VN Ren'Py Waifu Academy [v0.12.5] [Irphaeus]

[Wafflewaffuru]

I know it's in vogue to bitch and moan tirelessly about devs, their choices, and update cycles on this site, but the 6000+ lines of Day 26 alone accounts for 14% of the entire game's script. It has over 40 menus with 90+ individual choices and an innumerable number of different ways to navigate them. Writing and coding that isn't trivial.

I'm gonna have to stop you right there chief.
those 90+ choices, aren't choices.
They were added additionally to make it seem like the update was bigger than it was, but a good 98% of them are absolutely worthless. You get to either fuck Yoko, leave Yoko, watch people gangbang Yoko or game over. EVERYTHING leading up to that point added literally nothing to the story. The sexy smell, the spicy smell, all that was just bullshit. Following that guys directions, also bullshit. It was a good 4500 words that weren't necessary.

I don’t understand something, there are solutions in the game that cannot be chosen (for example, when meeting with different bandits in the subway). And either they are not completed or are available only to patreon subscribers. So I would like to clarify this question, is this content in general and is it supposedly paid or is it not at all?

 

[Agitrek21]

I didn't know it finally updated since the thread was temporarily locked. Is there a save file thwt continues where we left off?

Those options simply don't exist, they were meant to be the different karma routes, but at this point you can basically write them off as dead ends.

 

[revy2hands]

This game actually has a good story and humor. Unlike most games like this.

And either they are not completed or are available only to patreon subscribers. So I would like to clarify this question, is this content in general and is it supposedly paid or is it not at all?

Um this is what we actually ask you in the game, the answer is that the sentence is not included in the game
for such things. or something like that in future update,
he's not ready yet, or should we, he says he's going steadily forward. which after processing we nice for him
In games where there is extra content for patreon it is also said exactly with a link for usually that is that as far as I say the artist here does not do that. In fact, it is easy to make certain elements only later when the face reaches a certain level. But that's just a guess of mine

 

[Twelvemonkey]

Do we get to bang Makoto yet?

Don't worry, I was this guy's patreon and I can 100% assure you nothing is available to us as much as those who don't pay. Many choices aren't complete and I really did find it disappointing when I couldn't befriend the bandits on the train. Befriending them would mean changing the plot of the story which means a lot of work hence Irphs didn't implement it I assume.

Don't expect those incomplete choices to be finished anytime soon, I am sure you are aware of dev's reputation from the countless complaints and criticisms in this thread.

 

[Nehtai]

Nope and neither that slut, but don't worry, you will get to bang both of them when Trump becomes president again

In 2024? Damn ... this is a long time.

 

[Deleted member 2842696]

In 2024? Damn ... this is a long time.

The joke is that Trump may get re-elected in 4 years, 8 years, 40 years (if he is even alive by then) or never. Just like with this game which may have those sex scenes in 4 years, 8 years, 40 years or never. Both of which lean more towards the last option.

My opinion of the latest update after playing it:

TL;DR: I've seen bugfixes enable more and way better content than this so called "updates" brings to this game.

Technical elements: 1/5

• The smartphone remains accessible as well as 100% non-functional. It's there only to remind the player at all times that the dev doesn't care in the slightest about the design and functional features he once intended to give the game. And unlike the karma system, the smartphone would require an afternoon of work at most.
• The karma system is still not implemented, and it will never be. However, the karma points are still falsely awarded. The choices sometimes have impact to some degree in the same scene or the immediately following at most. But the karma points themselves do not.
• For the specific new content though, it just happens that in order to take the bad karma route with Yoko, you need to have taken the good karma route with Keiko, which is kind of... inconsistent.
• Lots of fake branching and unavailable options that are shown anyway, which mean the tiny update wasn't even finished or it was done precisely to create the illusion of content.
• Backwards incompatibility. This is a very problematic issue. I got "lucky" and had my latest saves halfway the last scene of the previous update so, they loaded fine. But many other saves at random previous points are now broken.
• Ending the updates with many advertisement stages at the end, that will be removed in the next version, dedicated just to lure patreons and create hype but never advising the player to save for the last time at a specific truly safe spot is something terrible that makes so many people not wanting to play anymore. Especially since, for some reason, with each update, renders are renamed in a way that the skip already seen content doesn't work and players have to either click through the whole game again or skip it without knowing if the reason the game doesn't consider it already seen content is because there could be something new inbetween. PSA: I clicked through the whole game for last update, there was nothing new other than the new ending content.
• Lots and lots and lots of bad grammar even when not "intended", unfinished sentences, sentences victim to being rewritten many times without much care. So much for the amount of delay that was being justified as proofreading. No one proofread last update and no one proofread this update.
• Other than this, the game still has the same style using minimal and most basic of ren'py options with no customization other than the main menu screen. This is not good or bad, just how it is.

