Although the 1.2 has had nice additions in explanation and context, I prefered the Jenny's "blackmail" version. It needed just to be toned down a bit and maybe an option to be less friendly with Jenny if we didn't like it
Thats what happens when people whine and bitch and the dev listens to them.Although the 1.2 has had nice additions in explanation and context, I prefered the Jenny's "blackmail" version. It needed just to be toned down a bit and maybe an option to be less friendly with Jenny if we didn't like it
That is the oddest way I've seen "Sung-ji, Rebecca, and Val" said so farSung-ji, Jade and Valery are the best girls so far.
Yeah, wonder if there was more to the argument than that.Not in the slightest no. She is a childhood friend...if you read the dialogue properly (saying that again)....her parents divorced...she hated living with her mother...and when she was at her lowest...the MC told her to leave (to help her..better her life)..this is what caused the original argument for them to fall out.
Yeah, just felt weird that this rich girl gives two shits and then bogarts the MC from seeing his long lost best friend, especially when the build up was all toward meeting Ashley. Though it makes sense that it was so abrupt if the original beginning was that she forced him to be her maid and he had no choice in anything (as others have said).I agree a choice would have been nice...but only nice...not necessary. End of the day, those girls are obviously central to the plot...just like many characters we are forced to interactwith in many VN's.
I don't play Estate, I am not a fan of D/S content at all. And I always assume that anyone that nice has an ulterior motive. Especially when they are rich. But that's just meEven creepy can be good if done right (Elizabeth from Estate comes to mind). The problem here is that you never even get a sense she has an ulterior motive, she seems a genuinely caring person (with a sob story to boot). Which makes the whole maid/thinly veiled sex worker thing seem like it's from another game. I guess that's why you have to filter criticism as a dev.
If it was up to me, I'd make her put a friendly mask on but would have made her manipulative tendencies obvious to the player. That would at least fit making a maid out of the poor country hunk you just met.
Same, I hope that the dev has a solid storyline and, if including D/S or any more extreme kinks, will make them optional. Though I hope they don't go out of their way to have the characters emphasize that it is optional. I'm just curious as to what the main plot will be, if it will be anything beyond "college guy fucks college girls" at all.Hope the dev sorts the writing hiccups and continues with a solid vision of what the characters will be, because this game has promise.
I see what you did thereThat is the oddest way I've seen "Sung-ji, Rebecca, and Val" said so far
I think there perhaps was more to the argument...or said in the heat of said argument at least. (also..outta reactions..so thought would hive simple reply).Yeah, wonder if there was more to the argument than that.

I don't think he plans to have any D/S content if you read the change log he says "I toned down how forceful Jenny's approach is, since people were speculating things that were going way beyond what I initially intended to show."Same, I hope that the dev has a solid storyline and, if including D/S or any more extreme kinks, will make them optional.

Ah, good to know. I don't expect to find that much information in a changelog these days.I don't think he plans to have any D/S content if you read the change log he says "I toned down how forceful Jenny's approach is, since people were speculating things that were going way beyond what I initially intended to show."
I think that before he rewrote that scene people understandably thought the game was going down a forced femdom route with the original scene. Plus before the rewrite if I remember correctly she threatens to do what her brother said and ruin the MCs life which doesn't exactly make her look good at all.
Yeah the dev was pretty active in the thread he doesn't have a developer badge yet but he explained his reasoning a bit I'll quote some of his posts in a spoiler if anyone wants the reason straight from the horses mouth.Ah, good to know.

I am sad that the developer felt a need to change the initial approach but I can understand it. If she had been left as a, seemingly, forced femdom character I am sure many wouldn't have been very sympathetic to her character. Even as she is right now I find her creepy, am suspicious of her having an ulterior motive, and don't trust her. Couldn't imagine how I would have responded if she was blackmailing the MC, I may have needed to start a second club to destroy her too. And that would be too much work. LOL
Awesome! Thank you!Yeah the dev was pretty active in the thread he doesn't have a developer badge yet but he explained his reasoning a bit I'll quote some of his posts in a spoiler if anyone wants the reason straight from the horses mouth.
Yeah I can definitely see the similarities to Steph especially since just like what happened with Jenny in this game the player had Steph forced on them and in the older versions of that game were forced to have sex with her and understandably got pissed off with it.Awesome! Thank you!
It reminds me very much of Steph, people really hate characters that are forced on them/the MC, especially without warning. I've learned in the short time I've been on here to just move on from a game instead of telling people how "wrong" their games/characters are to me, if it's not my kink I don't have to play it.
I know that I can be an asshole (but not 100% a dick) but at the end of the day the dev needs to decide if the characters are being portrayed properly to them. If the characters are how they wanted them to be then they should ignore the criticism and keep going with their story, changing too much can lead to problems down the road where players think they can get more changed if they scream loud enough.
I'm excited to see what happens next in the game because the renders are solid and the story, though the college guy/harem thing, at least starts differently. Whether it continues on a different trajectory than normal is what will decide me on whether I want to keep going.
Broken .. Why ?here is my unofficial android port of A.O.A Academy 0.1.2 + Compressed + WTMOD

"Eh, a choice to end the Game or, if we want to continue, accept being her servant for a week "Eh, a choice to end the game or, if we want to continue, accept being her servant for a week isn't really much of a choice.
For me it's too early to say if it will or won't be a good game, the renders are absolutely top notch but the story, as with all college guy/harem games, is a bit simplistic. The prologue established that he is going to college, his ex-best friend also attends the school (what are the odds!) and he is required to work 1 week (minimum) for the rich girl who conveniently saved him from being expelled by her "brother".
It is just too early in the story for me to judge whether it will be a good game. However, I do have hope that it will be worth playing and I am definitely following it. I am just in a wait and see mode before I dive headlong into the "this is awesome" fervor.
Overall, my disappointment stems from wanting to spend time with Ashley and not Jenny. "Poor little rich girl" just isn't a background that appeals to me.
If we are to only think about it through the eyes of the MC then why would he trust this complete stranger? The older sister of the asshole who doesn't want the MC there? Some obviously rich woman who, for some unknown reason, expects the MC to clean her house and "consider" whoring himself out to her and the other women in the house? ("Well, There's a bonus here and there if you go along with our requests.. Me and the other girls need to have some fun after all.")"Eh, a choice to end the Game or, if we want to continue, accept being her servant for a week "
Yes, These are the choices WE make. We can see the big picture, But he can not.
All he can see is two choices,
A/ Either to go back home to the farm and carry on his life there or..
B/ Take a risk with this strange girl and see if he can carry on his life here.
He does not see an ending, He just sees two different paths.
After all this is a Visual Novel, And to be fair to TLG, we should at lease, try to see this world through the eyes of the MC.
I get a few errors at the start and the menu doesnt even work and at the end of the conversation with ashley when she jumps into bed the games just crashes and cant go further
Same hare
Broken .. Why ?
You could try my android port that I made for personal use, compressed + added the Walkthrough, Cheat and Gallery multi mod.The Android apk is crashing after the phone call with Ashley
That is the oddest way I've seen "Sung-ji, Rebecca, and Val" said so far
