Thanks for the constructive feedback. I've added some of it to the "To Do" pile.
New update might come out this week. I'm almost finished, but I'm expanding the early Mom/Son date that was pushed to Day 8 and the renders are being a hindrance. There are weird positioning choices and the lighting just randomly changes from day to night and then back to day.
I've actually disabled the "incident" route for now. It was getting too difficult to integrate into the existing storylines now that I'm integrating scenes from future days into earlier ones. I'll re-implement it again when I'm farther along.
I agree about the internal apologizing with Karla's number. I'll restrict those lines to the BETA status.
That's a good idea about Sunny being warmer in some places. I think it would actually add to the "conflicted" dynamic she has with the mc. It may not happen this update, but I'll review her dialogue and see if I can add some more 'loving' lines.
So I've mentioned it before, but I've cut the corruption system from the rewrite. I would rather try to craft scenarios and relationship dynamics where the scenes could plausibly happen. And I'm not a huge fan of the mechanic in general. I think it 'overpowers' the story in almost every game I've seen it in. Like, you make a girl wear a skimpier bikini a couple times and then suddenly she's getting gangbanged in the bathroom. It's a net negative for character development.
As of right now (things are constantly changing), Karla will probably get sped up a bit. Emma may get a little slower. I tihnk she needed way more build-up in the original game than we got to justify some of the shit that she does.
In my opinion, what sets AVNs apart from normal porn is that buildup to a scene. There would need to be story reasons why the MC is gratuitously fucking the girls so early and often. Again this is just my opinion, but if a sex scene doesn't further the story, expand a character, or add context for future events, than I don't think it should be there.

Yeah, balancing is hard. It's constantly changing as I integrate more days, because I don't think a user should be able to get high numbers so early in the game.One thing I've noticed after playing the game in joiplay is how difficult is to gain Tracy love points, it is like somehow she is far more strict and angrier at the MC than the original while the point progression with Sunny seems to be similar save the casual mentions of her and the MC being "together" due to the incident(a little cringy the MC apologising in his mind when he asked for Kala's number, would be better for Sunny to be a bit warmer to the MC since the start to show more emotion than just being conflicted). No problems with Liza very similar options to gain points with her. The corruption system also seems to be stuck but hopefully you guys can fix it for the next versions as Corruption is kinda the main poinof the Culture Shock universe, a place where sex is just more normal and how the MC & Co adapt to it.

The incest storyline is getting sped up in many ways, if only to make the NTR more effective. It wasn't my intention to establish a pre-existing relationship between the sister and the MC, just imply that 'something' happened to make future events more plausible. I may have to rework their dialogue in the future.Would like to request faster plot development for the incest storyline specially if the MC and Sunny already have something together, which would mean an even bolder Sunny than the original(like when she sees the MC naked in the bathroom perphaps you can sneak some touching and even a handjob, improve upon small scenes and add some for the sis). I echo as the others did on the chat that we need more scenes for Kala and Emma those girls have always been one of the paramount selling points for Culture Shock and the MC barely gets with them let us fuck them earlier and more often in the Alpha Path. Hopefully you can keep up when the time comes threesomes in the same way or even better than the original.

That's actually from the original game. But I am removing her and some of the other characters from the menu screen in the next update. The renders just aren't there and you can tell they were added as possibilities, but then abandoned later by the original creator.Also noticed that you've listed the neighbour that welcomes the family as a possible girl and that's great as we only had till now the teachers and the Tracy-Eliza duo regarding older love characters.
