Hi guys,
just found this thread, big thanks to the author for this huge shout out! This is my very first game and I'm excited how many people have already played it and liked it
The reviews are especially overwhelming, I can't tell you how happy I am for these kind words
I'm also glad you realize how much work went into this game, because I spent a lot of time on ideas, setting it up, and I still spend a lot of time updating it.
I also see some misconceptions and complaints here, so I try to address them as best I can.
First, I will talk about misconceptions like minigames, dom/sub path or femdom/futadom and missing events.
- The minigames are only job-related and completely optional, so there are no penalties for not doing them. I never intended to make minigames for anything other than jobs. It's just another way to earn money and have fun if you like minigames. There will be some benefits and achievements associated with these jobs, but they are not mandatory in the game.
- The Dom/Sub path, it doesn't work that way and I've already tried to explain it in the Character section of the game description. There is no sub/dom path, there are only people, and people have different personalities. Some are dominant, some are submissive, or some want to be one or the other. So it's really up to you how you want to live in the city and how you want others to treat you, and not on the path you set when you start the game. Just talk to people, ask questions, you know, get involved.
- Missing events due to complexity, well, the futa content is optional and can be blocked by your choice (coming in version 0.2). It will be a fully deliberate decision on your part and if you decline futa, you may miss these futa events and scenes. Besides, you probably won't miss anything. That being said, some characters are more focused on a certain fetish. They prefer to do one fetish over and over again, and if you don't like this fetish and reject that character over and over again, they might stop offering you lewd scenes. But it won't be like you turn down 1 or 2 scenes and they stop, they tell you everything in advance, so you always know what's going to happen. My advice, just enjoy the game and do what you feel is right and don't think too much about what you should be doing. Some fetishes are for you, others are not, and I can't justify everything for everyone, but I think that everyone will find at least something here. And you can still unlock the scene for memories, go back and choose to refuse it, it's really up to you.
Second, I want to address complaints, mostly mechanics and characters.
- The mechanics aren't there to punish players, but rather as a game cycle. A bit of realism, more engaging dialogues and character reactions. This game is in it's core a visual novel, so dialogues plays very crucial role in the game. And there's a lot more mechanics and stuff than you've already seen in v0.1, just wait and see and don't worry too much about it, I'll add multiple ways to deal with those things.
- The characters, well, I see a lot of complaints here about how the women look. Well, I spent about 3 full days on every single character in the game, so about 20 days on characters alone. So it's not that I don't spend enough time on them, it's more that I didn't focus on beauty, but rather on realism and telling a story through facial and body features. For example, MC has a baby face, because he's been looking for shortcuts all his life. Dr.Meryl has a bit of a cold/male-ish personality, so it shows on her face, but she is female so she has a very feminine body. Jaaga and Katja have very strong jaws, because they are fighters. They also have very muscular bodies from pumping iron, and if you've ever seen bodybuilders or fitness people, they usually have these strong jaws, because of the tension during exercises... I have already made a few new characters. I spent about 5 days on each one and I still keep coming back to tweak them a bit. Character creation is a skill I'm still learning and I can say it's hard to balance what I want to say in their faces/bodies and making them look nice. I know people would rather see beautiful characters in this type of game, but sorry, that's not my main goal.
You've probably already noticed that this game is a bit different from other adult games in many ways, and if you keep comparing it, it'll probably fail before it really shows you what it's all about. As for me, I want to focus more on the characters, their personalities, their depth and a good experience/enjoyment of the game. So I hope you can overcome these stereotypes, these games usually have, and enjoy the game for what it is instead of complaining about what the game isn't or the things the game lacks.
