Point taken, I will see what I can do with it in the future, but due to my extremely limited skills I'm stuck with making a 2-3 hour first release, and while I have assets for the sandbox environment,one of my main problems with BG is that stuff like getting enough relationships points with girls to take them out on dates ( which is funny since you would need a walk through to know the relationship levels) is that it was tied to the main story and there wasn't a consequence for it which would have made the sandbox elements more interesting.You could make it a sandbox game with no grind though. Keep the map for the important areas, and just give the players the choice of which task they want to take on next. Who they want to go see and persue, talk to, repeatable sex scenes, etc. That's always my favorite kind of game. There doesn't need to be any challenge involved or have choices that change the outcome, as long as I can pick which thing that I want to do next.
When its just a one-way kinetic novel, it honestly gets boring for me, even when the content is all the same, and I sometimes have a hard time remembering who some of the characters even are, given that with porn games I'm bouncing from one to another as updates are added.
however I plan to make mine like hail dicktator with a simple interface and well explained quests along with a cheat that allows you skip the grind and focus on the story ( which is my personal preference,but I understand your situation due to some bad games with cardboard for characters ) or the DeLuca family that has consequences to story choices,while have an ok mini game with a area to explore and increase relationships or trigger events.
