Naughty House

I usually won’t play much that isn’t Ren’py. For a reason; I hate harem with time limits of 30 days just to guarantee to make you as the player fuck up. The notion of trying a game with a 10 DAY TIME LIMIT says to me and probably more players in general, the Dev needs to seriously rethink their life choices. The point of Harem is NOT to limit a time frame to GAIN the fucking harem. It’s to bond and progress with the women the Player Chooses, as suits their tastes and playstyle. How. The FUCK. Is this so hard a concept for so many of you?!?

A Harem – and this is why I love the genre when it’s done correctly – is very much like an RPG in that it’s not about a “speedrun” to the finish. It’s about how you get there, and who you WANT to take with you, along the way. There are way, WAY too many Devs who think that just because they rendered a character – IE they did the work on it, which by the way is their damned job – we should as the audience automatically want to pursue even the worst looking or abject assholes. Harem is NOT Pokemon (barring lewd parodies…) and even in that game you pick your favorites; and you train the ones that work best for what you want to do. You do not “gotta catch ’em all”

Hell, most harems should absolutely not need a “walkthrough.” At all. Because the choices should be from the start: Do you want a Harem – Yes, No? (If No, that locks in a single romance path as the Dating Sim)

= Do you want Pregnancy Content: Yes, No? (If I have to explain this one…)

From then on it’s – Do you want to Fuck/Breed X girl: Yes, No? (Read directly above) * Impregnation as an option should also ALWAYS be at the PLAYER’S choice. Not just assumed because the content is available. (Especially when the game involves “older” women – or those who realistically should not be able to breed : / and those should also never be the only available options… Motherless & Grandma’s House are examples of how to BORK a perfectly good harem in mechanics, and blue balling *** Four fucking seasons, and counting Moonbox. Four FUCKING. SEASONS. Just for one damned girl to get INTO the Harem. Nevermind actually pregnant > at 40 FUCKING YEARS OLD!!! >.<)

It’s REALLY. That. Fucking. Simple. How you get to these points in the narrative,
and when the new girl options will open up, is up to you. Crafting a story that is compelling enough, with characters that are engaging and ENDEARING enough to get the audience to stick around is the ONE job you have when you write a harem.
