Crazybat - Maybe finally some scene with a male family member, although I'm still still struggling to come up with idea's how to introduce such an event without making it look/feel to redicilous! Maybe I'm over thinking it ;-) .

it seems to me in my memories that he has already stolen his pants (Brother), in the city there is a merchant who likes looked under his skirt at the checkout. we can imagine that the cashier is a friend of the brother showing him what he filmed, the brother will recognize the panties when she wears one and therefore will make her sister sing afterwards, we also have the father who is always stuck in his office he probably needs the love that his wife can no longer give him .... (I too have weird dreams)

anyway you will find i'm sure
Thxs for your thoughts. I was thinking about another male member in the first place. Will keep this in mind though.

for relationships at home, if the father or brother comes home drunk, and finds "may" showing off in the living room, something could happen with a male family member without him remembering it the next day or thinking he was dreaming.

I love this game and how you trigger the scenes, May's evolution is well constructed.
I don't want to tell you how to develop your game, but if I can allow myself a reflection, now that May is having sex, it would be a shame if she becomes a big bitch who sleeps with anyone, as one can see in some games. We can have hot sex and new experiences without her being a sex addict who can't hold back.
Thank you for the great game.
I have an idea for a while how thing could start off with the father.

As for you other point. The idea is she will have a lot of sexual interactions. It's a porn game with corruption after all.
I do try to avoid her becoming brain death, but she will be enjoying it more and more eventually.

Crazybat cool addition (stripper) :love:

about the video thing Not sure if it can be done correctly at such a high resolution.
But depending on the video you want to create you can approach it differently (if it is related with the strip club)
- create a map and replace it with an image with the strip surroundings. e.g.

- then use small images of her dancing to play automatically as event-sequence.
- attach the audio to be played during the scene.
Yeah I'm not sure that it can be done either. Resolution may be the problem.

The solution offered seems nice, but it would mean I would need to make the pictured of hers transparent.
Which is more work for me.

It's seems easier to just stick to my regular solution which is a series of pictures in sequence, since there already a dance animation in the game.
I was playing around with movies, because it would make the animation more smooth and in the end perhaps a bit faster too create too,

Yes, depending on how you approach it can lead to more work. When I posted it I had in mind something like:
- create the background
- place the stripper on the scene
- make transparent the enviroment except the pole and the part of the floor where she'll dance.
- create the animatiion with the transparent background.

This game looks really interesting, but idk what kind of monitor you need to play it. With 21 inch it's nearly impossible to see anything without hurting you eyes.

You'll need at least a monitor that can support 1280X960 resolution. Other than that it depends on monitor size in combination with the resolution you're running. If you're running a high resolution on a small screen or perhaps even 4k Resolution it could
become quite small. Also depends if you running widowed or scaled up to full screen.

I only have one monitor 24 inch 1080P to test in on though. It works fine for me.

I use 21 inch monitor and it works only in 1080p. I know it's not the best combination (too bad I didn't know it before buying) but all other HD-RPGM games still playable while in this one everything looks so small like when I'm watching some tutorials on youtube that were recorded from 4K monitors.

This is one of the reasons I made the sd mod

He talks about the font size of the text being too small.
I do not know if you intended to appear like this but if you want to change it you should modify the following scripts
"Window Base"
#--------------------------------------------------------------------------
# * Get Line Height
#--------------------------------------------------------------------------
def line_height
return 24
end

"Core"
FONT_SIZE = 24 # Adjusts font size. Default: 24
"Message system"
MESSAGE_WINDOW_FONT_SIZE = 24 # Font size.
and "Main"
Font.default_size = 22 # Edit as you see fit.

I just left it to default, since I haven't had many/any complaints about it being to small.
But I reckon with 1080p on and 21inch monitor might make things a tad small.
I'll see If I can increase the font size a bit in the next version.

Hi Guys.

Just a short update on what I've been doing.

Since my last update I've finished the new event with the neighbor. Just needs some tiny bit of work.

Next I finally decided to spend some time on May job as a stripper.
First step was to decide what kind of outfit May will wear.
So after hours of experimenting with different outfits I decided to sleep on it.
Having so many choices makes is kinda difficult to choose sometimes.

So after finally making a decision on her outfit it was time to think about the event itself.
-Which form? How long/big? etc.

In the end I've decided to make a combination of stills with a small animation.
I'm working on 2 events that will be the first 2 stages of this event. I've created quite a few cg for them, but with a lot less text this time *I think*. I think after completing these I will turn my focus on other events.

I might add some longer animation in future event for this job. I kinda looking for a balance on time/effort I want to spend on this job. I've an idea to add some small events in which May for example could give private (lap?) dances later on.

Next to that I'm working on some improvement. Added a option to increase May's movement speed.
Added the improved sex diary to the menu and added a keyboard shortcut.

I'm also working on some options for displaying the standing picture.
First option is to make it a bit smaller so it won't take up the whole length of the screen.
And another option to make it slightly transparent, so you can still see what's underneath.
This is something I feel that I should have done much sooner but somehow never got around to actually doing it!

Cheers.

