so you usally wanna play games where you can fuck around like a slut but if a girl does it its bad? seem fair lol

So you want the games you play to be a life simulator But if someone plays a game to enjoy a make believe Fantasy that's bad? Seems fair lol

People love to complain about minigames but I thought the fighting was good. Timings were a bit challenging probably could do with making the Easy timings go to Medium and making a new, slower Easy setting for the noobs. Also the controls were really unusual especially playing with one hand. I think you'd be better using WASD than QWER since people are used to that and then you'd have a natural feeling control scheme for left, right, down etc.

 

[UndergradSteve]

Thats okay, my inquiry wasn't about monogamistic relationship you see. More about whether the blondie is pursuable, will be pursuable or she is more like a plot device sidechick (her importance to the plot is irrelevant regarding my question.)

Of course if the question cannot be answered because spoilers and whatnot thats fine too. Its just i hoped to know if i managed to aim for a sidechick again or not. I'm a long-standing member of the Sidegirls Club. So i have a tendency to pick the girl i'm most interested in who fall into the "random generic npc" plotdevice category.

If a girl is, thats usually obvious in case of main girls from the get go so its an easy answer. Since i wasn't given one.. thats an answer too.

Sorry if I didn't answer your question, thought I had, my bad.

Yes, I'm gonna assume you mean Chloe with the blondie and she will be pursuable.

Hey there,

Thank you for your feedback.

I'll look into making the keybindings customizable for the next version so that players can choose what's most comfortable for them.

 

[UndergradSteve]

Wow great game like the progress system but hope we are not forced to play the typical alpha male harem cheracter like all other games.I love too play a more beta cuck cheracter even if most people prefer the douchbag or haram cheracter.

Thank you for sharing your honest opinion, I really appreciate it.
I'll look into making the way you play as up to you as possible.

 

[UndergradSteve]

You had me until you used that racist language that's somehow not racist because reasons. No different than saying colored people.
Anyway, will there be pregnancy or rape?

Rape is very unlikely and pregnancy I'm not sure yet but if is it's going to be a few updates until then.

MC got 3 incher lmao

Okay, just downloaded the game and I have to say: Fights need alot of work.
Interesting concept but the timing is way off.
Tried it on medium and couldn't react fast enough. Tried it on easy... still the same.
There is no pause at all between attack and defense and you have 1-3 seconds to judge what stance your opponent is in and react accordingly.
Lord help you if you accidently hit the wrong key.
My suggestion? Add in a clear indicator of how much time a player has to make a decision. Like a countdown bar you see in other games.
Is it more realistic that the player can very easily run out of time to attack and spend a fight frantically defending? Yes.
Is it fun to do in a porn game when one hand is used for scrolling and the other is.... used for other things? No, at least not in my experience.

Also, Is there any benefit to playing out the fight rather then simulating it?

Hey there,

I'll look into making the easy difficulty a lot easier in the next version.

I might also make the simulation auto- win

There's no advantage in either choice. I do feel that a lot of players enjoy the option to "prove themselves" as fighters but I also understand that some people do not enjoy it as much.

Uploading a hotfix in the next 2 hours to fix it. Thanks for reporting the bug.

 

[UndergradSteve]

yay so Harem definitely planned, please tell me you Don't have plans for NTR/Cuck stuff, I usually like playing games where you know the girls are loyal to you and don't want no other dick but the MC's XD

Hey, thank you for your feedback.
I'm not planning on doing hard NTR. However, I care about a realistic experience and your choices will have a strong impact on how much the girls like you, what they're willing to do and whether they want to stay with you.

 

[3D Reaver]

sigh another game with a manlet protagonist. wish they would at least be average and not like 5.4

 

[UndergradSteve]

Also apparently I need a to wait for the walkthrough mod and replay through part one...
I thought I was sure I was picking all the "boyfriend" choices but I got rejected by Lauren. Must of missed something.
Will wait and play it when the mod gets updated.

Another request to the Dev: just show which choices get you +1 Loyal, +1 Confident, or +1 Bro. With how heavily influenced the game is by these points and the fact that they lock you out of choices people will NEED to know where these points are so they can get their favorite girls.
Point in case. Instead of me enjoying your game, I'm forced to wait for a modder because I have no idea what collection of choices just closed off my favorite girl.

Hey there, thanks for sharing your honest opinion, I care a lot about your guys' enjoyment and will look into what I can do to improve it.

Your choices do not give loyal, confident or popular directly, but rather they give bro, boyfriend or troublemaker points which are then calculated into your personality trait.

It helps the realism, but I can see how it makes it hard to get what you want. I'll look into making an optional mode that shows which choice does what.

 

[UndergradSteve]

With our lovely Mod, (thank you Sir Leon) I managed to get Lauren to agree to date due to my "loyalty" stat.

But with what you're saying, and what i'm seeing, it seems that from a player perspective, without knowing what girls need what points we are all just kinda blind, fumbling and sorta "Hoping" we've collected the right kinda points for the girls were interested in, No?

That seems like it could quickly become a nightmare.
Like with the final scene, If you choose Aubrey, you can easily get her to show you the last outfit, with Penelope though... it seemed no amount of "Troublemaker" points could get her to wear it for you. Tried with both Loyal and Confident traits as my main traits going in.

I understand the frustration. I'll try my best to make an optional way that eases this pain.

I've focused on realism and I do feel that you can guess what's important to the girls based on the way they act and talk. This is what social interaction is like in real life and I understand if that might be less fun in a game so I hope the option to avoid it will help you enjoy further updates more.

As for Penelope, her personality wouldn't be convinced into wearing it, now matter how charming the guy is. Therefore, no matter what you say, she won't wear it. You have to think she's also barely known you.

 

[UndergradSteve]

How frequent are the updates?

Free updates every 2 weeks and Patreon ($10+) get weekly updates.

 

[SpikeZg]

i like her

Respectfully it's your game, you can do absolutely anything you like though unfortunately for me if NTR Isn't (Avoidable) I'll have to pass... For me NTR is still NTR, good luck with all the hard work and development ahead though

 

[UndergradSteve]

Whatever the purchase of the costume, I have this mistake (see attached picture) !

Will be fixed in the hotfix coming in the next 2 hours.

Thank you sooo much. This is incredible and I'll try to fix as much of it as I can for the hotfix that I'll upload in the next 2 hours.

 

[UndergradSteve]

I am getting the same error with penelope can't progress.

Thanks for the bug report,
working on a fix, uploaded in the next 2 hours.

QTE aren't a good idea for a VN, better if you give the player the option to play it really easy or change it to something tactic like.
The point system for the girls can use a bit of help too, It's not that easy to get the right trait to get X girl. In my original run I got the kiss and the holding hands with Lauren, then I replayed to see other options and I fucked up things with a couple of girls. Maybe you can add a npcs roster with their bios and what traits they like.

Now, Penolope is another qt but :
Chloe > Penelope > Lauren - Redhead - Lauren sister >>>>>> Nora >>>>>>Aubrey >>Cheater

Thanks so much for your in depth feedback,
Love the idea of bios. I'll make the easy version a lot easier for the hotfix.
