The journey has nearly come to its end. Not gonna lie, this was one of my first F95 games and remains one of my favorite fetishes (female protag corruption/cheating/blackmail). When it initially came out 4 years ago I waited on for the release of the next update with impatience, I even supported NickFifa for a short while. The female protagonist was the perfect mix of sexy and naive. Even now 4 years later her renders are still quite decent (some of the recent fanart I've seen do Elena justice)... but that's where the compliments for this game ends. Hope it's not gonna be taken personal but I've got to say my piece.
The updates were too few and far between and the amount of content within these updates was lackluster. I believe this is due to the game engine constrictions you had to deal with.
The storyline had a solid base but the execution and the jargon characters used really left to be desired. Consider using a writer to brush up the content, I'm sure you can find someone to help (like me!)
There were over 30 updates and Elena wore the same 2-3 clothing sets. Given she's the main protagonist you must keep her relevant. With the amlunt of times she got fucked, you'd think she'd own/be gifted a couple of lingerie sets.
Being on RPGM the game engine was a horrible chore to navigate through and is now completely outdated. Thankfully I've been playing the updates on the Renpy remake by
Phalzyr (thank you!). No more elevator boss for me!
The renders never really improved over the years and one of my biggest gripes though are the sheer fugliness of so many of the male characters and their facial expressions
. They ruined scenes! The lighting/render skills never improved, which I find weird given the duration of this project. I've seen from countless other Devs improve these skills and there should have been no reason not to improve your skills over these past few years. The level of quality remained consistent and purposely so. A mystery so to speak.
Not sure if there are plans for a new game, if there are, I strongly suggest transitioning to Renpy and to brush up on your render/lighting skills. There's a forum here with Devs who can provide insight (tips of the trade). Hope you built enough of a fan base to afford a solid rig to make better renders and despite everything I wrote, I'm sincerely interested to see what the next project would look like.
