Never said that it did. But claiming that shower of generic white people is 'a quite diverse cast' seems a stretch.
Well, there are girls and *gasp* boys. Making already way more diverse than the average harem game ;) (that's a joke folks! don't kill me!)

What I am talking about are different personalities, interests and backgrounds, which is anyway more important than whatever skin color people happen to be born with.

I get that this game is definitely not Young Again.

But with regards to "wholesome": the MC seems a fairly normal guy. After moving to another town he joins a scouting group (not a swingers club). The members of this scouting group seem fairly diverse in terms of personality, but we don't know that much about them yet. We have one couple. Harem lovers may dislike that, but that's how it is in the real world. Pretty wholesome even, to use that term. We have one slut who likes to give blowjobs. Definitely not my type, but it's a free country: if she likes to do that, why would it bother me? The player can choose not to enter the room and if he does anyway he can choose not to get a blowjob. What bothers me most about the term "wholesome" but which people don't complain about, is the scene where Katie is drunk and the MC undresses her under the pretense of "not getting her top dirty". That scene felt a bit rapey, although it was also possible to play it like a good gentleman. When going too far, the MC got slapped (good for her).

So yes, the game is actually pretty wholesome. Normal guy meets a normal group of people, all of whom have already established relations with others.
Well, we have here different opinions, probably because we like different game styles. For me it's not "wholesome" when quite in the beginning the most interesting/beautiful girl in the game (who also kissed/hugged you at the very first time you even see her - for me therefore the potential li number one in the game so far) giving someone else of the group a bj right away. So you get immidiatly cucked in the game at the first release - for me not really nice. What a "wholesome" game start...

As you also mentioned the "real world", there I would immidiatly leaving that strange scout group where at a birthday party from a group member some have (not very hidden) sexual action - for me that sounds more like a swinger club...

If you talked to Steve in the patio at the beginning of the party, he'd have told you to stay away from Cat.

Thing is: promiscuous girls do exist. Most harem lovers are fine with that as long as the girls (who were demure virgins before) suddenly become promiscuous the moment the MC appears. That's not realistic. Whether to engage with slutty girls or not is your choice, like in this game.

I actually prefer virgins (demure or not), but you have to accept that they don't jump at your cock immediately. I'm sure that there are a couple of those is this game as well, but you haven't gotten close enough to them yet. Although Anne (the girl fingering herself in the bathroom) is promising, depending on your choices earlier she's fantasizing about either the MC or Peter when fingering herself.

As you also mentioned the "real world", there I would immidiatly leaving that strange scout group where at a birthday party from a group member some have (not very hidden) sexual action - for me that sounds more like a swinger club...
You do have a good point there... :unsure: I wonder what the opinion of the other NPCs is about that. Steve already gave his opinion: "stay away from Cat, she's trouble", but I wonder about the other girls.

Win/Linux (670 MB/ 128 MB) :WorkUpload,PixelDrain

Compressed With UAGC 2.0.0
Image Quality: ~75%.
Good morning. While insuring this compressed package would work with the upcoming mod release I DL'd and noticed your directory structure is incorrect. Proper it should be:
(name of VN)/(sub-directories game/lib/renpy)

But your package has:
(name of VN)/(name of VN)/(sub-directories game/lib/renpy)

Just an FYI so you can keep the structures proper in the future. Regards.

Your mod works fine on the compressed version, why is it blowing up the problem when it doesn't really exist?
Good morning. Indeed, I know it works fine as I checked it first as noted, as I always do before submitting a package of mine publicly. I'm not trying to blow up a problem, I'm simply noting to you that your folder structure of your public packaging (which reflects directly on you) is not correct. Remember that many of the public that DL these supplied packages aren't as tech savvy as might be presumed so eliminating all points of possible confusion for those folks is not only prudent but also professional.

Remember: how you present your work and your public packages reflects on you directly. If it's no big deal to you then so be it... it's your credentials and standards for you to decide how to handle. I promise you veterans that supply (including compression services) are paying attention to all these details in their own work/supplies. I'm only pointing it out to you in case you didn't notice. You do you, I'm only trying to help you up your game. Regards.

I already mentioned that in my first post, seems this started even sooner then I feared there.
About "defending" the game (eg the post above): that's ok, there is of course still a big group liking such games. The problem is imo the quite difference to Young Again for the ones following that game and now dropping here.
Well, I think it's still WAY too soon to say that this will end up being a voyeur, swinging or cuckold game, assuming that this is what you mean by "such games". I don't get the cuckold vibe at all. Voyeurism is in the game, I can't deny it, but I feel that this is probably not the main focus of the game either. Swinging is in the list of planned fetishes, but so is pregnancy and virgin.

From loosely following the dev logs I believe it will be up to the player what kind of experience he will have. If he wants to have a romantic exclusive relationship with a virgin, he can. If he wants to share a slutty girl with some other dudes he can as well. Even stealing a girl from another guy seems to be possible in the future.

