Every game where we see "dad is gone/dead/missing": Incest yep.
Every game featuring "Landlord/lady and 2 roomates": Incest with mom and 2 sisters, yep.

Either way it screams addapted for incest right there, but good luck either way. Atleast you gave the option to define relationships, instead of needing a patch.

That said, if you can give a nice spin to the whole missing/dead dad story wise, then who cares it's cliché. Good luck with the project. (y)

So if some cuck becomes ur patreon there will be ntr and cuckold.... No thanks, passing on this, not a fan of games that determines fetishes by money supporters and best of luck for that to not end up ruining ur game. Talking from experience of what i have seen with other devs.

I think you misunderstand, and I might have explained it wrong. The higher tier patrons will be able to vote on content I decide on. I do not like ntr either, so I will never even give them that option. I will however try to add as much content and fetishes to the game as possible, but not everything, just most. These extras the patrons can vote on will usually be added as either hidden scenes or avoidable situations as well. Hope this makes a bit more sense.
Thanks for pointing that out though.

Good Luck on the Game!!!!

Could do with a few more pics from the game. Right now I not really seeing much in the sample pics to tempt me to play this, then again it only being a v0.1 at the time I think I would hold off anyway. Still, should be interesting to see the game once it's gotten some updates under it. Games in which time control is a mechanic like this one boosts are rare, least as far as I know anyway.

What's wrong with a bit of incest you prude? The more sisters the better.;) If it's cliche, you should see the number of games where the MC is chasing old saggy women for some reason, I think people mistakenly call them MILFS. I mean whatever floats your boat, why not just let people write games and enjoy the ones you like and skip the rest?

Edit: Ahg, it Erik! Leave my sisters alone!

Not sure how to take that...
i didnt have lots of blablabla .... :unsure: :unsure:

i mean.. i dont know lol
You don't need lots of blabla with a chicken. It's more of a BURGURK you are looking for. Nothing wrong with a bit of hoener ficking. Perhaps you can work that into your game?

I am pretty new to this site, so I will change it the moment I know how, because playb0y44 setup this thread for me. I have asked him to help.

BURGURK is the sound of a chicken in distress. Google translate or a German friend can fill you in on the hoener ficking thing. ;)

Liked the intro, the right amount of explanation and handwaving without taking it too seriously. Time travel is of course a classic but the setup is slightly different here so I don't mind.

The rest is as cliche as it gets but I don't care.

MC is still sometimes called "Mike", so please correct that. And it sounds a little bit strange when Mom speaks about her sister as if you don't know her.

Thanks for the feedback, I will correct the "Mike" issue and see if I can change the conversation about Sandy's sister a bit. As they aren't major bugs, I will have them fixed by the next major update (v0.2).
Concerning the cliche's, there is actually a reason for that, but you will have to wait to find out ;)

Hi,

just some well meant advice from someone who's doing these things for some time.
  • Compress your images! At least use jpg, but much better is webp, because size is even smaller and webp can use alpha channel. Some of your images are 12MB, which is ridiculous for one image. It will look the exact same with 200KB or 250KB
  • Don't use so many image overlays where it is not necessary. Just create an additional full image instead. As a rule of thumb: If you don't have to click it (imagemap, imagebutton), don't use an overlay image, until there is a good reason you have to or it makes sense. E.g. Having a lot of characters in the same situation and sometimes it's character a, sometimes characters b in the same spot. Then it can make sense.
  • In case of image overlays that you need because they are clickable. Don't create separate idle and hover images if you don't have to. You can use im.matrix.saturation() or im.matrix.tint() or im.Alpha() to create a different look based on the same image.
    Check this link for how it works:
    There are cases where this approach doesn't work, or won't give the desired effect, but most of the time it does.
    Here are two examples with scaling, alpha, brightness and saturation:
    imagebutton hover im.Scale("gui/action_present_hover.png",33,33) idle im.Alpha(im.Scale("gui/action_present_hover.png",33,33),0.65)
    imagebutton idle im.MatrixColor(im.FactorScale(image_name, l_zoom), im.matrix.saturation(0.4) * im.matrix.brightness(0.06))
Apart from that, good luck with your game!

darkhound1 Thanks for the advice. I am always open to advice from more experienced developers. I will definitely make a few changes as you have suggested. The overlays are mostly needed unfortunately. All of them undergo some change or will undergo a change later on. I tried one picture, in as many cases as possible, but it did not work.
I like the idea of using the im.matrix. I will experiment a bit with it for the next update and also try to lower the image sizes.
Thanks again
