VN Ren'Py University of Problems [v1.7.5 Extended] [DreamNow]

[ItsNotUs]

Not seen that before, so it was interesting to read. The bit I was interested in was whether you would interact with a sorority version of Ashley – for instance, like the evening you can have with Ivy as your prize. It would need more than that of course, or she would only ever be able to be a side girl though. I wouldn't have expected a scenario where you see her getting banged by someone else, although I guess it could be implied that it was happening off screen. Seeing her like Roxy would be interesting, but I don't think would really fit the game, as you'd have two very similar characters, though it would presumably take Ashley some time to get to that level of confidence and activity.

I also read this information for the first time, for me it was always interesting to know Carol’s background, what she did for the sorority, what kind of photo session, will we see these photos, it was interesting even if she once behaved like a whore and it would be even more interesting to see her in those moments!

I don’t understand why the dev doesn’t want to play with these themes deeper and wider. MC fucks everyone and has serious relationships with several girls at once, why can’t some of them do the same? I think it would add some spice!
And of course, for this it would be necessary to make one choice or another.

I didn't quite get what you meant with the LI list there, are you saying your save has Carol and Yuki, Roxy and Nikki, and Ashley as LIs and the rest not? Is that why it felt short to you?

I got 2/3 of girls in game in my playthrough but this update gave me only a short scene with Nikki. I would understand it if I did a totally monogamous run with only one girl, but the list is more than solid.

I didn't feel like it was a short update, and for four months, I thought it was pretty decent actually, especially in comparison to some updates we've had recently after a much longer wait.

Yeah, it's always about comparison. And now I have got a confirmation again that scolding DPC or whinning for one update per year is the height of insanity. And updates in this (UoP) game is far from the worst case. It's still have a decent pace of development - content balance. There're much worst examples, and, which is more fun, sometimes there is a team working on the game rather then single man as in case with DPC or DreamNow.

If you're not on Rachel and/or Sara paths, I get how this update would probably feel short though, and even more so if you're also not interacting with Sasha.

That's why making each update more balanced is very important.

And your comment on harems is in direct conflict with my thoughts, as to me it looks like the harem opportunities are getting greater. There have been some points where LIs are getting closer to finding out about each other, but there are also explicit conversations (or at least one, so far) about a harem (using that exact word) and putting it together. Whether that means it will happen or not remains to be seen, but I certainly don't see a destruction of any "harem path".

According to events in latest episodes, MC started to think how to deal with all this mess he involded himself in (Roxy & dating others or vice versa, burning Natalie - Roxy bridge, etc, etc) So I see it differently. The "throuple" paths like Roxy + Nikki, Carol + Yuki, Sara + Ashley or the new fresh one of Sara + Nikki are understandable, but it's not about "harem" again, it's about the throuple paths as is. You still have to choice one of them, I suppose, sooner or later. Do I need to explain the difference with typical harem games?

And that's why you'll need to replay game several times, because some of relationships forms in the very beginning of the game as well as paths mixes/choices. The latest update is #27. And signs of branching and cutting off "conflicting" paths started like when? In #24 or #25? But isn't it a little late? Because until the last 2-3 updates, the game looked like a good quality "harem" game, with some kind of more or less decent plot, high-quality lewd scenes, etc. and suddenly, after years of development and on update 24-25, the concept changes dramatically. In the game world, only a month has passed - day 33 in the notepad at the moment. Here is the problem. The early episodes doesn't (almost) grant you with any content/bonuses for being loyal and sticking for one(two) LIs. So replayability is questionable and seems quite boring. Because you have to pass through 20+ updates just to get a save at the current episode to successfully continue & explore game further.

Damn！Why are the save files never compatible with the new update.I just use the PDF Walkthrough in reference and no other mods.Then when I load a save file,I just get nothing and the game is stuck.I hate playing from the beginning again!!!

Always works for me. Don't use any mods. I drop games if that happens this far in and am still playing.

