Just bc you and others like sth, it´isn´t immune to criticism. And there´s much to be criticised about this "game". Wether it´s the barely existing story, poorly made up sex scenes, the unfinished branches and plotholes, the stupid writing or the scheme of milking patreons and ALWAYS, always the hype about "i have hopes for the next update"-talk.
Whiteknighting stupid shit, won´t make the shit look good. It just makes that person looking dumb.
Well said. While there's a lot to like about the game, there's a lot not to like about it, and most people are giving fair criticism about it. The story largely sucks. People have put their own meaning into a lot of what's going on, including myself, but in all honesty, we're reading way too much into too little.
DS is indeed milking it at this point. The core story was about Max and his family. That's still not resolved, but now, ten updates in, we're still getting introduced new characters as a ploy to further delay taking care of that core story. I'll once again say that DS should just reboot this game, and do it properly. Start off the game with a good number of characters and locations from the beginning. Have Olivia be the neighbor girl who helps you move in and strikes up a friendship with Lisa while flirting with Max. Have Vicky be the coffee shop girl they meet when they go out for coffee right after moving in. Add a third sister. When Kira shows up, have her bring a daughter or her own or two. Give Max half-sisters from when his father was cheating on Ann during their marriage, and have that be the family his father left theirs for. And introduce most or all of this from the beginning. Maybe give us an antagonist, although I suspect that everyone would have a negative reaction to a male one after the Eric debacle. Make it one of the female family members, or some other woman. Maybe your father's second wife, who just found out about the family when her husband gave them the house? But then take all of these characters, and give them proper stories, and writing, and renders. Give us sex with Olivia and Vicky early on as we slowly work towards seducing family members. Then maybe cousins and Aunt get worked in next, followed by half-sisters, followed by full sisters and mother. With this many characters, the game could go on for years and still be fresh as long as there was decent writing. But the current game has gone on too long based on what it started with. The addition of new characters this late in the game seems forced, especially since they're not even related (as far as we know). DS can keep the current version of the game going for a while, but he's had a poor track record with updates for a while now, and I don't expect that to change. This game is already running out of momentum though, and the fanbase is growing increasingly frustrated.
