(...) Riley is killing me at this point, I know it's going slow but it's way to slow considering how much you flirt with her if you go that route. It's becoming borderline depressing to keep using flirty option because you get shut down over and over. It doesn't even make sense to progress the relationship after being so deep into this platonic mode if that makes any sense. I swear it's like MC is trying to seduce a wall at this point regarding Riley
I'm with you on Riley. I've all but given up at this point. You don't even feel like you're making any progress towards a possible relationship. At this point I've just taken the hint she isn't interested.
Vanessa (the model), she is warming up to the MC, a bit..like she takes of her shades for him....i'm sure in 5-7 ep's you may kiss her...maybe.
Riley (the redhead), yeah no progress whatsoever. Honestly i really see no point to even continue to try with her, i find most side girls are more interesting and her looks aren't particular good either...feels like flirting with a brick wall at this point.
Can only sadly agree with all of you...
Havent played this in a while, can someone tell me if there are content with the model lady and the redhead ? Last time i played there wasent any.
May I kindly ask why not? Since everyone would be happy to have some more intimate content with them, the decision seems counterintuitive
Exactly the question I would ask... after
9 long (and very wordy)
episodes focusssing majorly on all these kinds of "business" relationships with all the girls while making almost no significant progress romantically/intimately...
that's not only "becoming borderline depressing", it feels like a chore!
At least for me - and obviously not only for me, perhaps
.
VenusWaltz, you've always accentuated your intention to make this VN a
fun experience for players long enough.
So make it some fun experience eventually by letting at least
something happen romantically!!!
It's more than about time for less business and more intimacy!!!
It's really
no fun at all if you kind of brick wall most of all flirtation attempts behind the originally strict business/work relations and orientations of the characters. Or their character backgrounds. Or whatever.
In particular for Riley. Yes, her business focus is fundamental, but come on: is that really necessary to let her keep that attitude, completely regardless of any constant efforts to romance her? Is that really your aim to hold on consequently on the (back) story of her, when players just loose their patience with her and give up?! Is she meant to be only platonic or even unable to commit herself into a romantic relationship?!
Vanessa is... a very specific "case" indeed, maybe has about the hardest nutshell ever when it comes to any (more than) friendly relationships with anyone. So, yeah, she's for sure the toughest of them all to "crack". So I can somewhat understand that any attempts on her are going to need more time than on any of the other girls.
But again, come on, how long do you want us players to "suffer" instead of finally making some palpable intimate progress with these girls?
I can only beg you to at least consider to straighten up the pace. Not only for the benefit of all of your players who yearn for something more than "business only" stuff, but also for the benefit of the whole story you want to tell.
Because otherwise you might not have that many folks left who want to read and play this story?!
Please always keep in mind, that most players of your "game" aren't there for 'strictly business' and platonic relationships...
Well, let's better say: I am not playing these "games" for strictly business related stuff and friendly, but mostly platonic relationsships at all. I don't mind any slow
burn stories, but eventually after that many episodes, there has to be some
burn to keep me interested enough. And my interest is on a dimishing scale with every update.
Just my opinion, my two cents.
If you really intend not to build up into some romance or intimate content with the socalled main LIs (in particular Riley) "for a while", I'll probably have lost my interest in your story completely for sure. Would a pity though, cause I liked this one at lot right from the very first episode...
