VN - Ren'Py - Devotionstreet 259 [v0.14] [mars_dog_invasion]

The game hooked me. The graphics are really good. The story itself could certainly be refined a bit more. The story is short and straightforward, quickly getting to the interesting point but the immersion would certainly be better with more text. . A few choices would have been nice as well. It will certainly be interesting to see how the new versions turn out.

It's not even the AI art the troubles, the completely unrealistic conversations and speed of progression are. Flush out a few more images to keep the conversations a bit more interesting on reactions, but also fix the "I live in my mother's basement and this is how I think I would get my first roommate" text. If rules are not included in a contract, they can't be enforced by eviction...and no sane woman would start agreeing to these rules before moving in.

Good AI but super short story. Personally, I'd rework it with a slower build up. If the dev learns AI animation this could be a really good foundation. The model is super cute and she could be the star of a longer VN if the dev chooses to go that route. Solid start, but really just a demo at this point.

Version 0.12 Update
===============
Dialog and narration remain strong. Dev is building the characters and interactions well, and he clearly understands both the essence and subtleties of a structured D/s relationship. AI is top rate, but the Dev may want to consider new locations, poses, and positions in his next release. Generating superb images that fit the story line is definitely the main challenge with AI, but this Dev is off to a great start. As I mentioned in my original post, animation will be needed at some point to achieve S-tier status.

Version 0.14 Update
===============
New art style. Sorry, but you lost me. Much of the original appeal was the tasteful use of quality AI images. I'm out. Downgraded to 2-star.
