VN - Ren'Py - Violation Nation [Ep.8] [Wet Avocado Games]

Review Ep 3:

The game is still in pretty early stages, but there is already quite a bit of content, so I think I can see where it's headed.

The premise of the game is a free-for-all battle royale, like the Hunger Games, but without the Sci-Fi part. The story takes place in the near future, without high tech gadgets (so far).

The MC is an ex-military middle aged man who, after leaving the army, had a very successful business career, ending up in the management board of a huge corporation. But his career came at the cost of his family and at the start of the game he hasn't seen his daughter and ex-wife for years.

The game itself consists of making moral choices, either of a sexual or violent nature. At this time you can be either nice or perverted towards female participants and either merciful or merciless towards threatening males. Your boss, who is responsible for your participation in this "game" is watching you through various camera's. For some reason unknown to the player, the boss thinks the MC is a horrible person. Making immoral choices reinforce his beliefs, making moral choices make him doubt his beliefs. He doesn't really like doubt. What this means is not clear yet. It makes sense if your choices influence your further stay in Violation Nation.

All in all, I like the story. It's interesting and it's well presented. There are some language / spelling mistakes but it didn't bother me much.

The renders and characters are attractive.

All in all definitely something that I will follow!

Good game, I like the different paths you can take and I see a lot of potential in it. I hope they don't abandon it. There are very few games of this style that are as good.

I look forward to the update to play the new chapter, I hope I can continue maintaining this line of moral choices and be able to choose between being evil or not.

The game is fun as it currently doesn't punish you for doing whatever you want. The peanut gallery is fucking annoying though and the dev obviously plans to add the daughter and ex to the game which is rather cliche and predictable.

I would rather prefer we could tweak the character origins a bit to prevent that bit of cliche incest stupidity if we wanted to.

Otherwise fairly serviceable and fun for it's short length.

If it helps the devs, my preferred playstyle is capture/recruit all females and kill all males. Which I think should be rather common.

Pretty alright for what it is at time of writing. Characters don't look weird or anything, and the sex scenes are well rendered.

That being said, it's very short, (don't bother downloading the incest patch) and taking the nice choices leads you to miss the majority of sexual content. I hope taking the "good route" in later versions does not lead to no sex at all.

Also, the Protag has a little too much pre-built badassery in my opinion.

The renders are nice and the setting/premise is also good, however the actual story and characters are very weak... The story is kinda predictable, mostly boring and sometimes dumb... Similarly the characters themselves don't have much of a personality worth noting... The MC tries way too hard to look cool and smart and therefore it seems like he's desperate for attention...

Ep2

Interesting premise. First off: It has little content right now.
By that I mean potentially 3 sex scenes, and 2 days of the premise in effect, which is about half the total content.

Tldr you should wait. It isn't satisfying yet.

That said, I did enjoy it. The only thing I didn't care for was the animations had a slight jankiness to them. The motions were too unnatural looking.
Otherwise it was good. Just not nearly enough content yet.

I will come back when it has more content for sure.

This game ahas a uniqe premis that i truly look forward to seeing the dev develop.
Pretty good quaulity renders. diologe is okay needs form a better connecton.
Oh and a devs asking for support i kind essental to these games existing so dont let certain people make you thing that your somehow in the wrong

good luck ab good work

Decent game , I really like the custom Ui so that's a plus for me always in renpy games.

I'm giving the review as a developer and for that i feel the game has great renders but lacks some form of execution in story , I believe some dialogues need more renders than just one plate.

Though that is a personal opinion of mine so yeah , anyway good luck for the future dev and hope to see updates on it soon.

I hesitate to even give this a rating yet, but I can't in good conscience leave it rated as a 5 as currently implemented.

what the game has:

• decent renders
• a brief introductory scenario
• about 8 to 10 minutes of kinetic novel
• a request for financial support in the OP

what it doesn't have:

• choices (it's not a VN)
• sexual content
• the vast majority of its listed tags implemented

if the request for money hadn't been there, I'd probably have rated it a 3. it's got potential... I think... there's just nothing in it yet. more of a demo than a first release.

as it is though, there's not enough content to rate it any higher. most of the tags aren't in the game yet.

Great Start!
The scenariois cool, fun and let to believe a lot of freedom. Would even make a great Open World actualy... There is no toher game of the sort that I know of...
The graphics are Good enough and I hope there will be enough choices further on to feel like we are in control.
I recommend!
