VN Ren'Py Viral Rivalz [v0.4.1] [ViralRivalz]

[OWSam000]

It is always inevitable that players will always argue about the vanilla/romance/love and NTR/NTS path content balance/progression on love interests/story in every so-called NTR/NTS optional/avoidable game or games which has both harem and NTR/NTS theme game. The argument can start from dialogue/story tune/character clothing to sex scene progression/quality etc.
The harem/vanilla romance mixed with NTR/NTS element will always be harmful to the personality/character setting/development of the love interests and even the mc and the villain. It is hard to maintain character setting/attractiveness/consistency when you are developing two/three different and conflicting paths.
It doesn't really matter if which path has more scene for the players because the main point is the progression always seem to be imbalanced based on players' perspective about the game is a optional NTS/NTR story or a optional vanilla/romance story.
It is very difficult to have a middle ground. For a popular mixed-genre game, they are very rare and the argument never stops.

In the vanilla path, you got
- 2 sex scenes with dakota
- flirting with ariana, cassie, kylie
- blowjob scene with ariana
Like stop the cap bruh. I can complain all day but it"ll ruin this game & create more headache for the dev. You vanilla fans should be enjoying this game when you're getting more content

The point is not who gets more content. This is about quality of the scenes. There is another game with this issue, where sure the vanilla path in that game gets more, but the quality of the scenes, the animations, the render count, etc. Is given more to the NTR/NTS side in that game, so our vanilla path gets treated like less, which is how I feel about this update as well.

The Cassie scene and how its balanced between the literal MC(us) and Enzo isn't that great, which is what that orginal poster is commenting on, not who got more and I ses his point. Its not who got more scenes, or whatever, we wanted a better scene, better progression with Cassie as opposed to what Enzo got which is the issue.

Enzo got better treatment for the Cassie scene, where we got a weird interactive minigame where nothing really happens, which sucks.
And honestly if we look at the Dakota scene in this update, it is the exact same scene with some minor dialogue changes, so didn't fully feel Vanilla either, just a copy paste of the NTS scene for us, plays out the same pretry much, so that feels bad too and I am letdown. Both scenes in this update are kind of a letdown and wish they were better and changed.

You can't just look at how many scenes each route gets and be like just be happy, No, we want true balance and quality of scenes to be even.
It is about the quality, the length, how far we go with the girl, etc.
Which in this case with how some scenes played out in this update like the two mentioned above, it is a major letdown.

So I really hope the dev improves in this aspect going forward, cause after this update I am feeling a little more anxious and worried about the future of this game for me where I enjoyed it so much till now.

You guys are fixated on a single scene lmao. So like that whole Ariana update wasn't enough to satisfy you folks? It had everything that you're complaining about the cassie scene with MC. And it had nothing for ntr fans. If you guys just wait for a few more updates, you'll all get what you want. So be patient & enjoy this game

It was more than just that one scene. It was the Dakota scene too. The Dakota scene was just a NTS scene disguised as a vanilla scene. She watches Enzo on the screen regardless, it is a bit weird in my opinion.
All that changed was the dialogue. There should of been different animations for that scene too and played out differently. Mayhe close laptop and turn her around or maybe take to other part of room.

So its more than just ONE scene you are saying, it is both scenes, it is this whole update that is a letdown, and it can quickly become a pattern and derail the whole path, and become like so many other games.

I think there needs to better attention and scenes, better balance and different scenes for the Vanilla path and not just a reskin of the NTS/NTR path like Dakota scene or just getting treated worse like Cassie path.

i agree with you on the dakota vanilla scene. But everything else is still favorable to vanilla fans. And you're forgetting that this is a monthly release game (having multiple paths). Yes it can be done better but with a monthly deadline, it's quite harder to polish your stuff. If dev sticks to vanilla & ntr alternate updates, it"ll piss off a lot of fans. Or better join his patreon & help him with this game

 

[MrDude1977]

Would you rather be the one on screen getting looked at or the one doing the fucking?

I'd rather a girl I'm F*cking not looking at another guy while i'm banging her.

hot take - harem mixed with vanilla/romance is just as harmful to the personality/character setting development of a game as ntr stuff is. TBH id prefer all that stuff absent if we're talking real romance based paths and choosing.

I'd rather a girl I'm F*cking not looking at another guy while i'm banging her.

who cares, you're still doing the plowing the proverbial head cheerleader can wistfully look at her bf's picture all she wants, as long as my mc is the one up in her

A sign of a well-balanced game is when both Vanilla and NTR fans insist that I provide more to the other side.

