Wow, great start, I loved it, "Simply Lovely"
The only thing I feel you could do better is to end the scenes, they end too abruptly in my opinion
I hope you keep it up and improve with each update.

Wow!!
Not a great fan of racing, but history and characters are so interesting.

Great job, sir :D

Only thing that worries me a little is, given episode 1 was huge, if next ones are going to be about same size, that'll mean many months between updates. Not a great thing for a new AVN, imho...

Well to be honest I was worried this first release was going to be too small…
I don’t know what’s better, smaller updates that could cause players to skip it so they can play it when a bigger chunk is ready or bigger updates that take a bit longer to be ready. It’s a tricky line to walk. I’ll probably just keep working on it and when I see a gap in the story that makes sense to break I’ll release a new version.

I love updates where you have a choice. Where you don´t have to go on an prefabricated path.
Where you can choose between different Conversations with your LI and they all have a meaning or a impact for the Story.
You can test a update pretty good when you just hit the TAB Button and count the options you can choose and the time it takes to reach the ending of this update.
And if you also have different options and ways to progress it becomes more meaningful and interesting.
In this part you can also add minigame or lewd(sex) scenes with camera options or usable actions.
For me it all comes down how much impact i have as a player in a game and how much i can take action.
Of course not for everything but for choices that matters. Like training, in a pub or in an interview.
When the MC gives an interview and can influence the public opinion, his stats or can interact with the audience to get better sponsors and more LI and one nighters.

If you decide for smaller updates, just don't make them too small, please. I've seen games where they did updates with only 15 minutes of content, after 3 or 4 months of development.
Thanks for a great game so far!

I love this, great first release, not too overwhelming, not overly shallow, also it's great you didn't put any forced sex scene that's feels unnatural to the story. Keep up the good work, and I look forward to the next release.

Ooh, I hope you include some English translations for the Portuguese part in the future.

Thanks! The reason I didn't put is that I don’t have the technical savviness yet to put it in a non-intrusive way. Id like to put it in a way that superimposes the text, but without making it too cluttered. It’s on the pipeline.

Hey man, great introduction.:love:
I downloaded again Motorsport Manager because i was too obsessed with it.
Your racing cutscene are awesome, at the beginning I wondered if you took them from real footage.

Quick suggestions:
- Till they arrive in Germany I thought that Emma and Max were together.
- If Lucca Ricci is Italian than a real Italian name is "Luca", Lucca is a city.
- When Grace is performing her song there are red men in the background, you can add crowd background without stressing too much your GPU.
- It's better if you find a default surname for MC because reading MC on the leaderboard breaks the immersion (on the equipment as well).

What will Evangeline's haircut be? The one seen in the game or the one in the banner?

Good luck(y):love:

It's a bit on purpose. There's nuances on the dialogue and the scenes that make it clear it's not, but over the time it will be clearer.

- If Lucca Ricci is Italian than a real Italian name is "Luca", Lucca is a city.
He's not Italian per se, but of Italian descent. I have a friend called Lucca, I'll think about changing it. Thank you.

- When Grace is performing her song there are red men in the background, you can add crowd background without stressing too much your GPU.
Those are growing pains to be honest. That scene was just a nightmare to render. And I had not grasped the concept of instances yet, And I didn't want to use billboards. So yeah... Future crowds will look better (hopefuly)!

- It's better if you find a default surname for MC because reading MC on the leaderboard breaks the immersion (on the equipment as well).
Really? I always disliked getting thrown an arbitrary surname for MC, maybe that's just me then. Could be "You" on the board?

What will Evangeline's haircut be? The one seen in the game or the one in the banner?
The short cut is the final one (at least for the foreseeable future). That's because that buzzcut one is A NIGHTMARE as well, but some time has to pass for it to be implemented. For *lore* reasons.

Edit: Forgot to add.
The reason why I picked this "theme" for the VN is probably F1 Manager. It was shit and VERY breakable but god damn did it scratch an itch in me.

You are definitely not alone in that. Though that guy does have a point with the scoreboard looking a little awkward with MC on it.

But who is you?

Seeing "MC" on the board was a little weird, but I think I can live with it if it stays. I am normally one to ask for full customization of a name, but in the case of something like this, it might be better to assign a surname if we are going to be seeing a name on the ranking boards a lot. Might be something to run a poll on.

In WVM the MC is by Default called Ethan Moncree. On his Jersej you can see his name Moncree. And when you change that Name it´s still Moncree on the Jersej so it´s the same with the Name MC.
I would prefer a fixed Nickname on the scoreboard and the Suit. So you can keep your own Name but have a fixed Nickname for the record.
Some famous Nicknames where you can choose from would be nice. Something like Mad Max (Max Verstappen), Mr. Monaco (Graham Hill) or Iceman (Kimmi Raikkonen)
