Thanks, I hadn't noticed until you mentioned it. Still hard at work doing animations for next release.

This really is an awesome game once you get the hang of it. Actually it's mostly story driven with the sandbox environment just making it more immersive. It doesn't really feel like a grind at all and the story is easy to progress. Honestly the renders, animations, characters, story and music are all amazing.
What I really want to know is whether there will be specific love interests you can persue or will you ultimately have to get with everyone in order to progress the game? So if you're happy with Tanya and Lia for example, will you still be able to progress the main story or will you be forced to get involved with Tiffany, Kara, Julia and the other girls too? Typically these sandbox games are harem only.

As far as progressing certain relationships, this changes course a little with 0.50. Previous to this the relationships were fully plot driven, however I am introducing a new relationship system that will allow you to opt in or out of any relationships. From this point onward, progressing the main story will deepen the trust you have with other crew members, however it will be your choice on how far to take it.
To clarify the above, it is essentially a tracker that shows your interest in certain parties. You have the three main central characters and then the others whom hold some allegiance to central characters. As you focus on one sector the index increases (with changing colour and facial expression), however decreases in the other sectors. Essentially at any given time you may be in the good books with one sector and out of favour with others. This is not static, and will change with every interaction you elect to undertake with crew members.
The index will control what lewd content is available at any time and will also be used to tailor the crews interactions with the player. Additionally I will use it to trigger certain events between crew members, such as Tiffany perhaps wanting to play a prank on Lia given the relative relationship score above. Whilst it will be possible to experience all of the lewd content in the final game on a single play through, it will require you to switch your love interest several times during the game. Also if you want to play like a monk from 0.50 onward that will be possible also.

Okay, thanks for the reply and clearing that up.As far as progressing certain relationships, this changes course a little with 0.50.

I was just concerned because with Lia and her people, it was all part of the main story (so no way you could progress the game without getting involved with her), but with Kara, she has her own side-story which you can choose to explore or not, and it wouldn't affect the main story or plot (if I'm correct in saying that).
So the other characters will probably have their own side-stories as well (separate and non essential to the main plot).
Personally, I'd prefer playing it monk-style (haha) with different characters on separate play-throughs. That way you get to appreciate the characters more and it also means more game time (so win win).

Outside of replaying, there is no way of viewing a bypassed scene. It's not something to be worried about as the scenes which you can bypass (other than side missions) are very short, so you really aren't missing out on much. Also note that when replaying a scene, you can try out different selection alternatives to see the alternative content. It won't make any difference to the main story though.
I suspect this is just the placeholder scene which is a single image and piece of dialogue. Hence you have merely done a second click after selecting Kara / Rachel in the shower.

I was right to invest my money into Lia! Best girl in the game for me so far! Next on the list will be Kara.

I would prefer if we get the chance to fix her hatred for men first before we build a relationship with her.

Some events can be "Bypassed", or missed. So a walkthrough could help people not miss these. But some users on previous pages believe explaining how to unlock "Engine Room A" or "Trading lessons F/G" is hand holding.

Even the most basic sandbox games explains the interface and everything you need to play.
The game is just lacking on that aspect, a tiny example is, to trade you have to go to a specific place in your ship, at a specific time of the day, which isnt marked or explained anywhere.
Why? Because the Dev enjoys in making his game obscure, kind of like a discovery, which is a terrible way to design games, but its his game, his choice, and there isnt much we can do about it.
I tried.
Every now and then i come back to see if the Dev has seen reason, but apparently it hasnt happened

C'mon, this isn't rocket science. A lot of players were able to play it without problems with the ingame help. Don't blame the Dev for your lack of ability to understand the game, the mechanism is very simple and there's no way to get stuck.
You have 8 posts whining about the same thing, and the Dev himself gave you a clear explanation, I'm starting to think you're trolling.

Being able to play it doesnt mean anything.
Yes, of course eventually you figure it out, like you said this isnt rocket science, but you shouldnt need to figure it out, that is why games have Tutorials and Walkthroughs.
You are probably too young, but games used to come with Manuals of hundreds of pages, explaining every single thing you could do on them.
This evolved in Tutorials.
Refusing to provide any kind of tutorial is a mistake.
And yes, i whine a lot about this, because its a stupid decision made by the Dev, and as a fan of games like Privateer, Freelancer or Starpoint and after getting engaged by the great Prologue and the very nice story, i wanted to like this game, untill i had to face the game itself.
Sure, i eventually realized that gold stars were main story quest, diamond stars repeatable events, silver stars character progression events, etc, and even after i figured that out i missed quests.
And dont even try to justify a quest log that only has Quest A, B, C, etc without any descriptions on it....

The tutorial is ingame and isn't to hard to understand, just need a little read comprehension.
And how you're bashing the Dev, yes, seems you're trolling, no need to be disrespectful to make a point.
Go play a game that you have to click on one after another to get to the end, maybe you don't need a tutorial for that (I can be mistaken)

I'll agree that there is no need to bash the dev, but in the game industry it is accepted, with exceptions, that tutorial that are implemented in-game are the best choice, of course not when they take the control from the player, but when they are either prompts, or instructions that appear once a new situation is initiated, I agree that it is possible to understand the in-game tutorial but a player shouldn't have to look for it.
