Ren'Py Abandoned Big Brother in Space [v0.10.0] [Lewd Fiction Games]

[Lewd Fiction Games]

Please allow me to make some suggestions:

1. it is really hard to increase the immersion in a sandbox game, because you do not know in what sequence the player will do which opportunity, but I think it is absolutely essential. I would thus propose to write chapters like episodes of a TV series, with a clear highlight / cliffhanger at the end. For example: you could have hyped up Eric's party story-wise, maybe by dropping already some dialogue in your last release or ending mid-scene with a cliff hanger. I would suggest you have one main event per release and that only triggers when all other opportunities are finished.
2. the girls are quite 2 dimensional, I would add a bit more character by some random/chance interactions with non-essential dialogues. you could also make Kira & Max get almost caught by a member of the family. You could have Ann feel remorse that she attended such a party with her, errr: tenant.
3. I would definitely add a bit more grind, and prolong gratification like in the original. I know, everyone complaints but right now, its like: let's make a porn movie with Kira. All I need is to wait an in-game week. and she will do

   in the first movie. No expensive camera to buy, no series of photoshoots as a build up.. just straight to the main event.
4. I would add a bit more choice to the players ("spank hard, spank soft" with a tolerance building up. if you spank too soft, you loose Ann's points, too hard you loose the girl's love points but add submission. Enable me to interact with the girls, if that makes sense.

Welcome your thoughts

1. I'm not a fan of "TV series" type of games where you get a mix between sandbox and what's essentially a VN. My point is that if you want a sandbox, play in the sandbox mode. If you want a VN - play in the VN mode. The sandbox aftermath of the VN mode is easily skippable (just don't play it and wait for the next version). Having a sort of a hybrid between both is bad for both VN and for sandbox enjoyers.
2. I've thought about adding random dialogue. I've decided against it for a few reasons: it adds additional maintenance and it grows with each version because some dialogue needs to be removed and new dialogue needs to be added the further you progress in the game. At some point it will be taking too much of my time, which can be used better for more actual in-game content.
3. I wouldn't. Forcing the players to repeat events over and over again just to see two more pictures every time until they play the full event is not what I want to do. Forcing them to go through extra steps is also something that needs to be balanced carefully, because with the new quest system, this means that you block the progress with this character until you get through that event.
4. As with the 2nd point, this is a question of balance. The time I spend on the game is really limited, so if I wait till I add everything that I want to add, you'll see releases once every 4-5 months. I'd prefer to have updates with meaningful content than to have updates with some grindy feature. Plus the quests/opportunities in BBIS are not dependent on random chance, because it complicates the framework that is driving the game to a point where it becomes hard to maintain and every new update is just a bugfix hell. I've had to deal with that in 0.9.4 because of the changes introduced in the previous version and I don't plan to have that again.

1. make sure you're playing the latest version of the game (0.9.4)
2. make sure you're seeing the (*) mark next to the character name, indicating that there is more content for them
3. post a save file if you want assistance. I misplaced my crystal ball and can't magically know what's wrong with your game progress.

Lewd Fiction Games - Can you explain pros/cons of friend vs enemy paths of eric? Can you get rid of him in both paths later on?

Lewd Fiction Games - Can you explain pros/cons of friend vs enemy paths of eric? Can you get rid of him in both paths later on?

For the second phase of the game, that just started with 0.9
Friendship path:
- pros: scenes with Eric and Ann
- cons: less scenes with Karen since she's no longer coming to your home

Enemy path:
- pros: scenes with Karen
- cons: less scenes with Ann since this path will not have the scenes with Eric and her.

Regarding the second question - we're not that close to the end of the second phase where you'll have the final decision on how to proceed with Eric. So take the following with a grain of salt since plans could change until we get to that point.

Do we have to get rid of Eric in order to have sex with Ann?
Or we can have the sex with Ann first?
Also will the reveal about Eric,be on both routes?

You won't need to get rid of Eric in order to get to Ann.

Eric's part of the story will be in both paths.

 

[steelgreat]

Android version please

You can play this game with joiplay like me if you want to try it.

Then this should have a great impact on friendship route.
Maybe even leads to throwing our "friend " into the space.

Hi all,

As mentioned before, I'm following a different process for 0.10 with the dialogue and the story renders first so I can start adding the new steps to the quests and test while I'm doing the renders for the sex scenes.

So far, so good. I'm done with the story renders (all ~110 of them), so I'm ready to start coding and testing while I'm rendering the animations for Lisa's scenes first. The downside of this approach is that I won't be able to share with you some of the scenes images because they're just not ready yet, so here is an image from Lisa's quest that you'll see if you're on the friendship path.

 

[natehale1971]

uh... if Eric goes after Lisa, i'm out. it's bad enough he's going after Ann. But to have him go after her too. No thanks. It's obvious that Eric is keeping Max as a "Drone" so he can have free reign over the girls. So if we can't take Eric out, this game sucks and we're wasting our time with it.

Don't be impatient, it's a different set up so there's going to be a different path to get rid of everyones "favourite" big red goon but I'm sure it's on it's way. Dev has a plan and is reliably putting out content so let him tell the story (though if you are on the right tier on Patreon or Subscibestar you get a poll that has some influence but we've not had the option of Eric gets accidentally Spaced or Eric gets accidentally dropped in the reactor core choice yet maybe it'll be the Christmas bonus this year )

Here is an image from the alternative scene that I shared in my last post. You'll see it if you have chosen the enemy path which results in Karen visiting twice a week.

In 0.10 both the friendship and the enemy paths will not have scenes with Lisa and Eric/Karen. The images I'm sharing are just from the story and such scenes will not be forced on either path.

So how much ntr does this game have and is it avoidable? What's the future looking like for more of it?

Strictly speaking you are stealing someone elses gf/fiance and possibly a few of his wives so potentially quite a lot and would you want to avoid it ?

You can't avoid Anne initially being with Eric but you can shunt it off screen, you'll miss a few sexy scenes but if you're opposed to your future LI getting it on with other people then that's no loss really

When you say you can't avoid Anne initially with Eric, what do you mean by "initially", how far into the game are those unavoidable scenes and I suppose these scenes are because Eric is already with Anne, right? And we have to still her from Eric?

apparently, Anne starts up with Eric really early on... when you have the chance to say that if Eric can come to the living quarters in the evenings or not. Which is odd since they just woke up and found out her Husband she was suppose to love so much had just died in her heart & mind. instead she jumped right into his bed pretty much right after starting to work for him, and the MC & Alice being classed as "Drones" and then confined to their quarters while Lisa is allowed to attend classes at their advanced school.