My complaint against the anti-NTR crowd is that the MC didn't have any relationship with any of the girls prior to the game, where the NPC's did. So if those NPC's continue their sexual relationships, how is this NTR? IRL if my neighbours, who are married to each other, are fucking, why should I care about that? If the forgot to close the curtains properly, I can spy on them, but how should that make me feel jealous? Why would I care? Similarly, I don't care at all about NPC's in this game having sex with each other. If one of the NPC's would become an actual LI (rather than a potential LI just because she's in the game), yes, then she should stop seeing other guys. And if I see one of the other girls get deflowered by one of the other guys without being able to prevent it, I may feel cheated too. But not in this case.

One thing in the post above is not right and should be clarified: the "special content" (the bj from a li with another guy) is NOT avoidable! It is skippable. But that's a big difference for those who don't like that kind of thing!
You are right, I was not fully clear in my review, I amended the text a bit, hope it's now better.

Well, that's fair. Of course there are choices, only the special one is still a bit of a problem (skipping)

As some others I mostly did not expected that game from this (co) dev. Also pleasing all player groups imo don't work in most games, there will be always one "group" getting more developement attention. Here it's for me already a bit clear which side: if you don't won't swinging or perving (the one in the kitchen), you don't get any good content. Also most of the girls are not really appealing anymore for me, since the good looking ones are kinda tabu now: a slut (Cat), already in a relationship (Charlotte), or wasn't even on the party (I think her name was Helen, and she's a bit to young for me). The others are mediocre at best for me.

Well, it's now really better to leave that thread here, I do not want to always making "bad news"...

Hmmm. This game is kinda hard to get into. Setting is pretty generic and not really intriguing. And there is no fetish like incest/maledom/etc to use as a crutch to get you interested in some characters like most games have. So far the game just feels very bland, like unseasoned pasta with nothing else in the dish.

Nerdy/athletic/whatever stats feel kinda pointless. I wish we had good/neutral/bad guy points instead. So far mc seems like a generic vanilla good guy and is very boring to play as. Some variety in regards to how mc thinks of and treat other people would help.

The sequence with blonde girl felt very meh too. If you are gonna introduce another dicks then you better make it count and fetishise the situation. Have an option for the girl to work 2 dicks at once, some dirty talk options maybe, at least have mc say something other than "it feels good" and "I am coming", have him grope her tits, really just anything to make the scene feel less robotic. Currently that scene is devoid of anything intimate/kinky/romantic/spicy/whatever sex mood floats your boat. I guess its the usual "show that love interests have life outside of interactions with mc" kind of bullshit aka completely pointless waste of renders. :HideThePain:

On the flip side renders are above average. Content with Cat could be fun if mc improves, show some initiative and wont just stand like a statue. Charlotte looks interesting because of the whole boyfriend thing. Vanessa stands out a bit too. But the rest of the cast are not very interesting so far.

Hopefully its just a slow start and characters/story will have some kind of hooks later on. Gonna check out later updates to see how this develops.
Wait a sec! So you're saying there is no Incest here? Maybe I just didn't notice, but that's the only reason I'm here. I'm like ZargonGames equals Incest. Just like Red means Stop and Bros over Hoes. It's just logical. Sadly if there isn't Incest, I see nothing else besides a sharing simulator. Thanks for the heads up!

You do know that throwing in some girl / guy with a different skin colour doesn't make something "diverse", right? :WeSmart:
I mean, just by definition that would change the diversity level by 100% with a different skin tone/color. So... I don't see your point. Also, they might have a "diverse" personality besides skin tone you know? :ROFLMAO:

That's a true matter of perspective AFTER knowing the alternative scenario so it (imho) actually IS avoidable. If the player chooses to leave (for CatSolo scene or otherwise) then technically the player has no idea what is or is not going on in Stu's room. I'm not trying to instigate anything but in all fairness it's completely avoidable (again, imho).

Take this perspective: A new player who has no idea what's to be expected with anything (has never read this thread or any other "spoiler") and fires up the game for the very first time, gets to this choice and chooses to leave. They have no idea what if anything occurred. That "issue" has been therefore been avoided.

Sidenote: The next update push of SanchoMod will clarify this a bit more:

I just tried a little bit of your mod and I must tell you that you've blown me away! I think I've never seen a mod so well done, I'm really glad you decided to do it for our game.

Well, in my very first playthrough I actually left there, because it was for me immediatly clear it's her behind the door making the sex noices. Cat was my main interest at that game time and therefore of course my first impulse was to search for her. But at that point in front of the door hearing the noices it was for me more like "to hell with her, what a slut". I even thought she had full sex behind that closed door.

Only in a later try I found out about the bj and that she's even worse and wants to give me a bj, too - after the other dude....
Ewww!

Well, that blowjob with another male character was certainly unexpected. xD I deliberately went for Cat from the beginning because I saw a preview screenshot showing her sporting a blonde bush and I like bushes. Oh, well, I guess her bush will make up for that in my case. :devilish: *shrugs* kek :ROFLMAO:

I wonder if some of the other female LIs will have pubic hair as well? :unsure: ;)

In any case, reflexbound and Zargon_games , you will be both pleased to know that, because of Cat, this game will be included in upcoming new edition for the index of games containing female characters with pubic hair. Looking forward to future updates! Good luck with the development! :)
