So dev, I will try my best to pinpoint some of the criticism I came up with after playing your game :
The renders ;which are the first thing we notice when playing, are not top notch. The MC ,his crazy bud and Ted look good (even great) I can't say the same for the rest of the characters, it feels somewhat grainy and lacks polish.
The story so far, as I've read the story is basically the first episode of a Serie you mentioned in the settings, which makes your game no longer an original creation I haven't seen the Serie so I can't say much about it, but for a first release it would have been better to turn your own ideas into scenes of your episode.
I couldn't attach to any of the characters, they are extremely unbelievable and odd,
All these situations make it hard to feel the slightest feeling towards any of these persons, the only one would be the blonde by the end of the update, but it was cut very short.
The interface: I loved the way you have set the scoreboard to go around the menu, very creative and fitting of the theme. But in game it did irk me to not be able to rollback after a choice, it should be possible as it is in nearly all renp'ys, the phone was a strong positive, but one could wonder how MC knew which characteristics do the student like in a man, since the contact with them was very limited.
The mini games were fun, the basketball one in hard difficulty was tedious/impossible to do without rollback (its been way too long I haven't played Counter Strike.
The sounds were definitely spot on, I usually remove sounds when playing but you did a great job in having a tonality for nearly each situation.
I also noticed some Sandbox elements, which I'm really not a fan of, didn't exactly understand the utility of the free roam, as the actions could have very well been narrated, for example going to the bathroom you could have said well after training I will hit the shower and then the scene where the purple haired girl fingers herself plays, simple as that.
For the future releases, I am hoping that you don't take the criticism you can read on this forum too personal and harshly neither the stars attributed so far to your game, the best would be for me to get to know the LI (the girls that don't care whether you play or not basketball) and have some H scenes, concerning the basketball team it would be wise to put an end to the hazing and the carnet stuff, it doesn't make sense, people can easily walk out of it during their first week at Uni, no need to drag it longer that necessary.
Let us know the girls, we spent too much time with the team and the crazy room mate, that the '' gay'' tag wouldn't be far fetched, for a first episode it doesn't lack in general substance, but it lacks substance where required. Try to reduce the game size, many completed games are smaller in size than your first episode.
And last what might catch the interest of the players between some romance in addition to lewd moments and a game of basketball, is definitely not the latter. I say that as a basketball fan, try to invest your time and efforts where the players will notice it most. The menu looks great but if the game doesn't have anything to show, what is it then for.
Thanks again Effx for presenting your game, there are a certainly lot of areas of improvement, but you have the basis for your game, now its up to you to tell YOUR story to which the player relates to !
