100% (and I really mean 100%) agree: if the game is finished or almost finished - it is not a problem to go through the relationship building and etc, but if you don't know if the game will be finished (initial stages) - it is a bit hard to justify spending hours and hours (and then half a year later trying to remember what happened before)It's just what you call a slow burn. Unfortunately, in this industry, "slow" means "fucking slooooooooooooooooow! "
If the project was finished, it wouldn't matter, because after several hours of getting to know characters and forming relationships, the payoff would be deep and painful anal sex with the virginal school princess. Unfortunately we're in the development cycle, that "several hours" translates to literally several years!
A lot of devs get around this by putting in side girls that you can fuck consequence free, but we all know are just there for distraction.
But yeah, generating interest is the key requirement, and hopefully done without completely compromising the dev's initial intent.
And you are absolutely right about some 'side girls'. For me personally, it is very anoying that MC has to have sex with some 'aunt/grandma/below average girl' instead of the beatiful girls that are parading themselves half-naked in front of MC.
I never really liked this 'you can look, but cannot touch' thing.
