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

[Crusader of Romance]

I just started playing this yesterday after someone recommended it as a high-quality game and I have to say so far, I really like it. I was a little worried in the beginning that this game would only be about seducing girls and forcing you into having sex with some characters but it looks like you always have a choice and it's not just about sex scenes, it's also about making friends and having fun, and so far, it's actually well written with interesting characters. And the story looks interesting too. I'm having fun playing this.
I really hope it continues like this.

Yeah, it is really more simple than the other two or three big college games. The girls aren't being influenced by your "alignment" but rather you accrue either intelligence or lust points based on your interactions with them. Which means if you fail to romance them you can still remain friends with them. There is one who will leave because of her own problems and one that you can make hate you briefly, but - for the most part - you can choose to have a pretty laid-back experience even if you don't want to be a walking erection looking for a home.

 

[Glooskabe]

Also MC and freaking Roxy???
It's one thing to act as Dom toward girl, but its totally another thing when you are complete imbecile and cant separate the sex and life. And in this case, leaving girl stranded in shackles and acting like epic superior moron even outside of sex. I wouldnt just kick in the balls such person, but castrate him all together.
Anyway , game is just not for me.

Orrr... You could make the intelligent, compassionate, sane choice to treat her like a person and not leave her tied up in which case she adores you and wants to make all of your (and her) kinky dreams come true. Seems that abandoning the game because you don't like the consequences of what is pretty obviously a bad choice is overreacting a bit.

Some people get off on being hateful and don't understand why that's "bad". I think the DSM-5 categorizes them as "sociopaths".

 

[camube]

Who is Emma and how can I meet her?

I just checked Extra and there's a locked scene for Emma, I don't think I ever meet Emma (or maybe I forgot about it or something)

I think I'm nearing the end of the playthrough. I'm at Nikki's drawing where the MC show his torso right now

THIS!!!! I'm not sure how you can moan about a crappy situation/CHOICE when the other option is literally a normal sane choice and is exactly what Roxy wants and loves! Some people just wanna moan about everything I guess

Dont be an asshole.
Option Rough doesn't involve psychopath. or you never had rough with women so u dont know.

 

[Glooskabe]

Dont be an asshole.
Option Rough doesn't involve psychopath. or you never had rough with women so u dont know.

That's not the point. The point is that that isn't what the girl in this scenario wants, and there are ample clues that she isn't thrilled about it when you have made rough choices in the past. (There are also ample hints, through his internal monolog, that choosing those options is making the MC act/think more "evil", for lack of a better word, as well.) If you chose to ignore those hints and continued to choose the rough option, that is entirely on you.

There is absolutely some implied judgment going on here, but it isn't about rough sex in general. It's about engaging in rough sex with someone who is clearly not completely and enthusiastically into it, even if she does not explicitly say "no".

This game is not meant to be an open-ended fantasy simulator. It's a dating sim. Many, if not all, of the girls have a "right" and a "wrong" way to approach them. That's what makes it a game. If you fail to come to Sara's rescue (whether it's your fault or not), she dumps you. If you insult Ashley, she dumps you. If you abandon Kim in the club to go to Sara's rescue, she dumps you. This scenario is Roxy's success/failure criteria. She wants to be dominated, but she also wants to be cherished and protected. Get the balance right, and she will rock your world. Get it wrong, and she is completely capable of wrecking you, or at least your balls.

You will forgive if i dont have the time to read your essay?
To cut things short.
There is a word for what mc was doing and it isnt Rough!
He is 18? What was he doing at 12? killing and molesting kittens?
Anyway i said enough. over and out

Well, it's pretty clear that reading is not your strong point if you didn't notice the numerous clues that treating Roxy roughly was a) not the best way to win her and b) resulting in more and more depraved, heartless thoughts/actions from the MC.

You don't like the game. Fine. Don't let the door hit you in the ass on your way out!

I don't have the heart to be rough to Roxy because she clearly does not want it but, i'm also curious, If the MC is rough with Roxy, then would the scene or dialogue changes from Roxy's end?

Not the MC internal monologue but from Roxy?

 

[znar25]

Thanks!!! 9.5e.

The Rachel path is very nice.

 

[camube]

There is the scene with the MC 'getting a good kick in his balls'. This is the end of Roxy's storyline there. It's so revealing. Roxy's disappointed, to put it mildly.

She says that she's not his bitch and slut. The MC had a good chance in the beginning. He had some potential. Sometimes she even thought she had a crush on him. But he just screwed up. The good guy she knew has changed for the worse lately. It pisses her off the MC treats her like a dirty whore, and she finds his approach to her disgusting and disrespectful. She kinda liked the foreplay like that, but it all went too far. As a result, she says she doesn't want to see him again.

Yeah Roxy as a character is written well. I like reading her arc.

