Thanks for the reply,
I agree developers should consider constructive criticisms when they are valid, but without altering their overall vision. And let's be honest, there isn't much constructive conversations going on here. It's mostly just accusations of milking and calling L&P's patrons stupid. L&P set out to create something different with a pre-written story spanning 30 playable days. With meticulously posed and crafted scenes, based on the everyday life of a more conservative woman and her slow and more realistic decline into sexual depravity.
I find it to be a refreshing departure from the typical instant gratification porn games that permeate this forum. Now, do I wish that most games progressed this slowly? Absolutely not. Now that would be painful. But I do need character development, build up, and context for sexual scenes, in order for it to be exciting. Because without those things, CG sex scenes do absolutely nothing for me. There are other female protagonist games that I found enjoyable for a little while, such as "Lily Of The Valley" and "Anna: Exciting Affection" but those games seem like they are just written as they go, and those ladies have already nearly fucked the entire towns in which they reside, and so the sex scenes are no longer exciting for me. What L&P has managed to do, is keep many if not most people, at the very least interested and intrigued with his game. I wouldn't call that milking, I would call it building up to a climax.
Having said all of that, I do have concerns. Such as, the potential for developer burnout during such a long project, and the long intervals in between updates for a game this size. But, now as his goals are being attained, hopefully he will keep to his promises and be able to work on this full time, as well as hire some help. Someone to do coding and translation, as well as an animator would be a great start.
I do realize that this game's slow progression isn't for everyone, and in it's current state makes the anticipation a painful wait. But I do think that most players, in hindsight will find the future sex scenes very gratifying with all of the build up that has occurred.
And best regards to you as well.
