I can live with not so well cut pictures characters, but why to compress them to dwarf height?

Okay, i didnt go further there because even without my lesbian preference those guys were ugly and annoying as fuck so i didnt even consider to look whats behind that choice ^^

Order? Its a simple favor and the top rule of female dorms is mostly they are female dorms and no motels. Not an unreasonable order, just a simple reminder she can do it anywhere else if she wants, but you dont want to see anything from it.

Thx, but one logical point is missing...that hulk seems to be a student too and he should also have a dorm room there, so they could do it there if they want, whats the difference besides making the new student feel bad or even scared in her own room?

Well, since she is the only girl in the game for now, i hope there will be a choice at some point in the future, an optional for the bi route to let them do as they please or play with both of them and for the lesbian route to drop that hulkm at least the benefits part...cant speak for everyone but i prefer to eat pussy, not creampie and if the protagonist "decides" to be into woman it wouldnt make sense anymore to keep in mind she started straight ;)
for me the truth of that scene is that it should damage the opinion and the relationship between them, but it should not increase Bitchiness is common decency the bedroom is not only hers it is shared It's nothing private, it would suck to be tired and want to go to sleep and you can't because your roommate is banging someone there in fact it is the first rule that is basically done in dormitories or shared apartments.

also a question you had said that by Kinkiness she can become interested in women.
but if i keep ignoring men that is not going to increase in fact, it can even go down in the shower scene if you respond angrily to the men's comments it goes down, is it still possible to become interested in women without having to increase that?
Thanks for all the feedback. When it comes to the 'hulk' ( haha ), the initial reason was that up until now, at least for a long time now, Ji-Woon had the room to herself, while Tyler has a roommate, and likewise there's a power dynamic/story element there that Ji doesn't want too many people knowing about her relationship with Tyler for her own reasons and the image she wants to present, while Tyler also doesn't want Ji in the company of his friend for his own reasons, and Ji is pretty submissive around Tyler so she lets him call the shots on where they have sex a lot of the time, and of course her room used to be empty so it was even more convenient.

Going forward, though I always intended for Priya to pick whichever sexual interest she wants, I can see that a more strictly lesbian route when it comes to every aspect is something that quite a few people want, so I'll make an effort to reflect that more often in Priya's mindset and add choices to some of the current scenes. In the shower scene specifically, Priya can say that the attitude of the men in college, as far as how they address her in casual conversations, is 'new, but acceptable' ( Doesn't change kinkiness and allows you to finish showering if you aren't attracted to any of them ), or 'scary,not used to dealing with extroverted people' which does not change kinkiness one way or the other.

The only option which decreased kinkiness is 'Inappropriate, women should be treated like women with the traditional honors', as it portrays Priya as more of a traditionalist/conservative when it comes to gender relations, and lesbianism itself would be also be something that is unthinkable in Priya's home town and household.

So, if someone both isn't unattracted *and* doesn't like the attitude of the guys, the 'scary/not used to dealing with this' option would be the way to go. But it's true that in the prologue, there aren't a *lot* of perfectly lesbian thoughts or ways to increase kinkiness, since Priya does start out as a straight-leaning woman, but certainly it should be made available in the upcoming chapters. I'll probably also delve a bit more into sexual curiosity about women in the prologue with a few kinkiness bonuses to ensure a smoother continuity, once I release the next update.

Are they? The sprites are the same size as Good Girl Gone Bad or many other 2D Games, no compression done. Maybe it's the real world scenes behind? But their height takes up most of the screen anyway, I mean if you screenshotted it and tried stretching them a bit more, you would make their head disappear beyond the upper border.

I will say though, besides the graphical polishing already released ( Though the mods still haven't updated my links themselves so I had to post them in a previous post.. ), graphics are going to be much less significant in the future, as they already seem to be a source of contention and constrain my ability to tell the story more and more when it comes to more complex sex scenes and events.

