Ren'Py Hikari: First Interlude [v0.03.09p] [Hikari-Comics]

[DrFree]

...Just like MC?

If you play a game with the harem tag, you don't exactly expect the MC to be with one woman.
What a silly comparison.
This really says a lot about ntr harem defenders.
I would be ok with all this if this was avoidable, but let's bring up Desert Stalker as someone else did:
There are virgin heroines that never touch/touched another male, unless specifically told by MC.
That alone makes it infinitely more attractive as an harem game.
The MC is also a top tier man in their setting, that gets benefits specifically because he's so good at a vital role for his setting.
And absolutely none of that comes from him being a virgin before marriage, it comes from his other qualities.
In comparison, the girls are valued not only in duty (have his children and support him in aspects other than his role for the setting), but in sheer loyalty and exclusivity in their relationship to Him.
He's their one and only, and that's a given, because dude's the top dog around.
It's part of the power fantasy that "man being good at something = rewarded with something men want" aka exclusive relationships with chaste women.
I'm trying my best here to explain such a basic premise as to what makes harem attractive.
I get a lot of shit from other harem fans because I'm actually ok with the harem members getting it on with each other, because I like a good show on the sidelines, but having an ugly bastard around to fuck the women you're supposed to want exclusivity with doesn't even begin compare.

Thanks for this new update, but how can you win the mini-game, If i cream-pie = game over, if i get 35+ and better then Krish = game over. So basicly it Krish who has to win or what? Nvm tried that too, seems no matter it game over on all 3 results. So would be nice to know how to actualy win this mini-game.

...sigh. Get Krish to hit 35 points first. Or do cream pie with fewer points. Sasa is supposed to be in there furiously trying to make him cum first so she dun have to... yeah.

 

[hopelesslol]

unavoidable ntr... pass but the cgi are good i hope this will work ^^

 

[-FibaG-]

hope this game have a proper netorare route and not a bad endings ntr.
maybe some sharing route that you can share your girls with the captain hook.

Well strangely when I did that with Ayre, I still lost, but with the dark elf or Chloe it worked and won, the dragon girl also won but she is scary lol, she wants you to make her pregnant, although that dangerous for her if you cum inside her. So geuss I won't mess with Ayre anymore.

When talking with Kaminari, she gives some list about the ship status, but part of it can't be shown as it goes outside the screen, so best try to seperate that in several text blocks.

Yeah, we'll call that a bug-report. I'm not great with Ren'Py so I had to code it x4, so when I updated it maybe I missed a line... sigh... I suck. I'll check it out. Thank you.

You don't suck lol, you really did already a great job on fixing it and I just want to point it out to help, nobody is perfect. I made mods for other games, but don't ask me how to work with ren'py or rpgm, so don't feel bad if make a mistake, we all do it from time to time and we can only learn from it.

Compressed. It would be about 3GB.

i played the game, very nice, didnt play the first part, but i can understand a bit. the only problem is the game have too many "deadlock's, the choices are there, but if you dont choose the "right" one. game over. i think this is a problem, for me at least.

another thing, in my playthrough. i didnt see many of the the images on the post, i miss the options or they are not in the current version yet!?

Sorry to hear that. All the preview images are in this version yes, there are however, many many... many... branches. The game overs will send you back just far enough to make different choices on the immediate path, or following the chapter 2 game, it can send the player back before all the major choices in chapter 2.

 

[Hyren Vex]

ty for your reply. i will play again to see if i can see all the brances. good luck in your work/game, as i say, its very nice.

 

[Talmadge]

Okay. Just started playing. This starts out talking about being in a battle. Finding Hikari and all. Is this a part 2 of something? I'm a little lost. Thanks!!

 

[Azsouth]

True.
But your fixation on virginity - or even exclusivity - have nothing to do with it, now does it?

And 80% of them are not. ...What?
Your own example - that you yourself chose to give - disproves your whole point.

I don't think you actually understood what i said, but thanks for telling me there's a way to avoid the whole sharing competition altogether.
Maybe I'll try the game after all. I stayed away since most complaints made it seem like it's not optional at all, that one of your girls end up fucking the dude regardless.
For the "80% don't" point: it's simple. Those are basically side chicks. The harem is the family you made at home. Hell, as lkng as the others around that weren't virgins stay exclusive to mC. The harem point still stands.
As for the "virginity has nlthing to do wth it" it's literally related to my exclusivity point. If you're the first and only, it's literally as exclusive as it can get.
That's why I said you don't seem to understand my comment, and why I said there that this is such a basic concept that it shocks me I have to explain it.
Virgin > exclusive > side chick > random quicky is basically how you put the priorities in an harem themed game.
You're fine without the last two, but the more of the first, the better, and at minimum, enough of the second types, since the point is exclusivity.

It was a comic first. I tried to front load anything important from it but yeah, most people (I'm one of them) that just grabs a VN and click-click-clicks through to get the bewb shots, will be confused by what this became. You gotta read, be confused, charge through. It starts to come together... Or it will I hope. I'm clearly not a good writer. XP

It's a bitch yeah... I do have an idea about Super Condoms... This is my first attempt at a VN, I mean for this to be part of a much larger story.

Funny thing is. I don't play these for the "bewb shots". LoL. I prefer games with plot. To me, the sex can be secondary (unless the plot IS sex). So I didn't know what was going on, but I read through it, so I get the premise of what is happening. And, so far the writing is good. Honestly, I haven't played much, because I wanted to know exactly what was going on with the beginning before I went too far in. Just in case there was a part one (under a different name) to play beforehand.
Thanks for the info! Now I can just play and learn as I go.
