Ren'Py - Project: Possible [Patch 18a] [Leroy2012 & Muplur]

Disclaimer, I’ll be humbly reviewing – Patch 18a – as an “early review” and Project Possible an “indie game” so I may be lenient on the cons of the game but also, I’ll try to be sort of impartial.

• Dialogues, humors and retorts can be quite gregarious, especially those that mock and ridicule the stupidity or illogical decisions/motives connected to the original Kim Possible series characters’ lore. Ex: The supervillains illogical or impractical actions and quixotic notions of naïve characters (usually Kim Possible) are both humorously mocked.
  • One of my favorites is the goal of ruling the world, how the game developers (Leroy2012 & Muplur) sometimes uses real life examples to mock supervillains.
  • Some of the approaches on how the game ridicules the asinine parts of the original series reminisces of DBZ Abridged in Youtube.
• Characters’ personalities, there is really character development unlike many other games. As how characters develop, I find it natural enough (not forced) when considering most of the characters are still teenagers (mentally not yet fully developed) and “very adult” genre of the game. One thing I want to point out or more of pose a question is the player-character itself, is there some cognitive dissonance or an amalgamation of duality of man? Example: player-character’s tolerance of disrespect and vengefulness when disrespected. Perhaps the story has yet to flesh out the nuances or maybe I’m just looking too deep at this aspect.
• The Grind, the already attached cheats greatly help mitigate the grind of a sandbox genre. I want to point out certain parts of the story need some amount of grinding if one wants to make spontaneous encounters (seem at least) natural like IRL, but I understand there are specific quest/s that some people will find too time consuming if completion requires several random events and their respective probabilities of triggering.
• As for The Artwork, if this was a “paid game” or financially well-sponsored then I would agree with others that the artwork needs improvement and consistency, but it is not therefore in relation to the development team’s background it is adequate and within-margin.
• Lastly, The Story, I left this last because I’m still unsure whether to deem it good, bad or somewhere in between. Although I find it entertaining, I still find its current development very incomplete, hence why I’ll be suspending my evaluation on this specific criteria.

If there was 4.5 stars that would be the score I would give. Sadly considering the options, 4 stars is apt to my score. Keep up the good work Leroy2012 & Muplur.

I have waited a lot before starting this game, and it was worth it. Lot more content than I've expected ! it took me nearly 5 days to complete everything. (Patch 17a)

The writing is fantastic and clever: the protagonist avoid cringe dialogue & the choice you make matters. The whole game feel well constructed, i didn't encounter bugs. The art get better as you play, and the artist doesn't hesitate to draw different angle and framing.

I had some continuity error with scene (characters wearing sexy cloth before the erotic scene then their usual cloth for the scene) but I think it participated to the charm of the game.

Some of Shego story feel it could have happened earlier (i had to nearly finish every other story to progress with her) and it's the only time i felt i had to grind (pass time and wait).

I used the cheat option to get 2000$ at the start of the game and never had to use it again.

Globally I had a great time and I'm looking forward to see the evolution of this game.

Could've been 5/5 but the turboslut that is tara is just too insufferable for me. Literally every dialogue she has is about dicks and how much she likes getting fucked by anything that moves.
I thought that would change after but nope.

Rest of the game and characters are good (only played love route thought) if you can suffer through tara.

Ok, so this game is really good.
Great... no amazing story.
The characters are well-written and drawn.
The scenes are frequent and good.
Not a lot of grind but you will spend 3-4 hours reading and following events.
Had way more fun with this one than expected.

I am still in the middle of the game so i cant definitly say how good the story is, but i very much like the progression.
The best part of the game is the character dynamics. Expecially the mc and Kim are a great combination.

Review of Patch 14.5.

This game is kind of a swing and a miss when it comes down to it. The art is good, and I love the writing. it’s absolutely hilarious, there is a good amount of variety in different routes, and I think it does a good job with the somewhat slower burn for a lot of the characters when it comes to the lewds.
The gameplay side of it is atrocious, which is impressive when you’re talking about a visual novel. It has a sandbox, but because all the characters lines are interwoven, you can only realistically do one quest at a time. This is still not that big of a problem, because there are also random events you can get at different locations if you get there at the right time and are lucky. This is however where the big problem arises: some of these random events are required for you to progress with the story (and nowhere in the game you can find out which events you need and where you can get them). So in order to advance you have to visit every location on the map until you get blessed by RNGsus and you trigger the right event so you can get further in the game. Even worse, story events can be completely random as well, one of the character quests requires you to see ten events. These events are all random, so you have to roll the dice and win ten times in order to complete the quest. I’m not sure if I’m just unlucky, but the game would be vastly improved if the dev just added a flat 30% chance for all random events to trigger, because they just don’t seem to fire for me.

