The love is well-earned, its a stunningly impressive start. Even the title sequence is pretty neat-looking, not to mention all the extra sprite action. And of course, the character artwork looks absolutely beautiful. The MC might be pretty rude starting out, but at least he's learning. Slowly. And backsliding a bit, but then learning again. :p

I can't wait to see more, good luck and godspeed with the project.

How far is this game from completion? Also, are your encounters in this game like the Dominas in well... Domina?

This is without a doubt the most impressive game I’ve seen released in the past year. I can tell this project had a lot of ambition behind it. Just a few notes…

1) The intro is alittle long it may be worth adding a skip function to increase replay ability

2) I think it’s really good you’re attempting the voice acting route but I feel like that’s gonna restrict you from ammending the script as your game evolves so you may want to save that for a lot later to save yourself the trouble

3) the classroom scenes are interesting I’m just worried you’re going to burn yourself out with all the effort that goes into creating those scenes and illustrating the teachers when in reality that’s the stuff most people are just going to be skipping through.

again I think your are already doing an incredible job this game already has more content than 90% of games I see get released nowadays. I just fear that going overboard on all the cool world building features may result in delayed updates and burnout I would hate to see if this project ever got abandoned

Only played up to the first Yuki scene but goddam, great start feeling optimistic. Only curious about a general estimate for Content/Speed of updates. Luckily for Zen the expectation for updates in this niche is particularly low. Genuinely though the game seems great weird getting unironically invested in a porn game story. (P.S any m/m scenes bc Jesse is looking fine)

i didn't get the whole concept at first but i kinda get it now. anyways the game looks great, the art is too, and the story got me hooked. the bgm design should be reworked though since some scenes don't match up with the characteristics of the background music

i hope this wouldn't fall into the typical development hell like some game devs suffer from (*cough* deka and koda *cough*). good luck zenkuro!

this game is fucking fantastic!!!! You seriously breathed a new life into the genre!

Side note: I ran into a couple of minor graphical bugs, one when choosing the option "I couldn't help it" during the breakfast with Leah, the CG just gets stuck on the screen, the other is during the 2nd dojo session, after the cutscene that plays when you're knocked out, Aiden's sprite is left visible standing there making it look like there's two of him at the same time

Wow, this game was much better than I expected when going in a 0.01 version. There are only two things I can think of that I'd really want gameplay wise.

The first would be an even faster run button (maybe have normal speed be close to the current running speed and have running improve on that) since the maps are already pretty big and if you have 11 more girls on the way, presumably that means at least 11 new rooms, which could make travelling feel like a chore.

The other would be way more save spots. The scenes are all really good, so I found myself saving at new spots all the time. They were barely enough for this version, so especially without a gallery I don't want to imagine having to go through a more completed game with only those.

I also have a non-gameplay request although it's one that really far into the future. That is please allow us to submit to the heroines even if we win the bet. The idea of falling because you're unable to resist a woman's charms has always been alluring to me, but while playing through the Leah route I felt like I wanted to win more and more. Not because she was a boring character, on the contrary. I didn't want the MC to submit because he would fail what seems like an impossible bet and thus be contractually obligated to serve her. Instead I wanted him to prove that he could restrain his urges, that he could do anything he sets his mind to, but even with a world of infinite possibilities in front of him, there wasn't anything that he would enjoy more than submitting to her.

In any case, this is a wonderful game, I'm really looking forward to seeing more of it.

Wow, I am impressed to say the least. The artwork is excellent, the gameplay loop is engaging, and the story and characters are pretty good too. Excellent job Zenkuro, I can't wait to see more.

Hey, any idea on how to get enough affection point so you can hang out with leah? And how many knowledge point do you need for 2nd scene with dojo girl?

I'll work on changing the layout of the maps, and at the very least make getting to class in the morning much faster.
I'll try to find a way to implement fast travel later in a way that doesn't cause issues elsewhere.

Good point, that should be easy enough to fix.

No worries, there should be no problems in that regard.

I already worked on the dojo visual bug, it should be fixed by next release.
I tested the breakfast scene multiple times, it didn't show me the bug you reported. (Were you by any chance holding the Ctrl during the scene?)

This game looks like it will be great in femdom content, but the pacing is way too long and slow. The amount of information given to the player, at the start, needs to be condensed and given the option to skip. Also, I haven't gone too far (due to the pacing) but, the size of the school looks too big. Seems pointless to have such a big area, when you just need to get to point A to point B. Might be better to shrink the school or add fast travel for the player's convenience. Hopefully it turns out great Zenkuro.
I would guess the reason its so big right now is so theres more room for everything to be laid out for future updates plus it wasnt really bothering me I knew where I had to go
