Well, it is not an API, so I don't really see how semantic versioning applies here. Poorly, is my guess. Semantic versioning could be used for software other than APIs but in game software terms, the standard *often* goes from alpha state, to beta, to release state. I'm not bitching, you choose how you want to call your versions, this is your software. But don't be surprised that many people expect a v1.0 to be a production-ready game, which is an equivalent to software in a release state in many people's eyes (aka software out of alpha/beta version).
Other than that, thanks for your game, I'll go play it and try to leave a review!
EDIT: (rephrasing)
Semantic versioning's primary purpose is managing dependencies. The API's we use are internal to our development team. And having a game where different choices leads down different branching paths and lead to different events, dependency control becomes a very high priority. Each new iteration of the game has dozens of dependencies, so it helps us keep our shit straight.
I don't mean to be a dick about it. It's just that every time we release a version, this conversation comes up. I guess in the end we should be grateful. If the only thing people are complaining about are the numbers at the end of the file name, then we must not be doing too bad. =)
Thanks for giving our game shot though, be sure to let us know what you think. Cheers!
This game has a good plot and enticing characters. Not enough smut for my tastes though. I'll check back after a few updates because I do like it.
Our story isn't about trying to sleep with all the girls in the game. The story is about the insanity that comes from sleeping with all the girls in the game. So we're just getting warmed up. Once we get through the preliminaries, we'll drive the smut density through the roof. You have my word.
You've got me wrong, i wasn't having a go at you but at the people who complain about it
. It s just a number it means nothing
Sorry if I sounded butt-hurt about it. I just don't think we've released a single version where this conversation didn't come up. So my new strategy has just been to offer rebuttals that are nothing but snark. No hard feelings! If you get a chance to play the game, let us know what you think. We do appreciate genuine critiques of the product.
Does red/blue answers have any impact other than text?
Does they add up and bang suddenly a choice isnt available anymore, or a certain outcome will be shown?
Plus, yeah Jane content.
They do add up and will change the flavor of the dialogue and the nature of each relationship, but there is no penalty for picking an answer. All of them lead to some form of sexual or romantic option. The choices are cumulative but you will always have two or more options in a menu. As we get further into the game I think it will become more noticeable how your choices have impacted the story.
But there are no bad choices or game over paths. We've detailed everything in the walkthrough on our Patreon. $5 gets you everything, or if you wait long enough I'm sure someone will leak it here eventually. But all of the mechanics are more thoroughly explained in that document.
-Played.
-Overall Rating 4.5oz cream pie out of 5oz
-Hardy well done to the developers!
-Excellent Writing. Really builds a strong story. It's meaty. Lots of legit choices makes it a real game not just a linear graphic novel with wasted one choice menu items that don't drive the game. Not clear yet where all these choices land us but hopefully they are remembered with ramifications later. No find the key on the table to unlock your wife's cabinet to go through her panty drawer or whatever which this writer is grateful for as I find those game tedious at times. Sex scenes give you some control through choice menu which adds another level of depth I wish more games would incorporate.
-Quality Renders throughout. Amanda and the Japanese coworker are personal favs. You do have a sex scene and additional nudity throughout so you can get the lotion ready from the start (beware though it takes awhile to get there). It teases a nice build up but also delivers some kicks. No animations which would have capped off an amazing visual game experience but the dev provides a fade work around for several situations that works for now. You might not let loose the juice from it but you should get hard. The game also does a good job of providing variety with each girl in personality and physical attributes including tit size and the dev is to be commended for again providing so much depth to the game. Cassie's, Jane and Amanda's hair choices are interesting and maybe a bit distracting. Hopefully future developments will allow the girls to perhaps change their hair but that is a personal quibble on my part.
-Only real con to the game is of course the prohibition on incest which can't be helped. Here you have a daughter Cassie who must be refereed to as the neighbors daughter who lives with you, which is understandable given the current ridiculous environment against consensual 18 year old 3D rendered incest (wtf). But the other hitch is that the writing at times confuses you into thinking oh she is my daughter wink wink and then oh no she isn't my daughter she really is my neighbors daughter...meh. This pops the incest fantasy work around you build in your head and becomes a bit distracting.
Great job overall!
Just want to thank you for the stellar review. If you haven't already, please paste it in the review section. This way it doesn't get lost amid the ever growing page count on the forum.
We are working on adding full blown animations. We just ran out of time with this last distribution. But those will be coming very soon. Thanks again for giving it a try and double thanks for all the feedback. Much appreciated.
Last year, I made a note to come back when there was more content.
...only to find that there is still no content.
Instead of continuing the version count, putting [remake] instead may stifle the outrage a little bit.
All I can say is that it's been a roller coaster of a year. Several challenges and an ongoing desire to do better. Hopefully, if you're willing to stop by again in the future, we'll have more to reward your patience with. Cheers mate.
I honestly thought this would be longer than it was idk why. lol
Time, time, time. If only we had more time. We'd like to get someone on this full time but we'd need to get our patron count up to like 600 before that is even viable.
Wait a minute : are the Images in the Overview are really in the latest update v1.0.1 ?
Or it was in the old versions ? Or maybe you have to mix your choices between ( Blue and Red )?
No the preview is from the previous version of the game. I'm thinking I need to petition to get access to the OP just so I can keep the change logs, sample images and information 100% up to date.
