I am genuinely enjoying this game, which is strange because I usually hate DAZ3d games.

But I'm a bit curious, because it seems like there's lewd content in this game, but aside from Jade's request of basically wanting to bone the shit out of me (and seeing a bugged text from her implying we did when i did not on my valery/ashley route), i haven't actually seen any lewd content. Seems a bit....strange, but I think the route I chose is narratively compatico with the events and choices that transpired, so I'm not necessarily mad at that.

It also seems like if I were closer with Jenny I might have been able to get from her what she was talking about with Val up in her room on the third day. But I don't have a lot of points with jenny because she's not that interesting to me. I'm torn as to whether I should get this knowledge because on one hand, I want to know, it draws me deeper into the lore of the game and I'm sure will make Valery a significantly more interesting character. But at the same time, it's not really realistic, and there seems to be a pretty strong impetus for realism in this game.

Either way, looking forward to more on that route, and the eventual battle for affection between Ashley and Valery. As an old school romantic, I commend thee for thine work, well done crafting a believable and entertaining title.

Oh, and P.S., Vicky needs a lot more screen time, and the MC's body looks like he was a victim of 1st or 2nd degree burns.
As of right now, all the lewd stuff is Jade, and one scene of Ms. Elizabeth solo'ng herself thinking about the MC. I'm sure there will be more in the future, but right now, it's all story stuff. Once you get closer to the girl(s) you're chasing, I'm pretty sure things will heat up. I don't think though it's going to be gratuitous (maybe except for Jade). This doesn't seem like that kind of story where there's going to be an overflow of sex stuff.

Just my opinion and the vibe I get from this game. As a person only on the Ashley route, I'm not expecting a lot for a while, nor does it matter to me.

Just curious though, why do a lot of people like to compare this game to BADIK?

I haven't played BADIK yet, should I give it a shot and how good is it?

there are some references to BaDIK
And so far (having played through most routes on BaDIK) entertainmentwise I find it one of the better VN's out there, storywise there are better ones probably, but its pretty good. Had a few good laughs.

Very similar setting. Young man leaves home to start college and befriends many hot ladies. There are tons of these, but BaDIK is the most prominent one. BaDIK is way better imo, if a little tedious (those minigames), and it's also been in production for a lot longer, so it has way more content.

And that's fine tbh, just concerned that a lot of people will pass this up due to the lack of sexy time fun with their favorite girl. However, narratively, this makes sense (more in line with reality too, i personally think.)

It'll happen, but in due time of course. I'm expecting there to be some really good intimate scenes in this game, but it's just going to be a while. I personally think once more chapters come into this game, and it gets more discussion and we get deeper into the story, hopefully it won't be as underrated as it is.

People make crappy shortcuts ...

... university + porn game = BaDIK

It's very reductive for both games. I don't think AOA is trying to be a BaDIK clone. Both games are very good at the moment, although AOA is still in its early stages.

I don't know what the size of future chapters will be, but it's a risk. There are a lot of girls, there are several interesting stories, it will not be easy to have a chapter that can deal with everything and everyone. You will have to be patient. I also think AOA is worth it.

this

AOA is aware of BADIK . just because one happens in collage doesnt mean no other games can't.

A lot of top rated games happen in school/collage

Well, it's probably because BaDIK is one of the best games out there qualitywise and both games are college themed, so it's inevitable that people will compare this game to BaDIK. But unlike a certain other college themed game out there, this game is very original and good so all is good.

So Adam is the obligatory villain.
Yeah Adam is this game's main douche-nozzle. He's VERY likely going to get in the MC's way, screw over Jenny and most of her crew and I would certainly think most of the students. He wants to make A.O.A. "elite" and not have people like the MC, Valery, Jade, etc at the academy.

I'm sure he'll get shit thrown in his face at some point, but until then, it'll be dealt out to everyone else.

I thought I was getting an early game over.

The only way I know right now to get a game over is in the Dean's Office in the very beginning when Jenny offer's help. I did it for the hell of it and just to see what the Game Over screen looked like.

Right now in this game, there's a certain event coming up (not giving it away for people who haven't played yet) where Adam is most likely going to start a pretty damn good war with a couple of people, one being Jenny. Shit is going to fly in every direction.

Definitely would recommend BADIK, its amazing and overall my favourite adult game. It has a lot of content, great girls (who all get meaningful focus) and an entertaining story that keeps you engaged. The lewd content is more of an extra. It also inspired games like this and Leap of Faith so hopefully the genre will shift away from mindless incest/harem stuff and instead more story driven stories

As long as its not as slow as games like A wife and mother or Deluca family I think it's fine. I would rather not wait years to get some "sexy time" with the girls lol. So far the pacing is good

The only thing BaDIK and A.O.A. have in common is the fact that they are college themed.

Both are extraordinary games.
BaDIK is in the top 3-5 of games ever developed in this genre. It's a mammoth project with lots of content, an insane number of choices and a quality difficult to match.
A.O.A. is a more modest project from a newcomer with an interesting story, romance, secrets, some choices... plus gorgeous women and stunning renders. The facial expressions of the girls are among the best I've ever seen in any game (on a par with City Of Broken Dreamers and even better than BaDIK in my opinion). They seem alive.

Tbh, I'm hoping TLG will surprise us and for a while Adam will be the primary antagonist but by the end, with a certain someone on the loose and almost to the campus now, they'll become the main villain and Adam will somewhat redeem his character and do the right thing by the end.

That I agree with. I almost forgot about that guy. It would be a good story for sure if Adam is initially King Assclown then has a redeemable change of heart. It's nice to think about, but who knows. One can only hope.

I don't care if it's a slow build-up. I want it make sense with the story, especially with Ashley. I mean you can't imagine Rebecca, the shyest in the game, to suddenly want to be doing something every second. Aurora too. Jade is certainly the wildest. Don't know about Jenny, Vicky, Val or Sung.

I always want the love/sex-scenes to make sense, and not be for fan service. Other games wait too long yes, and draw the story out too much *COUGH* DIK *COUGH* so it all depends on pacing, story, and the dialogue leading up to it.

That's how I am and what I care about with these games. If I wanted pure sex stuff, there's an entire 'net for that. I'm not holding to any moral high-ground, just have my opinions.

The contrast between the girls and the way the MC interract with them could be handled better. The hang out revealed that Ashley, Sung Ji and Vicky haven't kissed a boy yet. The MC himself was a complete virgin when he arrived, which means he can lose his virginity with Jade in less than three days like it was nothing. And Jade, a former hooker, acted like this inexperienced boy was the shit. Same thing with the blowbjob session that Valery, Jenny & Rebecca watched like for them, it was tuesday. :oops:

Sometimes it feels like some scenes belong to two different games.
