I don't like when developers lose money either- especially considering I support many of them. However, Alex screwed up on this one, big time. I know this has been said, so this will be a repeat, but when I play a game I want to play as the MC. This should be obvious. And as the MC, I should be the first one to get or ignore (as in the case of a NTR route) the supporting characters in the game (think, The Tyrant, Babysitter, Love & Submission, etc.) So, playing as Alex, I should've had the option to go after or ignore Tasha first. If I chose to ignore Tasha in favor of Ala, then I would've been OK with David banging Tasha first. However, as the game was written, Alex (i.e., me) had to sit and watch as David corrupted Tasha and then banged her first. Getting Ala as the consolation prize (because that's what she is as there's not clear "Ala only" route) does not help. This is just plain stupid.
Additionally, I see another obvious problem that Alex has. He (I'm assuming he's male), has seemed to make it somewhat ambiguous who the main character really is. Is the MC Alex or Tasha? It's certainly not David- at least based on how the game dialogue reads. If the MC is Tasha, then it's perfectly fine that she chose David over Alex, but since the game is seen from Alex's POV, he seems to be the obvious choice as MC. And so again, my first point applies. The game should flow through the MC, and this game did up until the cottage weekends started. Alex should've had the option to stop the visits (or go along) from the beginning. The fact that he didn't tells the developer really preferred David to be the MC, and decided mid-stream to change the course. And if he wanted David to be the MC, he should've written the game that way from the beginning. I still would've played it, and been perfectly fine being the rich prick banging all the women in the house!
And yes, I understand he's supposedly re-writing the story to give Alex a chance to intervene, but the damage is clearly done.
