That is literally the only note that contains my IRL thoughts on topics like this. But I'm going to discuss this in a little more detail below. Since you said you don't really want to hear my personal thoughts on this kind of stuff, I'll keep it under a spoiler. Just felt the need to explain why I made this choice.

Spoiler: The dev's personal thoughts

You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.

But you also do have a very good point. People go into a game to have fun and escape reality a little. The last thing many people want to see, especially before a steamy scene, is my personal thoughts on representation, agp, and identity. Like you said, it does kill the mood and also messes with the flow of the scene and detracts from the experience.

While I won't remove the explanation from the game, I will probably move it to another place. Maybe behind a button so that the player needs to make the conscious decision to view it and engage with it.

Trans woman here, your note was appreciated by me - reality escaping or not, AGP is something which has been used to attack my trans sisters for decades. I appreciate moving it behind a button either way,, but seeing you be so genuine and supportive is a plus imo

Really enjoying the game so far but the dev really needs to stop with notes like these. During the 1st masturbation scene the author has added this note in as if they have committed a sin and need to be pardoned in a confessional by a priest.

Author's Note:
The thinking of yourself as a hot girl choice and other options like that are probably the only times this game will even get close to fetishizing trans women, femboys, and other gender non-conforming people. I will admit, it might lean a little too much into autogynephilia. I mostly included it since I know many people have fantasies like this and this was requested several times. Keep in mind that autogynephilia is mostly nonsense created to invalidate trans women! This part is just for fun.

They are making a porn game/erotic literature who cares about their personal opinion on autogynephilia and why are they virtue signalling in a game like this? It kills both immersion and arousal to read this crap. You never need to justify yourself for what you want to create as a dev when it comes to erotic content. If they fear that people think they are turning trans people into a fetish by making this game then they should have never made it in the first place. The last thing I want is to start thinking about trans politics IRL when I am enjoying a story they have written.

EDIT: Just finished a couple of routes the authors notes are mostly fine and the game is great just that one note above stood out as it really killed the vibe of the game at the time of reading it. Cut that crap out and the game looks promising really liking the future designs for the characters.

It does seem more that this is a game about a potentially trans character that happens to has lewd scenes on, rather than a smut romp game that happens to have a potentially trans character in.
If you're taken right out of jerking off because the trans characters aren't objectified, that problem is on you, friend...

And given that you consider trans people to be "politics" is saying a lot about your overall opinion. You might want to go find a different game. I don't think you'll do more than get increasingly angry that this one doesn't objectify them for your jerking habits.

This is a big Internet. There's plenty of room for games like this one and ones that are more (or exclusively) sexualizing.

If you want more stuff like this, there's titles like You Throw Like A Girl or re: Dreamer. If you want the other end of the scale, check out The Company or the X-Change line. If you want something in the middle, there's Transfigure by Tango and a couple others that split the difference. Then there's some games that just use transformation as a framing device and never really touch on that aspect after the introduction (Girl Life, Newlife, etc.)

This is the least charitable take of what I wrote possible and I won't do the same to your post. Please read my post on the 3rd page I had an overly negative original reaction and admitted I was being harsh and followed up with going into detail on my criticism of the game and to understand where the dev is coming from. The dev kindly responded to my huge post in detail with a long post of their own and we came to a mutual understanding.
I gave this game a huge amount of praise with both its direction and its future plans with its art and the dev too understands where I am coming from as well and some of what I wrote was out of conern for them you would understand if you read my follow up post.

The dev gave a take on autogynephilia I consider it a legitimate kink like any other that doesn't invalidate trans people the dev doesn't agree but we both agreed to disagree on the issue. I don't invalidate the dev's values or opinion but question the timing of their author's note. I also felt at first they were forced to write that to counter potential backlash they didn't they truly believe it which I respect and the scene they wrote for the MC was well written I complimented the dev for that. Also you are on a porn site that hosts porn games you are constantly objectifying people by your standards if you think writing a scene of a character's arousal is objectification. Smut is smut and porn is porn and erotic literature is erotic literature it all serves the same purpose.

Doesn't say anything about my opinion because I never considered trans people to be political why would trans people specifically be considered political? Nope I love this game and intend to stay if I don't like a game I don't comment and move on with my life. I get more aroused by a good narrative surrouding erotica but I don't think its healthy to try and control or dictate how fans should engage with an erotic game. Both me and the dev agree its pointless to try. The dev is a talented writer and got me hooked and looking forward to more I am curious to see how the club routes plan out.

Firstly, love the game.

A bug i've noticed with version 0.14 - Patched.

The guide seems to indicate there's an 11th day, but the 'End of Content' button prompt appears after lunch on day 10.

The guide is for Patreon version of the game (0.16), which is extended compared to the public version available here.
