I loved this game, it did feel it could have gone on forever if the developer wanted however I can see he decided to quit while he was ahead and started a new project. So good luck with the new game and I hope all your future projects are as good as this one.

Actually, the dev didn't "quit while ahead", it was always planned to be an 8-episode story, no more, no less, the dev did everything he set out to do with this one.

Instigating a flame war isn't the solution to this either. For every person that will rate this one if not the best vn's out there, there will be many more who come here for a porn game because this is a site dedicated to porn games. This is a divisive VN (Or porn game depending on what you think) and will always be one but the thread is made for everyone to voice their opinion (Despite that it's the patrons opinion that counts to DrPink).
its not my intent to Instigating anything, like i said everyone has right to his own opinion and i dont even care about this, for fuck sake my friend doesnt like this game and im not busting his balls about it, im just asking how the fuck hard work can be worth one star, thats what i dont get, the logic behind it interest me the most...but then again u right it wont change anything. i made my case

Its just an expression from poker, it means he stopped playing before he got into a bad streak. Meaning, the game was finished and it didn't suffer in quality or critical reception by the fans. After such a successful game, maybe the next one will be bigger and better? Fingers crossed.

This does kind of feel like the end of an era, I am hoping this game will inspire other game developer to bring their A game when making new games.

I hope so too and I'm sure it will, after all, DrPinkCake was inspired by Depraved Awakening, his favorite game here because of the incredible writing and all, so perhaps AL will rub off to a new up-and-coming dev in return :)

he makes a good point though. People who rate this 1* are just butthurt babies. Seriously, I even rated the atrocious game The Family Secret 2* for the excellent renders. This game has among the best cinematography, musical score, sexy ass models, good renders, incredible character depth. Tell me these are not objectively true. How can people give it 1* for having a "bad" plot twist?

"Waah.. I used to love this game, but I can't get my threesome anymore. 1 star!" That's not a review. Its just whining.

As fan of Acting Lessons I still have a sour feeling in my stomach due to the random choice to kill one of the MC's, it felt entirely forced, inorganic and unnecessary. There literally was no reason to make such as drastic decision. What purpose did it serve? Who did it benefit? Yes we know that the illusion of a magical threesome between two beautiful women and a man is just that.. an illusion but was killing one of them off really necessary in order to "Snap back to reality"?

You could've easily had them break up or one of them move away but instead you turned a great Novel into a lousy episode of Law And Order. Even in soap operas they give viewers a glimpse of an foreseeable future but Acting Lessons went from pleasantly divine to incredibly dark almost instantaneous. We all shuddered at the thought of that White trash, abusive prick Peter potentially raping Megan when he had her cornered, we also gasped a sigh of relief when we found out that that wasn't the case when she escaped from him.

But then you had to "Jumped the shark" and killed one of them. There was no alternative route... which there should've been. No way of avoiding Leah, which there should've been. Just an half ass Slice of life rhetoric that "Hey shit happens, it's life". Then there's the ending. The Devs was obviously bias (in my opinion) in there decision making, I felt as if they wanted the MC with Megan all along. Her ending was better, her character showed growth and maturity after the tragic death, while Melissa pretty much stayed the same. We almost have to wonder if both of the female... scratch that, ALL of the female protagonist would've been better off had they not crossed paths with the MC in the first place.

You might not intend that but someone might read that differently to how you intended it. At the end, that's their choice and their opinion. Opinion doesn't have to be supported by logic. It's similar to how some might think that the "change" that happened

Um just in case you haven't been reading there's at least 100 or so pages worth of critical "debate" here. Sure it might not be the same in the patreon threads but in here well that's a different story.

That burning house scene, I don't think it was to 'break up' with one of the two, it's just the fact that people die in fires every day, you just can't save them all no matter how hard you try.

I get what you are saying too. I don't have anything against people voicing their opinions in the thread, but I wish people were able to be a bit more mature and objective when writing reviews. Emotionally biased reviews don't really help anyone. This is something that can go both ways btw. People giving 5* just because they like a fetish or whatever even though the game has glaring flaws. I may have been guilty of that before too, but I always try to explain as objectively as I can.

Likewise with what you guys are saying it'd be awesome if everyone put aside their feels and looked at the work that way but we all know that everyone's different so it doesn't work like that. As you guys understand that's my point but we all have to do it respectfully. I think the past 100 or so pages have shown what happens when the respect isn't there. The world isn't fair (As AL's shown to us) and you guys raise great logical points but it's about doing so with respect :)

i gues i didnt care about last 100 ranting pages and didnt even see them :cool:(lucky me i guess) i just knew how that 'decision' will affect some of the players. Funny thing about it though is that most of the rant is happening becouse people cared about the girls and just cant handle it, have that said though i wont compromise or lay down becouse some pointless fucking whining, i hate that shit, but u right and i dont want to add more work to the mods:sneaky:
