I posted a review, but I kind of want to ask the players here what they think about the scenes in this game. Since fluid and high quality animations doesn't seem possible with the dev's tools, wouldn't the scenes improve by just dropping the animations and using a lot of still images along with extensive dialogue during scenes? Writing good dialogue during sex is also kind of hard, but the dev showed that he can produce some pretty erotic dialogue in some scenes involving Mary and sis.
For me, I didn't watch any animation fully. Its slow as fuck and choppy. So most of the scenes with no dialogue and one long animation were kind of horrible. I would wait like 3 seconds for it to even start. Watch like 5 seconds of choppy movement and click. That skips like 2-3 positions if there were no dialogue breaks.
It can't be just me that thinks 3D models going through a loop is just not enough right? It doesn't matter if its Dr. PinkCake, Philly or ICSTOR. Its all about the mental stimulation in games. You can have unrealistically long dialogue and outlandish statements that would be super awkward in a real porn/real life, but really hot in games/comics. Wish more devs would take advantage of this instead of trying to let their animations carry the scenes.
I liked your review. Every word and letter. But let me explain.
It's a sin to compare any kind of porn video with VN, adult game or whatever. Any porn videos you can choose theme, type and etc... And about that I can tell you that I always avoid videos with actors who moan more than women or who are famous (cameras always focus on him sometimes). I'm not there to watch him, fap to him or even listen to him. I'm there for her and everything that she can "cause" on me. Men moaning, saying things, appearing... Blue balls. So when I started the dirty talk was there. If you see the intro, you'll know what I'm talking about. I got a lot of criticism about the game being impossible to play and fap at the same time, or that the conversations disrupted the scenes. I decided to change. I was desperate to please everyone because I always knew how much SIMS 4 could be a problem. No wonder that after 1 year, there are still lazy talking about it as if no one knew.
I'm not going to be a victim here, but let's say the costs I have don't allow me to buy my own computer to render with DAZ. It's the same shit, only it's realistic (DAZ, sometimes). Present me a dev who really made his models, he'll be my hero and have my endless respect. Get some pirate assets here and there (say to patrons that you're """"""Buying"""""" and you'll have a game and fuck the plot. Difference is in visual reality (not history), a 3d daz game even if you saw that model in 10 20 30 games, doens't matter. Put a 18year kid with a 20cm dick trying to fuck everybody with lines like "I'm sorry, but you're hot." woman: "Owwwwwn, reaally? I don't know. I'm old." "No. take off your clothes and a younger dude with a fucking massive cock will fuck you" woman "Oh my god! it's the best day of my life!!!!!!" Anyone with a good computer can do this, but a good story, it takes a good mind, time, experience or you will do the same as they once did. As incredible as that sounds to be the success plan (got it), it was never mine. As long as you create a scene on DAZ and go out to do what you want (the pc is there rendering, you can sleep, fuck, eat...) Writing a really good scene can take a lot longer than that. I'm saying good, not something to just put there.
So I thought... I will do something that the player can watch without using their hands. When a sex scene begins, you don't have to do anything but watch it all happen automatically. If you click it will jump. Simple. Don't like, click. Like, watch. Dirty talk... I left it to the player's freedom of imagination to avoid criticism (I changed my mind, by the way). I hate games that the narrator or hero keeps telling me what I'm seeing. "She is sucking me." "her mouth is hot." "she's turning her tongue on my cock." That's why I always (sometimes) just put other characters to say something. You interact with her mentally. I want to put you in the skin of the MC, what you think is what he is thinking, BUT, as I said, I changed this due to a lot of criticism. As a player I want to imagine myself at the scene and hear what SHE has to say in a sex scene, not what the dev has to say to you know... just say "I turn her around", alright, I saw this, thanks but, I'm not blind, you know? BUT, I changed that through criticism, I need to repeat it and I have my reaons. Anyway, I understand everything what you said and agree in part, but I wanted to share my vision, yo know? Just to you understand my side. Isn't easy be a developer. A lot quit when didn't reach his goals, I'm still here, because I'm not here to make money or be a scammer... I like this shit and I'm tired of a lot of things that I'll not quote but a lot of players with 30 years+ and/or don't have problems with his 18 years, have... The same boring shit. Anyway... I started this project to show my writer skills and try to catch someone not so skilled but with good renders to work together. I thought I had failed, but I think soon I will surprise everyone.
Anyway. Thank you very much, I loved your review and your worry about thing in a adult game. Really. it's honest.
