As a Black guy myself, I always appreciate the rare times a MC is black. Also, I am usually more interested in the story side of things for games so this is a nice change of pace while still keeping some sexual tension. As long as there are sexy moments as the relationships evolve with the love interest even without hardcore penetration and such, I will be fine. Looking forward to the future development.

Oh neat, a Black mc and it's not one of the same two busted character models used in every other game. Excellent.

But yeah, a game on here that won't dwell on the sex scenes is unlikely to be a run-away hit. If I want to play a game that doesn't contain porn there are plenty of those available. Like Minesweeper. Or ... Tetris I guess can be a bit suggestive. Asteroids almost has ass in the name. Um, Wipeout?

Have been avoiding most new games with school settings, but a black MC seems like enough of a mixup for me to be interested.

Although hard-locking the CPS is not a good way to start. Why even keep the text speed slider if it does nothing?
Having to choose between reading at a crawling pace and double-clicking for each dialog doesn't make for a good time.

Also agree that the game does seem to be actively trying to chase away players with that intro. Maybe the aim is to curate the playerbase, but this ends up sounding a bit puritanical. Adult games are the one genre where PG-ing your sexual content is more likely to shrink your audience than expand it.

Guess I'll wait for a couple more updates to see how it goes. Props for that save slot grid, though. 3x2 is way too small for a default page.

A very good start. Meaning something you don't see everyday here, despite the "going to highschool"-setting.

The girls, so far, are really unique. Not the girls you see everywhere else with minor differences.
I don't think I saw the fair valkyre Natasha anywhere else at all. The gentle giantess.
And there the crazy pink head, ok she is a bit cliche. But the thing with her eye caught me off guard at first. No I find the idea hillarious.

It is nice to have girls that don't look like supermodels for once.
The dialogues are good, even funny if you choose the right options.
I leave out Nyah and granny. They had to little screentime. Ok and I guess, and somewhat hope, granny is no incest LI. Incest wasn't ruled out in the introduction right? *shudders*

Joseph is the only one a bit boring, until now.

And of course there is metal. Hall of the mountain king right in the beginning, way to go.

As for 0.1 I would rate a total 5/5 and I hope it keeps it up in later updates.

For now I just follow on Patreon. Maybe later I throw some cash their way. :)

Interesting start, I'll keep an eye on it (ha).

The story is a bit generic right now. I don't want to compare a new game to long developed ones, but with a college setting that has fighting be a core story point, it's going to be compared to Being a DIK and College Kings. Perhaps with it being a college specifically to train MMA it'll be different enough. I hope so.

Having a tall muscular LI is unfair to the rest of the characters, it almost cements Natasha to always be my #1. Having her be a softie only makes her better.

Liliana at first put me off, but after the initial shock I think I like her. While I found her personality and quirks fun, please don't go too far with it. She's right on the line between fun and annoying, so be careful.

Joseph it just a dick right now. You've picked the right outfit for him too, every time I see a Daz model in that I instantly hate them. I assume that it's just for some early drama and to spur Marcus to be more competitive in fights. Let's just wait to see how he evolves, or not. He might turn into a bro, but it's not looking good so far.

I'm curios to see how Nyah will contribute to the story. She obviously is a big part of Marcus' life and has a relationship tracked in the phone, but she is not on the episode end screen. Though she is on the end card, so it's likely she will appear again.

I have no problem with a black MC. Ignore anyone that's butthurt about that, make the character that you want in your game. Also, it's nice to see a black character that's not the usual Daz models.

Not sure what you meant with the sex scenes. I'm fine with slow burn games, as long as they actually get there in the end. When you say no close up penetration shots, that's fine. While it's nice to see that, I much prefer shots where you can see the characters' expressions in sex scenes. The sex scenes are why we're all here though, so if you are saying they may not ever happen, that's a bit concerning.

Weather forecast predicts white fragility at dangerously high levels this week-end.
no one gives a fuck what color the MC's skin is... a black MC is notging innovative, STWA: The author did it way earlier, the problem is that MC is supposed to be freshman, but he looks like Jayden Smith after 20n years of drugs and failed psychotherapy.

I thought it looked interesting at first with the choice of a black MC, but having played the first episode it feels more like the dev went through a laundry list of tropes to subvert or avoid.
1. Black MC
2. Short MC
3. Unattractive MC
4. MC is a wimp
5. Black character likes heavy metal
6. MC doesn't have a big dick
7. No harem
8. Slow burn/erotica rather than hardcore

Nothing wrong with any of these choices, but all taken together it starts feeling like the dev is more interested in avoiding or subverting tropes than telling their own story their own way. But, some tropes exist for a reason and it isn't narratively interesting or compelling to do the opposite of tradition.

By analogy, if you always jump when someone says, "Jump!" then they control you. But, if you always jump when someone says, "Don't jump!" then they still control you. Better to just do what you want and ignore them completely, even if that means you sometimes, by random chance, jump when they yell that command.