Crazybat, are you planning to turn the girl into a regular slut who is just sleeping around with everyone like in most adult games? I really enjoyed her being shy, submissive and mostly following orders/instructions/directions from other characters.

Anyways, it's a really great game. My favorite storywice. Most of fetishes that I enjoy in adult stories and games are written exactly the way I would have written them myself if I was creating such a game. Many times in the beginning of an event I imagined how I would like story to proceed and to my surprise it happened almost 100% exactly according to that. I have never seen that happening in any other game.
Sexual scenes are slow, long and logical (mostly) which is really great. Nothing can spoil an adult game like long and unrelated to anything even slightly erotic story with extra short sex interactions. You did the opposite. Good job there!

The biggest issue I have with the game is game engine, which is outdated and really horrible. Unfortunately, porting game to another engine would take too much time so I don't expect that to happen ever.
But there are things that I would suggest getting fixed.

Firstly, most female characters are completely identical to one another. All of women are perverts and lesbians. When every single woman in the game wants to have sexual interactions with other women it seems really weird.
Besides, all of them have big/huge boobs. Would be great to see several girls with smaller/flat chests. At least for the sake of diversity.
Men actually are similar too. No, even worse. When women are similar, they at least feel somewhat alive. Men are just npc's. They just want to watch, touch and have sex. Switch two random guys and they would act exactly the same way in the same situation.

You just need to write a background for your main characters. Character traits, weaknesses, fetishes, etc that would make them different from one another. And then just imagine what such character would do.


Secondly, you are advancing content forward and creating new stuff while there are so many characters and branches that are just left behind. I would suggest instead of going forward, return back and expand what is already there. Garret's events, library and so on. There is a lot of grinding in this game and more events will make the process not so painful.

There are so many other games, where you almost instantly get access to all sorts of sexual acts (or you can't see a single boob for hours of gameplay and then suddenly characters start to screw one another like there is to tomorrow) and so little games with slow, gradual and interesting character development like in Coming of Age (unfortunately, only May is getting developed and all other people remain static). There is no point in rushing into hardcore content. Too much heavy stuff will make it boring, we have seen all of it so many times already in movies, games, hentai...

I generally don't post to other games, but I enjoyed Coming of Age so much that I wanted to share my ideas. I hope that you won't find my post as an attack on you or your game. No harm intended. Anyways, keep your great work regardless if you find my advices helpful or not.

Hi first off thanks for your feedback,

As for tuning May into a slut. Yeah that's the general idea I had when I started this game. She starts out shy and slowly open up to more sexy stuff as we go along. Sorry if that not to your liking but that been the plan from the beginning.

I'm still confused when people say they like the story when I truth I don't think there's much story. The journey that May is kinda the story. When I started this game I didn't see myself creating a good story. So I decided not to put much effort in that since I'd know it would prob suck anyways. I decided it was better to put effort in stuff I think I thought I could actually do.

Yes most character are one dimensional. Simple because I suck at that so again I haven't really bothered. I try sometimes but It's not really I'm good at, so I simply don't do stuff I suck in since it feels like a waste of effort. Better to accept I suck at something and move on. Would it make the game better? Probably , but it's already complicated enough for me as it is.

If you say all of them have really big/huge boobs they you haven't been paying attention.

The other waitress at the dinner has smaller boobs same goes for Gina cousin. As for one of the girls in the gym scene.
Gina's boobs and her sister boobs are smaller then those of May, but that may still be too big for your preference.
I'll admit many of then have bigger boobs, in the end it comes done to personal preference.

About going back has been asked before and I'll give the same answer again. Since I'm aware there is some grinding I at least try to change the environment and give it some diversity. I might add a onetime special event for older jobs later on.

This game has been in development for over 3 years already. There are countless teasing/slow buildup scene's.
As much as I like them it's time for more hardcore stuff if I want to finished this game before the end of the century.
I would hardly call it rushing into hardcore context after 3 years!
Then again it just comes down to personal preference. I bet they are plenty of people who think it all taking to long.

I get it people are passionate and want to see what's the perfect game in there eyes.
In my eyes such perfection doesn't exists.
I think it's better to value the game for what it is and that it will always contain flaws or you'll only end up with disappointment.

Crazybat Great game I've been playing this game for a while now over the years, my only issue is I've had technical difficulties when it comes to the webcam scenes at first i thought it was because i used the cheats and probably progressed faster them i should have but i started a brand new game in version 1.3 and progressed as the story is supposed to go no shortcuts and after the webcam introduction scene it told me to go buy new clothes and a mask and i did just that the following day in the game bought the items with no issue but when i get home in the evening to do the webcam scene it asks " do webcam show?" i click yes and nothing happens. i assumed maybe i was progressed enough with shame or confidence but even now shame:64 confidence:24 exhibitionism:19 and corruption:9 i still cannot proceed further into the webcam scenes besides the introduction i already completed. i have no other issues with the game with the exception of this. If you have any help I'd greatly appreciate it so i can further enjoy your game.

It's a glitch. Did you try setting the text speed to normal instead under settings before starting the event instead of instant as described in the read-me file?
