discussion VN Ren'Py [HS2] Surviving My Family [Chapter 2 Part 1] [Carmine Note Games]

[Lonesome Toad]

Im actually inspired by games like my bully is my lover, my new family, my time with you, and single again. My bully is my lover is the game I was playing when I came to the conclusion that I needed to make a game. Just because I play a particular devs games and refrence mechanics in it doesn't mean the styles will be the same thats why you just try it and if its not for you move on. As far as what Joker says about it being a waste of time and for nothing, same thing can be said about anything in life, it's a survival game it's gunna have consequences whether that be death of character or you failing to save them from being taken advantage of It's a game were you can fail but guess what you can try again or like they said just turn it off. I'm not alienating anyone I'm giving you options by blocking just for a specific tag they are literally alienating themselves. Eitherway I'll have the planned tags placed soon and adjust according to when they are enacted. Main thing is the option is there for you to choose. Hope you stick around and if not happy gaming!

Sweet I love all those games myself aside from Single Again's MC being incredibly annoying. He was just giving you a heads up about what comes with certain tags and you can do with that what you will. Saying "Well they are the ones alienating themselves!" doesn't change the fact you will lose potential players (Not me because I look deeper than the tags and some things labeled certain ways are dumb).
It wasn't an attack but a heads up you should consider if you hope to make money off this game beyond what some pirate site can offer.
Are people logical? Nope. It is what it be though.

considering its not in the restricted section the answer should be obvious

There are games with smol characters but no sexual content, those doesn't go into g+ until smols get lewded or there's a confirmation from the Dev that they'd get lewded. I thought this is one of those, that's why I asked.

 

[Producer]

Guys, has anyone already played it, what are your impressions in general?

 

[just4fun1980]

Animated, Harem, Incest and Teen?
I'm in, thanks for sharing.

True statement if I'm not mistaken fosters back 2 school was under games until last update(don't quote me on that lol) and the tag for smol states about prepubescent so I went with teen.
But if they are considered smol

Spoiler

well one of them has lewded you I guess

than I have no problem with them changing the tag and moving it I just need some guidance not trying to break the rules.

 

[Naughty-Wizard]

This looks like it could be really good. The author needs to work on not having the clipping.

(...) it's a survival game it's gunna have consequences whether that be death of character or you failing to save them from being taken advantage of (...)

A very vocal minority will tell you, often and emphatically, that they'd rather have an LI be killed than have them have sex with another dude (whether it's forced or not).

Just smile and nod and make your game the way you want.

Spoiler: And if they won't play your game?

Good first release looking forward to playing more.

 

[duckydoodoo]

Good start, I especially like the very end of the release when the stepbrother or brother in law(yeah i cant remember cause MC has like 5+ step or in law sisters, and the relation is not actually explained, doesnt matter i changed them all to sister anyway not for incest but cause I found it a whole lot less confusing. In real life, I have always been horrible with the step, in law, first cousin, second cousin, cousin removed type nonsense. They are either family or fuckable, thats it, no other distinction has been requires since puberty hit) Okay back to the story. um yeah when the ken doll douche looking brother got bit, loved it. I was actually waiting for him to die the moment he showed up in the game. Did not realize MC would literally be the last man(male) standing round the house when I started so was awesome that my wishes came true. I also found it awesome that the other brother of whatever variety is already dead.

Aside from my relation confusion which is likely just me not the writing, found the demo fun. Graphics were what the samples look like, writing was light hearted and comical where it should be. Even though there is the harem trope of all girls instantly creaming over MC, this one is shaping up to look like there will be some cat fights in the house once they are all stuck in a zombie apocalypse fighting over the same dick. Which should be funny and refreshing in the harem genre, assuming this dev can pull it off, and i think they might have the chops if they keep on the way they were going.

Your images are wayyyyy too big man. Look into a tool that can help you bulk reduce their sizing because 4.4 MB per image is just not it.

 

[elfieeven]

Great effort so far.. good job creating characters that are different from what we usually get. Would be awesome if it wasn't kinetic but I know how much that can complicate a good story and this seems pretty story heavy so just a nice to have.

 

[EvilTwin8283]

I will give it a try, but if the MC lewds up sinead o'connor that we gonna have problems, oh wait thats a zombie, a sinead o'connor zombie. Still he better not bang it. gross!

Nah. MC Goes for it and only gets zombie dick. lol

 

[eball260]

it a goood game sooooo for.

 

[sincinbearcity]

I actually do think this fits the teen tag moreso than the loli tag (I know it has both currently), and think that removing the loli tag will actually give the game higher visibility to more people.

Good luck to the dev - will keep on my watchlist for future development.

 

[Gotenga]

Interesting game. I actually like how some of the characters are written. There is some nice witty banter and the erotic is well placed to keep the reader engaged.

I think this falls more into the teen category than loli. I've noticed others saying the same so I'm curious if there is a plan to introduce loli/smol characters later or not.

I'm surprised at the size of 3.7 GB because it seems like there is only about 30 minutes of VN here. Must be graphics heavy.

 

[Boogere]

The twin daughters and the first two nieces you're introduced to are solidly lolis and the game makes a point to lewd the niece in the yellow dress/micro-bikini. Eldest daughter is clearly late teens or early adulthood and the blonde niece I think is intended to be in her mid-teens, or late-teens depending on how you feel about the eldest daughter. So a loli-tag is justified in my opinion.

With all that being said, I like the game and I liked that it incorporated lewdthings happening during the more normal interactions, I'm looking foward to the updates.

 

[Freyr]

Thanks for sharing the game with us!

But I would suggest that the file size is way too much for a prologue.
It will get out of hand very quickly, and since you are using HS2 models, players are probably not interested in super high resolution images.

 

[User_43891]

Really really enjoying this one so far. The MC is an older, competent, relatively normal dude.

His family is horny AF, but they all are so it doesn't come across as creepy or grooming.

Despite the zombie apocalypse theme, it's so far a very upbeat and fun game.

With 10 LIs, the cast is stacked from the get-go. I'll be happy if we stop here and don't add anymore LIs.

MC has his wife and three daughters. His relationship with his wife is fantastic and she's got that thicc body I love seeing on MILFs.

MC's sister-in-law has two twin daughters, and her dynamic (she loves her deceased husband and MC reminds her of him) could be really poignant if written well. The way she cupped his face when she came to the house is a great start. Another thicc MILF, too.

MC's older sister has an asshole husband and a hyper young daughter. She's powerful (maybe beef up her arms and she damn well better have abs for days when we get her naked), but her personality is such a sexually frustrated pushover and I like that juxtaposition. If she tried to go the Dom route, MC could overpower with a well placed finger.

The three MILFs are definitely my faves so far.

The horny sister, the horny niece, and the horny daughter are all cut from the same cloth. The hyper daughter and hyper niece are also very similar, as are the shy niece and introspective daughter.

I'm looking forward to seeing how they develop as characters and seeing if any of them can make it to the Best Girl tier with Emelia, Sophia, and Melissa.

Might be already a bit crowded after the introduction of the cast. Also I think the generous use of animation could be a problem for keeping up releases. To be honest I didn't read all character introduction texts. Was too many details for me. I might have missed the part why two of the MC's daughters have their birthday on the same day, but aren't twins. There should be a better guide to name the family, because it looks like patchwork that is hard to figure out.

Still I am excited for the first proper release.

Born on the same day in different years. If you have sex at the same time of the year (bday sex, Valentine's Day sex, anniversary sex) and your aiming to conceive, it's definitely possible despite being highly unlikely.

And I disagree about the naming. I found it quite easy. But then again I read the words on the screen.
