VN Ren'Py Yesterday's Crossroads [Ch.3 v0.4.1a] [CHAQUINN0]

[BGRW2020]

You can say that same thing about pretty much any game that you sleep around. Which is why in a game like this I tend to stick with solo paths and saves and make a manwhore one for consequences . I do disagree with you saying it's unrealistic about the girls not finding out. I mean it has only been 3 chapters what do you expect them to find out right away, I think that's more unrealistic. It makes more sense for them to be kept in the dark and only find out when you as the player make some poor decsions that causes them to find out. The dev has said they will have consequences and find out.




I can't ever decide between Michelle and Julia personally. even tho I do play every path lol

actually most of the time so do I - I find the girl that reflects the type I like but in this AVN it is getting impossible to choose between Julia, Olivia and Michelle

 

[BGRW2020]

for fucks sake, you do actually realize that's all on you, as the player, right? No one is forcing your hand to ask out a girl on a date or have sex with them. You, as the player are given options to choose. If you decide to be a player, the consequences are on you. The dev made it all optional. Given it's a not a harem game, you'll run into problems sooner or later if you do that. The solution is quite easy... make multiple saves for the LIs you are interested in.

correct it is on the MC, but wjy does the Dev make it so impossible to choose - that is why many Dev's add the harem path, it's totally unrealistic but solves the issue in game stories

okay dude you are not picking up what I'm putting down it looks like. What I said was, those choices are on you personally, not the MC. And you don't need to choose... again, multiple playthroughs exist, you just don't have to be lazy about it. But whatever, another harem complainer, who clearly can't appreciate a good story that is not a harem fuckfest. So I'll put you on the list so I don't have to see that garbage again.

haha those are the 3 I have hard time picking as well. Well I have an easier time not picking Olivia over Julia and Michelle. I will say Michelle's sister might come into that mix as well for me depending on her path proceeds in future updates. As I do like how she is an ex girlfriend but to early to say how much I like her yet but she is ahead of the rest I didn't mention at least , especially since she will be getting a solo path.

Actually I was not complaining about it not being a harem game - I was just saying thats how some Devs get around making all the women perfect 10's and making it easier to choose between them

Took ya long enough

Yep!
Chapter 4 is already stirring up some chaos. The set of choices I mentioned in the latest devlog, for example, impacts Julia's relationship while advancing Candace's. However, you can totally suggest Candace to spend time with her on another day and advance both their relationships at the same time.

In Chapter 2, you could have completely avoided Olivia finding out about Julia by skipping her art exposition. This allows you to start Olivia's route by asking her out at the end of Chapter 3, this way you can be with both at the same time.

Chapter 4 has two more situations like these, but I won’t spoil them. Suffice it to say, things are really heating up, and Chapter 4 will already start some of the imminent chaos.

Because there is so many outstanding girls, I started doing solo paths for the my favorites right from the beginning.

Maybe I might have to do a chaos path too, just to check out the drama.

 

[CHAQUINN0]

I understand the point of view, and I really appreciate the compliment on the girls as well as your feedback. The way I've approached this game is to focus on how choices and their consequences will unfold. This approach also provides replayability, which will allow you to go back and replay different outcomes based on various combinations of choices. But I also gave you the option to totally avoid everyone and pursue only one girl, or none of them, and the overall story will still unfold seamlessly.

Sure, there are things that might be considered unrealistic. But if I wrote everything with strict realism, it would be a snoozefest, and we probably wouldn’t even make it past the Prologue. So, some artistic liberties had to be taken along the way.

I go through the same dilemma when playing AVNs myself. Take Being a DIK, for example—I find it very hard to reject Jill because I want Josy, but it has to be done. The solution is to make separate saves for dedicated playthroughs with each one of them solo.

One thing I prioritize in this game is telling the story through "unavoidable" content while giving you, as the player, the freedom to decide what actions to take based on what you know. These decisions not only shape your character's personality but also the characters around him.

I'm sure people are probably tired of me always mentioning these games, but Detroit Become Human and Until Dawn have been huge inspirations for me when it comes to narrative and choice-driven games. That’s the approach I intend to take with Yesterday’s Crossroads.

I know it can be frustrating at times, but believe me—it's well worth it in the long run.

haha I was thinking earlier today about Detroit Become Human and how I never got around to playing it yet but I want to cause I loved Until Dawn and AVN's. So gonna have to play it for sure now that that game was an inspiration for you.

They better be choc chip, or no deal.

oh that game is awesome, I loved it. There is an AVN around don't remember the title off the top of my head that is in the same universe, haven't played it in quite a while.

It's amazing!!
The choices you make all affect not only the robot you are playing as but also the other robots and the humans they interact with. Technically it has more than 80 endings

Having more than one relationship is very attractive...
I can't deny this...
But the reward of being loyal is also quite attractive...

This is what is missing in erotic games...
Being loyal never feels as good as being flirty...

Maybe this game can change that...

 

[COOLMASTER]

a new up date ?

 

[Elduriel]

a new up date ?

devlogs are public on patreon and also posted here, but to spare you the effort, no, nothing concrete yet on the timelline.

WIP - November special renders

I’ve been working on this month’s special renders set and wanted to give you a sneak peek at how it’s coming along. Riley is the featured girl for this month.
You can expect it to be available in the last week of the month, exclusive for the Bright Road tier and above.

 

[Pl@y3r]

impossible to choose - they are all perfect 10's, in these AVN's everyone is one

Not all of them, also I don't know about you, but to me personality matters too so to me it's not impossible maybe just hard sometimes.

Having more than one relationship is very attractive...
I can't deny this...

I suppose it's a matter of taste, but to me, in a throuple for example, I'd get 50% of each girl instead of 100% of one, so yeah...

But the reward of being loyal is also quite attractive...

To me, always.

Being loyal never feels as good as being flirty...

Maybe this game can change that...

Except that being too flirty comes with consequences. As for changes, I hope the throuple in this VN won't be just/mostly sexual, even though I most likely won't switch to it.

CHAQUINN0 Regarding the November special renders and future ones, whether it's Riley or some other girl, they will definitely look better without something covering their face, just saying.

 

[ymy42]

Sex scenes focus heavily on penetration...
I know this is a general thing...
Wouldn't kisses on the neck, lips or forehead be more romantic?
At least in the main relationship routes...
