Regardless of experience it is a question about prioritization. Any system takes time to develop and this is especially important when you have tiny teams (as is the case in porn games). A battle system will take away dev time that could otherwise have been spent on the story and renders and it would (in my opinion) not add much to the game. Story and character development could add far more to the enjoyment of this game than a battle system ever could. I like to take things slow so to me it would be frustrating and would ruin this game.
Theres animations later in the game. Not sure is there early ones, havent replayed it in a while.
Yes, that's what a VN is. To me it's more an interactive book than a game, and I like that. Don't play VN if you don't like this
I can respect that. It's all ultimately up to the dev. I will say that just because one can add something to a game doesn't mean they should add it. This isn't a first person shooter or a close combat fighting game, it's an adult visual novel. I generally prefer AVNs that don't change the original mechanics midway. It's one thing if the added items were planned from pre-release stage, but tacking on more bloat just for shits and giggles? No thanks. This game, through the first six episodes, has already struck gold with the story, characters, and lewd scenes. IMO, it doesn't need QTE or any other gimmicks. This game may not be an overnight hit, but it is steadily growing in popularity with each release. I'd hate to see a change in focus alter that trajectory.
Except it is not suitable for many players (myself being one of them). It depends on what you are playing the game for. I am playing it only for the story and adding what you are suggesting takes away from the experience.
I mean, BaD is also a VN but doesnt feel like a sleep simulator, not saying this game is but it could get even better.
I agree about QTE, but I would not consider the lock-picking in Skyrim as such. That was about touch and had nothing at all to do with time, which is the defining factor in QTE. Actual QTE is the worst sort of combat mechanic, unless that is the point of the game. Golf games are one of the few examples of where QTE makes the most sense as a mechanic.
Being a DIK is supreme but... to be honest... the developers are overdoing it. I don't mind the occasional minigame, having to miss some of the hottest sequences if you pick a certain path and so on. But it's gone so far, you are almost required to grind minigames (money, skills, pass exams, fix the mansion) but you are also meant to restart the game to pick the other girls you could not enjoy in the current path. And... it's not a "restart the game", but "redo a looooooooooong series of text reading, minigames again and so on and so forth. Yes, it's "optional" but guess what, the minigames wall out juicy bits that really make the game stand out.
I mean it make first/main playthrough more enjoyable, so i say it's worth it