There's a cool online text game called 'Female Agent' that puts a drawn sprite of your character and what she's wearing or whether she's naked at any given point, while describing scenes with backgrounds and text detailing what the characters are doing in that location. I have the added benefited of face portraits too, so I'll do a combined mesh of both.

Well, judging by the screenshot in the first message, they are definately resized vertically to a disproportioned level. You may want to try to resize mantaining proportions, which is for sure among the options of any 2d imagining tool you are using.

Body sprites have actually not been resized at all from fheir original images taken by phone cameras. Only the heads were resized, proprtionally to fit the bodies. The textbox in the screenshot obscures the character's legs. is that what are you talking about? Also, her feet aee cropped out by the bottom of the screen, so she is pictired as if photographed from the legs up.

well yes, the roommate thing is a little more understandable now, but as I said the options should not increase Bitchiness now that room is not only hers it is shared and rules have to be implemented, because as I said it would be shitty to want to go to sleep and not be able to because she is fucking the guy, and the worst that when you can enter the room could be smelling of sweating and semen it would be disgusting, that's why that kind of rules are always made, or at least in the shared apartment where I was in my first year of university they were made.

and well the shower is because I would respond with anger, I thought the guys were idiots, but well for the next time I will take the decision of "scary" no problem with that.

and also what they say about the sprites, I do not know how to explain it well but I think the problem is the angle of the body it makes the faces looks big and the body from the waist down smaller it looks as if the photo was taken with the camera with an angle a little bit high also the fact that they have very low resolution (they look very blurry).

Alright, so I should mention that for the new update, I've actually already implemented a couple of changes and additional choices based on the feedback received her for the shower scene and and another scene which present a much greater emphasis on Ji-Woon and lesbian leanings ( thought not outright coming out, more of a budding inner discovery ) when it comes to Priya. Also, in this first incident with Tyler, Ji thought that Priya wasn't going to come back before they're finished, and was confident in her ability to quickly get dressed and kick Tyler out if she did show up and knock. If Priya does knock as asked to, she waits by the door for only a minute before it's opened and Tyler quickly states that he should be going.

It was also planned for Ji and Priya to be able to converse the next morning and agree to set up privacy hours and to thoroughly inform each other of visitations and arrange schedules in advance.

As far as the dorm being completely off-limits for sex on account of various other factors - At the end of the day, this is also a porn game. And leaving even putting the million silly japanese games or super cheesy 3dcg games out there aside, even the most realistic college simulators do a bunch of stuff that isn't meant to be completely realistic, or socially acceptable, etc. These things are all given a degree of suspension of disbelief with the understanding that the characters are going to be more horny and find themselves in a lot more sexual activities and situations, some of which wouldn't even be comfortable for a real person, even if it takes a while to get there.

That being said, I like choices and immersive storylines, so if I can make something more realistic, I will. But the technical problem is that it can also mean a lot of work for a relatively small immersive element granting peace of mind to certain players. Dorm sex is definitely a thing ( Both in professional porn and reality, I mean there are hundreds of videos out of there of drunk students walking in on people having sex at the dorm, or even people having sex next to each other or in front of a roommate who's just ignoring it ).

If Priya tells Ji that she should never have sex in the dorm, Ji will of course also be asking Priya if *she* is going to honor the same rule and never bring anyone unapproved to their dorm. This is a non-issue for some, but there are players who probably do want to want to see Priya getting fucked in her own dorm, or Ji, or both, or getting into naughty/awkward situations with guys, and enjoy the fact that either of the girls is exposed to cum stains or whatever knowing that raunchy sex was taking place, and all the emotions that can bring.

So obviously, it's a conversation that should be had only for players who want to have it, not for those who don't mind. But that means I now have to *double* every single related scene that might take place in the dorm in case the player made an agreement with Ji not to have sex in the dorm, for the rest of the entire game. Which is not something any VN does, really. From my experience 'oh no, someone had sex here, now I can't be here or have sex too' is not a consideration for any porn game on the website that I've played at least.

