VN Ren'Py The Scheme of Betrayal [v0.3] [Frxnz]

[TonyMurray]

I'm just putting together my character cards for this game. I don't know what it is about Sophia, but I just really like her. Am I the only one? Doc is really pretty too, I hope we get her name at some point...

It would be very interesting to look at all the cards if possible

Did he actually say to you it was never planned to be added? Way back in the early posts of the thread (page 2) he said:

I'm not going to bother saying anything more about it, and you should consider doing the same. The dev has no reason to change what he's doing, so you're fighting a losing battle.

He told me in the dms on this site, it was never meant to be allowed, it was just supposed to be about Vincent. After complaints he changed it. It was clarified in the Dms, I can post a pic later if you want, can't screeshot it, cause of website rules.

If he changed this, I just want a temp name for beginning, until name change. I don't wnat Vincent, so I will persist regardless, might even be a little nicer in review.

 

[Frxnz]

The name change was mentioned even after the prologue was released. I specifically stated that it will be implemented in the future. I have absolutely no understanding why this childish whining has been going on for two days now. Nobody cares as much as possible about your desires, who you want to be, how many names you have in your life. For the last time I'm going back to your useless posts and the posts of those who are not smart enough to understand one simple thing - changing character name at the very beginning of the game will never be implemented, because it's impossible on the level of the story. One more thing: it's not your story, it's not about you, it doesn't concern you and it never will. I don't owe you anything and you are of absolutely no importance to me, so absolutely all your wasted letters are meaningless. Let's end on that wonderful note, good luck

Please don't listen to these people who want to ask you to put things inside the game. I had a game that I really liked and it was abandoned because a guy threatened the developer if he didn't put ntr in the game he would expose his personal data. I really love this game and I don't want it to be abandoned (Detective Necro)

You don't have to worry about that, stopping development is out of the question

Here's my post with them in. I only include girls who are given names in the game (Doc is a slight exception, but it's given as the name she wishes me to know her by, so I've gone with it).

The Scheme of Betrayal by Fronz

I played this game a little while back and thought it looked fantastic, but it had some language issues, with Russian dialogue left in the game on a few occasions. Now the new update (0.3) has been released, I gave it another go from the start and I’m pleased to say those issues have been resolved (except for one that the dev is going to sort out).

This is definitely a slow burn game. It’s not one to go for (at the moment at least) if you’re looking for lots of nudes and sex scenes. So far, there are two sex scenes and a small number of additional nudes, but those are mostly nip slips rather than anything more intentional. I didn’t actually like the sex scenes that much – the animation looked a little weird on the blowjob in the second of these, and neither scene was that long.

That aside though, the girls are great – or at least, they look great. A couple of them are definitely of questionable character, but I guess that’s in the name of the game. The story is a bit slow in places, and I would say too slow sometimes. Dealing with an MC with amnesia can be a bit problematic, but here I don’t think it was handled brilliantly, with some odd dialogue and choices made by all.

So far, it’s not my favourite story, but depending on how the next couple of updates go, it could turn out to be a good one. There’s definitely potential there, if the dev can reach it. At the moment though, it’s definitely the girls who carry this game, and so long as we see more of them (a lot more, in some cases), I’m okay with that for the time being.

How did the overall score drop from 3.5 to 3 after I made a 5-point review haha

 

[MiltonPowers]

Finished my playthrough now, and although there were some parts (perhaps too many parts) that I thought were a bit slow, I enjoyed it overall. The graphics look great, and there are some really nice women here that I hope we get to see plenty more of. The story definitely has me intrigued!

When I played the previous update, I did notice a fair few technical errors in the writing, with some Russian remaining in the dialogue and Laura's name being changed to "Lora" a few times, with one exception that I found (in the spoilers) these have been taken care of now. There are still a few typos here and there, and some funny little translation mishaps, but otherwise it's mostly fine in that sense now.

Some specific feedback for Frxnz below:

Spoiler

Dry-Cleaning must be a 'where you're from' thing. We have the interiors of cars either dry-cleaned or steam-cleaned. Valeted would mean that someone parked the car for us.

I have no idea what happened at the end here.

But I guess it's time to remake the signature with Mona instead of Ashley.

Yeah. I needed to play again to get her path now, since dev 'screwd' the other 2 LI's. I hope he don't try to make some redemption arc for them now.

About the plot, someone got a good explanation a few pages back.

I tried to find a US alternative to "valeted" (I know you're in Aus) because I know it's also used for someone parking the car, and apparently valeted is used for cleaning there too, but also "detailing". I couldn't find anything for dry-cleaning cars though.

nice update

 

[NewSeal]

Now this is how you write a story for a VN with porn in it, and not a porn VN. I'm really engaged and can't wait to play the next chapter. Excellent writing with interesting twists, congrats to the dev.

 

[burbero]

When I was asked to write a name at the end of the episode, I thought that it was actually the MC's memory coming back and the name we were going to write was his birth name, so in that case the name Vincent must be fake. But that's just my opinion.

I wondered something along those lines too. Since the Amnesia we only have the words of others that we probably shouldn't trust that our name is Vincent (or maybe our codename is Vincent).

There didn't seem to be much thought about it - it wasn't like a "I don't know, what could my name be, I'll just say..." situation.

What was it that attracted you to the doctor?

I can't really put my finger on it, she's just really pretty.

 

[MagicMan753]

I think you misunderstood what he said to you at that moment, the name change was planned but later in the story not at the beggining as you thought.


Again, if so, this game isn't for you. Learn to deal with it

I am learning to deal with I just don't want Vincent to be constantly be brought up, after we correct the girls of our name, is all, I think its a pretty resonable request, considering where I was the last two days. I am fine with a misunderstanding or two, but not constant referral to Vincent.



Also this is what he said:

"Hi. I saw your post about wanting to be able to change the name of the main character. I've seen similar messages since the prologue was released about a year ago. I try to listen to everything that players write and try to do my best to keep most of the players happy. My game never meant to allow for a character name change, because this story is about a specific person named Vincent.
After a while, a lot of people asked that I add the ability to change the name and I did. I did it in a way that was technically possible to do. I don't have the option to add a name change feature at the beginning of the game just because the story doesn't have it. I can't change the initial plot vector, but for you and those who asked for this feature I have changed the future plot."

What did i misunderstand here, this is part of a message in my dms, so you and everyone stop calling me a liar when I mention this. I'll even add a picture later, if you want more confirmation.
