So I know it's probably not where you're heading but I'd like it if you had a little more freedom. I know the story is based in chapters, but say if you wanted to do everything you can in the space of one chapter then that option should be available for you to do so. I for one like to do as much as I can before moving onwards. I don't want to feel like I'm missing out because I've done a few extra battles or worked a few shifts at the diner. That's just how I feel anyways.
As for the game itself I am loving it, it's nice to see a game like this with realistic dialogue. It's clear that you as a creator have taken considerable time to think out characters and their storylines. I was not expecting the ending of 0.26 to be such a telling narrative. And of course the rest of the game, the cards, the battle, the porn, all of it is enjoyable. Keep up the good work!
Hello, LoneGeorgie! Thanks not only for giving the game a try but also for taking the time to share your thoughts.
I think you’ll be happy to hear that starting with Chapter 3 (coming in early April), you’ll have complete freedom! There will no longer be day limitations, meaning you can roam, battle, collect rewards, and explore as much as you’d like while waiting for the next chapter.
I totally understand that the ending of Chapter 2 might feel frustrating, but it was the best way to release it without making players wait even longer. That said, this will be the last time it happens—moving forward, events won’t be forced, and you’ll be able to keep playing afterward without interruptions.
I hope this clears things up! Thanks again for your kind words—seeing this kind of support is incredibly motivating!
Thanks for the quick response and the fix - great game
Trying to 'work' in the diner causes a error
```
I'm sorry, but an uncaught exception occurred.
While running game code:
File "game/scripts/story/Others/activities.rpy", line 106, in <module>
NameError: name 'diner_has_learned_to_work' is not definedThanks for the heads up. I'm on it!
Version 0.23 is up and that should be fixed. I'm really sorry about it and thankful you noticed me. Please tell me if you run into any other issue.
Thanks for the amazing speedy service
I'm usually not a fan of AI as it tends to lead to pretty bland character designs, but you've done pretty well in making them distinctive. Some of the facial expressions are a bit off, though. Anya's smile, for example, just looks like it has a different angle from the rest of her face.
Do you have a timeline for updates?
Thank you for your comment and your kind words.
I'll do my best with the facial expressions and take a look at the one you're talking about! I've reworked a few already :)
As for the updates, the next content update is coming end of this month (September) and is a huge one. The next one after this should be at the end of November, but it is still uncertain as I'm currently reworking Chapter 01 as well with the feedback I received. People who don't want to replay it won't have to and won't miss anything though :) And the wait between the next updates should be easier since there will be a LOT of content to go through!
Important questions DEV!
will there be a harem ending?
And is the content forced or can it be avoided? This is what I mean about some fetishes or labels that are sometimes presented in the game that are not to everyone's liking, especially lesbians, Ntr, femdom, etc.
Thank you for asking!
The short answer is: Yes!
Long answer: It will be up to you! You can raise your affinity with only one or every girl you like, thus having multiple "affairs/girlfriends" and a harem ending if that's what you want.
As for the sexual content, almost none of it is forced. I'll do my best always to give the player options to avoid or skip it if it's anything other than "standard" intercourse.
For example, if you talk to the Secretary (in Chapter 01 already), you'll find multiple bdsm pictures (and scenes). If that's not your thing, you can simply avoid talking to her and won't get this content. For the reasons you express, the first pictures you find of her are soft, so you know what you're getting yourself into.
Finally, skipping/avoiding sexual content or not raising affinity with a character will not prevent you from getting anything story-wise.
I will add labels to my game page as scenes are added to the game too.
I hope I answered your questions. Feel free to ask if you have more.
Thanks for checking out my game, it means a lot to me.
Thanks for answering, I forgot to ask you if there will be animations in the scenes NSFW?
You're most welcome, thank you for taking interest in my game!
Yes, there will be.
They require a crazy amount of work to be of great quality (all done by hand), thus there probably won't be many but I'm working on them. There will be at least one in the next update already!
While using AI art does have a stigma attached, it looks used to great effect, and I don't think using it to increase the speed of content produced is a bad thing. Using it to aid the process is I think how its best employed!
Besides how is it any worse than using DAZ or Honey Select? Both of which produce great content
Looking forward to more content and will be following!
Thanks a lot for your kind words and following, it means a lot to me and I hope you'll like the next update!
As for the AI, it does indeed have a pretty strong stigma attached: It's hard seeing "1 star rating because AI" when I spend hours drawing by hand on/with those AI pictures, and of course there's everything else in the game that isn't done by/with AI (code, design, story...). As for Daz and HS I do absolutely love them, I just felt like it didn't fit my vision of my game.
ooo, this looks goo....
ai generation.
welp, you lost me. id prefer badly drawn b and w placeholder art
I'm sorry to hear. Do you have any other criticism to give me so I can work on my game to make it worth more than 1 star in your eyes?
Maybe you'll feel better knowing that none of the art is 100% AI and a lot is actually handpainting combined with it (and some is 100% handpainting). I'm a decent artist but just couldn't have done so much content by myself. I still hope you liked the story and gameplay.
Have a nice day and thanks you for your review !
I honestly couldn't get past that. And not 100 percent is... I mean, if you're using it like a model doll to make poses and then do your own art from there, that's one thing. if not 100 percent means going in and fixing hallucinations and such, thats not better. Also makes me worry about the story and writing being ai generated. Honestly, I feel like you would be better served doing what you can legitimately as a start, adding updates as you are able with real art, gaining a following and possibly an income source to help with time and money worries about adding more art and story.
Defiantly one to watch,
The Mini-game is almost worth being taken out of the game and made a separate game in itself
Thank you so much for your kind words XingUK. It means the world to me!
It's a possibility I'll do this in the future! For the time being, if you enjoyed the game, you'll be pleased to know that you'll be able to freely battle different opponents with different difficulty levels in the next chapters :)
