Ren'Py Unto Starlight [v0.1.1b] [Sano]

[Niuul]

I just can't get behind this kinda sandbox. Game throws you in to it on a weird day where there's no one to interact with for 2 cycles (morning, afternoon, evening, midnight) so you either sleep through it or work at the store. Then you go to classes once or twice a day at various times to raise the stat with the LI. But you don't get any events until you have 5 points with them.

It's just a LOT of bullshit time skipping or repeat nonsense until you have enough stats, then repeat. It might get better later, but the slog to get to even the first event with a LI is so off putting I closed the game.

I can understand how you feel, my design is for the player to actively go and interact with the various characters on the map at various times. I admit that the whole sandbox system is empty and uninteresting right now, and I'll try to improve it. I'm sorry for the bad experience, and I'll make it better when you think of the game again sometime in the future.

I just might not be the target audience. Sandbox is very hit or miss with me. I can admit that the interactions between the characters during the intro scenes were good and the characters were cute (which was my initial attraction to try the game) but the jump to that style of sandbox grinded my enjoyment of the game to a halt.

I'll keep the game watched and give it another go in the future as more stuff is added though.

I don't know if it's a translation issue or what, but I find how MC talks and acts incredibly formal and stiff. It would possibly be understandable, although still annoying, were the character themself from Japan, and thus raised in such a rigid and formal setting. But they're not. The sister who we briefly talk to isn't rigid or formal. Makes it really hard to get into the game

Thank you for posing the question! The root of this problem... Uh... because of who from Japan is me. I'll improve the text to make him seem less stiff. That's also a flaw in a language like Japanese, also a result of my poor English skills.

Interesting, gods, heavens, mystery, Paranormal Investigation Club and so on. That's some good premise of a Japanese Urban Fantasy right there. Let's see where this goes.

 

[DraxisSilencer1000]

Where do I find Nono?

Edit:
Nevermind, go to Streets at Evening or Night I think? Make sure you have met Nylarthes too. Then Hotel gets accessible and you can meet Nono at Midnight.

Lastly, just a question, what are your plans for Nono? Already alarming that she's a prostitute, there may be more to her and she mentioned that she doesn't plan to have sex but if you could details if how would that work with your plans.

For my own, I don't like any involvements pertaining NTR or the like.

Prostitution tag is needed, the Vaginal Sex in here comes from the Soapland found in the Market area.

It doesn't do me any good to hide this, so if you ask, I'll answer. It's also like a tranquilizer for you.

For Nono, who only has the MC as a guest, it's clear that she's about to be fired. And it's only after that that the story with her will officially begin. The story with Nono will be a realistic story that can only be found in contemporary Japan.

Since you clicked in on me, it proves that neither of us likes NTR. Don't worry about it.

This looks interesting, gonna give it a go when there's a bit more content.

 

[bobdillan]

based on that first preview.... is this missing tentacles tag?

 

[bobdillan]

she's a prostitute

That's all you need to know... to avoid em bruv.

enjoy the others skip that one

Like while dev may not have em cheat after they start things with mc (which is extremely unrealistic btw, can't turn a hoe into a housewife)... they probably were doing stuff while knowing MC. Like... bro, it's a prostitute.
What you getting attached to em for?

Not sure anyone's avoidable. Haven't gotten to the soapland yet so I could be wrong but so far it looks like it's going for a LiL type of deal where x event is needed to start y event.
Beyond that that's a silly position at best. I know plenty of people men and women who were total sluts until they found someone to actually settle down with. One girl I grew up with had a body count in the 80s at the age of 14. She's been married now for the past decade, has multiple kids with her husband and as far as anyone who knows her knows hasn't cheated on him once. Got quite a few guy friends who did the same thing, usually on a smaller scale. Just because someone hasn't found a person they're willing to settle down with doesn't mean they aren't capable of settling down.

You confuse lack of opportunity with loyalty, if they could trade up they would lmao.

They always think about their best, not their current XD

The stats don't lie. bodycount is literally the best measure and predictor with the likelihood of infidelity and divorce.

It's not a "silly position" it's an educated one.

80s at 14... bruh... wtf Dude is that guy at the end of a train.
Like holy shit. Give either party options and they'd cheat in a heartbeat.

At that point a prostitute would be a better choice for a wife... cause their bodycount would be lower.

This desperately needs a Gallery Unlock mod... It is sooooo Grind Heavy.. Girls are cute but the effort needed is more than I'm willing to put in.

Ha... ha.... ha HAHAHAHAHAHA you're killing me with this fanfiction. Yeah I'm.... sure that's 100% true.

Bruh.... I only just realised it was 80 at 14... not bodycount of 14

Lmao it's even worse than that, they said "in the 80s" and presumably that number came straight from the horse's mouth - and we all know women tend to underexaggerate the 'real' number so.... yeah this chick (if she even exists) has likely fucked the population of a small city by now.

True... I forgot, you take the number given and times by 3.

And for men you divide by 3.

And yet every single couple I graduated with who got married without fooling around is divorced. By 30 every single couple I know that's managed to stay together for more than a couple years both the man and the woman had a slut phase. Getting married without experiencing what you want in life leads you to a "lifetime" commitment without knowing what you want from it. My own parents marriage lasted 25 years without any infidelity. They'd originally gotten married in their 30s after them both having some pretty major slut phases.

The problem with Reddit isn't that the info is wrong. It's that it's presented with a bias outside of a scientific environment. It's an echo chamber for people with similar views who are cherry picking anything that supports their views. Just because something's been published in a scientific journal doesn't mean it is beyond reproach. Reproach is an important aspect of determining scientific validity and the page you linked only sharing studies reinforcing the poster's own position invalidates their own argument. If they'd shared articles of an opposing nature while appropriately criticizing their methodology, results or research bias then there might be some scientific value to that post. That many of the articles showed a distinct bias on focusing on the women's sexual partner count as well as the women's potential infidelity also brings into question the bias of at least some of the research being shared. All that page really is as it was written is a red/black pill echo chamber for people attempting to intellectualize their hatred of any woman with a better sex life than themselves.

And just for the record if they aren't his then all the fathers must have looked identical because they're all his spitting image. And I can promise you she didn't have a single type, she fucked about half of guys in that town she went to school with. If she was still living her ho life then I'd be expecting those children to be coming out with 4 different skin tones and 3 hair colours each

My own thoughts on this is that there's nothing shocking being shown yet. If I can easily avoid her in the later updates after her event (knowing whether I would still be fine on continuing with her or not), then maybe I'll see where this'll go. That's the only thing that will make me think whether to just ignore her in the future updates or just drop the game altogether.