Again with the rude.
You know, after a bit of thought i will actually put blame on dev.
Why? well , he introduced mc with shit load of stupid thoughts , which i mostly skipped and they consist of 60?% percent of the game.
So, after doing all that, he could have added yet another "thought" before the choice. Just to make it very clear how big of retard mc tends to be.

And for the record i am very meticulous when it comes to reading. And i tend to go very deep into everything when story is good. But some readings are shitty , like this one. So ofc you skip some.
Anyway , this game is done for me. Enjoy it.

Nikki should be one of the main girls and get way more focus, she has a more unique look and an interesting personality. Definitely way more memorable than Ashley, Sara, Yuki and Natalie.

Only Rachel is better imho (and Roxy is good too).

Can't wait to shoot porn with Lexi

________________________________________________________________
About the v1.0.0
After the general release of v0.9.5, I took a couple of days off and started working on the next update on June 12-13. This is what I managed to do in that time.
1) The following events are written:

• big main event with Lexi (the first part of casting call)
• event with Roxy
• event with Carol (+ a little bit of Abby in this scene)
• small event with Carol and Yuki (3 versions depending on MC's relationship with Carol)
• big event with Yuki (like a date, but in the style of Yuki's story)

In addition, two more events will be added to this list based on the results of

. I don't think I have time for anything else.
2) Renders and animations:
About 160 renders and 5 animations are ready
3) Other things:

• I optimized the game code a little bit
• I added the ability to get the name of the song playing with a special button. Now you don't have to use PVU Radio to find the song you like
• I made some minor changes to the dialogues from previous versions. More to come

I'm not sure of a release date for v1.0.0, but I have a feeling I'll be able to get the next update done by the end of July.
________________________________________________________________
Other important news
1) Monthly payments for active patrons will resume in July.
As many of you may remember, since March of this year I put Patreon's billing on pause (4 months in total). Initially, I planned to take a break for only one month for personal reasons, but it turned out that due to events in Eastern Europe, the pause in development was delayed for a much longer period than I had planned.
Now I'm almost back to the same pace of game development, but I'm still hesitant to release updates every month. At least for now.
This is largely because I'm not sure I can handle that kind of workload right off the bat after a long break. In addition, because of some health problems that I briefly mentioned

, I can't afford to work on the game all day like I used to (instead of 6 days for 9-10 hours every week before, now I work 6 days for 8 hours).
But... Since I'm really hoping to release v1.0.0 by the end of July, I've decided to resume billing. But I don't know yet how I'm going to set up my work after July (read more below), so I'll let you know about billing in August and the following months later.
2) Version 1.0.0 - is it ready to be called "UoP: Chapter 1" or something like that?
At the moment, the Basic version of the game has a size of about 4 GB. And that's quite a lot even considering that I use compression for images and music (otherwise the game would be about 8-10 GB or even more). That's why I'm thinking about splitting the game into several parts.
Besides that, uniting all the content that will be in v1.0.0 into a separate part would be a great solution to create a kind of milestone for UoP and start publishing it on Steam.
But for now, these are just my thoughts. This is quite a complicated and serious issue because it will take an enormous amount of work. Mostly because I want to redo the initial part of the game...
3) About the remake of the beginning part of UoP
No news so far. In the past two months, I've redone only a tiny part of content to write about it.
I still think I should redo the beginning of UoP with current updates' quality so that new players are interested in UoP and not horrified by those a little bit ugly renders and immediately delete it (I mean renders and animations before v0.2.5).
I'll also need to make new animations, rewrite some dialogues, redo the MC's diary a bit and much more... In short, there will be a lot of changes.
That's why I'm not sure yet about the structure of my work after July. Maybe I'll take 1-2 months to completely finish my work on all content up to v1.0.0 and only after that start working on the next updates of UoP. Or maybe I won't stop and keep going develop new updates in the same mode...
________________________________________________________________
That's all the news for now.
Stay well and safe, guys.

Is it possible to gain a harem option for all girls or just certain girls? I like all of 'em but don't wanna ignore or friendzone em either.

I know you have the option to fool around with most of the girls, both love interests and side girls but in the end will MC be forced to choose a single lover at the end?

Also won't their be consequences along the way if you focus on all love interests? but they found out your with another LI?

Don't get me wrong I love this game, I don't want MC and his LI's get their hearts broken so I can focus on a single or multiple paths for each girls.

 

[Crusader of Romance]

I've been playing this game a lot lately. I find it really good unless you do a one-girl playthrough. Because after a while the friendship scenes stop so you start skipping days between scenes with your LI and scenes with Vlad, and that's really unfortunate. I really liked the friendships you started to build in the beginning but once you make the final decision to go the friendship route, scenes with that character stop coming. You just get black screens with a text about that you hung out with friends. Maybe the Dev didn't expect that some would want to be faithful to one girl or maybe he just didn't have time to ad friendship scenes. I'm hoping it will get better on that front.

I also wish that save pages after 12 was numbered, like in BaD and CK.

I'm still going to continue playing.