The writing is great though. can't stress this part enough. Otherwise I'd have given it a lower score than 3.

I cannot reach new events even with cheats enabled. That says alot about this game. After hours wasted on nothing but skipping days and repeating dialogs I give up, its not gameplay.

- sandbox, where only one quest available at any time. Everything else is locked behind some unknown progression requirements.
- endless grind for money or just wasting whole weeks to get a single event trieggered.
- even with cheats its impossible to buy more stocks at work or expensive item at the store.
- more teasing and empty talking than sex scenes.

+ sex scenes are ok. A few repeating frames with hot dialogs.

Adding sandbox just for the sake of making game longer is bad practice. Sandbox is good for freeroam in the city, repating unlocked scenes thorugh interactions with girls in game instead of gallery. But here it barely ever happens.

I feel like Shego in the basement: there is literally nothing to do, because no events triggered for weeks. While half of the quests are still shown as ???, which means they are somewhere in the future.

The art style is just amazing, in the beggining was a little hard but it just kept improving to the point where its just magnificent.
The ambientation of the game is really enjoyable too, personally don´t like the ´´false´´ options of choice tho, but that is my personal taste. The game makes you feel like you are the protagonist doing everything, think about the thrill of power lol, really a amazing job Leroy2012 did here.
Gonna talk about the characters too (yes i know they weren´t writen by him, since is a parody) but they are really well writen, with periodically transformation and ´´corruption´´, don´t really like the games where the fml just transforms in a slut from 1 dialogue, so was very pleased when didn´t find it here.
Hope that in the end they all end up in the protagonist house ^-^ (that would be a personal request hahaha), I think that you already would do it tho.
Excellent game, please keep with the good work!!

(Sorry if the english is bad, not my native language)

I really enjoyed this game, and spent quite a few hours on it. Usually in renpy games i tend to skip a lot of dialogue, but for some reason this game was able to keep my attention. It is very grindy to get to the good parts, but I was pretty entertained duing it atleast.
The gfx is 4/5, and Kim looks different than I would have liked, but it's still good and not same dax/whatever models as every other game.

Unbiased Review of Project Possible

Pros
-Cheats that aren't a mod. Especially on Sandbox which is a dying genre. Helps mitigate the grind.

-Good amount of content so far. Wide variety of characters, even ones that are barely seen in the show.

-One nice thing is that the characters send you photos of themselves which feels more intimate than just unlocking random renders like most games.

Cons
-The art is very forgettable and lacks any sort of substance. It is very inconsistent and lifeless at times. Which is something many 2D games face when tackling expressions and poses. Kim looks like a different person each time, matter of fact that applies to everyone in this.

-Dialogue is very poorly written, it feels like the game should've just been linear because everything you say in this game is just a net positive. There's almost no use of options because the characters and story will still progress the same exact way.

-Sandbox? Seriously? That genre is very dated and hence the dev included cheats because it is a chore to progress days and clicking on the same places and characters each time.

Overall it delivers a subpar porn version of KP but lacks severely in every department. Dialogue is practically meaningless along with interactions. There's nothing arousing about any of it sadly especially when you have to repeat days just to get a very poorly drawn render. If you're looking for a KP porn game this is the only one available, if you want to find 'good' KP adult content you're better off with Jab comix and fanart.

This game is awesome.

The main heroine (or manipulatable slave) is very likeable.

Down side so far is there seems to be no way to refuse certain side girls on certain things or you can't progress (like Monique's date for example). Art is a bit inconsistent in certain places.

There is also no pregnancy content planned afaik which is a shame especially for a game like this, whether you decide to go the love or corruption route. Author did acknowledged that it's by far the most requested content so hopefully he/she changes their mind.