Agreed on making balanced updates. The Rachel bit in this update was quite lengthy (compared to others) and the Sara bit was too. Sasha's wasn't necessarily long, but it obviously adds more time to the update if you are involved there too, and then there's a small Ashley scene as well (longer if you're on the Ashley and Sara route as it merges with Sara's scene). Missing out on one or two of those, especially Rachel and Sara would make for a short update.

Nikki jokes about a harem, but it's just in terms of having her paintings of a bunch of girls on the wall. The real harem bit comes from Sasha though. She says she knows what you've been up to with all the different girls and (for unknown reasons that I can't wait to find out) she says she will help you put them together into a harem. It gives me the impression that the usual question of "why would all the girls agree to it once they know about each other" will be answered in some way by "because of Sasha's influence."

So far, in my main save, I have Carol, Yuki (Carol and Yuki threesome path opened), Ashley, Sara (Ashley and Sara threesome path opened), Nikki (Nikki and Sara threesome path opened), Roxy (Roxy and Nikki threesome path opened), Rachel, Lexi, and Sasha (with Alyssa I guess tied in to this one). If it comes to it, I can split the save at any point, but otherwise, this is the basis of my harem, it's just that Sasha appears to be the only one who knows about the others so far, with the exception of Ashley and Nikki knowing about Sara.

I'm actually gonna be a little peeved if he adds a full blown harem (well not really, maybe just a little). When Dream said quite some time ago that there wouldn't be harem only little groups and solos, I went back and split all my paths (and haven't been doing a manwhore path). Maybe I need to a add a manwhore path back in, just in case.

I don't know what I'd prefer. I think for this game the manwhore harem, because I don't think the content is right for solo/throuple runs and replayability. There's no variation, it's just whether you're on a path or not that definies the content you get. There's no getting a scene on a certain path, but the scene plays out differently on another path, etc...

I don't mind the manwhore harem, my annoyance would be if I did all the work splitting all the paths, if it turns out I didn't have to. (I'm basically whining ). It really wouldn't take very long to set up a manwhore path as well, and I'll do that when I get to this update anyway and then I'll have solos/throuples/harem all set up for the run home.

I keep getting this error when trying to extract the game and I'm not sure why. I tried extracting to desktop and a few other folders but it keeps coming up.

Something went fucked with some images. Happened to me and others too, if not everyone. It works, it's just the image at start and end are borked.

 

[PootieSpank69]

is this slow burn?

 

[hermit_tr]

is this slow burn?

In my opinion not

 

[MiltonPowers]

is this slow burn?

Nope.

 

[TonyMurray]

It's more of a raging inferno.

is this slow burn?

Nope. If it was I wouldn't be paying it.

The Dev said he would try to make this a Harem he just needs to find a way. Why say that and ruin it? I think it will work out in the end.

 

[MrDude1977]

Q: "Will there be a harem in the game?"
A: "I try to make the game as realistic as possible for games of this genre. But at the same time, I would like to add a harem ending to the game. So far, I have not found a solution to this contradiction, but I am sure that I will come up with something closer to the final updates." Dev's own words.

 

[Abaddon Doom]

I guess a harem ending has to make sense within the narrative...it's certainly an efficient way of bringing multiple strands of a storyline together...however, if it negates decision-making along the way, then it's a doubled-edged sword.

Need a new multi mod because Sancho hasn't been active for two months

Need a new multi mod because Sancho hasn't been active for two months

For a second I was afraid I would have to restart the WHOLE game because I couldn't load my save... Fortunatly I found a way to salvage my save on the mod thread but... It's been more than two months since Sancho last posted on f95, hopefully he is ok.

 

[Paul59500]

Good morning,
I have a problem with version 1.5.0 ext.
I just installed it with the saves of version 1.4.5 ext and the game crashes when I want to load a save. I tried to install the hotfix and I have the same problem. How to solve it?
THANKS
