discussion Complete VN Ren'Py VAM Sparkling Duplicity [Complete] [Goosenards]

[elfieeven]

I really have a hard time with this Game. The Animations are awesome again, but the writing, especially the MC is all over the place already. He's already going Jackyll & Hyde, from being the mistreated but still trying Dad, to doing a instant full 180, being just a toxic piece of shit like his son. Without any in between.

I mean, I think I get what was the goal with the whole "food after hangover" Scene. With the Dad finally snaping and talking back, but it's just too sudden and too extreme of a behavior switch in the Dad imho. And the whole food thing is going on way to long too^^

Made me think if a more Anthology like format wouldn't be better to hone ones Writing skills a little bit with simpler but more detailed Short stories. And to be more flexible to show of the Animations that definitely are the strong point in the Game.

But, despite my nagging, I'm still looking forward to the next release, Tina really needs a Collar and Leash

Older teenage sons being able to make their dads go from wanting to hug them to wanting to toss them out the door is real.. would be nice if the MC wasn't such a pos when he was upset but based off the devs earlier game I don't think he had the best fatherly figure so that's going to end up in the writing..

I dont know how VAM works but i'm impressed with that Tina BJ scene.
A shame Goosenards decided to dicth loli/teen theme entirely, going with the "they are TOTALLY adults" aproach.

eh.. the loli in the last one definitely felt like she was an afterthought that had been tacked on. I'd rather not have a loli then have one who is barely included if it helps the dev make more $$

Great first chapter, can't wait for the next.

The diner scene and the banter with Blaire was great.

Blaire is best girl.. the other two are just sluts. The honest slut is definitely the better of the two though I hope MC lives in a universe without STDs

good update. Its weird that there's more action on the start screen than in the game though.

Uhhhh.. you.. you sure you played the actual game? Also, there are two routes.. sons gf vs ex-gf and they are completely exclusive. Unfortunately it's not obvious.. would have been nice if ex-gf had made a comment about the gf having already been there.. it's super cliche but gf could have left her panties behind as a gift and ex-gf notices them.

Downloading now. I'm holding out hope for an update where the a-hole son gets his ass kicked. I typically don't let characters in any fictional media get under my skin, but somehow, this kid does. Don't give this kid a crossbow and a couple of whores (GOT reference).
Looking forward to seeing how the game develops otherwise.

I think the Idea and reason for the Scene is good and plausible. It's just logic that the Dad "snaps" at some point and lashes out towards his Son, hitting him in his fragile Ego, it's just too harsh and too long for how understanding and deescalating the Dad behaved all the Time before.
A short outburst, a precise (verbal) Attack where he knows it hurts his Son the most, making the Son Explode and storm away, leaving the dad back alone regretting how he handled the Situation as he realizes he just Damaged the Relationship with his Son even more, would have been better imo.

Outbursts met with a counter outburst can definitely spiral out of control on both sides.. but agreed that regret would have been nice to see. But this is the same dev who wrote a story where the dad didn't worry that the wife had disappeared for days so I think there are some obvious dad issues there.

I must agree with you regarding the spoiler scene. Impressive and hot!

Don't think it's our place to speculate/assume about the Devs Private Life, so no comment here from me.

I was disappointed with the previous Games Story as well, but I wouldn't held it against the Dev, knowing the reason for the rushed mess that Story had become in the End.

Looks interesting, hope dev doesn't abandon

 

[blob69420]

they deserve less

 

[Skimming5726]

Wow these are some smooth animations. Can't wait for more updates

 

[Streptomicin]

Looks like it's worth a try

 

[FapMaster22]

I see the brunette young femlee in lot of game !

 

[Lasset]

Looks good, haven't seen this specific scenario before. Will have to try

 

[xbg71387]

Looks good to play

 

[Lasset]

Tried it, and will say those animations are pretty great. MC and son are both jerks but I can bear that

 

[elmano]

At first glance I mistook it for the Dumb Koala game series

I forgot about the exgirlfriend path and had only done the girlfriend path.
