VN Ren'Py WVM [S2 Ch. 1 Ep. 13 B6] [Braindrop]

[jaw1986baby]

I don't understand the appeal of random hookups in a VN. What's the point of devoting all that dev effort to create new models and render scenes with characters to whom the player has no connection? I could understand having some kind of montage / collage / slideshow showing MC's sexual escapades, but frequently interspersing scenes with random girls during 'downtime' seems like it would be jarring from a narrative standpoint. Especially if that narrative time could have been spent making progress with any of the 20+ named girls already in the harem that may have fans ... wouldn't it be more prudent to introduce a sense of player achievement by having the MC win over those named girls? Kimmy and Harper are examples of characters that clearly have feelings for MC, but barriers to overcome prior to their joining the harem. More character interactions along those lines might provide this narrative some depth and make the lewd scenes more intimate / rewarding to the player. Just my $0.02.

I agree that the only useful purpose of a random hook up is very, very limited.

In a slow burn game it helps to make an early sex scene while we wait for emotional connection to the LIs.

So if I had a say I would vote for no rando shit when we are all eagerly awaiting the girls we have met and want so much (Stacy - secretly my sister)

But I do not recall this even going to a poll so yeah........

I think it is a very poor decision as well

I agree with you here. For a slow burn VN, it is great to retain some interest, if there is a fear that no lewd content could be detrimential at the start (or even after the build up, if the story is written as such), or it can simply spark interest/conversation such as "this was great, but when will xy have such a scene?".

Honestly this is really starting to feel like (pardon my french) that the MC is the dick, and the character is the attachment (or extra, or whatever you want to call him).

It could just be me, but this is how I started to percieve the story telling.

While I have/do enjoy this VN, I also agree with those who say that there doesn't need to be any more LI's. A harem is one thing, but it boarders on the ridiculous when its an entire university worth of conquests including not only the students, but the teachers, staff, board of directors, student's mothers, random citizens, various members of the general populace at large...

Like I said, Im enjoying the story, but I'm starting to have a hard time keeping up with all of the characters, lol

Does anybody know what the DITLO poll is about? And can you show us the possible answers?

The possible answers were explicitly stated.

DITLO Poll (Sixth Man+):
We also apologize for this being a few days late but we weren't able to post for a bit, this first one will be held tomorrow the 12th.
The options will include Eden, Emiko, Jasmine, Kimmy, Mackenzie, Moon, Rachael, and Tia.
The first poll will be to select the top 4 options and then there will be a second poll on the 19th to select between the remaining 4.

As for what it's about, it's almost certainly another kinetic novel style side-story (DITLO Harper had no choices) from the perspective of whichever character wins the poll.

In other words more ways to get sidetracked and distracted instead of working on the two major projects already.

 

[WaerM]

Can we get a poll to change Ruby and Moon back to their first models to pls ?
I liked them way better before they got their new looks

 

[Rutonat]

Can you play a basketball game this season? And what happened to the game? I see that the vast majority are not very happy, I stopped playing it since the end of season one and I wanted to know if there was finally some sports action?

 

[Joey1264]

Will the Azel masturbation scene be in this release?

 

[benzd]

the basketball game is literally the next update in a few days

However, no, it looks like you won't get to play, its only an exhibition match and so they want to bench you because of your injuries. Personally I'm hoping you get to take the court just long enough to dominate the guy who's been trash talking you and Harper. But who knows, maybe you'll play, maybe not.

It's quite obvious really. The amount of money the dev will be able to further milk out from his patrons by stretching out the story and putting main LIs' character development on hold FAR outweighs the "effort to create new models and render scenes with characters to whom the player has no connection".

Haven't played since before S1 ended. Do we get to go balls deep in Harp yet or no?

Not yet

First of all, best game ever although I have a question about android port. On party day there are some missing animations or it is a bug with the port itself ?

It's pretty obvious he's going to end up playing 10-15 min. at the end of the game in order to win it.

I hope not; I'd rather they lose without him. It'll be a bonding experience, plus the team will see how good they are without their star player, and that's never a bad thing.
