VN Ren'Py Completed Wicked Choices: Book One [Remastered v1.0.1] [ASLPro3D]

[Palanto]

I really liked the game. The initial premise was fantastic and the renders were well done with varying H scenes too (Which I thought was unique and really liked as there are various ways to approach a sex scene).
It seemed really realistic but what ruins the realism is that the characters often break the fourth wall between scenes. It was okay the first time but seemed unnecessary and annoying as it done on a frequent basis. The dev even inserted himself in the game.
The problem this creates is that you don't feel immersed in the game's universe but you know you're at home, playing a fictional porn game on your pc. I understand he wants to promote his Patreon page and thank the few high paying patrons but it shouldn't come at the expense of the game's enjoyment.

Thanks for the review @dickon. But actually that should be a pretty old version since the latest only has one single credit scene at the end of the game.... Besides, it's an in dev game, so we actually considered leaving the thank you notes for each chapter until the game is done and then just add all the stuff in a credits gallery kind of way instead of at the end of the chapters/game. But after we got some more complaints like yours we removed all that and just left the most recent credits at the end of the version.

How about adding a credits option to the main menu where you can watch the previous scenes?

That's kinda what I had in mind for when book 1 is finished, but we'll see it's still a bit of time left to work on that part

 

[ASLPro3D]

Yeah it's fine I really enjoyed it, and I might actually go for a swing at your Patreon if you keep it up. And with regards to the 3rd person narrative, it's ok and adds more depth to the characters.

EDIT: Also there seems to be an issue at the start of Chapter 2. Where I named my character differently but it changed back to Mike at the start. :O

Yeah, there was a change at that point that it reverted to default, but I thought that @Palanto had fixed that.

Yeah, sadly you can see the level of editing that my $2,000.00 paid for... strange how I paid for an editor for the novel and for my game I get better editing for free... *sigh*

I know with my next novel, I am going to find me a better editor... glad that you enjoyed the story! I can't believe you already read 470 pages in just a couple of days!! I can see I am going to have to write a whole lot more if I am going to keep you busy, in the future!

Yeah, was kind of confused, as I thought we had removed that stuff...

We were thinking of that... and there is a part of me that wants to do a "MARVEL" style ending for the entire game.

So make sure all of the credits are stripped out except for at the very end of the last chapter and then roll credits at the end of the last chapter and game, then after the credits have a snippet preview of the next game or something... sort of like a "bonus" scene...

Not sure yet, how I want to do it.

Funny (in a sense) how things like that work.

As long as the book/story keeps me interested, I can easily read 150-200 pages in a day (and still remember what I read), time permitting.

That's odd X_x You sure you have v0.5.2.0 installed? And you didn't have some old .rpy / .rpyc files in the game folder which you might have extracted with unren.bat or un.rpyc? Because then you should've actually got a scene after loading the savegame which asks you some questions about the game and the routes you took to set the variables again..... hmmmm could you perhaps send me the savegame where that odditiy occurs? I'd really like to check what happened there (Call it curiosity )

Yeah I'm pretty sure this is 5.2.0 and the first time I played this game, didn't use Unren either. Here is the file in question. Or at least I think it is.

 

[blablabla666]

hoping for demon princess action in the next update

 

[Palanto]

Damn, I think I might know why that happened..... god damn looks like this will happen again to everyone :'( I'm starting to hate ren'pys save/load rollback shit system and the way it treats objects... tried a change in my script someone suggested and seems like that was the fault... so it actually didn't save your name in the right place....

I'll upload a small scripts fix tomorrow but you'll either have to restart the game again or you continue playing now until you hit the end of chapter 5 part 1 (So at the beginning of chapter 5 part 2 you'd stop) so that you get asked some questions on what you chose up to that point, or you wait for the fix and start over again.... sorry. :'(

 

[Scorpead]

i hope that the mc (female now) gets fucks by the guards and takes revenge on the little fag (demon)
that wil be a very nice twist
still hope that the nephew (wilhem i though it was) get what coming to him hehehe i really hate him

It's fine man, just finished it the other day, I don't really mind.

Just broke my immersion bro lol.

Yeah... *sigh*... not even in a "haha, hee-hee, ho-ho" sort of a way... Imagine all of the 3D assets I could've bought with that money...

As long as the book/story keeps me interested, I can easily read 150-200 pages in a day (and still remember what I read), time permitting.

Well, at least I was able to keep you interested then!

William will certainly be getting what is coming to him!! Karma is a bitch!

Wicked Choices v0.6.0.0 Update!! (August 21, 2018)
(as posted on our Patreon page)

Without the black, looming cloud of me possibly having the “BIG C” hovering over our heads over here, we’ve been steadily working this past week and finally finishing up the first of two acts for the finale of “Wicked Choices: Book One” and I am pretty pleased with how things are turning out with it!

It is hard to believe that we, along with many of you, have undertaken this entire journey together for a full year now!

This entire year has gone by super-fast and has been almost surreal with everything that has transpired, from starting out with just my wife and I trying to do everything ourselves, from Palanto (thankfully) coming on board to help and become a part of our company, to weathering Patreon’s culling, to kidney stones, to the last 7 or 8 months of being injected, inspected, poked and prodded to determine if I have cancer… it has been an interesting journey!

But… WE ARE JUST GETTING STARTED!!

The story of “Wicked Choices” has only really just begun and, with this last chapter to “Book One”, the universe will have been fully established, as well as, your mission… which will continue very, very soon!!

You now know most of the main characters, you know what you are faced against, you’ve finally awakened to your powers and, in this last chapter, you will finally be using those powers to decide the sort of person you are going to be!

Once we complete the “side-arc” game of “Wicked Choices: Adventures of a Changed Boy”, you can expect us to have a great understanding of the new game software, you’ll have the familiarity of how everything will work within the game, know all of the places you will be able to visit and will have met some of the new characters and NPC’s that you can interact with and use to power up… or join your harem of toys to use in the coming war that will start up in “Wicked Choices: Book Two”.

I can’t even begin to tell you how excited that we are about the future here!!

Thank you so much, everyone, for being a part of this journey with us; for being friends, fans and supporters!!!!

Thank you for taking a chance with us, for being with us for as long as you have, for giving me the ability to entertain you with the worlds that I have in my head, for being with us through our good time and supporting us with your love and friendship through the not so good times.

We couldn’t have done what we’ve accomplished if not for all of you!!

Our Sincere Thanks,

~Jack and the rest of us from ASLPro3D

well sadly it's not just the immersion... it's again every choice you made and so on didn't get stored in the correct place... which means all things you chose are lost one way or another...

 

[Palanto]

Alright... didn't sleep much but it looks like it's fixed (at least it works on my end) @godotccf would you be so kind to test the patch with your last savegame if you get the "fix scene" and if after another save / load the name is still correct?

You must be registered to see the links

need to change some things so chapter 5 part 2 is included in the patching process (which it isn't yet) so all choices you did in chapter 5 part 2 are currently still lost with this patch, that's why it's only a pc version now and not for all versions.

So far it's ok then. It fixed the naming issues, and I can always speedrun through Chapter 5.
