VN Ren'Py Race of Life [Act 1 v1.02] [Underground Studio]

[IlikebeingaDIK]

I honestly like those kinds of characters, tbh. Even more so if we have someone like Jasmine/Sage that represents the more crazy and wild type of LI. It's why I like Veronica and Maggie, they're a lot more of the nurturing and loving type of character.

Everyone has their type and what they like to see in a game. I'm more into the slow burn type of LI's myself, such as Alison who is perfectly setup for that. Nothing wrong with wanting something different, everyone's looking for something different after all.

I completely agree. I guess what I'm tryna say is that in my mind, paths become fun with the implications rather than how the LI is portrayed.

Like I'd probably go for the Veronica path if it rewarded me with some interesting drama exclusive to her character (Kinda like Lily or Quinn in BaDIK, Jasmine for RoL) plus you can kinda zigzag between Jas and Allie meanwhile Veronica straight up fucks off early.

Allison reigns supreme tho

Yeah, I feel like the ones with the best character development or story currently are (in no particular order) Alison, Veronica and Jasmine. I wish Nat & Maggie got more. Maggie was mostly an afterthought in 3.1 and 3.2 parts of the third episode.

Maggie has the storyline about her mom ready to be explored way more in Act 2 and she should 100% be the leading character there. Lily might wake up soon but that doesn't mean all the trouble is done with.

Do the main character and Sophie from the publisher's first game look familiar?
They look similar to the main character and Allison from this game...

Can someone share which characters are in the March Wallpaper poll and what are the voting counts so far? Thank you

My (unmodded) saves from the end of 3.1 don't work on 1.02. When I load they give me the end of end of episode 3.2 screen and rolling back takes me to a black screen with no way to roll back further. Is there any way to unfuck this? No way in hell am I playing through 6 paths again

There was Renp'y engine and code changes iirc....this was known well in advance of hitting Steam. There was also an annoying bug on the phone depending on whan your saves were last made.

It is what it is....it really doesn't take that long to redo a save if skipping through using TAB.

how do I check version?

 

[illya11]

hey folks can anyone tell me how to get the kalani kiss at the end of the update?

 

[TonyMurray]

how do I check version?

In game? From the main menu, if you click on "Credits", it will tell you the current version number.

You have to be there on your own, which means you don't call Allie to go with you (probably because you're on the Allie Bad path and have burnt your bridges with her).

 

[Maviarab]

(probably because you're on the Allie Bad path and have burnt your bridges with her).

Not required. Neutral is perfectly fine (which is the path most likely on if stayed behind the very first time to chat and not take Allie home to gain the first 2 points with her).

Right, as Maviarab says. As long as you aren't on her Hate path, you'll have the option to invite Allie to go with you. Just don't invite her. If you are on her Hate path, you shouldn't get the opportunity to invite her, although I personally have never really liked that path much so I'll defer to the experts.

Allie has 3 "states", if you can call them that:

• Hate path: This results in one lewd scene when she invites you to her house for dinner. But cuts off her LI path permanently, I believe;
• Neutral: Acquaintances or perhaps friends; and
• Reconciliation: Working towards, and starting, her LI path

For some of the Kalani scenes, I believe you also need to be on her 'path'. In that you've spent every opportunity you can with her to talk and have tea. I presume you've also done this? I think there's 2-3 scenes you can get with her before this chance, but not sure if they all are required... would have to check the code later.

Positive path is the correct term used by the dev, not reconcilliation. Pedantic I know but it helps we're all speaking the same language to avoid confusion.

You need 8 points to kiss Kalani iirc, so yes, you need to hit every objective with her to the detriment of Allie, which as I said, should put you on the neutral path with her.

Just a little mini-review. While I love the art, the writing, especially the humor and the characters, I just got to the mc thinking they saw Wyatt, who I assume is behind the break in at Allison's and maybe even Lily's accident. I know these are real life issues but that is not what I am looking for in these games. I go to them to escape the drama of real life, which is why I gravitate towards happy go lucky harem or single romance games, with only comedic drama.

So even though I have to give kudos to the dev(s) for the style, characters and writing, this will be a nope for me. I also loved Acting Lessons until it tore me heart out. I am not taking that kind of chance again. Gimme the escapism of simple single romance or drama free harem games.

I will say one more thing before I exit, Amen to this...

How did you even manage to go this far? According to the rest of your review, you should've bailed out right after Lily was confirmed to be comatose for an undefined amount of time.
