I think this is the best episode so far considering the story writing. I liked it a lot. Thank you very much.
Not sure whether the gender selection is helping the game or not. It's certainly intersting and well implemented, figuring out something new for each gender / NPC combination. Still, with all those paths and added renders the episodes themselves are shorter or in other words, take longer to produce. Not sure that tradeoff is eventually worth it. I lean to saying no.
One challenge for future episodes surely will be to keep the adult interactions interesting. They're mostly getting it on either in the shower or in the private rooms and that makes sense considering the environment the game takes place in. Problem is that they've basically all done that already by now. So what's next without repeating?

They've spent well over a month just with the sex scenes of this update so it's obvious this approach is quite time-consuming in terms of development, plus I guess it's also hard in terms of creativity since every sex scene is different from the rest. However, I'd say we are really close to the endgame. The game was entirely planned out in advance and galleries only show one more scene remaining, plus an extra. This is not going to be endlessly dragged out as other titles in this forum.
I am just happy to see this one since my first game was Pandora by Tlaero and MortzeArt!!

It's unquestionably the case that doing a game with multiple LIs takes more development time than doing a game with one LI. Needing to do 9 sex scenes for this episode certainly impacted us.
The question of it being "worth it" is much harder to answer. If it were one LI, it would most likely be a male MC and a female LI. I suspect that Avaron (for instance) would have enjoyed it, but not as much as she is enjoying the FF content in this.
I'm pretty sure I won't do another 9 LI game after this, but it's important to me that I find ways to have content that appeals to my whole audience. I'm always up for suggestions and clever mechanisms for how I can go about that.

Absolutely, I would have enjoyed it either way, the story and characters are still great. I do love the fact it has content for my tastes though, can't deny that.
It's not just the sex either, certain things hit differently. Take Aisha for instance. Following her story from the start she goes into some details of what she's been through while transitioning and what people have put her through. Her first sex scene is great following that narrative. To see her finally find a bit of happiness after how terrible her life has been adds to the scene. I loved her story more because I could put myself in the MC's place, I can't do that from a male MC's perspective so it did hit me more.
Same with Mali. I played through her route and thought she was a really good character and her scenes were hot. It did make me appreciate the MC choice for that.
I know the majority of the audience is male so I certainly don't expect an MC choice in every game but it does make me appreaciate it more when I do.
I've enjoyed the occasional lesbian scene when i've got them in previous games like RfJ and transitions, but loved being able to play a FF route in Life Changes. It wasn't just being able to choose, it was such a good route too, I really enjoyed it.
I know the "main" games like the Elsaverse stuff is going to be male lead and those are still some of my fave stories but I am grateful you guys took a couple of chances and gave us stuff like this and Life Changes.
She had top and bottom surgery. Fully transitioned from male to female, her backstory is well worth reading through.
I just played episode 4 and I find the renders super clean, the characters convincing and the story excellent. The sacrifice that is preparing to do the MC froze my blood! Man's worst fear. Alone, suffocated and drowned, subjected to very high pressure, in the dark in the hope of saving 5 people who we know little about. For me, no need for trans! I LOVE THIS STORY. Thank you guys, I'm looking forward to the next episode and I think I'm supporting you, with the little I have....Very good start to the year.

Love you Tlaero!
Love to Mortze too! "The question of it being "worth it"..." I would like to take a stab at answering that one... I have not yet seen anything like this creative and ingenious concept. This is a unique experience that I am enjoying immensely and intensely. We get to see an intriguing mystery perceived from three very different points of view, hetero male, hetero female and lesbian. That in itself is rare and certainly worth investigating! I have enjoyed the three sided ride thus far and will be starting chapter four today.
So, is it worth it? For me, hell yes!!! Is it for everyone? Probably not. But, for me, rare, unique and special is a good thing. Thanks to Tlaero and Mortze for yet another masterpiece! Huzzah!
Adventure ever on my friends, Phat

Hi Ava
Hope you and your girl are doing well. I agree that the story DOES flow and feel differently for the various MC types because of the different reactions from the LI in game. One thing I just don't fully get is our transgendered LI... She WAS a man who prefers women and had a full transition to become a woman so she could be a lesbian... That just doesn't compute in my heterosexual man's brain! You know how I feel about folks, that everyone is entitled to be exactly who they are without being hassled about it by anyone. I accept folks as they are for who they are, always have, always will. I love women. I love women to the point that I believe that if I were born a woman, I would be a lesbian. That much I do get. I am also in touch with my more feminine side. She even has a name which I will NOT share in public. But, I have no thoughts of actually being a woman. I enjoy being a man who enjoys the company of women. I would never willingly change that. However, the fact that I just don't understand it has absolutely nothing to do with the fact that I fully accept her as she is. Does that make sense?
At any rate, I enjoyed seeing each side of the story through different eyes. My least favorite was playing as the hetero female because it is weird for me to see the point of view for a woman being with a man. But, I did play all three points of view none the less. I just had to think of myself in the male's pov during the sex scenes for my own sanity's sake. Apologies if that is strange for anyone but I expect the same consideration to be who I am the same as I accept and respect others for who they are. I hope that makes sense too... You may have had a similar strangeness in that pov as well, IDK. But, you know by now that I love you regardless. You are my favorite lesbian (next to my own cousin. She was the first lesbian I ever knew, took me for my first motorcycle rides, off-roading in her 4 wheel drive Land Cruiser and lots of other fun stuff.)
Anyway... just my rambling random thoughts spilled out here in commentary as usual. Again, hope you are well, not going in debt over new game purchases and not too thoroughly bored by life without work. You could always bring me some catering if you are ever in the Phoenix area! Hahaha
Honestly... I would love to try your cooking. Adventure ever on dear friend, Phat

ME TOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I think Porthos said it best in the film Man in the Iron Mask...
"If you can name me one thing... one single thing, that is more sublime than the feel of a plump, pink nipple between my lips... I'll build you a new cathedral...."
