Long Road Home [v10 Part 4 Beta Update 1] [OBDGames]

It’s a really good game, it’s not boring, it’s not as easy to make as you think, even with game engines and ready made characters.
It’s one of the few games that I check for updates every few days, but the most important feature of the game maker that I’ve noticed is taking player feedback into account and using that feedback to make the game. . . , (most developers rarely pay attention to player comments)
This is why most games, despite having a high rating, gradually lose their rating even faster than you think.
Well, I’m still waiting for the story to become more interesting..

Having played this current update of 10.1 part 3 – I like that you’re not making Angelica angry (but she hasn’t found out anything yet – so it’s still a RED FLAG) Please just let that relationship keep growing to permanence in “Ride or Die” status. You’ve made her far too vulnerable a character for it NOT to fuck with any protective male’s head if you decide to fli the coin and make her go back to the Minions now.

I’m interested in where you’ll go with Tori (but I’d warn NO FEMDOM WITHOUT allowing Player to TURN THE TABLES) * Fuck the idea MC will not be able to Dominate her. Do NOT GO THERE. If she can domme him; he can dom her. It would be retarded and disingenuous to a given audience’s tastes to do only one of the two. [I do NOT like the idea that it seems like you’re FORCED to ally with a woman who basically admits or is insinuated in story to be the town doorknob, JUST to keep your girls out of potential danger. It’s a HAREM. They aren’t fucking supposed to ever BE in danger. It would be nice to be able to gain an actual relationship with Tori in the long run and have her become an ol’ lady/baby momma. Submissively! (Same as with Angelica = I don’t mind a roughish start; but she’s got to MELT QUICKLY if I’m going to trust she won’t stab MC in the back at some point. She can play the tough Domme bitch with literally everyone else and I won’t give a fuck)

– If you’re going to involve Marah in the story long term; give players who’d want to the option to seduce/keep her. If Sluggo is who I think he is based on the show = he’s death flagged. If he’s not; Marah is still WAY too attractively rendered to be a “look but don’t touch” character… If you’re willing to do it with Jessy & Tracy, and Rebecca & Nora then I don’t see why Marah would be off the table.

– Also: You gave us the option to fuck with Jaybird’s wife = DO NOT penalize the players who chose that relationship path IF you actually do let him out before he dies. That WILL piss me off, and be needlessly frustrating to most players. I didn’t decide to start that path just so you could yank it away in a few updates with a return that frankly SHOULD NOT HAPPEN. The attempt to get him out should be more than valued enough and leave it done.

– IF you’re going to insinuate that Rebecca is OKAY with MC fucking her Mom = DO NOT penalize the player in that lead up where Sarah might join in on it at the bachelorette party. I’m hoping you’ll take my suggestion fully into account. [I do like that Rebecca gets to be the Civie wife = DO NOT fuck that up. For any reason. You don’t build a harem by locking off girls] Rebecca can dislike her sister all she wants, but she really should not play the cock block with one while encouraging MC takes their mother to pound town. While we’re at it; Isabella did NOT need to be married. So either render her unattractively, OR let the PLAYER decide whether we will pursue her… WITH NO CONSEQUENCES. [You can have the husband literally be rendered infertile, or ED through combat injuries and her having married him as both a stabilizing influence and or true love… BUT she wants a baby. Problem solved] * I do want to see at least Rebecca and Sarah in the harem to keep. Nora I have no problem with being more independant (But it would be cool if she was still fertile. She doesn’t have to be romantically attached not to be alone and MC could teach her to be a little less controlling through that “not so casual” tie)

– Emily’s issue with being “fired” could be solved if you let the player choose to pursue Doctor Pete as well. She can be a hard case to start, but if we can pursue one, there’s no reason not to be able to have both. If you intend to keep shooting the MC (At least it wasn’t lethal but if he can get through WAR with only scrapes and bruises shooting him for any reason at this point is kinda bullshit and needlessly dramatic. I did warn you about the berserker rage crap) Point being, he’s GOING to need a doctor that’s invested in him staying alive if you want to up the stakes on this biker war stuff. Or nanites that give him superhuman healing powers… Maybe invest in Unisol??? You’ve already gotten him involved in the Underworld; maybe it’s time for an… Evolution. (I’m not sorry I went there)

I’m also interested to see if you’re going to let us have the Latina lawyer at some point. I still like Maria and I’m not opposed to Juanita. Though I guess there has to be a limit on girls gained somewhere. I mean there’s still several females from Jessie’s home town that we fucked or got naughty with that we’ve not heard fuck all from in how many updates? This is another reason I don’t really think you needed to add Della and Sadie to the lewd path. You have several characters from way back when that are younger – actually able to breed, and be in a LONG term relationship with MC that you seem to have forgotten about or decided actively aren’t going to actually be in the story as more than side content. A little clarity on that point would be nice before you add more girls on either side of the biker gangs to MC’s roster. Hell he still has the asian girl he’s protecting, AND at least one or two from Babes that should be pursuable. There’s also pregnancy talks with all characters and the full list of Ol Ladies to sort out. Though if he can have one civvie wife I don’t see why he can ONLY have one (Other than legalities of course) Maybe it turns out that joke about Utah is more an Endgame Goal?

I also kinda want to see where you’ll go with the Mayor’s daughter (Jesse’s sister) The mayor’s wife; and the reporter. [At least Jessie’s half sister & the reporter SHOULD become MC’s ol ladies by the end, or have that option for the player to choose] I’m not any more opposed to cucking the mayor behind his back than I would be with fucking/breeding Sarah. (Whether or not she’s dumb enough to spitefully go through with the marriage – for the money * She can still want a baby with a man who won’t lie to her about his affairs. Whom she wants/likes and can trust, who’s also the type who will die for her… so maybe Sarah could insinuate her desire during the bachelor party “drunkenly – but not really being drunk; just a smoke screen/plausible deniability in an opportunistic fashion of serendipty – and let MC do what he wants to her. Including Creampie without protection, because SHE wants it) There are ways to write something where she’s not really much better than her husband to be; but she CAN be loyal to the man she chooses. [I understand her motivation being the money she thinks she’s owed, and the dipshit being a faster path to it; but there’s also a healthy sibling rivalry aspect you can play with where Sarah IS massively jealous of Rachael getting MC, where Rachael was always jealous of the babying that Sarah got. I have a little sister too… the grass is ALWAYS greener] IE Rebecca gets to be the noted Civvie Wife; Sarah gets to (Rebecca can call it “cheating”) be the first of the two to carry MC’s child. Just a thought.

You have plenty of content for several more chapters frankly. So here’s hoping you keep going. Because this is one of the games that if I could afford to invest monthly in every game on my For Fun list, I absolutely would donate to. I can’t afford to, so the best I can do is offer critique, and suggestions.

update is here, plz update v10 part 3
