Me too! It was AI generated. You have no idea how much effort and how many failed trials it took me to demonstrate exactly what I needed from the AI bot :LOL:. It wasn't what I envisioned in my mind exactly, but it did the job, almost.

The screenshots are just images of the women, but reveal nothing about the gameplay elements. Typically when I look at screenshots I am trying to not just get a feel for whether there is art/actresses that I like, but also the systems of the game: time systems, energy use, stat systems, money, etc.

I get what you mean, but I am not sure how exactly to fulfill this. If you just want a screenshot of the sidebar, then it is easy, but I'm not sure if this is what you are looking for or if it will be of any help.

Well if the sidebar details any of those systems, if they exist, including that in a screenshot would be helpful yeah. Anything that gives an understanding of not just the taste in women that are there, but also the gameplay would be helpful. For instance, if you navigate by a list and just click on an item on the list, or if there are picture links acting as UI elements, that might be a good thing to screenshot as well. If there is a map system that would be good to screenshot too.

To be clear I don't expect all of these things to be there. I read your post about this mostly being a sort of demo/prototype as you get a feel for things, and that is cool. But whatever you do have from gameplay perspective, it would be best if your screenshots can display some of that and not just the actresses. Hell, if your sidebar details a stat or money system, you can have screenshots of that included with the images of the ladies. It probably wouldn't be a bad idea to include a screen with a sample of the game's writing, just to give potential players a glimpse of what they are downloading.

Best of luck with the new game.

Noted. I have not really thought that far ahead to be honest. I figured a few screenshots of the actresses would suffice, but you are absolutely right! This is the type of limited thinking that I do not condone for myself.

I have many things I still want to add, and I promise I will create some screenshots or, perhaps, a video to display the game mechanics, either soon or in the next update. I really appreciate this recommendation, evilspyder!:D

Good job! We need to be able to set the checkpoint function so that we can do more attempts

I would agree with spyder. Showing the actresses/art is fine, but it conveys nothing about the game. Take that "other" html game, which has a very similar setting to yours - My reaction to two or three of those actresses is the polar opposite of attraction, but the game is one of the best here, for a number of reasons that have naught to do with individual actresses. Honestly, i avoided that game, for a long time, because the actresses were so unpleasant. Pictures can be changed (as is the case with that game having alternate image packs). What matters is the writing, game mechanics, and functionality of the UI.

Whenever I see a posting for a game with nothing but porn screenshots, my first thought is there probably isn't any meat on those bones.

Commenting so I can keep an eye, might try this out. Not sure if now or when it is further down the line.

Edit: I gave it a quick go... It didn't use my family name that I put on the first screen anywhere in the text, even though I typed taboo. I'd also like the option to rename the others in the game... there is a surname used that caught me off-guard and errm, I'd prefer to replace it with something else for my own playthroughs.

The story is not very different currently. It's very scene-by-scene similar to College Daze. Even to the extent of helping get the luggage out of the car, meeting roommate and his mom, going to the restaurant and meeting the waitress, suddenly interacting with strange powers, etc. To call people ignorant for pointing this out just makes you look a little sensitive to the fact, perhaps because you are aware of how heavily you dipped into College Daze's storyline and UI. I would highly recommend divulging from this copycat route, I believe you could make something on your own that isn't so heavily "inspired". Good luck.

Fair enough. I will try to add a screenshot or, if possible, a video that clearly displays the game mechanics and UI elements.

Yes! I added the family name text box mid-writing, so I did forget to fix it up before releasing. I will make sure to change the family name as well.

Look, I do understand where you are coming from. I really do. But, I have played a couple of Adult games, and I can’t tell you how many times I have seen a luggage scenario before or meeting waitresses in a restaurant. But, you are right, and I can understand how this looks from your point of view. All I ask is a little patience until I actually do introduce the story in the next phase of the game. Thanks!
