No thank you, HS crap is not my cup of tea.
calling games bad just cuz of their character creator tool (HS) is like saying any game that uses daz3d is good, and we all know that's not true
not tryna force u to like anything, just think you could give certain games a shot without having an unprecedented bias against them, some devs can do really good work with the tools they have, including HS

Why don't you want the protag to have sex with Nadia? Not trying to be critical, just curious.
Will curiosity kill the Kat?... Just kidding :)

Well, I just don't think it fits the personality I've molded for the character.

I mean, if I just wanted to watch porn I could go to any of the millions of sites on the internet, but in a game I'm looking for something else (a very popular discussion topic on the forum) and luckily this game provides me with an attractive story and enough freedom to choose the path I want the protagonist to follow.

The Stalker can be anything, from a lusty sadist to a heroic idealist, and let's just say that the choices I've made so far in the story lead me more in the latter direction. Having sexual relations with his niece is outside of the previously established moral principles, which takes me out of the story and creates disaffection towards the main character.

That's why I say that I don't mind waiting until the problem is resolved, in order to maintain the consistency shown so far.

I hope I have satisfied your curiosity.

Extremely off-topic, but while you can make a game which is worth playing with any kind of graphics (or even text-based only) and on any kind of engine, there is nothing wrong with stating what someone likes best.

In my opinion, Ren'py + Daz is still the golden standard for VN's. Other graphics and/or engine are negative points for me. Although within the Ren'py + Daz VN genre, there are also definite quality differences between devs, even from a purely technical standpoint.

Yeah, when I see Honey Select I wince. It takes a really good game for me to overcome my distaste for HS. Fortunately, there are actually a few that have managed to do that for me.

It's been a looooong time since I've even looked at anything other than Ren'Py, though.

Me too. I just find HS too cartoony/anime. I don't mind Eternium, it's an excellent adventure game.
Only non-Ren'Py games I've really liked are Man of the House and Mystwood Manor.

Doesn't Renpy have nothing to do with the renders ? I thought it was just an engine for the interface and stuff like that.
Maybe what you guys oppose to HS, is Daz (or maybe I don't know what I'm talking about, it's also possible).

Yes renpy is just the framework to make a VN, images are generated in another software (daz or hs). But you can use other frameworks than renpy, like unity or rpgm.

Hopefully this hasn't been asked 1 million times already:
Is this choice of any significant importance, or does it just change flavour text? The WT mod doesn't highlight the choice, so most likely this choice doesn't matter that much. Just wanted to confirm :)

Agreed. I support some 20+ devs on patreon and SS (and have supported some dozen others previously) and they’re all but one using that combination. HS or koikatsu don’t really do it for me unless it is so crazily kinky, wild and well written that I’ll be able to overlook its cartoony style.

If you are heroic idealist then the only women you should have sex with is your wife