This is a great game and you can feel the effort and passion the designers put into it. It has some of the (for my taste) most erotic scenes I ever played in these games and it just barely scratched at the full sex scenes in a lot of character stories so far. What makes it special too, is that none of the character stories is boring, and I never had the feeling, that i just have to get through this stuff to met the other interesting or funny girls again. That is because they are all written well and it is obvious that the developer is a fan of the franchise himself.
Pros: Well written characters, slow and sensual buildup, the girls are sexy but are in look and character rooted in the originals. BDSM stuff in which you can understand, why the girls do what they do or let them be handled. (of course all of it is still from a porn universe point of view)
Cons: Sometimes you feel a little lost and cannot understand why some events trigger or how you have to trigger them. Also some items are offered far to early in the storyline, so when you buy them, you ask yourself for hours, when you can finally use them. Especially when money is a rare source and the only grinding part of the game. It could also be more clear how much of the nacho shop shares are viable to buy.

But in the end, it is an excelent game so far with just one big problem.
I WANT MORE!

Great game. One of the better parody games there is, and definitely the best KP one. If I were to complain about anything it would be that it can be a little tricky to figure out how to trigger new quests and content sometimes, but not knowing also gives you more of a surprise, which is nice. Most of the time, quests flow easily from one to another, and once a quest is found it's easy to track in the quest log. The content is sexy. The escalation pacing is good. I like the characters and writing. Recommended. 4.5/5, and I rounded up.

pretty cool, pretty fun.

not too over-the-top

great graphics, okay story, the grind doesn't distract too much, all in all a really enjoyable game. Development is really fast, Gameplay is pretty good (story with not much in between)

although the phone kind of annoys me. There has to be a better way of making a Menu. I get that it's a fun idea because we're cosplaying a "how are you, fellow kids?", but i just find the idea of making menus into phones not that good in general. I personally prefer a top-bar with good old fashioned buttons. But i can absolutely see, why you would do that as they did it.

4/5 overall, but very good. Some Routes have less content than others but continued development will be wonderful.

On a phone screen some of the characters will straight up body-block their own dialogue. I find this amusing but it is a problem to be addressed.

Theres also some small dialogue issues. Only once or twice did I see it crop up, but during a couple scenes a character will talk as another character. Very seldomly there is some spelling mistakes, but we're talking like one or two words out of the vast majority of writing here.

Sex scenes are great! Dicks are a little strange looking but the girls are hot and they all come across as believable porn parody versions of themselves.

While I was playing, the outline for Kim's house on the weekends would highlight blue, this would usually mean there's an objective to do but I could never interact with it until I finally got invited to her house. So be on the lookout for that.

Great game, keep it up.

TL;DR: Has great potential but still needs some polish.

Honestly, this game has some of the best-written dialogue I've read in a long time. Recently I've been so sick of porn game dialogue that I just skip everything, but this is one of those cases where the writing is surprisingly entertaining. The lines aren't too long but still convey what they're supposed to.

The characters are ALL very endearing and captivating, urging you to keep reading their quirky lines. My favorite is Tara, who is both the most unhinged and most adorable character I've seen in a while (probably ever). I don't know if the author intended for her to be such a psycho from the beginning, but it was definitely effective. There is not a single boring character in this game, and you'll feel like bedding all of them. Not only are they hot and funny, but they also have a surprisingly human side filled with nuances that will make you feel attached.

By all means, this game has the perfect foundation to be one of the best porn games in recent times. I'm not exaggerating.

That being said, the dialogue and characters are where the compliments end.

The game is grindy, and not even in an engaging way. Having to repeat the same actions over and over again just to get money and buy key items is not fun. It would be much more fun if we somehow found some of those items. For example, I don't see why we need to buy a book about slave training when we could conveniently find it in the school's library. We could also acquire things like handcuffs and blindfolds from other characters, like Tara or Ann, in order to use them on Kim and Bonnie. The same thought would apply going forward. Instead of having to buy everything, maybe we could get them in more organic ways, almost like an adventure.

The whole thing where we're blocked from using our fortune is also pretty constraining from a writer's perspective. It could limit your creativity in the future, as you're basically limiting what you can do in order to create a reason for the MC to work.

