discussion VN Ren'Py DAZ The Daddy Plan [v0.0.9] [ShaddyGames]

[LewdLewy]

My feedback for The Daddy Plan.

Pros

• Cute younger characters (that thankfully aren't Growing Up For Daz monstrosities).
• Older characters that don't have airbags attached to their chest and hips.
• Consistent look for Rose and Rhoda, making them believably related.
• I appreciate a Redheaded male MC. Don't see too many of those in adult games.

Cons

• Too much dialogue that doesn't serve a purpose. The audience doesn't need to know details about renting a truck. While some information can be gleaned from these details (like not being rich enough to book several airplane tickets at the drop of a hat), the ratio of text referring to these details versus focusing on the characters and story is too high IMHO.
  • Do the girls hate/love long roadtrips? Do any of them get car sick? Any of those details are more valuable than planning the car trip itself because they are expounding on the characters, specifically the love interests. It could also reinforce MC caring nature via text that states he knows which daughter will need motion sickness for example.
• Chloe (blonde twin) has eyebrows that are a bit too faint. Makes her look almost eyebrowless in some scenes. I would recommend darkening or solidifying them a bit in Daz. Not sure what hair shader is being used but I know for ColorWerks (2 or 3) that using the Scalp option on body hair seems to fix the issue without drastically changing the color.

Neutral

• Sitcom-esque joke setups that are akin to an old school laugh track in text form. Its different, I'll give it that, but comes off as hokey. I put this part in Neutral because the sitcom vibe seems to be what this game is going for. So it is doing a good job at that, even if I disagree with its inclusion.
• The player seeing the thoughts of the love interests happens fairly often. Given how rapid the development of the relationships is, I'm not sure this aspect is needed at all. It is blatantly obvious through their actions and words that the various women are in love or falling in love with MC. Seems redundant to me and may annoy players who don't care for that particular VN trope.

So far the cons are most heavily noticed in the first couple of chapters, but things rapidly start heating up and save the game from what I would consider a stumbling and slow intro. Honestly, just focusing on removing the dead air from overly verbose dialogue would do wonders to improve TDP.

Wooo now we are a happy family if you know what I mean, I kinda felt they were kinda similar but just thought it was the author preferred aesthetic, guess my gut was right

 

[morrison915]

Love.your work and the mod.you.done for.other games.

 

[Garyh659]

Love your mods and your game, you're a true hero of our perverted corner of the internet.

 

[Parmenion293]

The only thing missing from this great game is some more redheads and maybe some freckles

 

[simplejack2]

i think this was the first VN i ever tried out. and it was enjoyable. not a big fan of rose though. and kind of shook me a bit to find out about her parents in the latest update. not upset about it and she became more enjoyable. i hope there are plenty more great updates to come with this!

 

[Phenom]

I jumped in at version 0.0.5, and now I'm waiting for 0.0.6. I NEED MOAR!

 

[Fellowia]

Really great update. Thanks for the excellent work.

 

[yametekudasai]

Are the ages given or do we need to put in our own numbers ?
Cos i like when the games are a story, without me changing anything like names or ages and thus "meddling" into the story. Just spectate it

 

[bobbobington19]

Renders look great as always

 

[zombhunt]

Only 1 complaint and its a small one, they need bigger nipples.

 

[lopolone]

yeah definitely needs more content with the other daughters

yes sir it is definitely necessary

 

[mandomedo]

interesting game keep it up

 

[Petri1971]

I like the game, I find it funny how the girls have planned everything in advance and then surprise their father with it

 

[stangnomez]

I need to try this game. The preview didn't get me interested honestly, but they also didn't push me away from it, but i do have faith in Shaddy. Been in his Discord server for a while now, don't remember for which game, but i do remember liking enough to join the Discord. So gotta ask, is this good? Is the story to the level of other known good games?

The story feels like it is there to advance to the lewd scenes. It's not bad, but it would not really be worthwhile by itself.

Never mind figured out the problem.

I'd also love other girls in this game aswell as the daughters

You should definitely check it out. I put off playing it for a while as well based on the preview image, but I actually found it to be a pretty decent game so far. The story isn't bad, I didn't catch any typos, the models actually look related in a realistic way. I appreciate the little details Shaddy added as well.
