discussion Abandoned VN Ren'Py DAZ Sides of Life [v0.2] [Rocky Games]

[User_12549]

A little bit short but not terrible for a 0.1 version. TL;DR: give it 6 months.

I couldn't care less about the dude-bro romance that totally-not-that-Jesse and Walter Douche (yeah, MC looks like a douche with that haircut and how he acts) have going on but I guess the long-term idea is that Jesse will probably get killed or arrested...

The first sex scene is sorta meh. I'm not really into picking up big breasted bimbos at bars so the scene was largely skipable. "Don't you know what kind of game this is?" isn't really a great excuse for if a character doesn't want to have sex with a particular character. If you're going to railroad the player, why even give them a choice? Honestly, imo, if someone doesn't want to see the scene, just skip it and carry on like it happened (not only is this a better design choice than "go back and make the right choice, dumbass" but it's stupidly easy to accomplish with a quick jump in the code). Overall lazy writing that easily could've been resolved without the romp in the bathroom (IE, bar guy gets punched in the face, if you choose not to bang dumb bitch #1 the police show up and arrest you immediately).

There are all of 2 missable scenes atm, both in the 'flashback'. Personally I don't prefer games that make scenes missable by default (IE, do this and get this scene or do that and get that scene) because it doesn't increase replayability (if that's what you're going for then your game doesn't have any replay-ability to begin with) and they're honestly just frustrating from the player's perspective (either having to juggle saves or just roll back and see both scenes). I much prefer games that have consequences as a result of decisions of the player (this game has none of those at this point).

The scene with the mother is pretty rape-y. I don't really mind but some people might. Nothing really impressive since it's just a BJ.

The scene with the sister is decent. The shower scene before is a nice tease but honestly I wish there was more lead up to the sex scene (and even the scene itself is much too quick). The pacing just feels off, even though the little sister character is cute and I'd have liked there to be more development there.

Overall at this point I wouldn't really recommend this game for lack of content (basically none of the preview picks are even in the game yet?) but I'll probably check back in 3-6 months and try again. Maybe by then MC will get a new haircut and stop being a douchebag.

Thank you for the feedback.

To explain the things you listed:
This is my first game and the first scene in the bar was my first try with renpy coding, I never did any form of coding before. So the first menu was more a test how menus work at all. But I will change that in the next update and make the scene skippable. Also, the animations are the first ones I ever created and as you saw in the flashback, I decided to go with looping renders instead of animations because of obvious reasons lol.
And there will be more consequences in the future, the whole game is just kind of a prologue so far to get to know the characters and to set up the actual story.

Also, the main girls from the preview pics will be intoduced in the next update, I said under developer notes that they aren't included yet.

And there will be more darker content regarding the "work" of the MC, but for the family it will be mostly love content.

I really like working on that game, give me some time to add content and I hope you will like it at a later point

Does this game have a prequel or something like this? the police officer call's the MC with his "standard" name

 

[Gametimer]

Yes, Sis and daughters are safe with you. No one else will touch them.

Thanks, everything is in 4k, that's why it is so big. I will reduce the size in the future, it's gettig too big.

Same problem .... testet all uploads even the compressed version. All pics are shiftet the same way. Strange...

 

[User_12549]

Sorry, but I don't know why this happens for some of you. I tested every download myself and everything works fine, also most of the other players don't seem to have this problem. Maybe you can try to play in windowed mode and manually adjust the window until it doesn't shift hopefully?

 

[AVG]

The beginning looks promising, cannot wait on the next releases!

 

[Deschain]

Hmmmm resizing/switching fullscreen/windowed dosn´t work for me. Played a few new Ren´py Games lately, but never had such a problem. Maybe the next update get it fixed somehow. If it helps i can post a logfile?!?.

When the game is open, Hold shift+G and this should appear
Change Renderer to one of the other choices (probably Force ANGLE2 Renderer)
Exit out completely and reopen.

Around half an hour of playtime as of 0.1 but there should be a new update soon.

Hello everyone,

here's a little upate on the progress for the next update:

Script 90%
Renders: 50%
Music/Sound: 10%
(Animations*): 0%

*I will see if I have time for animations. I want to make them, but it's very time consuming and the other parts have priority first.

I will try my best to get everything ready within the next week, but I can't promise anything. Maybe I will need a couple days more, I don't want to rush things just because I gave myself a very optimistic deadline. I want the game to be as good as I am capable of.

Thank you all for your support and your patience!

Rocky

Wow, that's some bait and switch. Half the preview images and tags aren't even in the game...

lol. well, sometimes not all previews are in v0.1 and some tags are for future planned content not impelmented yet. Looking for something in particular = better luck in v0.2.
