Thanks for the great feedback, gunderson.I certainly like the idea behind this. Reminds me of some of the more experimental Twine porn games I've played. At this point I don't think it's especially important to know what all the choices do stats-wise, as this is mostly an interesting and well-written but glorified character creator. Presumably modders can do that (see College Daze's mods for example) if/when more content comes.
Content-wise, yeah, the tags should reflect what exists now. Which I'm glad to say there actually is some of. I was pleasantly surprised by the very first scene, for example. Nonetheless, this is very firmly part 1 of a character creation/introduction section, and I wouldn't say we really know what the full game will be like. I hope the dev understands that a likely slow reception on Subscribestar at this point does not necessarily reflect a lack of interest by viewers (I'm plenty interested!) but rather the fact that by the way this game is structured, players don't have a lot to go on as far as how it will develop, i.e. if this is a good way to spend their money or not.
Particularly, I want to see how well the dev follows through with their stated planned content in the next update. What that looks like should tell me a lot about whether this game is something I want to support or not.
What you see is essentially a month's work. I have also been working on structuring out 0.2, writing portions of it, and storyboarding 0.3 and beyond. When this dropped it's because I felt that 0.1 was in a 'pretty' enough place and the coding seemed to be bug-less enough to release it.
In actuality, I'm deep into writing and coding 0.2 and aim to release it as soon as possible with a planned deadline of end of May.
