VN - Ren'Py - Wife's Dare [v1.0] [hotscorpion]

Nice art. I found the concept with the dare game interesting. Hopefully the development time will not take long because it is a simple game.I would rate with 4 stars , but I gave 5 to offset the stupid 1star-ratings below

Another NTR game without a original thought or idea? Say it ain't so.

The AI generated images are less inspired than Hallmark movies. The kinks that are supposed to be explored in the game are the same boring shit once again, and the race aspect is just seemingly lazy.

Yawn. Same old same old.

Not much to say. Not much game or story yet.
The AI art looked promising, at least different from all the other AI-art games.
But there is no consistency in the models used., this switching of art styles feels extra lazy, like 0 effort has put into it.

This is absolutely subjective rate. Everything is defined by the kinks you are into, your game style, long or/and short games and this kind of thing.
Only slightly by coding, renters quality or story that can have same kind of objectivity.

I do it this way because coding, scenes and writing are pretty average. Nothing new.

Also the game have nothing new, same ole NTR/NTS . It's managing the same template used by 90% of this kind of games.

The story is almost the same than How far will you go. Wife feels challenged, hubby hesitates and keep going further.
Tough, this one is still developing so it turn a very different way Later.

So, my rate is only because I like this topic, sometimes i enjoy short games andturns me on the female sluttines.
Anyway, i posted cause NTRphobics don't even keep this thread open more than 5 seconds and user here are closer to my point of view.

Version 1.0(?)

For starters, bad versioning. This game barely qualifies as a short demo or even a 0.1.

The Art:

I'm far from anti-AI. In fact, I think it is inevitable that 90% of games wind up being made with AI as it improves to the point that only elitist and lobbyists still hold out.

But the AI used here has a lot of flaws. Character consistency is weaker than most titles in this era (cycle?) of AI art.

A big problem is that it looks like different models are used at times so you have some pics that border realism and others that favor a more anime-ish style like on the title page.

Pick a model and stick with it please.

Plot:

Hard to judge any porn game, especially NTR titles, for the plot. The bar is so low that there are barely any devs that even seem to try any more. Which leads me to...

Writing:

The story feels rushed. Most of what happens is narration. "This and this and this and this." I get the dev is trying to get to the meat of the game but very little feels experienced from the characters. It feels like the MC is a disembodies person looking down on the couple.

The writing also sounds mechanical at times. I'm not sure if this is because of the aforementioned rushing or heavy use of AI translation. Either way it has that uncanny feel.

Choices:

There's two. And each is a choice either to progress the story down what feels like a linear path or a game over. That's not choices. That's the illusion of choice. If you want a kinetic game, just make it that. I suppose I should give props for the abrupt endings to come off as "good" endings.

Rating:

As is this is barely a 1-star game. I gave it an extra star because it's not too late to improve on and it does give you a summary, if rushed, of what you might expect. Hence the very forgiving second star. In my experience though most devs have tunnel vision, double down, and forge forward without improvement. You just get more.

More of the same or not, this game needs a lot more content before it stops feeling like an intro for the game yet to come.