But since I decided to get rid of most graphical elements, I'll see what can be done, should it prove to be feasible. but no promises sadly since it's a big technical hurdle. I can promise that Priya can come into an arrangement with Ji about not getting unaware, trying to avoid it as much as possible, and making sure that the room stays clean and aired out though, that's for sure.

Thats a tyler problem then, now ji woon has a roommate too, one who dont want guys in her room, especially not some scary beast like him who also fucks her roommate...it will conflict with the lesbian route anyway, so better sort it out as fast as possible, if necessary even by anonymous reporting him for his loud fucking in room *number*...

Going forward, though I always intended for Priya to pick whichever sexual interest she wants, I can see that a more strictly lesbian route when it comes to every aspect is something that quite a few people want, so I'll make an effort to reflect that more often in Priya's mindset and add choices to some of the current scenes.

You could enhance the scary option based on her cultural upbringing...sure, the guys are more on the scary side for her, but at the same time she could like ji woons open not repressed attitude, compared to the timid girls she knows from home it could be another spark for the lesbian fire...and thinking further about her clothes and her body, it could even be the turning point to drop the straight path and go directly to bi or lesbian from there.

So, if someone both isn't unattracted *and* doesn't like the attitude of the guys, the 'scary/not used to dealing with this' option would be the way to go. But it's true that in the prologue, there aren't a *lot* of perfectly lesbian thoughts or ways to increase kinkiness, since Priya does start out as a straight-leaning woman, but certainly it should be made available in the upcoming chapters. I'll probably also delve a bit more into sexual curiosity about women in the prologue with a few kinkiness bonuses to ensure a smoother continuity, once I release the next update.
Remind me, why is she starting straight? The Intro shows her as more or less forced bookworm with overcontrolling father, no private life and a ton of cultural bullshit. So everything she ever experienced was under daddys watching eye and controlled by him. Thats why she wanted to break free and went to amiland in the first place. She wants to experience freedom, do things her father wouldnt allow, decide for herself, ...why not also explore her sexuality? She said she dated a few "allowed" guys to make contacts and never went further than kissing...right at this point she could be thinking something is off or missing...for the straight route some less formal boldness from the guys, for the bi route some open minded less traditional thinking and for the lesbian route...well, an other gender ^^
Naturally i know many lesbians and very few started straight, mostly only the cultural/religious repressed ones and the conflicted or abused girls, but some thoughts in this direction are always there, thats not a flash out of the blue that hits and BANG "hey, i like girls". The good thing, you dont have any other girls in the prologue, so you can skip the hints like looking after some nice ass or tits, but you already have a few points that would allow to define the sexuality/route.

I don't know, it could be. I might be the odd person out in the adult game community who can't quite understand this, but you're telling me that this girl from one of your favorite games with sunken eyebags, lifeless pupils and wig-like hair isn't a horror character? Or these? Last I checked, animated porcelain dolls are a *staple* of horror movies, which is what 3dcg characters basically are. No offense to the dev, it's just the limitations of Daz3D itself.

Do some people look at it and go "This is Unreal Engine 5 tier graphics right there."? I don't get it, maybe someone should explain it to me at some point. I guess it's a matter of what you're used to and therefore willing to compromise on.

So yeah, I touched on this in the last post, a lot of what you said is definitely getting implemented in the next update, and while Priya probably falls under the category of culturally repressed one, the gradual direction is going to be there. With new options in the shower scenes right from the get-go, an extra choice when changing inside the room and talking to Ji Woon, these are actually all finished.

The 'no guys allowed' part can be a major hurdle, but a strict arrangement about privacy and personal space and schedules is guaranteed to be included, so that Priya is never exposed to something she didn't opt for. I'll try to see if a total restriction on dorm sex can be implemented, but that requires writing double scenes for a lot of sexual encounters or flirting for the players that want dorm sex and for the ones that didn't. She can go to a guy's dorm, but based on the design, personal items, etc, there could be different conversations, and it will be less realistic to show up at various times when a male roommate might be present, and it gets pretty tricky.

