u launched against the most recent update. If theres a new version theres a little option in the corner letting you know, that links to their patreon. Its the most tame thing many devs do lmao.

I mean, it doesn't leak any more data than anything else with the same function would as far as I understand. But I'm no expert. As is, if you're getting the game from here and not their official site, it's better to just block it, sandbox it whatever, cuz you never know these days.

I remember same things being said about certain horse armor...

I'm sorry but thats just major pearl clutching brother. Devs dont even generate unique mega links to idenifty and ban leakers. Though imo they should bc it'll make a certain individual cry

Falling Undercover: Nox Syndicate - April Sneak Peek post

2 hours ago

Hey all!
We’re already in April… it’s a big month for us, and for our fans too! You finally get to experience Falling Undercover: Nox Syndicate!
Before we share a little peek at what we got cooking with you guys, we’ll say that things are progressing nicely. A lot of the production work is done, and the art is nearing completion. We are in the middle of doing some rewrites, but it isn’t anything major. With any luck, we’ll be on to the testing phase next week.
Fingers crossed!
In any case, for those of you who are curious, here’s a quick peek at one of the CGs from FUNS Episode 1:

They can simply make a script that hit patreon to check new update, but instead it connects to their cloudflare worker so they can spy on you wanking on a mid ass teacher's corruption.

Them may collect players count and IP's by parsing their webserver logs. But them don't run any remote code from their server like you suggest. It's just a single simple GET request for json data with actual version of the game. You can check it yourself - updater is in "game/updater.rpyc" file:

        persistent.response = requests.get("https://ttp.azienda.workers.dev/", verify=ca_file).json()
        persistent.newVersion = persistent.response['version']
        persistent.newLink = persistent.response['link']

And webserver responds with:

{
  "version": "1.0.0",
  "link": "https://aziendagames.com/"
}

Nothing criminal. All it does - shows message if your version is older than current.

I run all games in isolated sandbox without internet and access to filesystem. And I personally consider any web requests for any porn game a bad thing and attack on my privacy. A lot of games here do this kind of things to check for updates and display latest news. It's kind of bad yet standard practice. So if you care about privacy - just sandbox all your porn games. If you care about security - there's absolute no reason to worry about this exact game.

So you prefer that Patreon "spies" on you instead of the project's Developer.... good to know.... hehehe

Imagine working on patreon, didn't you know they also have to read the whole ntr vn to determine if blackmail is in it?

Them must be providing extended medicare and at least $30/h for this kind of job. Where can I apply?

With current LLMs / "AI" it would be quite simple to get the it to summarise the content types in the project, thus not needing a human to read through the source code to determine that.

Once again AI is taking the best jobs from us.

Damn right, couldn't care less though, I grind my way to post-economic.

It was almost painful to watch how she degraded and became vile and sinister. As Watershed pointed out in the reviews: "It's like they spend way too much time with Felix so you actually feel bad for him".

IDK, that could be a short after-fap melancholy trip, but this game made me look at it from another perspective and reflect on whether I actually enjoy this kind of stuff.

I mean, that Felix dude did nothing wrong. Yes, his Johnson wasn't big, but you can't blame the man though. And it's not like she did ever complain either. The argument of him being "stupid" and oblivious does not change the fact he was sentenced to suffer, as there is no world for him she doesn't get corrupted to the core (except for one ending where everything is cut short and she doesn't get a chance to fall in the trap there is no escape from, if I'm not mistaken).

Ultimately, it's a kind of "if you go fuck, there's no going back" situation for her in this story. But I think I've come to realization that it's almost ubiquitous in tropes focused on NTR and corruption. It's almost always a black and white dichotomy of having either the pure-love vanilla route or the corruption route. You should either avoid the boss or are destined to be steamrolled no matter what, and what can vary there is the amount of cruelty that entails. It's not like this can't have its place on the NTR spectrum, but I'm just wondering why is this (seemingly) the most common pattern out there. Perhaps, it's just easier to implement and it sells good, and it requires a talent to create something deeper.

Anyway, I feel I'm all over the place with this already. I don't really know what I wanted to say. The game is good in its particular department, and maybe I'm just wishing it was something it is not.

I think its about much more than his johnson size. And he can be blamed, he didn't do what he needed to do to be attractive to his woman.

And what did he need to do exactly? I mean, I could guess, but I'd like to hear your opinion.

 

[stunnaboygetem.real]

And what did he need to do exactly? I mean, I could guess, but I'd like to hear your opinion.

Your guess is probably correct if you know anything about heterosexual relationships. What he needed to do was the point of Zack’s character / their contrast. Felix is too meek and submissive, he doesn’t embody any masculinity at all. At least, in his personality / how he interacts with Sophie.

Also, regarding your thoughts on NTR as a whole, yes that extreme dichotomy is very prevalent because it is popular and sells well. NTR fans are a bunch of sadists and masochists, the steamrolling is the best part lol. But if you want something more deeper and nuanced, try Hero Party Must Fall. That is the best written NTR imo, dev is very talented as a writer
