open world with locked paths isnt "metroidvania", thats like calling elden ring a 3rd person metroidvania. anything described as metroidvania is a platformer and has complex levels. you may have been inspired by it but its still not metroidvania. this is a mechanic in most open world games. a quick google search should also help.
wikipedia: "Metroidvania is a sub-genre of and/or focused on guided and utility-gated exploration and progression."
This game is focused on guided non-linearity and utility-gated exploration and progression.
Elden Ring is not.

also
always wikipedia:
These games usually feature a large interconnected world map the player can explore, although parts of the world will be inaccessible to the player until they acquire special items, tools, weapons, abilities, or knowledge within the game. Acquiring such improvements can also aid the player in defeating more difficult enemies and locating shortcuts and secret areas, and often includes retracing one's steps across the map.
While early examples were usually two-dimensional platform games, the term has since been applied to and games.

Looks like this game has everythinfg a metroidvania requires to be called metroidvania

yeah pokemon was great when it had HMs I agree. Final Fantasy doesn't have it, unless you count airships and chocobos, which are only 2 "powers" and not 10+. SMT doesn't have it. Tales of series doesn't have it. Majority of western rpgs don't have it.
The game itself was designed to have as much metroidvania feels as possible
Still makes no sense, but you do you. Wish you well and hope you make more stuff.

Based on the 5th image, I can imagine there's going to be gay elements? Or will it be an option for the MC transforming into a girl?

Thanks for the explanation that the gay scenes are avoidable. So sounds like we are looking at AI translation not MTL as I have not read any complaints about the Engrish.

Not AI, it's a mix between me writing it and checking through translate if everything is correct and some native english speaker writing scenes for me, so there's like 20% of chance to meet some stupid grammar mistake lol

Not bad for an rpgm game, so far love the story and the girl is really fun, though for exp I would increase it a little bit so it doesn't become a tireless grind fest game, but for the rest keep up the good work.

Oh... OH that's where i know that name from. Wild crossover of my twitters subscriptions with f95. To be fair i'm subscribed to a lot of artists, but "Hasselnut" is definitely easier to remember than Jingisukan-Kōgan, Wuni, or some other japanese naming.

Two questions:

What's happening with ntr bunnies?

With the next release, patreon's build will have an additional 50ish CGs, 2 new whole areas, 2 new bulls, some new cool features. I try to add a new area section with 8/9 maps each month
Ntr bunnies is almost done, i'll add a couple of new bulls before steam release
