Yea getting called gay, not getting a key in sub freezing weather, and getting called a stalker is world class roommate stuff.

Verily the stuff of dreams.
Yeah, I get that they are sexy roommates but...well...I understand that some devs want to give the players content in their first release or every release but the way the characters act isn't logical at all. Heidi had a creeper/stalker last year that Athena had to chase away and yet, the first night the MC is in the house, she leaves the door open as she engages in sex with Athena. She's had 1 conversation with the MC and now is trying to entice him into watching lesbian sex... The fact that he declined and she then called him gay makes her very unattractive to me. Using gay as a pejorative to goad the MC or player is tasteless and makes Heidi even less appealing.

Perhaps Heidi gets off on having people watch but her creeper just took it too far or was too obsessed about it. Maybe we will find out later. But as of the first release my interest in her is in the negatives and, by association, my interest in Athena is zero. They look great but their behavior is a turn off, including the PDA at breakfast. That's awkward to see the first morning you spend with two new people.

I definitely think that the two of them can continue their FWB relationship uninterrupted in my play through of the game.

And clearly sarcasm isn't in your repertoire. They just met, she is simply being joking and teasing, want to fluster us in a kindly manner that is by no means malicious as some new roommates do. And sure, the writing could use a clean up a bit around that, but even still it's not that big of an issue and can easily be mended.
I'm glad someone this also aren't they college students? I don't perfection from any of them, expect young and dumb shit lol.

I didn't have a problem with the girls teasing Mc because I saw it as just that.. teasing and nothing more. I didn't feel anything malicious coming from them, but that's me. Right out the gate I could tell that the girls joke a lot, especially Heidi so it's not a big deal to me as it is with others, women like to shit talk just as much we do. I'm also not about to get into what's PC on a porn forum, save that for the Libs and Cons. Try to take into consideration that they're young also.

I am curious though about Heidi and this stalker/creep situation. Athena said that the Police chief didn't believe her when she filed for a restraining order, stating that he believed that maybe it was Heidi who was infatuated with the stalker and not the other way around. Maybe there's a story there and that little bit of information are the seeds at least I hope so, because to Mr. Friendly's point she looks hypocritical otherwise.

Overall I enjoyed this game Athena is an early favorite for me. There was no engrish, mc seems okay, the girls acted and behave a little childish for my taste, but if they're fresh from high school that's to be expected I guess.

We're hoping to update approximately every six weeks, but we realized these chapters are going to be pretty beefy (the rest of the chapters should each be twice the size of our first) so we're unsure how realistic that is. But we're working hard on it.

Just do yourselves the favor of never stating a hard date until you have everything done. Too many developers will say that they will have the game done on X date and then when they blow by the date the mob finds their pitchforks and torches...

And you two have done a really great job of communicating which some devs fall down on too... Looking forward to seeing what comes next.

Yeah, we made the mistake of setting a release date for the first chapter. That won't happen again. We'll be holding off on announcing updates until beta testers have the build in their hands.

Great start so far, love the renders. Condom is a bit ehhh, but I suppose that's the limitations of daz. Although it would be nice to have a bit of un-reality in that its not used at all.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Don’t worry, it was just a one time thing added for realism. Was an absolute pain in the ass to use so never again lol. Glad you enjoyed it!

Eh, I'm fine with weird looking condoms... Condoms look weird. But I've heard that rendering them properly is a real pain so I understand if we never see them.

A pain is an understatement lol. I was trying to do a more complex animation but it just wasn’t cooperating.
Yeah, I've heard it was a nightmare before.

I honestly want to learn how to do all the Daz stuff but it looks so intimidating and I feel like I have no idea where to start. Anyway, I think the visuals on this game look amazing and I applaud everything you've done so far in terms of rendering. Don't worry about the small stuff (condoms) when it comes to "realism". To me the drape of the fabric and having more than one outfit is more important.

That’s exactly how I was when I first started. Just completely overwhelmed, so much going on in daz, but once you watch a few tutorials and play around about it, it becomes much less daunting. Now I just really enjoy creating things whether it’s for the game or not, it’s just really fun.

I think I need to do that. I don't have any plans to create a VN, just need a creative outlet. Any chance you can share the tutorials with me? Or list them? No worries if you can't as we've strayed far from the subject of your game.

I’ve watched a lot of “Thundorn Games” on YouTube and also just experimented a lot. As you said it’s a great creative outlet, so if you decide to give it a go let me know if you need any tips or anything :)