CGI elements: 1/5

• The visuals are the same as always, for good or bad depending on personal taste. However...
• The amount of plot-related and/or character interaction renders is very tiny and in general not much appealing regarding their narrative usage nor the eroticism of the game.
• Keiko's sex scene (or the whole scene to be fair) is one of the poorest and less cared for scenes in the entire game.
• Caramella looks nothing like Yoko, to the point I doubt he's using the same overall model for both.
• Also, personally, I would have liked to see more Yoko and less Caramella, since it's Yoko the one we've seen the whole time she messed with MC and in all the relevant interaction between them that led to these events. So, "taking revenge" without actually seeing Yoko for the most part it's quite unfulfilling for me.
• Yoko's sex scenes are richer than many others in the game. So that's a plus, at least for the visuals.
• So few characters appear in the new content. And most of them so briefly. 80% of the renders are about MC alone or with new NPCs that have no relevance and will never again make an appearance.
• Black screen scenes. This is a big minus for me. Game overs used to have some visuals (like police taking you, for example) now there's only a black screen with text. And in this update it's not just the game over part, the whole scene that leads to a game over happens in a black screen. That's not a visual novel anymore. Just a regular novel. Pure laziness on dev's part.

Plot elements: 1/5

• As some other users pointed out, there are lots of other porn games out there with better visuals in every aspect, better sex scenes, better girl's designs, technically superior... The thing that made this game unique and captivating for many was the story and the MC's personality. The story for having mysteries, being about something else than just sex and having so many plot lines, almost one for every secondary character. And the MC for having a goal other than sex to the point no other porn game gets, prioritizing the goal over sex; and also for being put in difficult situations and being able to solve them most times in a classy way and if not at least in an original way, always outsmarting the antagonists. Well, no trace of this can be found in this update.
• MC no longer outsmarts anyone, he's been blessed with a plot device that solves all his problems for him in the form of a liquid drug.
• Before, the drug was just a way to justify some characters getting sufficiently horny to bypass the surrealism of some sex scenes. It was needed for the sake of having those sex scenes, and didn't impact the story progression much. But now, the drug justifies absolutely anything and without consequences. A great decrease in writing quality.
• Because it's been more than a year since the events that put Yoko as top priority target, I don't remember perfectly, but aside from being mean to MC and having some leverage to play blackmail with him a bit, I don't remember anything that justifies MC wanting to do his worst to her in a so vulgar and totoally uncarismathic way, that even breaks the character because it's never been MC's way of doing things.
• 90% of the actual content of this update consists of getting from a trains station to Yoko's house, encountering a lot of irrelevant events unrelated to the story that apparently are meant to be funny. None of them is. At all.
• The story progression is very minimal, and that's being generous.
• Keiko's character gets some development. Very little, but it's something.
• Yoko, as a character, doesn't appear in this update. All there is is Caramella, who seems to have a completely different personality and way of talking even when she's not broadcasting (which doesn't make any sense), and druged Caramella, who isn't even a character is a sexdoll that gets dialogue boxes full of not a single actual sentence.
• Kayane gets a very very tiny bit of development, so small that I don't even know if it should count.
• MC's personality is replaced by the miraculous drug, so the main character has just gone down the drain.
• The point of the revenge the MC had to take onto Yoko was to demonstrate who is in power, put her in her place, and maybe rejoice in her feeling overpowered and losing to MC. But the MC drugs Yoko without her knowing who is he and rapes her while she's not much of a person, none of that is achieved. MC just puts himself at the same level of Kenichi paying the other guy to beat him.

And that's it. the summary of the most important aspects of this update would be:

1. Magical drug just solves all situations, MC doesn't need to have a brain anymore.
2. 90% of the content is a pointless maze where no girl appears and no meaningful interaction happens.
3. Lots of fake branching and fake (ineligible) choices to create the illusion of content.
4. Hazardous text in 80% of text boxes.
5. Broken saves games and other game breakign events.

Ngl I thought he would put in a bit more effort in this update despite rushing it but it really does look like he made this update like 3 days before the deadline, you know kind of like when you have homework tomorrow and you rush it the night before. I play this game mainly for the plot and MC's personality like you said but hearing the plot and MC's personality just go down the drain really goes to show the dev has given up on this game and instead decided to become a full time scammer. Perfect case study of a dev that has turned from great to greedy.

I will go through the update myself to see if it's really that bad but honestly my surprise level will be like 0 if I really do get disappointed.
Well hopefully one day this game really does get finished in the spectacular fame that it deserves, be it by Irphs or someone else. Heck if I knew enough about creating visual novels and the models of this game, I can finish it myself.
