The highlight of HS2 is how good the renders look
these renders look incredibly compressed and viewed upon the lowest quality. Are the screenshots accurate to the actual game or did the person taking screenshots use a potato to take those pics
The screenshots are taken directly from HS 2 own screenshot process which means 1080p screenshot (I don't think I can achieve native 2K at the moment). It is different from the videos where I have to use external software to capture and edit them (which reduce the quality to 720p from what I can tell). I don't necessarily have a potato pc, but I agree that I don't have a 4K computer. Maybe later when I earn enough money I could properly buy everything I need.

Already had a game over is that going to be a thing throughout? Making a wrong choice will result in a game over?

Yes, however I enabled Auto-Save so normally, there should never be a single time where you make a choice and can't in 3 clicks reversed that choice. Like, no long sequence with dozens of choices that erase the First Choice that result to the Game Over and you are left without a proper safe.
But in the end, yes, there will be regularly a Game Over scene, and if what I imagined come to fruition, the last 2 final updates will have a LOT of them.
Because of this, I wonder if I should display which choice gives a Game Over or not. Because some H-scenes will be beyond those choices for sure.

Depends if you want to give the game away, on the one hand, you can always go back on the Autosave as you said, then again some people are not so patient so perhaps giving them a warning could be a good idea, or you could put up a warning message saying, 'Warning one of these choices will result in a game over' just something that gives the player to think about.

It is very good, but when you disable Skip: Unseen text and exit the game, unseen text re-enables itself the next time you open the game.

Yes, that's true, it will be fixed in v0.0.1a that will come up by the end of this week to compile other issues.

My guess would be that my settings at that time were remembered when I "build" the game (I messed up something right before posting here and I fixed it in a hurry so I activated the skip unseen text to be quicker). And in the end, I didn't even manage to fix the problem ^^ (was the light classroom picture that decided for no reason to not be displayed in full screen).

Those babes are actual women, hun!

yeah, there are tons of those 4 reals, just take a walk and meet one tonight :p:love::cool::whistle::sneaky:(y)!
hmm, that would be the game that some call "Real Life". I really need to try and find a walkthrough for that sucker, every time I try it I end up with a "GAME OVER"! :cry: :unsure: o_O :cautious: :ROFLMAO:

But I'm gonna tag this one with a "Watch" so that I can follow it's progress. (y)

Reasons?
Story, pacing, characters, visuals? Or just not liking it? (not to be angry but more like your message is the first feedback i get and it's not something I wanted to read ^^)
personal reasons you shouldnt worry about...i'm a singular opinion here with minimal worth...but if you really need to know..i dump games that have dames being boinked by non-MC without a "skip" function to avoid seeing it...i'm too uber-alpha for this game :p

Yeah, I get it. Thanks for replying by the way. Also, if you are in that mind, you wouldn't have liked the rest that's for sure :oops:.

PS for people reading this: There will be no "NTR" planned nor remotely playable. However, Game Over exists and I have a lot of them that include and stop the game when it begins. So, you will be able to avoid it since it's a choice that leads to a scene or chooses it but then the game stops.

This seems pretty similar in structure and tone to Waifu Academy, but I'll take it because I am young and ravenous!

That aside this seems like a decent start.

All game overs need to achieve a purpose. The most obvious, and best reason for these "bad ends" are obviously sex scenes. Bad end sex scenes have a certain advantage in that it can be way off the cuff and hardcore without affecting the plot progression.

The other thing bad ends can achieve is humor. Waifu Academy is a prime example. Make sure it at least gets a chuckle out of people though.

The useless, non funny, braindead game overs are a hallmark of bad game design. For example.

Peep
Keep watching
Take out your cock
"What the fuck, tenant, you are a perv, get out of my house!"
game over

fuck that noise.

Out of curiosity, why does every girl seems to have the same bruised 'insomniac' skin around their eyes? It looks like none of them ever sleep...

That's a very good question ...
The answer is I have no idea. Honestly, I just noticed because of your comment. I guess it's the natural HS2 because those models don't have modifications to that area of the eyes. Or maybe the shadows do that. I have to look into it.

well there goes another game down the drain for me. was interesting at first even if the renders are weird. but yeah i also didnt like the fact we had to watch landlady get boned. then even if we join (which i dont like sharing with other dudes) we get a freakin game over again...last time i was willing to let is slide because it was a flashback so obviously MC couldn't have said that stuff to girls mother...but this time? hmmm im guessing landlord didnt passout because he didnt finish during threeway? either way that seemed just like a middle finger to player cause then it makes it seem like choices are pointless. but yeah either way thats what killed it for me. all in all i still wish good luck to dev (y)

So, from what I understand, the majority seems to be displeased when the sex is not with the MC (knew in case of NTR, but this clearly isn't the case here)?If you think that way, you can like with the "Thinking" Emoji, that way it is just a click and I can see the result. As for that scene, if for example, he still fuck the landlady and escapes before the landlord notice, would it be better/worse/same? Feedback is feedback, even if it is just "dislike seeing a sex scene without the MC." Which btw thanks for saying, at least there wasn't a "generic bland trash story" critic even if it is a boring revenge plot ^^.

its definetly one of those scenes that can throw some ppl off. some ppl dont like sharing, gangbang, or even voyeurism. voyeurism is tricky also cause some players dont want to feel like a creep. like peeking on someone during shower. as for the scene in my case, choice is key. like if there was an option to have the landlady for mc by himself then the only thing that makes sense is when landlady and landlord initially fall down landlord stays passed out for the duration of the scene. landlady starts off masturbating sees MC and gets the option to join in. if MC recording is really important then i guess the option can come up after the boob job and landlord passes out or stays awake based on player option. as for the threesome option im sure there are some ppl who enjoy that but i doubt that they would appreciate a game over so probably what you said makes sense. either landlord passes out and MC finishes banging landlady during threeway or yeah he takes off before being noticed.