Depending on just how many scenes have the potential to be dorm scenes, which includes hanging out with *other* girls in a dorm room, and then that interaction developing into something sexual after something like a truth or dare or drinking or whatever, but wait - Ji-Woon might not be thrilled about *you* getting to have sex with others in the room, even if it's lesbian sex, while she doesn't get to have sex with guys and it could go against your agreement...

It would be a hefty amount of coding, so it might be simpler just to make a privacy and hygiene agreement and try keeping Ji's 'private time' out of mind, but I'll do my best for it.

Yeah, sorry about that, my internet is pretty fucked up since 14h, i didnt see your post before mine got finally sent...truth be told i nearly sent if a few seconds before if not for the "there are new posts in this thread" thing that showed me my post came through before i went to work. So i try to answer both in one ^^

Well, the technical side would be easy to handle for the "dont fuck guys in my bedroom" rule...the lesbian audience and those who follow the lesbian path dont WANT to see it, so you can just skip the hetero sex scenes there. If you come in and see them fucking in the straight/bi route, just come in a empty room in the lesbian route, use some time-filler text like learning, reading or something like that or add some masturbation scenes to avoid growing adult content imbalance. For the hetero/bi route you could also make another background image (male dorm room) to let her go spying for kinkiness points after seeing her room is empty...if you make that "no guys" rule general, you only need one other background image for the male dorm room, but you dont need to use 2 different backgrounds for straight and bi route. It doesnt matter where she spies or plays with them if thats the route you follow, but it matters that its not in your room if you play a lesbian route.
And speaking only for myself here, i could never relax or even sleep in a room that gets randomly visited by such a hulk...not without a weapon under my pillow and i am far from a represses coward. A roommate that enforces her will to the point i dont feel safe anymore in my room cant become a love interest, no matter what.

And if ji demands the same respect its okay too for the hetero route, then just use the second background again, as far as i know most males dont care much about decorating/individualizing their temporary rooms, so it can be tylers or the other 2 jerks room...or just an empty room that gets used by everyone for sex.
Um...okay...i always forgot how disgusting males can be, i tend to clean my stuff, so i didnt even think about a possible stain-kink o_O
Whatever, that would not be possible for the lesbian route, so you would need a separate image and extra text for it anyway because it would absolutely break the lesbian route if you start to collect cum stains or stay quiet if ji woons side reeks of cum and looks like a bukkake training ground.

And if you take the lesbian route...well, as it looks until now ji woon will be a part of it, no matter if its a relationship or casual, so the agreement "no guys in the room" dont excludes lesbians. Dunno what you plan, there could cause jealousy or not, but its no rulebreaker at all, especially since ji's room IS your room and it wouldnt make sense to go somewhere else to have fun together.
So from logical and technical view it needs a second room brackground for hetero/bi routes and yours for lesbian scenes...then you can paint the guys room with cum stains. Just a suggestion since i will avoid that picture at all costs and really hope i get it out of my head after sending this post *ugh*

In indie games, I value 1) concept quality 2) content quantity and only then 3) picture quality.
I find your decision to use AI-generated imgs quite cost-efficient. The concept, the story, dialogues are brilliant, and that's what really matters. Keep it up! Also, the idea of an Indian protagonist is quite refreshing. Don't mistake me for some diversity proponent, but that makes your game outstand from the mass, where White bombshell bimbos or Asian miniaturesque girls occupy screens. And she's not some south-asian looking doll, but a culturally-authentic Indian girl! A 'live' character with personality and family background. That's not a at all common in nsfw games :D

I'm aching to ask messere author: will the game be focused solemnly on corruption mechanic, or we'll see some romantic content too?
Any chance Priya will meet Ji's brother in the future?
Can we hope to melt the nerdy sysadmin-type guy's ice with some hot eastern passion? :D
Any chance to pursue an optimal path where Priya both expands her horizons, pursues her passions to a point, but retains good relations with her dad?
Any chance seeing preg content at least in some endings?

