Ren'Py Power Vacuum [Ch. 12 Official] [What? Why? Games]

[NachoAndCheez]

You know what? I wanna toot my own horn a bit!!!

I remember saying on like chapter 9 that the Dev going on and on with 'this chapter has double the content of the last one', 'this chapter has as much content as the rest of the chapters combined', 'this chapter has 50% more content' was absolutely unsustainable.

I remember saying that he should really just pick an amount of content and stick with that amount so he could release an appropiate amount of content on a timely manner and yep it was chapter 9 that I said had a good content to dev time ratio, what did I said then? "He can probably get away with doing that 'redoubled dev cycle' maybe twice more, thrice would be pushing it really anything overthat and it will be too much for us and most importatly the dev".

So here we are, waiting on chapter 13, the very chapter where I said it would be 'too much' to do and what did he say? "I've learned my lesson with long dev cycles".

If in his next game he opens up with 'I've learned my lesson on adding characters on every opportunity thus opening up plot threads that could be too close to the end of the story to satisfactorily close on a timely manner' I will feel like fucking Nostradamus.

Whether or not I agree is another matter. The wait is long but I do appreciate WWG sticking with his vision no matter how long it may take. As a player, there's plenty of other games to occupy my time while this is cooking. I honestly prefer a longer wait to play out a full chapter instead of it getting cut in the middle just as things are spicing up. At the very least, through PV, he'll get an idea of how many characters is too much for him and his next game before the new cast members become too much.

 

[Gwimmly]

If there's one thing i know about WWG. is that he doesn't like to reveal things and that things aren't always what they seem.

He is being way too open and with these latest teasers, way too obvious. The surgical scars are on full display this time around. It makes me wonder if he's misleading us. like that Hunter clone isn't actually a brain swap like we might think it is.

So you're telling us there's a chance that it is actually just David in young Hunter's new body?

I see someone has a strong grudge against vanilla

In the last few months I haven't seen anyone complaining about ntr and demanding vanilla,Maximum two or three people (although they didn't even demand less ntr, but were simply unhappy because of the lack of part some vanilla scenes), I even think that most vanilla fans have already come to terms with the fact that this game has more supporters from ntr. So dude, don't start a fuss and don't bring the whiners in here, just enjoy, because everyone has their own genre and taste. Anyone would start complaining if they didn't devote time to their favorite genre, right?

You are right. We Non-NTR fans (atleast me) already come to facts that this now have more NTR fans than vanilla. Yes, I complained and "whined" about this game so many times in this thread before past year, but did my whining changed anything? Nothing. More NTR what ifs released and more bad end ntrs came in main game too. No matter what dev says that vanilla is also important for him etc etc and all that bullshit., we now clearly knew how this game started and how this game is at present stage as we are in the last stage.


But, one advantage is that, dev going to start next game. So it is very helpful for vanilla fans to decide whether to even start playing it or not. Because, the advantage is not there in this present game because many Non-NTR fans have already playing this game from starting and habituated to the Love Interests and dont want to leave this game just because of NTR fans siege.

MAGO-DAG just defended vanilla fans, saying they've mostly stopped complaining. And you supposedly agree with him, but then you start complaining?

When did I complained? I just complained in past and now suggesting vanilla fans to take decision well in next game.

I really like this game, but I have one regret though: I wish What If 3- when MC accepts Hunter's offer- had been more like What If 7... I mean, it would have been nice to see MC and Hunter seducing all the girls Well, who knows, maybe we'll see it in a future What If

I'll just say it's almost over, it's the last update, expect 8-9 NTR scenes in the upcoming update having around 35-40% of the total update, once the update releases would be able to say for certain. I'll pledge on patreon on the dev confirms that upcoming character endings are NON-NTR, since as of now it's only guesses/assumptions and I doubt that WWG gonna leave his NTR fanbase high dry which have a significant contribution to his income.

The dev flat out saying that the epilogues will be non-NTR is now called "assumptions", is it?

I interpret that to mean there will be an NTR ending in Chapter 13 (as well as various other NTR scenes), but no additional NTR content in the actual epilogues (i.e. after Chapter 13).

 

[dartred]

That's how i understood it too.

Why did the game turn into a VN when I used to be able to explore the different rooms

It's been that way for several releases, but you can restore it with the patch. See the first post for the link.

agree some of the what ifs have a lot of potential for more

well He said something that he will continue the WHAT IF!! series after completion of PV so maybe we will have some epilogue what if

 

[ShadowTower456]

Let's hope the new chapter will be released by February

i don't think he said he will continue them. i think he said he might continue them. i'm sure someone else can clarify though since i'm not a patreon member

While WWG was finishing work on Chapter 11 he announced there would be no more What Ifs "for the time being"...

When asked if potential future What Ifs would be related to Power Vacuum or the next game, WWG said they'd probably be bonus content for PV...

Later when WWG announced Dream Scenes as a replacement to What Ifs, he mentioned that What Ifs were "on pause"...
