VN - Ren'Py - Xorias Are Back [v0.1.0.5] [88Michele88]

Like others, I was drawn here through morbid curiosity. "How bad can it really be?" I thought. Spoiler alert: pretty freaking bad, as it turns out.

So the first thing that might strike you about the screenshots is how poor the renders are. That's because these aren't renders, they're Sims characters. Or are so similar that it's the same. Either way, they dive nose-first into the uncanny valley and start digging.

Second thing that strikes you is the perspective. The backgrounds are sometimes 3D, with the characters placed over it. Nothing too odd, but then during sex scenes, instead of showing the characters in that 3D space, it instead has them still placed on top of the background with whatever furniture they are using. Often times you can see this furniture in the same background, which makes things look like an MC Escher painting rather than porn. Things like 'perspective' and 'proper layering' are gone, and the results feel like a preschool art project gone terrible wrong.

In short, don't. Just don't. Gawp at the preview pictures and move on. I spent 5 minutes on this shit so you don't have to.

v0.1.0.5
I know this is really early in it's development but the game has very, very little content. The dialogue is very basic with errors.

The characters are mostly ugly with bad facial expressions and I don't mean "eww she's ugly and I don't like it therefore it's bad" but 10 seconds looking at the previews picture will explain itself.

Renders aren't very sharp either. With the time I spent playing this game, This will need some major work with improving the models, lighting, renders, facial expressions, dialogue, and flow of the story.

Morbid curiosity compelled me to check this out, to see if the overview and preview images were truly representative of the game in question. They are. The words are almost entirely English words, but they are combined in ways that are generally indecipherable. The renders look about as you see in the previews including the blurred backgrounds that are quite frankly hard on the eye.

My recommendation to the dev, at least find a better translator for your work. I don't know if a comprehensible story could save this, but it sure couldn't hurt.

My recommendation to subscribers is to take a pass, unless like myself you are driven by pure curiosity to understand exactly what has happened here.

I wish the dev luck as they continue to grow and develop...

just bad. Translations are just bad. renders are horrible. Looks like they were made with MS paint. Many choices but you get a message saying "sorry no ready yet". If they're not ready why put them in the game?
