I'm going to share my opinion on here for just a second. I'm a huge fan of this game by the way but I'm just going to point out the inconsistencies and missed opportunities that could have made the game legendary.
If you create a rival character to the MC with a similar agenda of having a harem of beautiful women like Eric was intended to be then you also needed to program in countermeasures for the hero to beat the antagonist, the game had this potential built into the code at the start, the two stats of Eric's Influence and Max's Authority. These two stats could have been used to determine events in the game, for example if Max's Authority was higher than Eric's influence then the NPC (Ann, Lisa, Alice) would have chosen to watch a movie or hang out with the MC over Eric, likewise if Eric's influence was higher then the girls would choose him over the MC, simple game logic here could have determined more events/opportunities, for the player it's a challenge to keep Eric from boning his entire family and for the fans who liked watching the NTR thing (I don't understand myself, but not judging), giving it a win, win situation. Another stat called "Trust" could have been added between Max and Eric, so Max could give Eric false information and set him up to look like an idiot to the girls, this gives the MC another chance to sabotage his plans by giving him wrong information and setting him up for a fall.
Second point, Ann's logic. This was all over the place, yes Max was the peeping Tom of the house but let's face it, if your son hands you a photo which catches your boyfriend (who she has only known for a short time) masturbating outside the room of your daughter then any woman no matter how mentally damaged she is would literally throw him out and dump him. Ann spends all of the time Eric is in the game punishing the MC and turning a blind eye to what Eric is doing (her daughters and her sister). Her character improves over time but turning her into a porn star is not good writing is it?, there are so many other ways that this plot could have been written, some parts were good, credit where it's due here but other parts were just grasping at straws.
The hidden cameras, what a waste of time this was, the MC could have started his journey just peeking but when the cameras are installed why risk it?, just access the camera feeds from the safety of another room on the laptop. The hidden cams thing was a huge wasted and excessively grindy opportunity that could have been so much more.
The Olivia path ended up being a complete wasted opportunity too, I mean players could have taken that path and then merged the Olivia and Lisa girlfriend path together later on, as it happened this was not DS's fault as the Patrons voted for the focus to stay on Ann, Lisa and Alice but giving away that much creative control to the masses of followers he had was a bad idea in my opinion, DS was too tidy a guy when it came to this, he should have continued with his original vision of the game and not handed the creative strings over to others. Like I said DS is a decent guy and I spoke to him via message on a few occasions so my criticism is not aimed at him personally as I like the guy.
The lack of updates for Aunt Kira, this was borderline criminal that a character this hot is created and becomes a bit part player with very little interaction with the MC, she's the porn star and got the least amount of sex with the MC.
The way this game was developed also didn't capitalise on the strengths of the Unity Engine platform, like for instance interactive objects, animations, during the MC and Ann's massage scene the platform even supports the use of moving the mouse to move the players hands to make the game fully immersive, also another good gaming addition to the game in my opinion would have been orgasm meters for each character, where the player is in control of when the MC has an orgasm and could prolong a sex scene until the NPC orgasms first. The early versions of the game were stats heavy like building relationship levels with the girls but none of that seemed to matter in later additions to the game.
My point here is not to create a flame war but just to illustrate my opinions on how this game was a missed opportunity, it could have been so much more and I would have loved for it to have become that, I am a huge fan of the game and I'm a little disappointed that it's not going to be finished anytime soon, I supported this game at the higher level for almost it's whole tenure on Patreon, so I'm not venting this opinion to run anybody down, it's just me putting down my opinion.
