I think they did it to give the game replay value. If you see everything all in a single playthrough, then there's not much incentive to play it again, unless you really liked the story. But by rationing the content, it encourages players to play the game multiple times and unlocking all the content through multiple playthroughs.
Not everyone will replay a game multiple times. Me, if I like the game, it's fine, because I never like all the girls anyway and usually there's only one girl that I like.

As someone who doesn't like to play through games multiple times, unless they're absolute masterpieces worth putting the extra time into, or replaying a game after years to refresh my memory. I am a bit hesitant to jump back into the game right now with the new update, after loading the game up and remembering some of the things that were a bit fuzzy, I remembered that I locked myself out of the Kori content by spending time with Hannah.

As much as I enjoyed this game playing through it the first time, I really do not enjoy this type of game design that just continuously locks you out of relationships with girls if you are seeing another girl. If I was someone who enjoyed playing the same game over and over, I'd probably be fine with it, but considering I really want to have the "Oreo" path, and can't get on that path unless I start over, it really discourages me to jump back in since I would have to start over. I would have to ditch Hannah too, which wouldn't be the biggest deal, since she isn't one of my favorites, but still, needing to replay in the first place is my only issue.

I'm not saying I'm going to drop this game forever, but I probably won't play this until some of the paths are more fleshed out, and I see the direction the game goes, that way I can plan out what characters I'll go for, and which characters I can pursue without it blowing up in my face, that way I don't have to replay over and over.

You have a really quality game dev, and a lot of the love interests are lovely, and I love the variety in women and kinks. So I don't want you to think I'm trashing your game. I know people who like there to be a lot of replay value will enjoy this game, but as someone who doesn't like to replay visual novels very much, for me sadly it's a negative.

Good luck Pablo3000, I will be watching the progress of the game and hope to give it another try in the future. :)

Yeah, the developer really gambled with this approach to his content. Hope it pays off for him.

No clearly it has not paid off for us. But we're making a game we like. You guys do you. I totally get many good folks want a single play thru and a handful of Wafus. I get it. Just not my jam or this game ::shrug::

Also, not sure you could do both paths if people weren't replaying the game. (58%). I suppose they could be switching it up though through one play thru.

The problem with defaulting to all the 'standard' approaches is, before longs, all games will just be riffs on each other. I know it's fashionable (or at least common) for there to be a tension between creator and audience these days, as fanbases seem to feel a certain sense of ownership over the creative process. I think this is a mistake.

Let the creators cook - its their vision that drew us in the first place. If the creator becomes too self-conscious of audience expectation, then every will just become a dull, bland echo.

Polls here are worthless... I never played your game and still voted...

You'll never get accurate data here... :KEK:
Polls should be done on Patreon for people that actually pay for your game.

I didn't say I put any faith in the poll.

Lot's of people dropping in to leave comments to tell me how I should change the game, but they didn't play or won't play b/c X thing. I mean we're 8 updates in on this project good folks. Do folks expect us start over? Tailor the game to your kinks and whims?

If we started over everyone would then accuse us of milking or abandoning.

Look the game is not your jam I get. I get it not for you lol. But nothing is changing. I can't help you. Shrug. There are a TON of other high quality games out there like "Friends in Need" and Rikugun Shikan Gakkõ, two really great and nice Developers who deserve you support :)

Pablo3000 Just played the update, thought it was short but pretty good. I really liked the scene with Natalie, but when I try to view the scene with her on the gallery, it gives me a error screen :cry: no idea if it's a bug or a problem with my save.
Anyways thanks for the update man and keep up the good work.
