VN Ren'Py Shadows of Ambition [Ch.4.5] [AbyssGames]

[AbyssGames]

Also, if everything goes well. There will be an update next week with a chapter 1 rework, fixing some consistency issues in renders swiver , QOL features such as a replay mode, new UI, new transitions and chapter intros, (I tried getting an image gallery in, but it's a lot more work than I originally thought and all the images are available in the images folder anyway).
+ An additional backstory of Sophie as extra content.

Well, finally finished this one, gotta share my thoughts. The art is pretty hot, all the models are great, interesting personalities (all love teasing but they aren't a copy of each other) and stuff, the whole Nyct X and Ooglecorp trama definitely enhances the game and gives a reason to look forward. Downside is that it is a Kinetic Novel, the lack of options and branching seriously limit the "fun" in it.

Anyway, looking forward to the next update to see where this goes. Also, which kind of AI art it is? I have seen a bunch of games lately with really hot 2D AI art.

Hey! Thanks for the review. I know that it being a kinetic novel can be a turn off for people and I apologize for that. With my full-time job, I only have a couple of hours to work on the game. Adding branching storylines and choices that actually change the story, which should be the purpose of them, would require a lot more time and planning for every update. It increases the workload by quite a bit and with the amount of time I can spend on working on this game... it would take me 4-5 months per update... which for the people supporting me on Patreon or who are just interested in the game, would be just too long of a wait. I don't want people to wait too long between updates, so this is the best I can do at the moment.

Hello my friend
MC in this game holds the number 1 rank in blueballing users
He neither NTR'd Ruby nor let Alice suck that brother Kate’s dick
Just kidding, these two developer decisions are excellent and increase the sexual and emotional tension
Just two points:
1: The FMC looks incredible when her hair is down. In fact, when her hair is down, she's easily number 1 among all the girls in this game (just a personal preference)
2: Please give the MC some peace; that yoga class is good for him. I think in a few more updates, he might have a heart attack from being shocked so many times in every scene. While the shocks are great for player immersion in this genre, but the MC's reactions are so exaggerated that they make it a bit unbelievable

Hi! Thank you for your message. Regarding your points:

1. Alice will have lose her twintails. I always had the idea of it being symbolic: When she finally lets go off all her insecurities, she'd let her hair down (literally). So from Chapter 5 onwards, she won't be rocking the classic twintails anymore.
2. It's something I've noticed as well and while doing my rework, I've fixed some of them. Although I do want to include Luke's reactions, but as things progress, he'll be less and less shocked about the things that are happening around him. I thought it was fitting for someone who came from a small town, moving to a big city. Although, I can definitely improve on that still.
   
   This is unrelated, but wanted to show something to look forward to in the rework:

Oh kind of like the Japanese / Chinese tradition of cutting ones long hair to symbolize a new stage of their life? Yeah that would be interesitng.

Hey guys,

Just writing this as I'm about to head to bed. I have some work left on the flashback chapter and still waiting on an animation from the animator, but aiming to release this "small update" this weekend. As previously mentioned, the purpose was to bring the game to a higher standard. Chapter 1 has been retold and in my opinion, made better. A lot of the cringey moments that I wrote... have been removed or reworked. As my writing improved, I think I could do a better job.

Anyway, once that is out the door, I'll be focusing my attention on chapter 5! Thanks for the great suggestions about the volleyball match. I will definitely try to include some of those suggestions! The beach episode will be huge and will be the main part of the episode. I've been teasing the beach for a while now and it's finally time to do it justice at a good point in the storyline. I don't want to spoil everything yet, but it will be pretty wild. No more blue balls for you!

Another thing: I will be hosting a series of polls with 3 bikini options for each of the girls at the beach. I could do the guys too, but let's be honest, nobody gives a fuck about that. I'm curious to see which outfits will win for every girl and will do their body composition the most justice!
These polls will be for Mini-Chad+, so consider subscribing if you want to have a say.

Other than that, I'll be checking in with you all soon with the release of Chapter 4.5.

Are you planning a black bull in the future for Alice?

 

[Dealbreaker]

Sorry, this is nothing against you or your game. I don't find Alice especially insecure here at the beginning of the game, but you are the author of course). Especially in the context of porn games, it could better just be seen as a conscious decision of mature adults in both directions.

Yeah, I do find that hard to portray in a "porn game". Sometimes, to really explain and develop a character, you need a lot of time. I mean the best games that come to mind as an example, have been in development for multiple years and for most of the developers, isn't their first project. I'm still learning as I go. I did notice I tend to bloat text conversations a bit much, which is why I did the rework of Chapter 1. Regarding Alice, using the word insecurities is just what comes to mind. Every person has insecurities, even though they can appear confident in every day scenarios. Alice is someone who is confident when she's together with someone that she knows and trusts, but in situations where she's out of her comfort zone, she struggles, but she's struggling less and less. That's what I wanted to portray and I hope I got that message across. Regarding the writing, it's always going be a work in progress and I try to improve as I go along.
