I absolutely remembered those reviews and conversations and took them to heart. When I get feedback on the game, good and bad, I do study it and consider the strengths and weaknesses in the analysis. I have always found writing sex scenes difficult. It's such a nebulous area when it comes to what makes for a good or bad scene.I'm not sure if you remember, but I posted a review mentioning that the sex scenes were a bit underwhelming way back then. The very early scenes with just animation was pretty bad and everyone could agree I think. But I felt even the first examples of the new system were a bit underwhelming. My reasoning was that there was not enough kinky dialogue and the scene were pretty much over before you can really build up to a release. We had some discussions back then on how to improve it and others chimed in, many disagreeing with my position that lengthy and kinky dialogues are the magic sauce. I can understand that view more and more. My preferences are heavily influenced by japanese style scenes that use obscenely long dialogues (mainly degradation of the females lol).
Those conversations helped me get a feel overall for what players wanted to see and experience and helped steer a bit in the creative process as I worked out different things. I tried to strike the right balance of dialogue. I didn't want there to be a lot (Cause coming up with original dirty talk gets difficult real quick). But what was there I wanted to time it so that it had some impact in the scene. I wanted it to make sense, what was said and when.
I also wanted different dialogue and internal monologues depending on which path your on, blue or red and I think that came through pretty good as well.
Thanks! I'm feeling that way as well. As I go into these streams and start doing the art, I feel like I know where I'm finally going. This chapter was a good chance for me to get my hands on this entire project and really put my stamp on it and make it mine.You really found your style I think. First, the extended scene (barrage of all the scenes in sequence taken together) is lengthy enough to get the job done. Second, there are many different positions and angles to keep things interesting. Third, the descriptive text is very erotic! Fourth, the spoken dialogues, while rare, are placed at decent intervals to satisfy the relevant kinks (of course I made her call me daddy heheh...).
Ok, I just wanted to say the update was fire. Good job!
As much as I appreciate the work and effort from the old team, going forward, this is my game.
