discussion VN Ren'Py [Koikatsu] Lost in You [v0.16.1] [atrX]

[AndyOTR]

Does this game have actual loli or its just a teen?

Teen, who look like loli At least some of them.
And many of the girls are flat (or almost), which is a rarity for games like this.

Gets boring

The development of relationships here is much faster than in Lil. In addition, the latest version has the ability to switch the game to linear mode and get rid of the grind completely.

The only flaw in the game (for now) is the huge time delay between updates.

I thought this game was abandoned, glad to see that it still receiving upgrades.

was fun until I got up to a LiL reset type puzzle and dropped it right there not going through that again.

It's just a parody of LiL puzzles. In fact, everything is linear and easy to complete.

I'm interested but what is a koikatsu?

I'm interested but what is a koikatsu?

The kinda cartoony-looking game used to create the characters and scenes (and in many other games with a similar look). I don't know if the actual Koikatsu or Koikatsu Party games are available on LC, but you can find them elsewhere, including the F-site.

Most often, when referring to it as a makeshift rendering engine for a game like this one, it will be abbreviated as "KK". Other games used in similar fashion that have very different looks are "[HS]" and "[HS2]" (Honey Select and Honey Select 2, also used as placeholders for Ai Shouju and other games that use the same/compatible mods/models) and "[VaM]" or "[VAM]" (Virt-a-Mate, a VR/animation-focused engine).

Some people even use other games that have extensive creation options, like Skyrim or The Sims.

There are also actual full-on 3D rendering programs people use to make some of these games: Daz3D (often just talked about as "Daz"), Blender, Unreal Engine, Unity, and others.

As a note, if you click on the "[Koikatsu]" flair in the thread title, it'll take you to a filtered page with other games with the same flair, so you can see the variation available in KK itself.

TL;DR: It's the name for the visual style this game shares with others made in a similar way.

Just how many LiL rip offs are there. I could have sworn the other game I was playing was the one LiL was joking about ripping them off but I am noticing it's this one because I see they are the ones who also stole the logo for the game. =)

Hopefully it's as good as LiL

And total lack of Wincest. Huge flaw. At least it has the music that has infested my mind. Hopefully they also have first rate town and happy happy smile.

This one and Dissonance are probably the big ones, although there are surely many others. Oh, and there was Sensei Overnight, but... um... yeah.

I am enjoying it well enough, but it doesn't seem as intelligent or philosophical as LiL. It like the diet version of LiL.

So, another developer decided to sell his ass to the supporters and ruin his game with his own hands. There's no point in continuing it anymore. What a pity.

Koikatsu is easy. Honestly, it's probably one of the easiest, if not the easiest, to use. There are a ton of games using it, including most of the LiL-alikes, and a lot of new AVN artists use it simply because it's so easy. So it's not just a matter of picking a different engine, it's a matter of there only being four main rendering engines to use (Daz, VaM, HS1/2, KK), with this one being the easiest and requiring the least artistic talent or effort for a passable product. Given that this game's writing is of rather significantly higher quality than its LiL-alike peers, it's pretty obvious that the creator's forte is the writing, so I don't begrudge them the easiest rendering engine.

i also just prefer how koikatsu models look (when there's good lighting) tbh

What exactly makes you say that? This game's been practically fully planned out for years and subs have 0 influence on what I do with it. That's something I've always made very clear to my subscribers and have no intentions of ever changing.

 

[AndyOTR]

What exactly makes you say that?

Forced anal, duh. The majority of people were disregarded to appease a small group. Things like this do not happen suddenly and without compelling reasons.

On top of that, the MC started acting like a loser, labeling wonderful, right things as terrible and wrong. What kind of idiot would trade a multitude of women for just one? Especially since building a harem was the game's primary goal from the very start (for players, at least), and a happy ending is only possible with a harem.
The developer's inconsistency and abrupt change of course clearly point to outside influence on his decisions—just like registering on the forum solely to post a single reply does.

I do not downplay the developer's talents—I acknowledge them—but the inconsistency and abrupt changes in direction are concerning and undermine trust.

Let me reiterate—just in case anyone misunderstood—that this isn't about which content is good or bad. It’s about consistency, about people knowing what to expect.
If a game follows a traditional path the whole way and then suddenly veers off into something unconventional, that’s a bad sign. Now it's a sudden anal, but what happens next? MC will suck his friend's dick?
