VN Ren'Py Unleashed [v0.6.5b] [CarbonBlue]

[xenophinex]

You can expect character development. That's it. Slice of life means this game is about character development and progression. That's what this VN is about. If you need more, if you need your pornographic visual novels to be about, "lockdowns, government overreach, restriction of rights, ufos" or whatever else, then you are not the target audience and you should go find one of those.

This is not me lying or exaggerating. I am being completely open and honest with you here: this game is about characters and your relationship with them and that's all it will ever be. Even when the big reveal happens, it's just going to be about the characters but in a bit more unique way.

If you need a villain or a murder mystery or a farm boy growing up to save the world story, you're not going to get it from Unleashed and you should move on.

Also, "the game has good writing but it doesn't live up to the promise that it never made, 1-star" is the most F95 review ever, lol.

Pretty sure my review was spot on... in case you suddenly unlearned how to read let me quote it in full for you.
*Ahem*
"
I waited 4 years to review this, the time has come.
The writing is witty and intuitive which will undoubtably bring people into this vn thinking something may eventually happen.
I can assure you nothing ever will happen in this "slice of life" vn. It has no narrative, no plot, no direction or identity.
What is presented as a possible supernatural tale is quickly sidelined into sterotypical oops woman i don't know saw something they shouldn't.
I'm really let down by the fact he didn't keep the supernatural vibe going. That is what made this stand out to begin with. And now.......... now its just some dude living with a few beauties that all want his dick. About as standard as it gets for f95.
I really waited till the "big update" to post this, till I realised it was never going to happen, and that the apparent writing direction was one that would never be completed nor could it ever be.
The writing has diminished since the first update going from something that had all of our attention to something we periododically check every year or so for updates. To be clear in 4 years the story hasn't advanced at all nor do I think it ever will. In the 4 years of updates we had covid lockdowns, government overreach, restriction of rights, ufos, and plethora of others. Yet in this game the only thing that has happened thus far is angel coming home from a strip club and everyone watching movies together? Like how have you not been inspired dude? Real life seems more interesting than whatever this is. And that is a shame, because it could have been so much more.

That is what I typed. You deserve every bit of it.

You don't like the game - that's fine, but repeating your review does nothing but reinforce that you simply don't understand what slice of life means.

You gave a 1-star review because "nothing happens" in a game that literally said that nothing would happen in the first words of the description. It's like complaining that there's chocolate in a Snickers candy bar.

Sorry, but your behaviour is sus as fuck. You wheren't active here for 4 years (no posts/no likings, nothing). But suddenly felt the urge to do a 1star review. And also repeat that in this thread now again and again. Looks more like a fake account for me created only to discredit the game/game dev. (oc your account is hidden...)
And ignored from now on.

Edit: oh, a facepalm from the weird Fap2766 dude...

Edit2: and another facepalm from the cowardly genthrow who's hiding his account...

I know people who complain about the fact the motorcross bikes aren't real racing bikes, because they aren't designed for the tarmacked track…

Wow, denial isn't just a river in Egypt. You must have that tin-foil hat firmly super glued to your skull. How does me posting my first review correlate with your theory that I was some "bot" that stayed "dormant" until my "handlers" activated me and had me write a pre-typed response.
My profile is hidden because this is a pirate site, yours should probably be hidden as well.
I am not a bot. I am a human, I realize criticizing this particular creator usually results in this type of reaction from his rabid, vapid fanbase.
Not everything is a conspiracy if it doesn't match with what you currently think. We aren't a hive mind that all reach consensus of thought instantaneously the second new information is absorbed.

 

[Idontplay]

I'm pretty sure I have already confuted some points of that review and the other points are confuted by developer notes in the opening post.

 

[Fap2766]

I would just ignore that dev stooge J.R. Everyone else does.

 

[CarbonBlue]

This is provably false if you actually look through the thread. Hell, I got moderators that go apeshit for bitching about me. And it's moronic to call my supporters "vapid" when you're the one whining that a game that told you it has no story has no story. Instead of insulting my supporters perhaps you should go find a pornographic VN about covid lockdowns and government overreach like you asked for in your review. I'm sure those'll be a blast.

While I love the game and the girls, honestly, I can not fault Xenophinex on his point regarding the story.

I'm afraid he's quite correct, that in four years, the story side of it, hasn't really been moving much.

That set aside, he should not be demonized for his views, especially since he's not entirely wrong (sorry, but I really can't disagree with him on some points there.)

 

[CarbonBlue]

There is no story side of it. That which does not exist can't move - I don't think.

"Next update will actually be in like a week or two." Carbon must be using the planet Mercury as his reference of time. Each day is 5,832 hours.

Looks like my prediction of history repeating itself is coming true. Check back in 7 months for the next 400 renders of Ol Huge Johnson, Ol Long Johnsons father. Follow him around at his job as the manager of the local McDonalds. Maeve will make a brief appearance to get her big mac.

Pretty much, he is striving to make a random comic strip that appears in the back page of the paper once every year.
His iteration of calvin an hobbs is a little slow on the pace though.
Calling this a "VN" is not appropriate.
As the author himself stated the... "thing" has no story, no plot, no goal, no ambition, no drive, no nada. "its slice of life" therefor he can produce complete and total bullshit and get away with it.

 

[Idontplay]

Then don't waste your (and our) time with this thread.

Then why are you here? Why are you frustrating yourself with the game? Maybe you should try knitting or even quilting with the grannies from church. I'm sure it'll be much more satisfying for you.

Any new arts with Shannon?

 

[CarbonBlue]

Couple pics of Shannon in a wet bikini went up on the Patreon tonight. One will be on my Twitter in the next day or two. The other is for the $$$ supporters.

I’m confused, is the game over now or ending just means v0.6b2
