RPGM Demon Deals [v0.06a Public] [Breadman Games]

You say all that like it's a good thing!! It seems You and I have very different priorities, I don't want to be "rushed" through a story and I definitely don't want the writer to cut corners to get content out fast.
The world is full of porn if all you want is some pretty pictures to fap too, what I'm searching for is a story that draws me in, engages me... The journey is the most important aspect of every Story.

I think the right balance between player exploration and impetus for the story to be completed can be struck, the game exists as an endless summer but in the finished product I feel like giving stakes and risks for the story is important, and I think we can find the amount of time/days in game where it's a factor but not a stressful one for the player to consider

Ehhh. It isn't so much about cutting corners but rather keeping the writer on their toes. Having a set deadline in the plot keeps the story progression going. Anyone who has attempted to write fiction will inevitably encounter the issue where the story just sort of drops off at some point. If you don't address the issue properly the reader will get bored quickly. There are many ways of dealing with it: prophetic dream sequences, flash backs, jumping to a B Plot, etc, are popular tools to use when things start to slow down. But alternatively you could apply the aforementioned 7 Days to Save The World strategy and go all gas no breaks on the plot. The story can't slow down otherwise the protagonist fails.

As a side note, I think a good default time setting for your typical 18-19 year old protagonist in a porn game would be that gap between the end of High School and the start of College. Somewhere between 100 and 150 days. The choice of going to college or not puts a clear deadline on the story, will protagonist move away in the fall or will they fall in love and stay? The point is that even from the beginning of the story the end is in sight. You don't know what it will be, but it's there and you can literally count the days to it. Having that kind of clear direction can make writing easier because no matter how many twists you pull along the way the end is there waiting.

This is getting a bit off topic though so if I want to keep ruminating I should probably post in general discussions.

You could just have Lilith plant an explosive device somewhere within the city limits, only giving Jon clues when he taps another ass.

I've set the final scene for you.

Leslie *biting her lip while staring at Jon's massive wang* I know it's to save the city, honey. Will you respect me in the morning?
Jon *staring at her boobs* Uh-huh
Ashley *drooling on the floor in a puddle of cum* Soooo goooooooodddddd

BUT!!! Plot Twist!!!

While riding Jon, Leslie grabs an invisible Lilith, kissing her on the mouth and rubbing her butt. Leslie is an angel, and she's known about Lilith the whole time, just playing dumb. She convinces Lilith to stop the bomb by licking her clit. Jon becomes the emperor of the world thanks to the Savage Wang. I get more Ashley and Goth Chick scenes.

Yep I agree, you absolutely need stakes/risks to make a story interesting, I've said nothing to the contrary (at least not intentionally), but stakes don't have to mean rushing the player. I'm not going to criticise you for using trobes/cliches, it's a porn game after all and you have to use every trick in the book if you hope to maintain productivity, I'm simply hoping you'll throw in a few surprises and challenge some preconceptions in an effort to prevent it from feeling too formulaic.

I wrote everything down on a napkin because I'm forgetful. Where is that son of a bitch anyway?...

Absolutely agree

You've just turned Lilith into a better new Batman villain than writers at DC can come up with.
