Not really, not all rape victims are affraid of sex or males. Of course she has issues like nightmares and such but she stabbed him to death. I don't see her character as a damsel in distress.

You said Vic, but i guess you meant Valery the girl who is protected by the police guy, Vic is the fighting girl who also has some difficulties with her brother and father.
Keep up the good work, author. I love your vision, I just hope Vicky would one day be properly inculcated into the hall of love interests.

That's "Val" (Valery) not "Vic" (Vicky)
Also do not be to sure about Jade.
Some of the things she says are very interesting and easily missed !

You have been in College FOUR days !
On the first day , you can get a blow job.
On the second day you can have sex.
On the Third day you can have sex,
This is the evening of the fourth day

Vic is def for sure going to be a LI especially with how she reacts when she is around the Mc and when he says he think she's pretty/attractive she might not have as many scenes yet as others but have a feeling she'll be an important character later on both when it comes to romance and her training/fighting knowledge i'd say give it 1 or 2 more episodes hell might even get some extra stuff with her when the full ep3update comes out
Good update, thx. I assume the dev reads this thread. I understand his plight. I'm certainly one who is not a fan of the early parts of the game with Jenny and the girls where they're taking their clothes off in the first 2 hours of meeting him basically. I sympathize that the dev felt he had to do this to make certain people happy. I'd prefer to see the story written more realistically, myself. I don't mind slower burn stories because they usually become more meaningful during the latter parts of the game when the sex stuff can get much hotter and heavier due to emotion being added heavily as well.

CHP.3 Public release progress and my thoughts
Hi everyone! I'm here to report on the progress of the public release and my current thoughts on the project.
Before I begin, I hope that everyone understands that BETA releases are incomplete, and it's especially true in CHP.3, compared to previous releases.
First and foremost, in previous beta releases, I always made sure that almost all, if not all, of the scenes and "adult" - content are finished and implemented along with the release, often at the expense of scenes I'd prefer to make regarding other aspects of the story.
I did this to avoid a certain type of complaint from a certain group of people.
CHP.3 is the first one that doesn't follow this rule. This is simply due to the size and amount of scenes that I have to finish before the final part of the chapter (the night scenes).
I preferred to put the climax of the chapter during the night. Since this chapter doesn't include most of the night scenes, I put a disclaimer to everyone that a significant portion of the chapter is not finished. Apparently, some individuals didn't get the message, so I'll use this opportunity to remind everyone again.
I don't find joy in purposefully blue-balling anyone.
I set up scenes with a certain character so that I can deliver a worthy conclusion during the night, it's really that simple.
Yes, there are scenes in the prologue chapter that didn't belong, and I did that explicitly to avoid this type of 'complaint' from people. In a way, I have to sacrifice a little bit of my vision so that I can sleep in peace.
The first time I felt the pressure to change Jenny's character and rush her arc to completion in a single prologue release, I lost a lot of my faith in my own ability and crumbled to the pressure. The story I had planned and made had to be cut and changed. That's why the first two chapters can feel awkward, it's simply because important story elements are changed or just simply missing. Characters aren't meant to be able to trust you in a single chapter.
Never once in my life, I'd think that I can feel dread and anxiety about something that I've made myself, but that first release made me realize how wrong I was. I will never forget the first week of the prologue's release. It was a terrible experience.
I care about this project, about the characters in the story, and I want to do those characters justice. I believe that this 'arc' based approach I currently have is the best, and allows each character to shine in their own, unique, yet twisted light.
However, this doesn't mean I won't make any adult scenes at all. I will, and there are planned scenes in the current chapter and upcoming chapter too.
That being said, progress is smooth so far. I don't expect delays for both the public and gold release. Thanks again for your support and I will do my best to make something that I can be proud of.

I don't know about you, but if my first three days at UC Berkeley were like that (I wish!), I wouldn't be complaining about the fourth.No !, you are missing out on a sex scene.

I want to start off by apologizing to you. Glancing over my post, I wrote it in a very aggressive and combative way which was completely uncalled for and I am sorry for that. I need to work on communicating with a more neutral tone, especially when im out of.... spinach.
I don't want to continue to derail the thread with this conversation as I feel it's now grown far beyond a discussion centered around AOA. Hopefully I can get my point across with some brevity and we can let this die. Just a heads up i've rearranged a few sentences in your post so I can address one section at a time.
Or HopesGaming recent Q&A:
It is up to every developer to ask themselves that question and dependent upon their answer they must design their plot accordingly. Stories are not static immutable entities which cannot be changed. I found that most recent Patreon post odd for this exact reason. Neglecting to develop a plot in which promiscuity makes sense was not our choice. Shoehorning in g-rated lewds which you felt went against the personality of the characters was also not our choice, we don't write the story.
Do you want money or do you want to maintain your artistic integrity? Generally speaking, the choice is yours but the reality is that you can't have both.

I used Summer's Gone and DeLuca's Family as examples for the very reasons you've stated; they are two of the most popular 'slow burn' VNs currently available and a perfect example for the premise of my argument. While their popularity in the VN community is substantial they still have an extremely hard time being marketable. For example, one of Ocean's recent Patreon goals (albeit reached, but how many times have you seen a developer have to make a goal like this?) and a post about his financial status from a few months ago:

This is where I believe the conversation typically goes off the rails. In my mind it's just a matter of perspective. One side sees adult visual novels as niche porn with a decent or great story as a bonus and the other side sees adult visual novels as a niche storytelling medium with adult content as a bonus. Belonging to the former camp shouldn't invoke the assumption that they're unhappy unless every VN becomes a mindless orgy. I obviously can't speak for everyone but as someone that falls into that former camp if a VN only has mindless sex to offer me I'd rather use Bing. We like stories too but we take issue with VNs that selectively applies its porn logic under the guise of realism. These are still porn games filled with plot holes, inconsistencies, absurdities, and regularly reused DAZ3D renders with anime proportions prepared to die for the main character's horse dick after a span of a few weeks. I just don't see the point in pretending VNs are anything but that at the end of the day. The journey may be different, but the destination remains the same.
Granted. To touch back on what Kukipett said, I still believe this comes down to the developers objective for this game. Hopefully I've done a decent job making my case. If you're a developer and you want to ensure your project is well-funded with a secure income, you need good lewds. Convincing the silent majority of VN consumers to care about your story and game without good lewds is a Sisyphean task. On the other hand, if you're okay with a smaller amount of funding which will allow you to maintain your artistic integrity than that is also a choice you can make.
