So I believe I’m all caught up on DD v4 now. Had some comments, of course:
PROS
That was a TON of content added at the school. An enormous roster of new characters to introduce/personify and I’m plenty impressed how you handled that so deftly; efficient, effective, and even organically. Props, brother. Nicely done. Needless to say there is plenty to be interested in there going forward. And I was pleased to see quite a few options in body types (and ethnicity) without much abandoning the way - and flair - you curve a pen. Real nice.
-plenty interested in Sifa. Miss Math Teacher is lava-red hott (I do love me a bit of a snotty asian kunt). And several others are certainly of interest. You built a lot of personalities there to choose from.
-Hospital: Dr Miller “the scientist”… wholly mollee. Looking forward to some of that! Most definitely enjoyed how the actual appointment with Lilith and Mom was handled. Real smart. Mom is simply handled flawlessly throughout the game; love it all.
-Appears to be some branching out/opening things up around town. Once you have more future options pieced together you might consider going backwards and fleshing some of that availability out. Lost “pages” spread around town is a nice attachment to that, for example (an organic time killer/consumer).
-I’m feeling plenty favorable towards Ashley. Like where all that’s going. Again, you’ve got a lot of personalities happening here and it’s relatively amazing how they all carve out heir own niche. Whatever her arc is, I’m into it ; )
-The Church thing is interesting. Make use of that Confessional, I would hope, eh?
CON
I noticed you made a change to Mom’s upper lip. Have to say I prefer her as initially presented, with a smooth/rounded upper lip. That’s a significant change, actually. I wouldn’t say it makes her less alluring but definitely alters her “softness” level. Some may find it more “fetching” or mature but I don’t think she needed it (nor benefits from it); she’s got a fine balance of maturity and innocence in how she handles things, assertive enough when she needs to be while the vulnerability factor is present and necessary to make it all work (imo).
I’m wondering how the rest of the board has received that alteration? As the creator it’s obviously (and respectfully) YOUR CHOICE to go with whatever is most preferred. But to my way of thinking, she had already met perfection prior.
Thanks for the offering, mate! Glad it’s out there and here’s hoping you find it rewarding enough to continue.
