And what a post haha.

Thanks for that, some of those things are already on the way, or in some cases, are referencing temporary things that will get fixed in time. But I'll respond to a few of the items which stand out:

Top section:
3. Spending time with lucy does more than increase stats. It effects her fracture and mood.
5. Good idea!

2nd Section:
1. More scenes coming.
2.Can do.
3.On it's way.
4.Art isn't finished yet, expect more revisions over time.

3rd Section:
1. Any magic cast by lucy increases her fracturing.
2. Dodge balance is WIP. it's quite powerful now, but I'm not done with enemy types / status effects.

4th Section:
Regarding seasons, I have very specific plans for how these work. Each season will have very different gameplay. Your suggestions are good ones though! But the seasons will have more than weather changes.

Everything else:
Some of that already planned, and thanks for the suggestions on the rest. I really appreciate you taking the time to write that all out!

My opinion (section 1 of part 3) is that in the game you have 3 types of defenses: default blocking, against magic attack and against 'fracturing attack'. If the skill 'Mana Dart' is a fracturing attack then it is quite weak compared to the other two(since the skill is described as magic attack that's why i ask this).

Overall in terms of combat, MC is 'doing everything, no support needed' and Lucy and Scout have little chance to fighting .

oh I also would like pubic hair, that's a good suggestion

I see the confusion. There are no attacks that cause fracturing as a damage type in the game yet. There will be later on. Her mana dart is a very simple magic attack meant to offer support in >early< fights.

Lucy is going to get access to her bigger spells later on.

This is going to sound silly, but the early builds of the game included a chromatic aberration effect - I wanted to give the impression that color was kinda still clinging to the world but only just barely. The player response to the effect was overwhelmingly negative, and in one case, a player reported it actually caused them pain because of an eye condition! obviously it had to go. I bring this up, because when i added some simple scratchy lines for things like pubic hair or other small details, it looked absolutely horrible with the chromatic abb. effect.

I simply haven't gone back and done another pass on the art yet, but almost all of the sex scenes are still waiting for polish in one way or another. All I can say is be patient, I will be improving these things all the way up to release.

When I looked at the game's introduction images on the first page, my eyes were really tired because of the chromatic aberration effect. But when I got into the game, that feeling was gone.
