It's nice to see Gumdrop is still making Dual Family, in some form at least.

i didnt really care about naming the characters part that much to be honest i skipped the whole text just to see the potential sex scenes which was disappointing imo i rather deal wtih a long text game from a game i dont really like other then a single character
The person I replied to couldn't even figure out how to start the VN. lol

But thanks, for your opinion? xD

I honestly can't believe this developer gets near 9k a month for doing almost nothing (7 months since last update or something like that). fair play to the dev tho it looks like some people are seriously mugs for giving money away.

I honestly was a fan of the game but it's a pity about the shit update release's

right end of rant :)
Doesn't make sense to me either especially with a dialogue to sex ratio like 10,000:1!

Let me save you all a download, it's a giant nothing-burger in terms of sex. It's like the erotic game equivalent of a bad art-house movie that's so far up it's own ass with Dutch angles and cringe-worthy dialogue that it forgets to make anything enjoyable for the audience. Worse than that, it's ended by a long drawn-out excuse for blowing deadlines and finishes with him admitting that he's blowing the January 25th deadline.

Cuz animations, guys! And music, too! Never mind that ICSTOR delivers like forty animations on a two-month update cycle, he needs like all of the time in the world for this. And monies, never forget the monies.

The models have been always been good with this IP, but I think what really holds the game back from being better than it currently is, is the fact that people don't crack a fucking smile and drone on and on about nothing in this. Not so much is in this mini bonus update, but it comes with the GumDropGames territory.

Like I really don't even wanna talk about the date delays and long time between updates, because that's always been like whatever, it's the easy joke with this Dev. But beyond how good I think the females look in this game, particularly the Mom, I cannot tell you what the developer is trying to tell with this story. Honestly. The writing has some evocative imagery, but almost little to no grounds to try and say "This is each person's motivations and feelings." Like I'm not trying to criticize the actual writing itself, but the direction of what is being written and presented to the audience. I can't tell what these characters want or what the dilemmas are. Honest criticism, but fuck me running, I'll keep downloading them off here.

Also, implement the damn "Skip unseen text" feature already. Hahaha As a writer of porn games myself, I give myself not one credit that anybody actually wants to read the entirety of my blabbering character dialogue, and you should be able to jump ahead.

while you are correct i tried to focus on discussing about game content reasons i dont want to be off topic
I mean, I'd love to discuss the game's content but there doesn't really seem to be any. Decisions don't seem to make much of a difference (granted, I only went through the son route twice and haven't tried all the choice combinations) and the dialogue just meanders about. Why the hell did this even need to exist?

Yea, shouldn't take 10 pages of metaphysical dribble to say, "Mom you're hot, let's fuck!";)

Well, I think he might just have invented a new genre—the excuse update. This is all this shitty, full of nothing but hollow dialogues and the usual dimly lighted images update is: a big, lame excuse.

Seriously, that final text is such rubbish that if I didn't know better, I would think this guy is just an insecure teenager having to cope with much more than he can handle. The best part is that... he is admitting that he is going to miss the incredibly lax deadline he gave himself! If we believe what he says, which is of course an act of faith at this point, he started to think that he might not be able to make it a month ago. And what does he do instead of working harder to get it done on time? He begins working on a Christmas update that takes away three weeks of the time he claims he needs so much. That's pure logic at work.

It's all so pathetic that, again, if anyone is still giving their money to this guy after this, they fucking deserve to be ripped off.

It's classic "Look at me, I'm really working hard! Don't get mad at me!" word vomit. I get it from my students all the goddamned time about why they need a deadline extension or why they bombed an exam. Like, if he spent the time it took to craft such an elaborate excuse instead working on his game then he wouldn't need the excuse in the first place.

Oh god... just got to the end... I'm cracking up here. Even the excuse/dev talk is written so "la-di-dah". Good grief... also, can a dev not somehow figure out how to pull a model's cock out without taking off their pants entirely for something like a blowjob? It's like when that idiot kid in elementary school would drop his pants all the way to his ankles at the urinal. Hahahah.

Animations look nice, but good lordie... what a shite show, mate.

Don't forget the inexplicable shaky cam, a proper animation isn't complete unless it looks like the cameraman is either drunk or trying to awkwardly jack himself off while filming at the same time.
