i don´t think the game needs voice acting or better graphics it just needs more written content/random events and hopefully a fully fleshed out dom partner, meaning you can decide the stuff you do at daytime but at nighttime you can´t say honey today i want you to wear this or that.
So i hope the wardrobe will become something the wife chooses from and does not "obey" your equip wishes all the time. Furthermore if you have money and different haircolors unlocked she could decide to spend some of your money to dye it sometimes and drain your wallet a bit so the whole i´m planning everything here in that household but we act like she is dom is a bit reduced ;-)
I know it´s easy to say but harder to code.
But great game already for an early alpha and i am sure it will become a gem of you don´t wait weeks or months with updates. Right now many others like me surely have it on their watchlist and are also potential patrons when noticing it´s in active development and not some thing they pledge for and in a year or so we get two scenes a la PE.
You... You don't want improved graphics? Well, I guess there will be no Emily for you then! Too bad...
Anyway, your points are a bit complex to answer, for various reasons, but I like to be transparent and I don't want to avoid answering just because it would be convenient.
Let's go point by point:
Voice acting and better graphics are not required
Strongly disagree. Not as a player, but as a long time developer with player data, I can say that the game definitly requires voice acting and better graphics to reach the greatest number of FLR players.
More written content/random events instead
I think the order in the ending screen of the alpha was wrong and implied that the better graphics would come before the content.
It's not true, it's a parallel development, with 20% on continuous improvement and 80% on content creation.
The wife should dress herself
I agree, but only to some extent.
I can't remove all player autonomy, the less autonomy the player has, the less of a game it is.
I'm still trying to figure out what to add in the game so the player can still make interesting choices and have impactful interactions with the game.
At the moment, because the game is FLR, I don't leave too much autonomy on the lewd part. As a consequence, if I remove the clothing as well, the game becomes an interactive movie, and that will be terribly bad for a lot of player (maybe not you specifically, but for others, hell yes).
The only possible outcome is that I figure out an interesting additional mechanic that provides skill mastery and autonomy, without breaking the story pacing. But yeah, the game is very young at the moment, so I'll eventually figure it out, there is time.
She should drain your wallet a bit
Without a doubt!
If you don't wait weeks or months with updates
That's not an issue, though the ones supporting me on Patreon voted for a longer time delay between updates. Patreon release is every month. For F95, I'll release delayed builds for free, the next one will be in April.
Each version should add at least the same amount of content as the Alpha version.
Thanks for you feedback
kaneeden, I hope to hear from you soon!
