I truly hope you guys stick around to see the story unfold as the story is the biggest asset of the games I make.
So what ill do as you asked so nicely... I'll clear up who is who in the zoo taht are currently in the game.
Li's / Gf will be between Tania and Andrea
Harem we've met them in the city, all i can say here
Sidefucks and i guess a bit romantic part to them will be Anne, Summer, Asami.
Straight up sidefucks Honey, Gabi and Charmane.
Samara... let's wait and see seeing as having a boyfriend is a problem to lots of folks, so for now ....?
Hope this helps.
Thanks for the clear up. I firmly believe it would've been much more frustrating for people being kept in the dark, then getting a nasty surprise towards to the end when things doesn't go the way they'd expect. At least this way, those who aren't interested anymore can leave, and eventually the air's going to clear up around the game regarding this issue. I for one amongst those who won't stick around, although my decision comes because the direction and style of the writing, given the comments you gave so far. Whether you read them or not, is up to you of course, but instead of just blurting it out that "yo, this shit is wack", I like to explain such reasons detailed (not in every case of course, but for example here I do think I should).
One of the problems I see already is the format you choose. You don't make a TV show, or a movie or a book, with several focus characters in the story, or where the people are only watching the events unfolding. You're making a game, where interaction from the player is an absolute must to progress for the story, other than just clicking. I mentioned it an earlier comment, that the game won't play itself. As for such, you decided to make the game with a singular main character, and from that point, the story should be told from his point of view, events should be witnessed like that, and even the scenes that don't include him should tie in as an important aspect to the story he plays the main role in, be that a scene in the past, present or future. Anything else than that will be seen as a needless scene that only serves for the purpose of derailing the story. To me, the scene where Amara and her bf is screwing is kind of like that, it seems to serve the purpose to show that this is a sex game and expect sex in it, but more importantly, the last scenes at episode two, the conversation between the prostitues is a prime example of this. As of now at least, I don't see a scenario where the point of view of two escorts that only connection was just cut, or that conversation betwen them will become a super important scene which will help the plot in a way that couldn't be done in any other way. The part where Anne called her and told her that their meetings are off is where it should've ended. Honestly, I dropped your previous game entirely around the beginning of part three, because by that point it became way too jumpy and often all over the place with all the unnecessary side scenes that I eventually found myself just clicking through. As I said above, it doesn't fit the format. As of now, I only saw one game that managed to pull showing side scenes here and there without them becoming irrelevant for the plot, and actually helping the players to understand the story better as a whole and giving a better insight. It's something many had tried, but failed with because they missed this aspect to them.
The other problem I have is what seems to be your definition of harem. Having one or two definitive main girls, then a bunch of side pieces that occasionally join on the action, is not a harem. There is of course the old school definition of a harem from 1001 Nights, where the Sultan uses slaves without a choice and shit, which I don't agree with as well. A true harem in my eyes is something where in the center there stands one person, the MC in this case, but with every member of the harem, there's an equal terms of feelings vice versa, as far as how they percieve each other. XY at times jumping in the bed with MC and Taina for example, to be part of the relationship for a short amount of time period isn't one, but if XY and MC has a relationship that mirrors the one he has with Taina for example, as far as how they feel about each other and define their relationship, that's a harem scenario. From the description you gave, it seems that the actual harem will happen between Taina MC and Andrea, if that three way relationship is a possibility.
As a side note, I do think that presenting as an incest one and including harem as well, leaving out the relatives (I don't mind Anne that much, her characters is straight trash, Summer is another case though) from that, is penalty without a goalkeeper kind of chance to miss, but maybe that's just me.
This became much longer than I intented it to be, and of course, you're free to ignore the entireity that I wrote, but at least I gave an actual feedback rather than a "fuck this I'm out" type of comment.