That said, sexual scenes are not worms that I feed into the open mouths of squawking baby birds, one after another.

Sexual scenes during each update are determined by the story and where the inter-character relationships are. I reserve the right to put characters through a 'dry spell' if the story calls for it. I also reserve the right to put characters through a 'fuck frenzy' if the story calls for it.

Consider this approach outside the context of NTR/Vanilla: in the next update v0.5 we'll see a split into purity and temptation paths. Those who take the purity path will see more sexual content than those on the temptation path. Those who like the temptation path will complain about having less content during the update. Then v0.6 will occur, and the opposite will occur: those on the purity path will say their path has been neglected. It gets more complicated when you try to assess the compare the 'quality' or 'hotness' of the scenes on each path, because that's subjective to each player.

Even if you don't care for the plot, and you're just here for the sexual scenes, the story context of those sexual scenes is what makes the scenes themselves extra spicy. So to preserve the enjoyment of both the overall story and each sex scene, I will not be forcing a balance during each update, but a balance in the overall game.

As for the laptop, I'll consider changing it to something everyone can enjoy:

 

[mandok]

actually you are wrong, that scene triggers if you are dating Dakota and has 2 variables NTR and vanilla.

The condition :
View attachment 5600033
variables for 2 diffrent scenes :
View attachment 5599987

My point is that the vanilla version of that scene is also hints for NTR as Dakota stares at that guy's picture while having sex with the MC.

Let me try the 0.41 version, I played the game again and that scene didn't trigger in version 0.4 in vanilla route (in fact I wanted to see a scene with Dakota but I didn't obtain it in my gameplay)

Yeah, scenes quality may be subjective, I have just seen this so much before and can already feel it possibly going this way where one route gets more/better content. You are saying whole game balance, I hope so, but can't help to start to feel just a bit skeptical after this update(Dakota scene copy paste for Vanilla path/Cassie interactive game scene underwhelming), but hope to be proven wrong.

As for the Dakota scene, I was excited to read you were considering change, to see the image and realize it was just a joke from you.
Shame that our supposed "Vanilla" scene is not really that and just a NTS scene with dialogue changes will stay the same after all, no changes. Just sucks, and this is why I am skeptical.

$ 5 or $ 10 is that all you can afford? or is it the most money you had in the bank ?
its okay gave me your PayPal, I can support you lil man..

 

[DressedToThrill]

When this is the case, the renders and animations look absurd.

Agreed. Sometimes the apparent filler or injections they have make them look like they're wearing diapers, or their faces stung by bees. But I can still work with it, if there's a good setup to the whatever scene these lumpy people are engaged in. But it's funny to see a character who has an ample posterior when standing , but when she's kneeling or squatting her butt turns into the shape of two bars of soap pressed together. You can stick your entire head between those cheeks and not even be close to the anus, it's so monstrously warped.

And are you an influencer or something? I saw you were accused of farming clout. Or is it an agricultural thing?

Nah. It's just that some people have an inferiority complex. That's why they become aggressive. Although this is a game, its extreme departure from rationality and the fact that the characters, while claiming to be human, lack human characteristics bothers me visually. Otherwise, I have no problem with anyone's choices.

As someone else said, it's about independent character progression, not scene length. Cassie has a stronger relationship to the MC, has spent years with him, but Enzo spends like an hour groping her and hassling her and she decides to give him what he wants. It doesn't feel like the same character, and the dev is going to keep having this issue because Enzo is a nothing character. You can't both try to write meaningful interactions and develop the L.I.s on the vanilla route, while also having them immediately fall for Enzo on the NTR route. It's not about NTR, it's about writing.

Me personally, I don't really care about NTS/NTR so long as it's optional and fits. For example, Kylie having sex with her boyfriend at the start not only makes sense, but tells us something about their relationship (that he's a dullard and selfish, mainly). Meanwhile, Cassie's scene is a complete 180 form what we know of the character: even with the 0.4.1 explanation of "she challenges someone's strength to ensure they can make her feel safe", we've also seen she holds a grudge, and it makes no sense why she'd immediately fall for Enzo in the matter of like 15 minutes in-game lmao. Not only that, it undermines how she's written on the vanilla path, because they're meant to be the SAME person. Would be more believable with Kylie or Arianna tbh.

Unless the classic explanation is a two/three different reality for different paths in game, or the characters are all having multiple personality disorder.
