Re:RUDY [0.6]

If I were to rate the game at this stage, on a school grading scale (European: 1-6), I would give it a 3+ or 4- at best. At this point, the story have very little credibility. It also lacks cohesion:

• The way MC act (e.g., when he enters the classroom post-surgery, visits Filo, and earlier at home) make him very childish. He can be inexperienced, but it’s essential to avoid making him appear irritating to players, as this might discourage them from continuing the game (exit-point). I see him as intelligent fool.
• You’ve decided that the MC will be a kind person. However, being kind to people and courteous doesn’t mean being naive or accepting a doormat role. Let’s not confuse a good heart with ineptitude.
• Filo, as a character is a total psycho. On one hand, she treats the MC like complete trash, insults him, shows contempt, and even were able to punch him. She is a bully. On the other hand, after an accident, this very same Filo do everything within her power to save the MC. So what motivates her? What is her connection with the MC based on? She first time shows emotions after MC meet her and Solomon’s team. And what were those emotions? She was angry that MC kissed her and pinned her against the wall! The same person who scorned the MC for years now get the hump?! Ultimately, after the warehouse mission, she confess to MC that she feeling alive only when he treats her like an object and personal bitch. Practically screaming within that she wants the MC to completely dominate her. Man, he should buy her a choker! And of course the MC still apologizes to her for things. But that's not all - she miraculously becoming caring and concerned about the MC's fate. What is going on?! Dear God, have mercy! The only thing redeeming Filo as a character is her beauty, which isn’t enough for me to want to develop a relationship with her. This woman foreshadows ongoing tension in the relationship, and I don’t believe she could change permanently after repeatedly hitting the MC. Even if you plan for her to fall for the MC, butterflies fade, but her nasty nature would remain. For me, she is a BIG NO. Her character is an emotional rollercoaster. 
• Professor Starb is supposed to bring a humorous element to the game, I understand this, but he is just a caricature. Along with the MC’s behavior, he’s another character at a 12-year-old’s level. Is this really the intention? Characters in the game are young adults or adults. If Rick had this kind of approach as a secondary character, I could understand it—and only then.
• The character of Ash shows promise. She is wonderfully normal and should be more supportive of the MC. I don’t understand why, after the MC disappears, she so quickly comes to terms with his departure, considering she claims to have loved him and knows him best. Rick, whom the MC has known only briefly, is extremely determined, though their relationship doesn’t justify this. It’s contradictory. Also, why does no one at school take note of his disappearance? This makes no sense. Same after Rich death and before when he became a bully. No Police investigation. No reaction from Principal. Nothing.
• Other girls like Alyssa and Claythe are very likeable and have potential as future spouses. Claythe is playful, so it might be worth having her flirt with and tease the MC. Alyssa is a romantic and ladylike type. Both are great, but it would be interesting to give them some unique backstory.
• After returning to school, the MC practically doesn’t change his behavior at all. He acts entirely the same, even though he declared a desire for change. It’s inconsistent.
• Nick and Bick look like elementary school children.
• Why do some characters have glowing eyes?
• When the MC and Nick are kidnapped and disappear for a week, hardly anyone has an issue with it. When they reappear dirty and with blood on their faces, the reaction is like a scene from a B-movie. Only then does someone mention notifying Gina, the school principal. Completely implausible.

There are also errors in the game:

• When the MC meets Filo at the club and is hit by her, if he chooses not to follow her, in a later conversation Filo still accuses him of taking advantage of her and pinning her against the wall (which didn’t happen).
• During a conversation with Vhaj, she asks about the number of his partners, to which the MC replies that he’s had several, which isn’t true if the player didn’t go to the metro station. Not to mention, the idea that the gang of girls would casually agree to a group encounter with the MC is naive. Is this a gang or a coven of nymphomaniacs?
  

I think the game only reflects the situation where the MC takes every opportunity to get close to women. Ergo, the choices don't matter.

Not gonna lie, this game has some of the most gorgeous LI renders I’ve seen in HS2 AVNs (AI Shoujo). But, man, the MC is really, really dumb. And with the MC being dumb, so is the story. The choices don’t really matter; they’re just there for players to click on. You’re pretty much forced to go along with the MC's dumbness and the story’s lack of depth.

Renders – 5/5

Story – 1/5

You might be wondering about Re:RUDY, right? Well, here's the scoop!

After elevating Industry Baby to new heights, Re:RUDY is next in line! It's a bit of a bummer that the project's hit a dark phase, but believe me, it's far from forgotten. I promise this game won't be left in the dust! We're just adding a few more spices to it. Just give it a bit more time, and it'll be back in the spotlight before you know it!"

Should we expect some surprises about the girls? Well... it's a comeback, so you bet I'll include something spicy!

Lately, the game's been all about this dark, creepy vibe, which made it tough to piece everything together, but that was the old times. Now, I've got some killer plans to bring the Love Interest into the action! Yep, you heard that right. It's a bit risky for the girls... they might end up in some trouble, but... that's where the excitement really kicks in, right?

But let’s not sweat the small stuff for now. The big news is, we're back in the game and ready to roll out some serious action! Plus, the last time I checked out Re:RUDY, I already started working on some updates, so it shouldn’t take long to roll them out!

Big thanks for hanging in there with me and all the support, guys!

• Ekko the Chef 

Honestly having the hardest time unlocking the first scene, either I'm a n idiot, or i did something wrong prior.  Any help?

hey developer can i ask a question?

I missed this one how can i unlock it?

Hey developer can i ask a question?

I missed 2 h-scene how can i unlock it?

Hye ekko, first of all. GREAT WORK!! Amazing storyline and amazing girls! Is there any place to know for the next update

I think I've missed the first H-scene can somebody help me?? It's a Masterpiece btw am currently playing it but I can tell😌

Good work! I will say that there are some minor plotholes and the MC isn't the most likeable at this point in time, with both the gang and his relationships with the LIs, he wants to be involved but doesn't want to involve them, but I'm slowly seeing that this is relevant to his growth, so hopefully when the plot unravels he can become the goat. At the moment I think he rushed into many relations without thinking of the consequences, so if this is to be a harem ending the aforementioned badassery needs to hit home hard.

The audiowork was superb though. And I definitely love the individuality of the characters, although I do think they fell for "Rudy" a bit too quick, given the whole jib of him at the start.

All in all, I did enjoy it. I do think the earlier content does need some upgrading in the future to kick this up a notch. But definitely looking forward to more, keep cooking ;)

*Mild Spoilers*

Great game! All the characters are great and so are their models. Each girl feels unique and 'real'. Fav girl is probably Filo rn because of her personality and how it switches to submissive rq. MC is also really nice. At first, he was just another MC I thought I'd have to deal with but once the story started progressing he really got good. Only qualms I have is that the early part of the story when MC is trying to tell Rick he never does and just chalks it up to "he was never alone". I don't know what kind of ending(s) you have planned for the story but hopefully there's a harem one or hopefully it doesn't end with us just picking a girl while leading on the others. It felt scummy when MC was confessing his feelings or getting intimate with all these girls and them not knowing he's cheating. Last thing, we need to see MC on some demon time brobro. The time where MC was kidnapped was what made me really hooked me on the story and distinguished itself from other VNs on here. Anyways, can't wait for some more juicy story.