Thanks, much appreciated! At this point I'll probably just ditch realistic sprites and sex scenes entirely in fabor of text-based scenarios with backgrounds while keeping the heads, in addition to showong Priya's body and current clothes eother as a sprite or in a separate chatacter screen for those that actually want it, because I personally think its fantastic. I wouldn't even know what to do differently because many of the 3dcg dolls in even the most popular games can actually be just hideous and utterly artificial, and some I've seen 2D art criticized in many games as well, not to mention the limitations of painted sprites when it comes to detail.

But everyone is used to it, so they just focus on boobs or they just see a japanese schoolgirl with disproportional features and completely start drooling over it to the point of ignoring any tiny flaws because that's their fetish, etc. To me, when I can see an actual skin tone and texture, the thighs, the belly, the musculature, the curves, all completely real, and the face which actually still looks better than to me than most 3dcg ones, that's perfect. So I don't get it, especially since 0.11 when its more stylized. I can see it isn't the Unreal Engine 5 chatacter models that some people are probably expecting nothing less than, for sure, but not how Daz3D blowup porcelain dolls with creepy smiles or even most 2D games save for the best ones are somehow infinitely more pretty other than the fact that people learned to cope with them as an acquired taste.

If even the basic figures are so controversial, then there's really no hope for photoshopped sex scenes which are far more tricky. I could always just throw in a bunch of screenshots in square brackets of some washed up, heavy makeup, worn out porn actors with the fakest poses and expressions like all real porn games do, zero effort. Just copy and paste screenshots. That would make it as appealing to the crowds as those games are, but as I explained in an earlier post, I absolutely hate it and it completely ruins my immersion, and I'm not aiming for popularity or commonplace selling points ( Which is, as you point out, also why the game features female protagonist of a neglected ethnic background ).

This way I can focus on the story, choices, and make sexual encounters or events that are as inventive or crazy as I can envision them, with any frequency, wihout having to worry about the CG's. I have infinite A.I generated faces at least to put a face to the name, and with *both* infinitely more diversity than Daz3d as well as realism, so that's what I want to focus on.

As far as story elements go, I'm leaning toward more corruption. I don't want to bite off more than I can chew, as there are plenty of romantic otome games, while my direction here is to create as much of a rewarding, kinky, choice-based adventure as I can, but I think the purity path is boumd to be more romantic by nature, even if something like a full-blown elaborate falling in love and romance arc with every character isn't exactly in store. Th setting is supposed to be more of like a 'fun' college narrative.

Ji's brother, yes. Definitely intended, the corridor sysadmin, also yes - probably again along the purity path of staying away from bad boys, favoring politeness and hard work, etc. Could be something involving kinky path as well. Regarding her dad, ehhh, Varun wouldn't approve of pretty much the vast majority of kinky and bitchy outcomes out there I don't think, but at the same time, Varun isn't there and you can always lie...for now. Priya can already lie when switching clothes in the city.

Preg content, obviously not visually in the future, but stuff like unwanted pregancies, even abortions, possibly even birth and deciding what to do with the child, certainly.

At this point I'll probably just ditch realistic sprites and sex scenes entirely in fabor of text-based scenarios with backgrounds while keeping the heads, in addition to showong Priya's body and current clothes eother as a sprite or in a separate chatacter screen for those that actually want it, because I personally think its fantastic. I wouldn't even know what to do differently because many of the 3dcg dolls in even the most popular games can actually be just hideous and utterly artificial, and some I've seen 2D art criticized in many games as well, not to mention the limitations of painted sprites when it comes to detail.

But everyone is used to it, so they just focus on boobs or they just see a japanese schoolgirl with disproportional features and completely start drooling over it to the point of ignoring any tiny flaws because that's their fetish, etc. To me, when I can see an actual skin tone and texture, the thighs, the belly, the musculature, the curves, all completely real, and the face which actually still looks better than to me than most 3dcg ones, that's perfect. So I don't get it, especially since 0.11 when its more stylized. I can see it isn't the Unreal Engine 5 chatacter models that some people are probably expecting nothing less than, for sure, but not how Daz3D blowup porcelain dolls with creepy smiles or even most 2D games save for the best ones are somehow infinitely more pretty other than the fact that people learned to cope with them as an acquired taste.

