Ren'Py What a Legend! [v0.7.03] [MagicNuts]

wanting to divorce her

I don't think he "wants" to divorce her. If he can marry Holly, yeah, sure, but if not...

Waldo strikes me as the old fashioned man-of-the-house. You know, the provider who can't even find his pants without his wife and couldn't cook a meal if his life depended on it. The type who takes his wife for granted by calling her "the old ball and chain" and won't appreciate her until she's gone.

Remember that scene where Gretta falls into the river and the MC saves her? He would have preferred it if she had drowned. That speaks to a level of hatred far deeper than simply resenting her as the "old ball and chain."

Now, do I think there's a good backstory behind this that'll be revealed? No, Waldo is a 2-dimensional antagonist who's an asshole for no reason except to be an asshole. (And I'm not really complaining about that: It's honestly refreshing to have this kind of unambiguous villain in a story since the trend nowadays is to write "He only does genocide because he's traumatized uwu" antagonists instead.) But as I've said before, a big part of the appeal of netori arcs is hurting a rival that you hate by taking his waifu away, and that's only as effective as he actually cares about and desires her. We're not so much cucking him as we are dealing with a problem (from his POV, anyway) for him.

I'm personally most interested in a Gretta update. Can't wait to cuck Waldo.

I agree but Waldo hating her and wanting to divorce her for seemingly no reason except that he wants to upgrade to a newer model kinda takes a bit of the bite out of cucking him with her. Personally, I'm interested in Gretta the most (out of the girls we've currently met) because MILFs are greater than life itself.

Also, mommykink. Gretta's probably our only shot at that considering this isn't an incest simulator.

Personally speaking, that never was the focus / an issue for me, as I never was interest in Gretta for the Netori aspect or to get back at Waldo or anything else really to do with him.

I'm invested in Gretta for Gretta herself and no one else, I don't care if Waldo cares about it or not, I only care about what Gretta cares about. xD
Don't get me wrong though, Waldo is the scum of the Earth and will probably end up rotting in hell for what he does. But as soon as he gets dealt with for good, I would honestly prefer to not give him the satisfaction of thinking that he's somehow important enough to warrant any more of my attention or time gloating about "beating him" or anything of the sort, as he's really not even worth that, in my opinion.

And let's be real guys, c'mon, Gretta is a hot as heck MILF and just like the sweetest lady in the game that I've seen yet. Who is the guy who wouldn't count himself lucky to have such a Goddess beside him? She's a keeper in my book.

Hi everybody.

We're currently running the poll determining the content of the 0.7 update, and so if you're a

tier patron and haven't voted yet, you still have about 4 days to do that.
Who's winning so far? It is still a bit early to declare a winner, and I know that many patrons haven't voted yet, but it seems like all those who voted for Gomira last time --when she lost to Rose by one vote-- haven't changed their mind about her since as of right now, Gomira is ahead by thirtyish points, followed by the Main Story (Madeline), Gretta, and Holly.

Now the report:
Chestnut:
Chestnut initially planned to work on both sprites and cutscenes, but since my editing job took a bit longer than I had anticipated, she spent most of her time on cutscenes (one of the artworks shared

). She also helped me with the editing and read through everything, suggesting changes and improvements.

Pistachio:
I read, edited, debugged, wrote, and modified the text to make it feel good to play and make sure it's enjoyable as a story. I'm still not done with the editing (although the debugging of the new issues is done), but I wanted to start posing, and that is what I did yesterday and have been doing today. This way, I can pose new scenes from Rose's first quest while editing the second quest's text (a continuous process).

Next week's plan:
Chestnut will need to design the first batch of sprite additions I have given her and continue her work on the cutscenes.
By the next report, I want to have finished the editing, be happy enough with the text to go full-posing, and possibly add the hints to make my life easier working on the game.

That's all, folks.
Have a wonderful weekend.
Cheers

gretta "Is it true that you want to get rid of me and marry a young girl?"
gretta "Who'll pay your debts, then?"

Pretty clear all Waldo cares about with Gretta is her money. He won't suffer any kind of heartbreak if she leaves him, just a lot of economic anxiety (and probably some wounded ego). Story-wise, pulling her away from him will have less to do with him getting his comeuppance as it will have to do with her getting the happiness she deserves. I imagine when Waldo does get what he's got coming to him, the last we'll see of him is him getting interrupted mid-threat by mob enforcers coming to collect the money he owes them.

Waldo's heavily implied to be kicked out of the city and living in the woods by the end of the 0.5 main story, so...

No, he was only ordered to spent one night in the forest, with Hammerdick hoping he would be dead by the morning. But he comes back and the MC can actually ask him about that night when he's at the gate during his duty

Can't wait for more Gretta content.. Milfs

 

[nitram5]

I vote on Gretta

 

[sucklepuck]

See, I want Gomira because she's a hot muscle girl that loves cock, but I want Gretta because she's a hot MILF and I want to fuck over Waldo's boated bitchass. I can't actually vote because I'm not a patron, but still.

 

[hrimthyrs]

3 days left on that poll and it's Gomira - 74, Gretta and Holly tied at 40 each. The option I voted for might actually win for once!

 

[hellokomola]

I just wanted to say to the developer, this is one of the best such game ever! I have started playing it and I am already a huge fan. The artwork, storyline, sound effects everything is just perfect!

 

[alphadady2]

Best game ever

Really hoping we get more Gretta content, would love to stick it to Waldo with that ass

And here I thought my desire to see Gomira peg the MC would be controversial! But sure, Waldo route, let's do it.

(I'll be honest, I'm not even really into pegging, I just think it's a great thing to write erotica about because straight men are usually scared out of their minds of it. Not because they're afraid of the pain of penetration, which really isn't that bad unless the strap she's using is ridiculously oversized or has spikes or something, but because they're terrified that they'll enjoy it and this will rob them of their maleness. This means any pegging scene, especially a first-time experience, is going to be fraught with vulnerability and that's what good character work is made of.)

Lol I just meant getting back at Waldo by fking his wife, not pegging haha!

man everytime mc mentions sex or his sex is revealed and the female character of any arc lip bites while looking down always cracks me up. here I am trying to look serious and not bring attention to me and the ladies do THAT look

Honestly, I find those lip bites of the female characters just as hot as the sex scenes themselves.

 

[Viressa]

I agree the lip bites are hot, but is anyone else a bit annoyed by this game's unironic indulgence in the, "All women are size queens" trope? In my experience unless you have a specific kink for huge penetrations, once you have something big enough to hit the back, any additional size past that is just pure discomfort. Plus, men who have big dicks are the worst, because they tend to think their size alone is all they need to bring to the table and are completely selfish lovers. (Though tbf men with small dicks are also terrible, because they tend to have massive insecurity issues and take them out on you.)

But of course, he has a giant dick for the reason all* male porntagonists have giant dicks: His design isn't meant to appeal to me, it's meant to appeal to cis men who play this game and self-insert as the harem master with the huge peepee. So it's not really a sin specific to this game as it is a broader pattern within WEGs this game does nothing to subvert.

*Except the occasional shota protagonist game where he has a realistic prepubescent dick which... no, get that shit out of here.
