Ren'Py Harvesting Corruption [v0.05] [JuicyGenieGames]

[Nuverotic]

I wish I could say it's an fantastic game, but right now, there is literally nothing, it has the makings to be great, but the sandbox is extremelly off-putting, the lack of directions its also infuriating because you don't know what to do, every little cutscene progressed I got it was "I just stumbled upon" after clicking on the 2479785 other locations, not pleasant to go through, can't imagine being any better if UI is overhauled compromising the saves.
Idea: Maybe a diary to help on what to do or a character face on the world map, or a quest tracker (with step by step, progression bar).
Real talk: I dunno if presenting this demo in this state was a good idea, I understand your good intentions, but as I got hooked in one aspect (characters) there was another 2 (sandbox, no quest track) that drove me off, and my final feeling was "maybe I'll check this again in 6-12 months"

Well it's good to see Joe Rogan plays adult games.
That being said, you're playing version 0.03 of the game so yes, there is not a lot here. Takes a LONG time to make content.
In the next update there is a storymode that let's you bypass the sandbox part of the game. You'll be missing a ton of stuff by playing it but for those who just want the main story, it's there.
Character Face on the world map is actually a great idea. I'll add that.

It's always the cheapskates with the biggest laundry list of demands and sense of entitlement.

Take a bath with a toaster, Tanzie.

So requesting the developer to not mislead people and lie about the game content is a "laundry list of demands and sense of entitlement" huh? What a joke.

 

[Tanzie]

When people look up those tags, I want them to know this game will have them. Not see that my game contains "masturbation" and a "female protagonist" and decide it won't be a game they'd like. What a stupid way to do things. If you look at the game before downloading it for just half a second, you'd see it's in version 0.03. If you can't figure that out then you should probably spend less time online attacking people for the free content you received and more time educating yourself about how game dev works.

That's not how tags work, you are literally lying and misleading people. People need to know what's currently in the game before downloading it to try it out, nobody cares about what's in some guy's imagination, they only care about what they will experience playing the game, which is why new tags are added to games that are in development as new content has been added. But whatever, good luck to you, I'll just put you and your game into my ignore list and everyone's happy.

EDIT:

Before I go away permanently, here's something for you to "educate yourself" with...

Rules

1. You must specify at least 3 tags.
2. Do not use tags that aren't currently available in-game/comic even if the creator says they'll be available in the future.
3. The OP written tags/genre, should be properly formatted with uppercase letter for the first letter and separated by a comma.
4. Tags included in the thread should also be included in the OP and vice-versa.
5. Tags in the OP should not include the following.
   

   Memes: epic fail, lolwut, over 9000, pomf, sup mugi...
   Opinionated/Prejudiced: cute, extreme, funny, bad writing, gross, hot, garbage, nice, not bad, sad, scary, terrible...
   Common/Vague: straight, all sex, semen...

Can you complain any more? I don't think you've left enough posts crying and complaining here.

There's nothing misleading about my game. Those are the tags that this game will have. If it's a rule, I'll go look into it. But you didn't come here saying, "Hey, just thought you should know, the rules say this..." What you did was come here acting like a douchebag, cussing and complaining.
No one cares. No one appreciated your comments. You've done yourself ZERO favors except showing what kind of person you are. You're another leech, complaining about free content. And yes, that would be self-entitled. "Oh no, I played a free game and it didn't have a tag in it I wanted yet because it's only version 0.03... OMYGOD THE TRAVESTY!!! I WANT MY MONEY BACK!"

lol. Go make your own game dude. And don't play mine. I'm not here to pander to people like you. I'm an indie dev, and I don't have to take your shit. And as for your last post, THANK GOD! I am absolutely OVERJOYED that you won't be playing my game. lol

Bro I still can't believe how much hate the game is getting in the teaser version
Look at the notes, look at the comments here and you'll get the answers, it's not difficult...
First of all, it should be noted that this game is being made by ONE person ALONE who is making a game for the first time, and yet, in my opinion, he is doing a great job, he has a great idea, he is on the right track...

So relax, the bugs will be fixed, the content will come THIS IS THE FIRST VERSION

Thank you thank you! I'm trying my hardest. I'm putting every ounce of my being into this. At the sake of my own family sometimes. I see the horror stories of other devs milking their patreons for years releasing updates once or twice a year with as much content as I put out in a month and I think to myself, "No way, that'll never be me." and I hope that will help me stand out. I mean of course there's the game too, I hope that will make me stand out too. lol. I feel like I've written some great characters and a really unique story so we'll see in the end.

Thank you very much! I am certainly trying my hardest. I'm glad you like it. Truly.

I know I have zero filter on my mouth and probably shouldn't respond to trolls but I'm a TRUE advocate against censorship and that includes me censoring myself when someone needs to get a piece of my mind. lol. I won't take shit, but I'll certainly treat everyone else with respect, and give as much back to the community as I can in this process.

Well, I've only heard of a couple doing that. And the dev's I know all work really hard on their games... But yea, it is a problem with some of them.

NEW MAP!


So the temporary map was awful and I couldn't stand looking at it anymore. So for the past 24 hours I've been working on this one. I think I'm done now. What do you think?

I'm going to change how the map works a bit too in game. First of all, you now have a little Annika head that shows you where you are on the map. And instead of being able to click any little area, like a specific cabin or trail, instead you'll click the "Cabins" and be taken to the "Cabins Area". You won't be able to click on trails anymore or go straight to the backyard. Instead, you can click on the house or the stable or the horse pen and you'll go there.

What do you think?

 

[Siren222]

Gonna wait until the finished product, because this looks like it's going to be an absolute banger. Don't wanna spoil it for myself

I don't blame you. It's a deep story. Lots of twists and turns. All driven by the players choices. VERY different outcomes. VERY different playthroughs. Absolutely LOADS to do in game when you're not just running the main story. Yes, there are "side quests". And to make it so people don't have FOBO, Fear of better options, when making a choice in game that could change everything, I've written in a lore friendly New Game Plus, and your gained points, get to go with you.

 

[Alley_Cat]

FOMOOBO?

 

[Nuverotic]

FOMOOBO?

Exactly. More options or better options.

My opinion, a good solution! I wouldn't mind if moving using the map was removed completely more precisely,for map to be there only as a navigation (if the plan is to expand the map much more).
But if you want to leave the movement with the help of the map, then this is a very good solution!

Yea I got it all working like a charm EXCEPT for the little Annika head... I'm trying to figure out what I'm doing wrong that her head isn't showing up anywhere on the map. Once I figure this out, the map will be done completely. After that, I'm doing the two new scenes of door knocking and window peeping and then I'm dropping the release on Patreon. In two weeks, maybe a week, I'll drop that release here on F95Zone.
