I know and it works here too. But I wish the dev wouldn't block it in the first place.
There's a game (I don't remember the name) where if you enable rollback, a huge text shows up right in the middle of the screen saying that if you don't disable it, it might lead to errors. Maybe that's the reason behind the blocking. I still find it annoying when someone disables skip or rollback in a game. The ability to go back and change a bad decision without having to save and load the game every 30 seconds is one of the reasons I like renpy.

Although it seems quite trope-ish (is that a word?) with the landlady and two roommates, I can't really help myself.
Downloading anyway... ;)

Edit: some thoughts:
- Rollback is disabled, had to use UnRen
- Mom says "he has to share a room with a girl he never met before" but that's either inconsistent with the earlier scene or not properly explained

Renders are really good looking though!
Tropes aren't bad, everything is tropes. The word you want is cliché. I agree with what you mean though, can't help myself, downloading anyway.

Indeed. Also I just sometimes click before I have read a line completely. Then I just roll back and read it again.

The Pros :

The writing is pretty good, no Engrish is a nice plus, and the MC saying he isn't retarded in the first few lines made me chuckle a bit, and the story might be interesting despite potentially being a bit cliched (hard not to be though, there are only so many ways to tell the "I'm going to bang my not-family!" story).

The models, Ellie in particular (dat ass), look pretty good.

The secrets aren't a bad idea, I mean, it's been done, but not so frequently as to not make it a nice little addition.



*tough love mode activated*

The Cons :

Dude, you need to upgrade the potato you're using to render this shit on. I know that's REALLY easy to say, and expensive, especially when you're starting out, but the grainy renders are really going to hurt you. It wouldn't have been an issue like 4 years ago, but today you're going to get outclassed and ignored because of this.

Fairly solid UI, but it's cluttered as hell at the bottom of the screen, I suggest trying to streamline it a bit somehow.

Related to the UI thing - you may want to eventually add an "overhead map" type interface with little character icons showing who's hanging out where if you're going to go full-sandbox (something like Water World's travel interface).

"Peeking" advances time by an entire time unit, which is pretty dumb. There's no reason to go from noon to evening because you were peeking on your "not-sister". A better idea would be the standard "I've already done that" without advancing time.

Speaking of advancing time, you'll want to add a simple way of moving time forwards aside from "resting" which requires a trip back to the bedroom - doing it that way is a pain in the ass - the standard "skip time" button option is what I'd suggest adding to an improved non-cluttered / obtrusive UI.

Bugs / Issues :

The Secret in the pool area has a bugged / weird character thing instead of the usual "secret found" notification in the top left corner of the screen (hardly a big deal but figured I'd mention it).

Anyway, that's it. The game has promise in my opinion (which is probably worth about a buck twenty-five in monopoly money), so I'll wish you luck. I'd also suggest you contact a mod for a "Game Developer" tag for your account.

YET Another INCEST game started while 95% others are ABANDONED and never finished !!
Pity.
How many months, weeks...updates we will give to this 1 ??
I dunno, 2, 3 ...
And other than general bitching and complaining about what OTHER dev's have done, whats your feedback on this specific game?

If you don't like the genre, with the categories CLEARLY posted, then just STF out of the thread, eh?

Hi all, first I'd like to thank you for trying the game and for giving feedback! I like the good and the bad, it's only gonna help me get better.

Since it's too late to reply individually, let me address some things in general:

1. I am not trying to make anything different or out of the box with Falling Together (yet). The game is living-together incest drama, and I know it's not original. I want to cast a wide net and try to do this concept well.

2. My renders need some more time in the oven. I get this, they're not up to par with good games. I have to find the right balance between releasing content quickly and making non-grainy renders.

3. This is my first time making a game. I'm still learning. This isn't an excuse. Keep telling me when my shit needs fixin' cause I might not see it.

Heres things that will be in the next update:
  • Rollback
  • Compression
  • Time advance button
  • Scene recollection
  • More secrets
  • More renders
  • More story
Ask me stuff or tell me your thoughts, I'll be here (y)

Thank you for your detailed post, it means a lot to me. Dialogue is noted. About the foot thing, the goal is to have the girls do all of what I consider a few "main" fetishes, ass, mouth, tits, and feet. I'm definitely not trying to pigeonhole the girls into certain fetishes, I'll make this clearer in updates. Weird side note, I never understood foot fetish before I started messing around and rendering them, and now I don't hate them.

For the pool secret, perhaps this isn't a bug?

I don't know why porn game developer cannot unite in some kind of studios like other game developers, and not all alone release the same game after game, which are then developed in snail pace. There is not much good games, because very few are good in writing and graphics and game design at the same time. But everybody wants to make alot of money fast, or they will abandon game.

Bravo 4 da comment.
U know why...??
Coz world is filled with EGO MANIACS !!
U know the story about little boy who think that he can be best in basketball AND in football, usually end without anything.
No human on this fukin planet can do every job well.

Those who are xperts for writing and imaginations usually knows shit bout 3D modeling or graphic design.
And vice-versa.

Instead to join forces, we now have 95% of abandoned games and even if some new honest developer need costumers they losing it due to lies and never finished projects from the past or updates that took half years for 1 fukin release.