If even the basic figures are so controversial, then there's really no hope for photoshopped sex scenes which are far more tricky. I could always just throw in a bunch of screenshots in square brackets of some washed up, heavy makeup, worn out porn actors with the fakest poses and expressions like all real porn games do, zero effort. Just copy and paste screenshots. That would make it as appealing to the crowds as those games are, but as I explained in an earlier post, I absolutely hate it and it completely ruins my immersion, and I'm not aiming for popularity or commonplace selling points ( Which is, as you point out, also why the game features female protagonist of a neglected ethnic background ).

This way I can focus on the story, choices, and make sexual encounters or events that are as inventive or crazy as I can envision them, with any frequency, wihout having to worry about the CG's. I have infinite A.I generated faces at least to put a face to the name, and with *both* infinitely more diversity than Daz3d as well as realism, so that's what I want to focus on.

As far as story elements go, I'm leaning toward more corruption. I don't want to bite off more than I can chew, as there are plenty of romantic otome games, while my direction here is to create as much of a rewarding, kinky, choice-based adventure as I can, but I think the purity path is boumd to be more romantic by nature, even if something like a full-blown elaborate falling in love and romance arc with every character isn't exactly in store. Th setting is supposed to be more of like a 'fun' college narrative.

Ji's brother, yes. Definitely intended, the corridor sysadmin, also yes - probably again along the purity path of staying away from bad boys, favoring politeness and hard work, etc. Could be something involving kinky path as well. Regarding her dad, ehhh, Varun wouldn't approve of pretty much the vast majority of kinky and bitchy outcomes out there I don't think, but at the same time, Varun isn't there and you can always lie...for now. Priya can already lie when switching clothes in the city.

Preg content, obviously not visually in the future, but stuff like unwanted pregancies, even abortions, possibly even birth and deciding what to do with the child, certainly.
I like the images, so all the sex will just be text based? :( why not just make an option for text based for those who want it, and keep doing images (add cum effects, and stuff in photoshop)? maybe that might make it easier? visible pregnancy is a big turn on IMO as well cum shots.

I agree, maybe going full text is a bit extreme. We want to see Priya in yoga pants and tube top! And without them, of course :DDD

Yeah, that's what a mean by "romantic": having normal college girl personal life and not being a village bicycle))
Ji's brother, yes.
Yaaaay! We'll get to bang a key-pop idol looking guy! (omg that sounds gay a/f, but I guess its not exactly gay as long as protag is a curvy desi goddess)

The thing about the CG's is that they require a fair bit of work and more work the more complex sex scenes or intimate acts are represented, but at the same time there are also bound to be more compromises when it comes to photoshopping a scene from a bunch of different images. Considering how much negative feedback there's been just for simple sprites, with a few suggestions even that the game would be better off without it, while a real porn games that just finds some porn actor and copy pastes their scenes can easily get 5x the views and no criticism, I considered that it's simply not worth it.

I could just replace everything with porn actors from sex scenes, but I consider it a travesty ( lol ) for my Priya or Ji Woon to be some aggressively fake porn actors with dead eyes and exaggerated reactions just staring at the cameras for a paycheck instead of looking like completely natural, no plastic surgery, no bombastic makeup, college students. Even if I'm apparently one of the few people who doesn't prefer that or gets put off by the general look of professional porn actors.

But if some people do like it, I suppose I could give it a trial period with an optional text only choice at the start of the game, explaining that the CG's, which are the only ones of their kind as they are not Daz, 2 Drawn, nor copied porn scenes, are experimental and also only appear as illustrations in scenarios where it was possible to photoshop it. As long as it isn't all for nothing, basically.

I always meant to keep Priya's sprite at least in a character screen, but an optional disclaimer also works I guess.

Yea, honestly i really like the art because it's unique and good as are the faces. it's part of what makes your work awesome and unique. If people don't want to see it they can just disable it tbh.