Another thing that is VERY constraining is the side effects of the rejuv-inator. It raises the stakes, sure, but I don't see a reason to do that in this kind of game. I honestly don't like where the story is going, as it seems like we'll eventually be forced into a life-or-death choice with no in-between. I usually go for the corruption route, but this aspect of the story makes it seem like a love path would basically be a death sentence to the MC. Again, it limits the writer's freedom to write different outcomes. As it stands, this looks like another case of "smut game gone emotional," which can be either very good or very bad.

The characterization of the MC and his goals is also very flawed. In the first "act" we quickly forget our goals and basically become an errand boy for the girls. It's less like we're planning and orchestrating things, and more like we're just going with the flow and being hot. Currently, the game lacks an identity.

First of all, there should be more missions. WAY more missions. Kim Possible is all about getting out of slippery situations and saving the day, but as it stands, this game is just one big fetch quest. There should be moments where we actually help Kim and solve problems instead of getting laid just for being hot. Maybe use our evil mind (or money) in order to create devices that can help us both in and outside of missions. Maybe start our own small business instead of working at a fast food restaurant. Maybe use our contacts in order to privately orchestrate situations that leave Kim in a vulnerable state, only to be saved by us. Seriously, I could give feedback like this all day. There's just so much potential in this game, but that potential is being overwhelmed by mindless grind and constraining narrative decisions.

In my opinion, the entire first part of the game should be reworked, or at least from the part where Kim takes us on the first mission. The sudden shift in tone when we almost die is way too abrupt and leaves a lot do be desired. I don't think we should be forced to either completely love or completely corrupt Kim and the girls. There should be a "loving corruption" path based on how we treat them, basically a give-and-take relationship where we keep them dependent while still giving them love. Also, for those who like love routes, I don't think the love aspect should be so bittersweet. It kind of ruins moments that would otherwise be very cute. Also, Kim's corruption is pretty dry. Instead of corrupting her through lust and depravity, we basically just use her love for us in order to make her do lewd things.

Also, just putting out there, I honestly think it would add extra flavor to the game if all the girls had interactable and romanceable moms. I don't even care if they appear in the canon material. I just think it would add a layer of humanity to the girls while also giving us more milfs and threesome options. Just saying.

Anyway, I'm rambling. In summary:
>Give the MC a more active role in the story
>Remove the narrative limitations
>Rework the first part of the game
>Make the love sweeter and the corruption more depraved

That being said, still a very entertaining game with hot and nuanced moments. Definitely one of a kind. It just needs extra work in certain areas.

Summary:

Familiar characters, funny writing, sexy cartoon art, and more plot and continuity than this sort of thing really merits.

Story:

A old nemesis re-enters the Kim Possible universe in an unexpected way, and works to wreak havoc on Kim and her friends.

Characters:

They're exactly who you think they are, talking like you'd expect them to...except, turned up to 11. The characters are distinctively written, with just the right balance between teen angst and bitchy bravado. The sprite art is cute with poses straight out of the Ren'Py style manual, the color palette is spot-on, and the stories are at least as sensible as any in the actual series. Not saying that's a high bar, but still...

The MC is a chad, but for a reason. The dialogue and interplay between him and the other characters is quite entertaining, and the character growth (on all sides) is quite welcome.

Sex:

It's good cartoon art, with pan effects standing in for animation, but recycled a bit more than desirable. Nonetheless, the writing is sexy and the scenes are generally hot. A bit of kink shows up, mainly in the maledom vein - appropriate for the MC.

Environment:

The custom images have a common look and style, making the game much more cohesive than many. Day and night are represented in the scene graphics as well as the clock, which is nice. Sound is very basic, however.

Playability:

The game is standard Ren'Py and has evolved greatly over time, with better use of icons and quality of life features (like a usable and helpful quest log). It should continue to improve, but it's already pretty good. End-of-content spots are clearly marked, as are quests with no new paths.

Nonetheless, there's room for improvement, as the game requires a certain amount of waiting around for next events that isn't necessary for any real game purpose. Wait until the next day? No problem. Wait for three days (or a week) between events? That's just unnecessary grind, particularly given how quickly dialogue trees run out for most characters.

Tl;dr: Very nicely scripted homage to the show, and a fairly hot little porn game to boot. Highly recommended.

Really awesome characters, original art and storytelling. It's honestly one of the top 5 games I've ever played even though it's not complete, and some of the menu options are a bit clunky. Looking forward to more content for all the characters.

