discussion VN KN Ren'Py DAZ The Five Star Stories [v0.9.0] [Narrator Studios]

[JokerOfTorment]

I wanted to play and enjoy the game, then support you because of the shit Patreon and SubStar are putting you through, but I just can't get into it. I can even see that it likely has a lot of potential.

I understand that it's probably better later on in the game since you made the decision to remove NTR, but the start is still really rough and unpleasant for me as someone who has negative interest in netorare/netorase in AVNs to care enough to get through it.

Most of the first few scenes are about the apparent primary LI, Lisa, wanting to fuck her boyfriend/ex-boyfriend Tony, the MC agreeing to help her fuck Tony, and the MC being aroused by the idea of her fucking Tony. If you don't plan on netorase or a sharing-with-men path for Lisa, the entire first few scenes desperately need to be rewritten. The MC gives off huge cuckold vibes during them, and Lisa just seems slutty and doiesn't seem to particularly care about the MC. Also, having the first three hints of lewdness be: a few peeping shots, a nip slip, and then a skippable (but not avoidable) other guy fingering Lisa (again, the apparent primary LI), was pretty discouraging. Hell, I stopped before the next lewd scene specifically because the MC told her to treat him like he was Tony, which I found distasteful enough that I gave up.

I may check back in again some time if those first few scenes get the rewrite they desperately need.

There are multiple good examples out there of better ways to handle the "LI dumped/at risk of being dumped because she wouldn't put out for boyfriend and MC consoles her" storyline. I can suggest some for comparison/review if wanted, but that's otherwise off-topic here.

You can still show support to help out, as I'm sure narrator would love that you did and helped out and get the perks from it if you use buymeacoffee. And yeah, things can always be fixed/changed like most devs tend to do, but might make an update longer to come out though that depends on how fast a dev can be on things, and it can change sizes of the download if things get cut or added for things to make sense but so far narrator has been doing their best to work on everything so it's possible changes can be made.

.6 is paywalled, .5 is broken and the smols content also apparently has bugs, I dont think lack of funding is the issue...

I can confirm. Tried 2 different downloaders and the game refuses to start and send a traceback. Pls fix it <3

Did you apply the patch after decompressing the game?
The game is full. You don't need to add anything if you did.
I'm working on the screen file right now and I think I'll be able to upload it in a few minutes.

It worked for me, but I worked a little on the screen file. I hope it will work for you guys.

What patch? Or am I missing something?, there is also a pass but the file is not passworded?

Game is full, no more patch to add.

 

[Orcman]

I see, thank you for the answer, I'll try again.

One thing to add is I noticed that you do not unlock the replays if going Kinetic. Only VN mode unlocks them.

 

[MasterGrim]

you say its full but when i download it the Smols are still disabled

This link worked for me while the ones on the main page wouldn't launch.

I don't know why it doesn't show up for some of you.
But I'm so tired of the smols issue and it's the reason I lost Patreon that I'm going to stop making that content and go with the main content.

I dunno, I downloaded verion 0.5 off boosty, and everything worked fine for me, including smols.

Hi... I apologise in advance if this is a stupid question: If Patreon is no longer an option, you could develop the game the way you want or the way you started it. Or not?
Changing direction in the development process is usually not advantageous. Nevertheless, all the best for the future... to us all

If you're not using Patreon anymore, I don't see why you'd stop making that content? now that you can do whatever you want, just make the game you want to make.

 

[JokerOfTorment]

Agreed with all the above. As long as no nsfw pics are posted of the smols or the characters on any of the donation or membership sites then the stuff is fine to be in the game as that's from what I read about Boosty seems like they don't care about what's in a project, just as long as what's posted visibly on their site isn't adult like a picture of a naked character etc. but I'm sure one fully clothed for example in jeans and normal shirt is allowed probably works the same with buymeacoffee also and whenever subscribestar is approved also.

So pretty much you don't have to fret anything anymore Narrator as the sites you are on now are way better than patreon by having laxer rules and also safe as I have seen other creators using them also for their works.

 

[Slay]

@The Narrator any idea how to fix this? Im on android using Joiplay. Happens as soon as i try and open the game.
