So confused right now. WTF have 2.0 so much less content than 1.0? 1.0 was such a good game but 2.0 is just a waste of disk space -.-

I want to say that this update is kind of a good idea. I mean, the positives are that the renders are much better, you've clearly improved your dialogue and story boarding skills, and the flow of the game seems much more natural and well paced. In that sense, this is a fantastic start and will likely make for an amazing game. The negatives center around... well... there isn't really much content. I understand the idea of pacing out a romance/NTR game because in truth both of those stories are better the longer they run, but this game wasn't exactly getting bi-weekly updates before. This release update covers about three days of in game time. I imagine we are likely at least 10-15 updates out from a full short game. 1.0 of the last game came out in July. At this rate, or a decent sized update every 4 months, we won't be looking at nearing a full game until around 2025 at least.

I'm only bothering to type this all out because this is a really good game with great potential, but the schedule really needs to speed up if you want it to gain traction. The last thing I want to see is this game slowly fizzle out into non-existance because the funding isn't there to keep the dev interested. The idea is, you wait until you're getting 5k+ a month on patreon and then you start releasing three times a year to milk it out (I joke). So, my suggestion is that even if it means releasing smaller updates you put something out monthly. I think that would be good for attracting more patrons as it would be more noticeable, because I know I'm not paying $5 a month (20 dollars an update) at the current pace, but will gladly give the same for consistent updates, and a lot of others probably feel the same.

So yeah, tldr improve release schedule elsewise restarting might not work out too well as people will lose interest.

I really liked this remake. It's weird to see different characters, but (even if I'm a fan of the first story) I really like the direction this one takes. I don't know why I feel like everything is a little bit more natural. Either way... I personally hope this is what the dev wanted or wants for his work. Also, it's nice to see Damien also has a story to tell and he's not just looking to have something with Claire. And I also loved the Rework that Claire's friend received (I THINK her name is Rose... Isn't it?) I really feel like she's not your typical slutty friend who leads her astray; it really feels like a reasoned person and good friend, I really liked it in general, I look forward to the next update, congratulations Mr. Typist!

I think you should continue with NTR no one trusts that the ''''''''''romance path'''''''''' is romance. It will be hidden NTR

I just started the game (with the mod) and in the first option with Clarie (after close the NTR) I'm almost sure that, if the only options with her are those (dominate her or be dominated), I'm not interested in the game:

Is the relationship with Clarie going to be femdom or maledom? Are there only going to be those options?

Usually I much prefer a love path to a lust one, but if love is going to be femdom (and lust maledom), then neither is likely to interest me.
Its a very basic way of gaining stat points. I can add stat points to any choice the player makes, it helps devs like me be able to create branching content. So, it doesn't just mean literally male dom and fem dom, it's just how I labeled those particular points.
I could have called it "Cod points" and "Battlefield points" or some random thing, but it helps me keep track. There will be plenty, plenty more stats to collect, you're just seeing some of the few in the very first release.

I really hope for the gallery this time
I recommend my discord, if you go to the love/romance discussion, I answered a lot of questions in regards to a gallery, and my implementation of it (Trying something new with unlockable costumes for special scenes and collectable figurines and such, along with achievements)

Also to put it more clearly, it doesn't give you a love or lust path simply based on these types of choices. It will just unlock different types of choices in future scenes. In this particular case,
You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.
so, in the future, depending on points, still on the romance path, you can have more options available to you based on your playstyle.

Thank you :)
It's important to me that each character has their own story this time around. Even the MC will have his fair share of friends, and people to have genuine conversation with about day to day issues. It's important to me, because I want to care about each character. Not just brush them off. And when you do brush them off so easily... I want you to feel at least slightly bad for it lol. Feeling conflicted for characters provokes thought.

I fully agree, i'm going hard each day and it takes it's toll, but as you said, it's sad to have a story take a long time to progress because it feels like a waste of peoples time. However, if I can keep up this pacing, I'll be achieving monthly updates from here on out. I'm already hitting the ground running, as one user said. My game folder is titled "A fresh start" so lets say cheers and hope for the best :)

Just a reminder:
shower hookups in the gym are not new opportunities, they are a quick pump with no meaning.
Things change as you both encounter new found friends throughout the city, and you both begin to wonder if you’re together for the right reasons, or if the search for something greater still exists.
A relationship, the longer it is, that is what represents exactly proof that ”something greater still exists

That is the higher meaning. That is the higher purpose.

You want characters to whore themselves to maniacal self absobed sex offenders in chance encounters?
Have at it.
There is no higher purpose, no actual maning to that. Gigolo/escort life is a job!

For a guy, any hookup is a quick pump straight into his ego:
Oh, look, another married/girfriend of someone else floozie falling for my charms.

For a girl, throwing herself to the asshole who gropes/molests her unashamed is a release:
I knew I could get anyone I throw myself at.

Those are not relationships, those are one time hookups with literally no higher purpose than the pump.

You are still referring to version 1.0?

In my newest release, 2.0, there will be very clear opportunities to stay faithful and rather than use others to your own advantage (Which could easily be a choice) you can also just conversate, which to me is a powerful tool if that something greater you're searching for is balance in your current life. A relationship doesn't just fall apart because you want to whore yourself out to women. It could also just be a lack of interest, maybe you struggle to find your own meaning at the time but are also putting in effort where you may feel you can't anymore. There are many reasons.

You seem to refer to the shower scene i made about 3 years ago with no experience what so ever, and I hope to be much better than that now lol.
