Hey everyone!

I wanted to announce that I was finally able to lower prices to match the dollar currency (because finally, Patreon gave me the chance to view and confront the different currencies).
This is something that many have asked...so I'm happy to deliver :)

male protagonist? There was till now only the lovely red head. Is this added to the latest version o_O I don’t mind playing a guy for NTR content otherwise I personally prefer female MCs too.Don’t make me scared! xD

But it’s still nice to see a new update of this great game with tons of potential and what I read with all the relationship stuff points etc it sounds amazing and really passionate which i really appreciate! Thanks for working and sharing mr dev!

It's unclear to me why this game isn't more popular than it is. Original story, good character / world building, lots of choices and variables, not in engrish, seems well coded, and it's not like the renders are horrible or anything.

I can provide at least a little insight into this, at least from my perspective.

First of all, this game has only been around since about August. It's a slow process gathering patrons and popularity. So, it shouldn't be all that surprising that it isn't more popular yet.

Second, this game has a lot of issues. I'm not saying that I don't like it, I'm just saying there's a lot working against it:
  • Science Fiction seems to be a really difficult genre to gather fans in "Adult Interactive Fiction" (aka. Porn Games)
  • Currently I've only played as far as the Chapter I title screen. In that time, it has been incredibly unclear what the plot of this story will be.
    • At first it seemed like it might be about a sexy debutante who happens to be the daughter of the most powerful person in the universe, and her corruption/sex adventures
    • Then it seemed like it might be about her getting kicked out of society and having to survive in the cold, harsh reality of normal people in a dystopia.
    • Then it seemed like the writer decided to skip all that and jump to her having a safe and stable business in the dystopian, but before we could guess what that meant
    • Suddenly it was about Fergus McGaelic trying to solve the mystery of the murder we already saw happen, disprove that the princess was guilty when we know she is not guilty, and before we could get attached to that character
    • Suddenly he finds a significant clue in a place that should have been scrubbed clean (aka. "Makes it Easy!") and we're off to Chapter I title screen where we're apparently back to Princess M.D. and her RedIce presumably super lucrative business in the dystopia
  • I agree that it is well coded and the english seems grammatically correct and the renders aren't horrible.
  • There's a reason I keep coming back to play this game every new release. Mostly, I keep wondering what the hell the story is.
  • I don't agree that there is even a single well written character in this game yet, except maybe the Princess's eye-bot.
  • As for world building, it's not bad, but seems more like a tourist view rather than really getting to know any of the places visited.

My initial opinion of the game was based on me playing up to the point where she got locked up for the murder only shortly before the 3 month time jump.

I strongly dislike that it had a "3 months later" just thrown in there. 90 days is a huge amount of time to simply fast forward the story is in a critical moment. With the way it was written up to that point I was very much under the impression that would be less safe and stable at this point as you said. She goes from wealthy elite bigshot to homeless criminal on the run overnight... and it skips 3 whole months of that!? That is a part of the story that should not have been skipped. I could see if we played like her first few days on the streets then skipping maybe skip 3 months but on day 1 we skip that? Come on...

Yea I can also see the tourist view point after skipping the 3 months. The fucked up thing to me is if they changed the "3 months later" image on the screen to read "The following morning" instead and changed nothing else it would be significantly better. Get out of here with that 90 day shit :D

I kinda dislike the whole "Stealth Sandbox" model as well... What's the deal with making a game in visual novel format and it being a visual novel for an extended amount of time then out of the blue... "Here go play in the empty sandbox"

I definitely see your point.

Hello guys, I'll try to answer your doubts and criticism.

First of all, I can easily say that there is a reason for every developing decision that I've made.

@L7Bear

It's called Prologue for a reason, you know?
If you're still missing the point of the plot you should read the overview in page one of this thread, it's all written there.
Of course, if you're just 'incredibly' impatient and you want everything as soon as possible, I'll tell you from the start that this is not a game for you. This will be a story with three distint chapters and it will take it's time.
Until now you've played the prologue that explains the past of the MC. Now, with Chapter I, the real story begins.
Skipping those three months had sense because, otherwise, you should have played a character that remained hidden in a room for all that time. They used that same time to repair the old factory and remodel it into a semi-working clinic. And the fun fact that you have defined her business as "safe and stable" makes me realize how much attention you may have had in the entirety of the story...no wonder you still have to grasp it.



@yihman1

I am still amazed by how people could be so ungrateful. I am a single developer doing everything by myself and you have the guts of calling it an "empty sandbox". Of course, it's empty because it's still in development!!!
And it's not that I'm earning millions of dollars out of this, I still have to pay bills with my main job. I dedicate the rest of the time to the development of everything else.
To think that this comment comes from another "Game Developer". You should know more than anyone how much time and effort it takes to make a videogame, especially one with not just one or two decisions or routes. Shame on you.

Good thing that public versions will be limited in the future...geez.

Once and for all, that's not a male protagonist, he is a character that possibly will have a spinoff in the future with parts of the story that will explain a ton of the main storyline itself. Don't worry, it's just for a brief time and Elsa will always be the only protagonist.

Don't worry :) It was added in version 0.02a but it's just for a brief time during those 3 months of waiting in the game.
