VN Ren'Py Yesterday's Crossroads [Ch.3 v0.4.0a] [CHAQUINN0]

[risky0]

Lesbian and voyeurism are stop signs for me. Especially the ones that cannot be avoided.
Having a scene like this in the game before the routes have even been created will only kill the appeal of the character for people who will choose the Alessa/Solo route in the future.
At least add this kind of content only for people who choose the Alessa/Vera route, so that people like us who will play Alessa/solo can avoid these scenes.

It's sad that lesbian content is mandatory except on solo routes.

The player choices will be heavily influencing the game starting from Chapter 1, the Prologue was mainly to tell how we are where we are. I have a solid "backbone" for the story and all LIs for the chapters to come, in fact the Harem and each individual relationship will be totally influenced by the player.

This chapter has more lewd scenes than any previous ones and I started posing the first one this week, it is about halfway done though. This is the Alessa/Vera scene, no MC involvement here (yet).

I guess that's where the "total influence on the relationships by the player" ends? How does that scene work if the Mc isn't even involved? cuck/voyeur, different POV, is it going to fall into the multiple protagonist category having a choice with one of them, or is it going to be forced?

Hey, everyone!
So, this week was another one of more writing and putting assets together within DAZ. Next week, I will focus solely on posing more of them. There is enough written material for a month of work on posing alone.
Apparently, there was some concern regarding the Alessa/Vera scene I mentioned in the last dev log, perhaps due to the 'forced' nature of Keyla’s flashback scene; who knows? Every sex scene moving forward is either behind a specific girl’s route, or entirely reliant on your choices. None of them is forced upon you, so don’t worry, you won’t be violated.
When I say that things in the game will depend on your choices, I really mean it. Even if Alessa and Vera are a couple now, you can still choose to avoid one of them and be with the other if you so choose. All you need to do is pay attention to the dialogues and make your choices accordingly. If you don’t want to see some FF action, you will not be forced to. However, it will still be there for those who do.
Have a great weekend, everyone!

Well this was pretty much perfect timing for when I came upon this matter of how the game's being developed. I'm glad the dev is sticking with player agency.

Been a good story and good visuals so far, just discovered this one. Pleasantly surprised.

Forcing the MC to have crawled back to Keyla even after she ditched him for Steve is incredibly obnoxious, unless you are somehow going to say that Keyla and Steve have never fucked despite being married, many players, myself included, have no interest in a girl who already moved onto some other dick. Kim is one thing, since it's implied that she hasn't slept with anyone else. Kimberly is awkward as well because MC says that she was dating some guy while he was dating Kim, but even that isn't too egregious because the MC and her had only ever been fuck buddies before then. Some people will disregard Alessa because of Vera, although I'm not personally bothered by that (that said, I still don't really care to see it, especially without the MC present). Keyla however, is the only one that actually, truly, betrayed the MC, multiple times, so if the object of chapter 2 was to make Keyla basically as unlikable as possible, mission accomplished. All I ask is that we don't get some bs drama about Michelle or Olivia's ex's, in fact my hope is that they don't have any ex's, which seems to be the implication, but you never know with some of these devs.

With all of that said, I actually do like the game quite a bit, pretty much everything that doesn't involve Keyla is good, especially Michelle, who must be protected at all costs (Olivia and Alessa are right behind her).

The way this statement is worded, I'm not sure if you're asking if relationships will be forced (like a MC/Keyla) pairing or if you're assuming they will be.

I'm using Sancho's mod and I can tell you right now there's already flags that close off paths for Keyla and the dev has stated the MC will have agency over who they romance. Not counting the girl he breaks up with at the beginning of the game, it looks like we'll have a lot of control over who we date or whatever.

I don't mind drama as long as MC can steer his way around it.

I know that, I'm also using Sancho's mod, I'm talking about the unavoidable flashback with Keyla at the end (the 2nd flashback), in that flashback MC has sex with Keyla despite the fact that she's with Steve already and that she, as far as I'm concerned, cheated on MC with Steve. So now she's automatically cheated on both of them with each other, regardless of what you've done with her in game.

Okay now your point is clear to me.

I don't have a problem with it, myself. But different strokes for different folks.

Yes: the fact that a character in a VN has a back story that might include unfaithfulness and sex with someone other than the MC is just a horrible, horrible thing. It is too close to reflecting reality instead of letting the player live in the fantasy that's he's the biggest swinging dick in the universe and that all women will abstain from sex until they can have his schlong and his schlong only and ever forever and ever and ever.

What a fucking cope. God forbid I don't want a Love Interest to have cheated on the MC, it's almost like there's a specific three letter tag for that which most people don't like. And no, I'm not saying that tag should be applied to this game, but the principle is the same, because it involves a LI cheating on the MC. Also, there is a big difference between a LI having a previous relationship and a LI cheating on the MC. There is yet another difference between a LI cheating on the MC, and forcing the MC to get back with said cheater in an unavoidable flashback.

It's not too close to reality, because in reality, I wouldn't even entertain the idea of getting back with a bitch who cheated on me, under any circumstance. The problem is that it's forced, obviously I'd rather it didn't happen at all if she's going to be a LI, but since it did happen and she is, allegedly, a LI, I would simply prefer if the MC wasn't forced to have hooked up with her after she hopped onto Steve's dick.

Avoid the character in an unavoidable flashback, why didn't I think of that?

You're special aren't you....you know the only reason that flashback exists right? Right? Get the fuck over it and move on with your life, you've made your point you dislike her. Good for you.

I was done before either of you big brains even said a word to me, you 2 are the reason this conversation even exists.

You made three posts about it before I even commented.

Maybe you should work on increasing the size of your own brain first before trying to call me out