Very promising project. One of the very few games where I personally liked every character without exceptions. Solid storylines, gorgeous art. Absolutely love the slowburn, in my opinion creates expectation and makes all the scenes more deserved. Will closely follow the development of the game and congratulations to the author with an excellent first project. Please do not stop.

TL;DR: Game is designed to be fan service, it does it well and even keeps within the bounds of the KP universe quite well. Girls are fleshed out with different personalities and "paths", game isn't grindy, dev is active and constantly listening to feedback and providing help. Highly recommend if you're a fan of corruption and want a KP parody that has a good balance of comedy and 'edge'. You feel like a (smart) KP Villain in this one. Think Shego's intelligence with Drakken's motivation, instead of the other way around.

This is a fan service game. That's the first thing you have to understand going into it.

In the same way that Kim Possible (the show) has a lot of ridiculous assumptions (everyone just accepts that she's a superhero, she gets zero special treatment for it, Ron is a bumbling mess that for some reason is her sidekick despite having zero qualifications for the job, Rufus is a talking mole rat, Shego has green hand ray powers and everyone just accepts it, etc. etc.), this parody has a lot of ridiculous assumptions (the girls are all sexually frustrated, they're all rather selfish in seeking MC's attention (and don't care how it affects the other girls, and in Ann's case, her husband AND daughter), Senior is basically a Chad who exudes charisma from every pore and has a massive dick (which is basically a porn staple, but come on, Senior was always a Chad)).

Some people are taking issue with that and giving the game a bump down in reviews due to that. It's not the only issue it's being bumped down for, but it's a big one.

Something else to understand is that the dev is VERY active (currently, at least) in the comments here providing help and taking insight from feedback. That's rare. I fully expect the lesser annoyances to be fixed going forward, but time will tell.

The questing system is a bit annoying, it would be nice if a clearer way to progress was given, such as a building being highlighted when an objective occurs there, or the quest log (which dev has said will be revamped soon) had more clear instructions. The RNG factor in triggering some of the quest events is nifty from a dev standpoint, but can be frustrating when you keep rolling "no" - though you can kind of circumvent that be rolling back and re-engaging the trigger area most times. This wasn't enough to bump it down a star for me, though. Especially with how helpful the comments and the dev himself has been.

I also don't agree with some of the plot movement (there's a 'big moment' that happens early on that kind of info dumps a whole lot of exposition as to Senior's condition that felt forced and unnecessary to me), but again, not enough for me to bump the rating. The story, by and large, is very coherent.

Okay, on to the good stuff:

The writing is spectacular. The dialogue rarely feels forced, which is usually a huge red flag for games here.

The premise, once you understand this is pure fan service, is incredible if you're a fan of "corrupting the heroine/innocent/whatever." It's a very slow burn, but each girl has different 'barriers', some of which aren't really sexual barriers (you advance to actual sex pretty quickly with one of the girls, but there are other moral and mental barriers involved with her that serve as the progression driver), so the dev has balanced sexual "advancement" quite well after you get into game.

As the title art suggests, the game is going for a male dom harem route, primarily. But the girls still have a personality. And they have DIFFERENT, true-to-the-show (more or less) personalities. Kim is innocent, Monique is high fashion and a bit high maintenance, Bonnie is a bitch, Shego is Tsundere, Ann is repressed, and so on.

The game has an edge to it that most games of this genre lack (like Something Unlimited, for instance, which kind of falls flat on feeling like a villain in my opinion, the "mind control" tech in that game just feels lazy).

In THIS game you have to work on actively corrupting each girl, and each girl has a very different corruption route, filled with high school drama, repressed feelings, moral obligations, and everything in between.

It still has good comedy, but you're playing the bad guy, and it feels like you're playing the bad guy, even though it has some classic Senior/Junior KP humor mixed in.

The game has yet to reveal what the end game will be exactly, but it has hinted at corruption and possible subservience. If that's your jam, and you are looking for a KP parody along with it, I can't recommend it more. The artstyle might take some getting used to, but you get over it pretty quick, and the beginning is pretty slow, but once you make it past the opening exposition, the game really opens up in a way that feels familiar for training games, without feeling as grindy as most of them.
