So I played for a few hours before going to bed yesterday and even though usually I'm not into being an extreme abuser I must admit I enjoyed this one way more than I expected. It certainly felt very different than anything I played before, with Jason being an intensely abusive lil asshole and then the hardcore aggression/rape scenes. Also the look of the characters, how the story develops and the dialog. Also I don't mind how Jason looks personally. In fact I think the look really fits his personality while not being a pain to look at (but then again some people are into the "ugly bastard" thing and it's fine). Imo he simply look average with an average lil bully haircut. But when he has the manbun he looked pretty hot and dope. I almost wanted him to keep his hair that way lmao. Anyways, I'll continue playing it for sure and will be until it's done.
--------------------------------------------------
Now, although I did enjoy it overall, there's some constructive criticism I had in mind:
- Not having any music or sound is a bit of a let down. Not a big deal at all though. But it can add some atmosphere and immersion if there's ambient sounds and etc.
-Adding a gallery that keeps track of the scenes we unlocked or missed would be immensely appreciated. It would really be of help to not waste time on a girl more than needed and of course also a very enjoyable thing to have access to hehe. Also knowing if anything was missed is really nice and it helps and motivate people to see all the scenes you put so much effort into.
- The actual dialog is pretty decent if you keep the themes, character and kind of game it is in mind. Although apart from the obvious English language errors here and there, I was kinda annoyed by the overuse of "uhhhhh" and similar stuff. It disrupted the reading a lot, broke the pace really often and didn't bring anything to the game or scenes in the end too. It could even feel like padding to some.
- Now the "animations" loops of the sex scenes are way too long. I think I saw someone telling you that and that you'd consider it. And I would heavily agree. It really broke the pacing of those scenes and felt more like a chore. And using skip sometimes would go too far and I'd have to go back and etc etc. Didn't feel great. Also, you seem to have mentioned adding frames to those loops and that would be indeed great. The more the better obviously. I saw that you answered that you wouldn't incorporate actual animation and that's ok. Of course the more fluid the better but I get that it's a lot of work so that is up to you to decide how much quality you want to inject in those.
- Then there is the look of the girls. There's two things that bother me. One more than the other. So I'll start with the one that bothers me less, which is the faces. They really look original and particular and I love that, so don't get me wrong. But often when you do expressions, even when they are saying really simple stuff that doesn't seem to have a tone, they go from looking really cute and particular to pretty ugly to even looking like goblins at times. Then again I have a feeling that is intentional and if so I could see what you're going for and I respect that! The only thing is that sometimes it's so intense that we can clearly see parts of their models faces breaking lol. And at some points it almost looks like crude Gmod videos I used to watch on Youtube back in 2008 hahaha.
- After that the second thing which bother me the most in the whole game is the boobs. And no, not because I think they are too big or don't have textures that I would like. Those are in fact totally fine, even though I'm not the biggest fan of mega tits lol, I can enjoy them and ironically enough my two favorite girls are the ones with the huge ones so far. But it's not because or their bongos and more because of their super cutiepie faces and their innocent looks and behaviors haha. I'll admit I love corrupting pure and innocent cuties~. Also your boobs textures, shapes, nipples are pretty nice! I was even reeeeeally pleasantly surprised with the look of the nipples of the teacher...uh...the younger one? McLain or something? I'm bad with names sorry haha!
But yeah, imo the real issue is when the girls with big boobs have clothes on. They look soooo broken the large majority of the time. The look and shape of them really don't make any sense most of the time. Sometimes they look crushed and/or flat and/or clearly broken with tons of vertexes spiking out everywhere, other times everything is clipping through each other like the clothes. But it's really just the high school girls with the big tits. The other girls so far everything looks great with or without clothes on from what I'm seeing so far. So yeah, if there was something to work on first, imo it would be this issue.
--------------------------------------------------
Now I have some questions/suggestions:
- I'll be honest your progression system with the girls confuse me a bit? Because if I was being "nice" to Roxy for example, then on the second class I would have the exact same dialogue with her, nothing changed. Then if I went the sexual aggression route she would flee and in the next class as soon as she sees me when I go up to her she flees again. But then I just continued with both her and Melonie to always try out the route where you force yourself onto them and that would pretty much bring progression each time. Except when I met Roxy in class, one time out of two she would flee. But I think I noticed a pattern? Basically when a girl (or maybe just Roxy? Haven't really explored the others yet) has just been sexually assaulted the next time she sees you in class she's going to automatically flee? And if so, does that mean I'm always better off choosing another girl instead to not waste a class event opportunity OR the girl fleeing is part of the progression so that the next event with her unlocks? It would be highly appreciated if you could clear up how your system works. Or a least a little bit please, because so far it's a bit confusing at times. Also, from what I can gather I have a feeling you can't see all the scenes in one playthrough right?
- Then I wondered if there was sex scenes with Cooper I could look forward to or that will be implemented in the future? Cuz when she ain't angry or annoyed she looks really fuckin cute and also the dynamic between her and Jason is interesting and it'd be fun to explore that.
- Again on the progression system with the girls. To see the next sex scene, is the only way to do that is to force yourself onto them? Now I know this game ain't about sweet words and cuddles, no worries lmao. But I wondered if I was missing out on a different way to get them to do stuff or let me do stuff? Like corrupt them by subduing and tempting them in various ways. Or being "nice" to them to gain their trust and then manipulate them and their self-esteem into doing things for example? Because so far it seems to me that the large majority of the time to escalate things, it's necessary to brute force your way to it. Do I have the right impression or?
- And lastly, since I liked this game and I learned that it was literally a sequel, I got curious about your first one. I definitely intend to play it even though the screenshots give me the impression you only have sex scenes with middle aged women (aunt/mother)? Or should I expect some fun with girls of the same age (or around/a bit older) in the first one too?
--------------------------------------------------
So yeah, that's it! I hope this will be of help and thank you very much in advance if you answer any of my questions. I wish you luck in all your endeavors!
