HTML - Amore [v0.62] [CWS]

The game suffers from very bad programming which leads to weird slow loading time. I have no idea what it is trying to do, but every click to a page takes 2-3 seconds, this doesn't happen to any other sugarcube game no matter how bloated.

Not a lot makes sense.
Terrible interface.
Confusing characters?

You have to do things twice..such as Enter the pub Enter the pub. Leave the pub leave the pub.... Every time....

"You are standing outside Elsa's pub.
The sign states that the opening times are from evening [3] till noon [9]"..................Not entirely sure what that meant.

The 'mother' who you call by her first name, eats a meal with you, says how wonderful you are, then the next scene says she can't stand you...or something similar if you goto her room.

Your stamina is odd... If you do pushups, then you have to go to bed till the next day because you don't have any stamina.... So, wake up, do pushups, go to sleep. ...... If you exercise you can't clean your room, if you clean your room..you can't exercise... because of stamina

Over lunch your step father lets everyone know he has friends coming over to gangbang the mother. She seems ok with it.

During a fight scene, it shows the mc as a girl.

And more of that type stuff....really bad.
Anyway...I think the dev decided not to update the game anymore or at least that's what I read in one of the posts.

There are so many characters, I think this is the biggest plus of the game. Different maps and stories make the game fun. The only downside for me is that sometimes we repeat the same things too much and this gets a little tiring because of the time system in the game.But overall, I still think it's a game that deserves 5 points thanks to its versatility.
Not: It is impossible not to mention the combat system in it, although it is a bit tiring, it really adds a different atmosphere to the game.

This is one of the most challenging games I have enjoyed, Sure it's grindy but if you know how to use EDITOR you can cut any part of the grind you want by changing the numbers, Thurley enjoyed your game, thanks

nice game and dev hard work is visible but only problem was, gave is fucking way too too long if played without cheats.. before the end of the game, one will definitely loose interest. The parameters to reach for getting relationship stats higher is way too difficult, especially when we are talking about multiple characters here.. whereas the achievement index is impossible. few of them are x50 or x100 times.. it is impractical to make things so long.. i would def say that dev did a good job with so less bugs but it also needs an intro of how can someone start earning at the initial stages of the game..

The pictures and story are fine. It definitely can be improved on, but the amount of time you're expected to put into it is unbelievable. I wouldn't even have that big of a deal with the grind if I could cheat, but the game's cheats are put behind a paywall, so it appears as though the dev's trying to extend the playtime at the expense of enjoyment. (And I don't think that's intentional on their part, I just think they're inexperienced.)
And I don't necessarily have a problem with grind in games, either - I play lots of games that have it, but I feel like no matter what I do, I'm not making any progress.
I'd suggest making it so that the player is more successful in the beginning and then gradually slow their rate of progress so it scales as their stats are boosted. This would allow some grind to exist, but decrease the frustration it comes with. I'd imagine this would be labelled as "easy mode" or something.
Or maybe the dev can just take off the paywall for cheats and not have to worry about changing the game.

While there may be some potential here, it just feels like a mash-up of ideas and once you actually get anywhere it feels unsatisfying.

To seduce the sister (even though the intro labels them as roommate or something), you help with their homework 5 times, then talk to their teacher and go back and then bam, the teacher "corrupts" them and you get +9999 relationship and it just feels cheap

and Desert Island King is so bad that it doesn't even have a save function

At the beginning I thought this would the the regular mindless grindfest. And it IS! But a quite fun one! I don't want to spoil it, but it is quite interesting, quite different and it has: brothel management, porn empire management, fighting, seducing, superheroines, 3.5 towns, drug dealing, magic items.. a lot of stuff.. The bad part is that when a game is so rich it often gets borring, scattered (and this one is also scattered), but in a good way. Somehow it manages to stay light hearted and fun, while being pretty perverted. Unfortunatelly, I will need to probably wait for a few months before any substantial amount of content is added. Anyway - good luck to the dev and thanks a lot!

The story here is pretty weak. When it comes to the second town, its really just a handful of silly events very poorly strung together. I think the "superhero" draw is actually bringing this project down.

For those who don;t care about any of that, theres plenty of easy content available here.

Really high quality content, visually pleasing and well fleshed out for an initial release.
Not too grindy, a useful guide, satisfying scenes, and a solid number of initial characters. A small amount of bugs or unfinished areas, but nothin egregious, and a very intuitive, fun play.

review based on 0.43.90 version
PRO:
- good content amount
- good game structure
NEUTRAL:
- what mean version 0.43.90 number? somewhere was 0.1, 0.2.32, 0.3.78 versions?
CONS:
- some scenes bugged
- almost no end_of_content marked (not all players able to read code)
- unreasonable grindy gameplay (actualy i like some grind, but not in this amount). many players dnt like overgrinding...

actualy, my "inner" rating was 3.5, flip a coin and... zahl, so only 3.
in current stage game is very good base for future development, so lets hope for intensive development

The grinding process is too long, for example from relationship of 100 to 10000 takes a very long time, but overall is a fine game to play with
Instead of adding more characters into the story, expanding the content of the current characters might be another area that you can look into
