So simple stuff if anything, more like quick bit if anything, but Dungeon Days will largely if not entirely be a kinetic novel.
It was a good ride, but I guess this is where I get off. Genuinely no shade, I loved how much I played, but kinetic novels have never been enjoyable to me. Thanks for the transparency LordHybrid, I would have hated to follow this for long enough that I grew resentful when I realized it was a kinetic novel.

I wish you good fortune in this endeavor.

I'm not trying to call you out but you're saying you've never enjoyed kinetic novels despite "loving" however much you just played of this one. I just don't get it I guess? I'm guessing maybe because it starts to become stale for you with no real player choice? Like what makes you suddenly stop enjoying a game you're loving by realizing it's kinetic.

It boils down to how bored I get with a lack of agency, I enjoy playing games because I like seeing cause and effect from my own choices; be it in the storyline or simply how my build function in a RPG. Rarely, if not at all, has a kinetic novel given me that. Unless a kinetic novel matches my fetishes to a T, I usually just pass it, no reason to disrespect the work by forcing myself to read it.

I also don't just suddenly stop enjoying a game because it's kinetic, rather the enjoyment starts decreasing and I'm really prone to the sunk-cost fallacy, and I start trying to convince myself that I love it rather than just dropping it. It's a pretty rough cycle for me so I try to reasonably avoid it.

still VERY early in my plkaythrough but I gotta say...unique idea, and well written.

Text reads "This is the place" right after say8ing their mission-cation is about to start. Tried ot save, the Options screen comces up, click a save boix and you get this error. I tried on screens before it and same same. Cant save, as the SAVE and Q SAVE buttons also return exception errors.:

Code:
I'm sorry, but an uncaught exception occurred.

I get where you're coming from then. Might have come across a little aggressive (apologies lol) but I was curious. As much as I like seeing choices be meaningful I think I've just grown used to most AVNs not having many options beyond "get point with this girl or don't" type of shit. Great when a game goes beyond that, but I've come to not expect it going in. Thankfully I like many things so good kinetic novels (like this) still can do it for me.

Also thank you!! Always nice to hear that people like the things I write!

That last scene was genuinely very exciting. And yeah, that cliffhanger...
BTW Koko's animations were very aliased. Any chance that could get looked at?
Sure, we'll take a look at it! :V

Well dang. Sorry that I couldn't grip you enough. Maybe one day, when it's all over, you might enjoy it as a whole piece instead! Might work out for the better lol :V

Hmmm... So did you give permissions for Dungeon Days? According to some cursory investigation, sounds like that's the possible issue.

I dont recall the game asking for any permissions. Or are you referring to my AV? Because I havent had to give any games permission to save in the past.

Now it is saving. *shrug*

Dear dev, you need to change that awful awful AWFUL textbox ASAP... that shit covers half the screen for no good reason (specially since most lines are literally just one line)... just go with a smaller one more to the bottom, or better yet, use an outline on a regular easy to read font or something like that...

I mean, the UI in general could use some work, but yeah, it's kinda annoying playing an AVN when I can't see shit.

Are the scenes actually animated? The first one with the lioness kinda set a mood and I am curious about the rest, are they all like that with the frame by frame?

So. I rarely comment, just lurk and facepalm, generally.

That being said...
Love the story, and the "Don't tell, show" exposition. All of the girls (especially Pah) are quite sexy and believable in personality and motivation.
As far as art/3d render source, I am fine with it. I enjoy the Borderlands franchise, so "cartoony" does not bother me.
"De gustibus non disputandum est".

Looking forward to more, thank you.
