What a great start for this update. Nicole proved once again why she's the best girl.

Ending was a surprise. I was sure that father was going to get shot when I saw ending of the previous update.
Wound like that shouldn't be instantly deadly, so I think it's just plot device to bring her and MC closer.

Bass player from that other band was quite hottie. I'd like to see her to join the harem.

If Julia dies then I'm dropping this game and every other game the dev will do in the future.

I liked AL until the fire and then we have the same shit here. How is it relevant that Julia dies? I thought Michael would shoot one of the band member but not kill them. Then they wouldn't be able to play for a time. It would create problems for the band and they would have to chose a replacement. And all kinds of troubles can developp after that. Having Julia dying would kill the game because MC would feel guilty and stop playing music. His sister's death will fuck up the MC and I don't see anything good happening after that.

I like drama but this is just morbid. You play with us players Mr Jet because you don't have an incest patch but you create a hot sister and make it seems like something is going on with her and the MC. If you shot and kill her I would say you're a sadistic person.

MrJet I think that the writing in this VN has some significant troubles...
I don't see any problem in presenting certain events without the presence of a protagonist. If the story would have been narrated in the first person (from the eyes of the character), it would have been weird, but not in this case. So what you're talking about is just your subjective opinion.

As for the last event, it is exactly as it should be. And yes, it has to be "uncomfortable". The player knows that something bad will happen, but he does not know anything concrete.


I am pretty sure that the last scene will be different for everyone. Someone will like it, someone will get upset, someone will get angry, and someone will abandon this game at all. I knew it when I had planned this scene (it was a year ago), and I took this risk, believing that the game will only benefit from it. And most certainly, I do it not because of some childish resentment for the fact that some players demanded a romantic relationship with Julia. No, it was a considered decision.

Although some players wrote to me that they had foreseen all these events, and some said that it was too sudden and appeared literally out of nowhere. In general, as I said, everyone took it in their own way.

However, I want to remind you that you look at the game in fragments, and I see it as a whole product. That's why when the game will be finished, the whole experience you get from it will be a bit different. And I hope that there will be less dissatisfied people than those who actually liked it.

PS: I want to remind you that despite some drama of recent events, I always told you the main message of my game will be to entertain you, not to make you sad. So just wait for the next update and maybe everything will be not as bad as you think ;)

MrJet,

First, I play ~160 games from f95 including this game which is one of my favorites. Second, I was fairly certain that you were not just winging it when developing this game, which you confirmed.

Third, and I think this is the most important part.

You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.

In my opinion these are the main reasons for most of the negative reactions to the scene. While I am not trying to tell you how to write your story, I do suggest you consider your audience before doing something like this.

Waiting patiently for the next update.

With the most recent development and morning-after scene with Nicole, is there ANY hope that she, in the remaining story, will become a legitimate love interest? If not seems like a waste of a great character. She has this Everything Is A Transaction vibe going on and it would be great to see Our Hero break through that.

Hope is always there, my friend:p
Though i dont find planned LI as the most appealing girls as well (my personal LI favorite would be Emma (sorry Jane), while the most appealing girl overall is Julia, and the hottest fuck-buddy is Rosa (sorry Cath)), unless MrJet has whole team working here, adding additional LI/branches/choices hardly can happen.
Yet, in Hope we believe:cool:

Yeah, Nicole is amazing! I don't think she's gonna become a LI, but I hope we'll get more scenes with her in future updates.

Just finished the update. My conclusion is he just shot a great game. What a pity. ...
We still do not know what will happen in the next update, if she does not die thanks to this situation the bond between the MC and Julia will strengthen and we must see how the father takes it, if he blames the son or stops fighting with the MC and realizes that the happiness of his children is worth more than his wishes.
