Hello Guys.
4 Months ago I wrote on this forum that I was going to develop a new game.
I wanted to create a VN using 3D Graphics and so on, but because of my shitty computer I literally couldn't. Now I still have a shitty computer :), but I found a new way of creating good arts... so I decided to create Big Apple.
It's still an early alpha. But I decided to release it because want some feedback from you about graphics and general gameplay.
I also created a Patreon page because I need a website and if I start earning something important I want to create a proper development team and make this "passion" a true work.
Right now I work in a small video game company, but honestly it's not fun like developing adult games o_O

Back to my project, my ultimate goal is to create a full life sim. Allowing the player to get different jobs, develop relationships, buy a car.
I know it may seem ambitious, but I'm pretty confident that If I manage to create a team with true skilled developers, that's completely achievable.

So, these are links to the game and my Patreon.
Let me know what do you think about it, especially if you like the realistic arts or you'd prefer a more cartoonized style.

There's a typo in the second sentence in the game, "There is no much content". Other than that what's there to say? There's nothing here. The art is okay I guess, for what little there is. I prefer a more amateur look to real models in games instead of known pornstars but that's just a personal preference.

Right now it's just an early alpha, I'll need at least another month to create a decent questline and more characters. But feedbacks on art are really important to me, especially in this stage.

Welcome to F95zone please contact a staff member to get your developer badge. :)

All pleasantries aside...
I really wasn't too enthralled with the photoshop filtered artwork. When using an oil filter the images need to be really large to work or else they get too wavy and unpleasant. I'm not trying to discourage you or be a dick, I don't mind cg illustrations and you did better than most attempting this with just the stock cutout & posterize filters. But if you are up against 3dcg games it has to be good or at least decent & unique. (Really we all can't draw or render but some of us still have the desire to create art)
I wouldn't mind getting my hands on a few of the source images prior to manipulation to see what you are working with as
I noticed just in the banner alone you are combining real pics + gta style illustrations with oil filtered art.

Not exactly. With some characters I use only shadows from real counterparts, that's because I'm trying to get a sense of realism. And yes, clearly my style is inspired by GTA. I can draw by the way, but manga... I guess I should keep trying.
