discussion Abandoned VN Ren'Py DAZ SUCH A SHARP PAIN [V0.11.7R] [KETZAL]

[BadJM]

Yes, but.... That is too much of a spoiler. But short answer, yes.

Ok. It seems like I will have to create another save then. Right now I have one that is supposed to be for the harem path but I didn't see her at the hospital.

Something drives me crazy every time I read comments like this. The game is complicated if you want to see everything. If you just play the game the way you like it and enjoy what's on offer, there's nothing complicated about it. There are 4 different routes, and therefore 4 paths with unique scenes. It's impossible to see everything in one game. So yeah, it's hard to get it all, and that's intentional. Maybe it's not the game for you if you just want to see pictures.
If you want to see it all, you have to read, search and understand. You can't have a game in which every answer has repercussions and at the same time see everything without your answers limiting your actions. But in any case, thanks for playing my game.

Poorly worded comments aside, the criticism is still somewhat valid.

Very little transparency, and instances where one choice can unintentionally override the user's 'intended' path can lead to a frustrating experience.


For example I haven't touched this in awhile. I tried to unlock one of the 'office' scenes that I'm fairly certain I've seen, and gave up after 7 attempts.

Not sure if this is a bug, but issues are present, and I'm not sure how you want to go about addressing them.

OK, since you said that, can you please check the 2 menus starting at lines 47 and 174 in ch3_01.rpy to be sure of what you intended? I'll spoiler for others.


At menu 47 I chose Family path choice, to call Cassey.
The nurse then stated in the convo immediately after that, that she did die; "She just passed away."

If you choose Bonds path and call Nicole, the nurse says "She is about to fade away."

Then, the "no I don't want to see her" choice at menu 174, also shows the MC saying goodbye to mom and Nicole in his thoughts, lines 193 and 195.

But that's the Family path at that point as I'm playing it, given that I called Cassey rather than Nicole, so I don't think it should say goodbye to Nicole there? I can see why it would be there for mom, since MC may think she is gone.


Again, I may be misunderstanding the code and what you intend. If that's the case, just say so without any more spoiling and I'll be patient and just wait for the next release(s).

It hates my ISP - tells me my IP is blacklisted. My ISP puts thousands of subscribers on a single public IP address, and Workupload doesn't like that.

It's written that way (the code) because the initial intention in the Family Path is to let Macy die. But if you don't go see her in the room, and you call Cassey, despite MC's thoughts, there's a very slight hope, but not the way you mean it. I can't say too much at the moment.

The Office scene you see in the grayed-out menu is not a bug. It's just there, for those who missed it the first time. If you didn't choose Leana or Harem, you can go there another time.

Well if that is the case I would just hide it completely, or denote that they user has seen it, since there is no way of knowing

Legitimately thought I was going crazy

 

[Moss]

Have to agree about a walkthrough of some kind being made/available/built-in. I thought I was on the full(?) harem path, but Mom died, and I figured that wasn't right for the full harem path. Can't see where I made a bad choice there, though.

Same here

Someone, please help... He's about to leave to Prison and then I get this error... what to do. I am playing version 0.7.2R

Thanks
Cheers

 

[hrmm]

what to do. I am playing version 0.7.2R

Download the new version (V0.7.3.3R). 0.7.1 was the main harem path, 0.7.2 added the solo Alice path, and 0.7.3 added the cop path (the one you're on) and the Macy path.

Ketzal probably should've noted this in-game (a message along of the lines of "This path will be continued in version whatever, roll back and save to continue when it releases") instead of jumping to a label that didn't exist yet, but 0.7.3. is out so it doesn't matter anymore.

 

[Mookey]

So that everyone understands, my vision is that the family represents the one MC chooses. The whole game is based on the pain MC feels and the anger he still has towards his mother. So Family Path is the real HAREM but without the mother. It's the game as it was written. It's MC's growth and maturity without his mother, but with memories of her, hence the flashbacks.
The Bonds Of Blood, as the name suggests, are only characters of the same blood as the MC. So not his wife. In BoB there's a way to save Macy, but to do so he'll have to lose the love of his life, his wife.

I hope that's clearer for you.

I may have not understood something correctly in game, but I remember where

Spoiler

there was an option to see a certain scene but had a disclaimer of a major spoiler, where Cassy called Nicole sister but Nicole didn't like that, and then there was the whole thing with the MC's mother becoming pregnant by the MC and we don't know what happened to the child. My assumption was that the MC's wife is actually his long lost sister/daughter by him and his mother. In hindsight, sister could have meant sister-in-law and Nicole just doesn't like her, but in my head when I read that the scene was a major spoiler, that's what I put together. Again, I might have misinterpreted something.

You are half right. Cassey is probably the same age as Nicole so she's not the sister-daughter, that's a character who will only show up later. However, MC's true father is Cassey's father, so they are still blood. MC doesn't know that, though, so it probably means that the ones who thinks are blood.

 

[superpuma]

Tiffany, Jane, Luna, Lisa... how much more of them will we have? In this case, will they be in the correct FAMILY/HAREM path? Macy, Sophie, Cassey, Nicole... young will also be very welcome.

I was able to get Macy ringing at the door, but from there all the content that i had was ALL seen prior to this latest version (the car discussion, the flashback scene with the sister and the mother) NOTHING new that i haven't seen before.
Am i missing something ? as i thought getting Macy back was the trigger for new content... pls advise

I already updated the hidden clickables post

Just wondering, since I saw a shota tag, even though I figured when a MC was a young boy, but is it possible if there's an another character who is a boy?

Ok I’ll try again.

Found it! Thanks.

Pretty sure all the shota content is going to remain in the flashbacks. The MC shows no signs of wanting to include catamites in his harem, nor would he allow himself to be cucked by some little boy touching his girls.
