That's cool, there will be plenty more in the later episodes! I wanted to be careful and not move too fast with introducing too many characters in a short period of time.
nice I will check later versions then. The image qquality and presentation is very good it is just nothing for me there right now^

Idk what I can say that hasn't been said here already. A fairly generic school theme with decent looking models and a delusional dev who thought his wholesome christian dating sim belonged on a porn site. Worst part is they used Alpha and Omega and it isn't even Omegaverse. When will a dev give the people omegaverse??

Okay, played Episode 1:

- First of all. Great, great, great work with the UI. Since intro menu you see there's charm here. But fonts are also well chosen, mobile UI is great...
- Appartment layout is what I was exactly expecting. Nothing fancy. Nothing even "good". And very well built!
- Love how many "Exciting" poses MC uses on the playthrough I've made. Gives lots of personality to the char.
- Is our personality going to change enough with the playthrough? For what I've seen on the final point and click, seems so, and I think that's great. Is what made another games around this place some of the most interesting around. Hope you can do it!
- About the characters: The four we've known are different enough to be interesting. Even Joe seems to have a lot to grow. That's cool.
- About sex: Okay guys, play it and tell me where the hell you would add it. It's a intro to the game characters, and Dev is able to present all of them nicely. If the guy is releasing the VN here I guess is that it is because we're going to have it sooner or later. Not sure if it will be explicit tho, and guess that's a risk they have to properly size as F95Z is what it is.

On other hand:
- Could you do something so we can advance text with the click? I feel like the typewriting effect is okay but VN use to be more direct. Click->Next text. Having to click more times is being a little stressful. It makes me look more to the text and less to the image, and I think that shouldn't be what I'm doing on a visual novel.
- I kinda always miss being able to be able to close mobile clicking around it. Think that would be a nice extra touch!
- I'm kinda missing the option of having a quick menu maybe? Not a fan of it, I like it how you have it, but maybe user experience could be better with it as an option. And skip button can be also useful for replayability. Maybe I simply didn't found it tho.
- I'm afraid about how long this can be? Like, you are settling a lot around. Hope you don't get too short or the game is not abandoned neither. Seems a big one to be your first game as there are lot of gameplay stuff that is a little presented to us.

I think my biggest criticism just starting out is that I don't think you need to have the animation for a character speaking happen again if there isn't a change in speaker. Unless there's an actual change in their facial expression it mostly just looks awkward and is distracting when they open and close their mouth over and over in a VN format

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.

There was a lot that intrigued me at first with this game as well, especially the aspect the developer was going for initially.

Unfortunately, when I read the first post on their Patreon, it felt more like the developer wanted to possibly bash other games in the same genre type than take from them what makes them popular. Playing the game somewhat solidified that feeling. I'm all for breaking the mold but to your point, it feels like there's more a focus on avoiding ALL of the cliches of those games to the point that the actual story is getting affected.

Still, nothing but the best to the developer because publishing a new game can be nerve-wracking. Let's see if there's some improvement moving forward.

Honestly, I really enjoyed this. I'm usually pretty burnt out on College games, but this was pretty fun. Nice art, music (metalhead here, so big plus), even the writing was enjoyable. A nice twist on the MC and the style of the characters. I'm actually looking forward to how this is going to play out.

Thanks much for your work Ezykeyal, and look foward to what comes next. ;)

Haven't played the game, but oh boy... you can see some of the worst scum of humanity in this thread already. Sometimes I'm ashamed of being human, really...
Ezykeyal some advice: Don't let people drag you down to their niveau, you can't win against stupidity, ignore facepalms (it will show as a like on your profile anyway ;)), get used to the report button, ask staff for threadbans if necessary, I see a few people in here that should be used to getting banned from threads already :ROFLMAO:
...and most importantly: do you thing! Don't let the few idiots decide what to do with your game, just because they yell loudest. The majority of people won't post anything anyway, they'll enjoy what's there and move on, unless there's a major problem.

PS: I always apprechiate unique characters in games, so even if I haven't played the game, kudos for that!

I agree with what recreation wrote and i kinda enjoyed playing it until i reached this point:

That is not how it works, no matter what mainstream media and certain groups of people want to push. Biology and actual events prove otherwise. Yes men and women should be equal but they are not the same.

Lol, I think that in a game you shouldn't feel that everything a character says it's a statement of the developer world view.. maybe itìs just what that character feels.. is it weird to think that a giant amazon thinks something like this?
