There are no repeatable scenes yet. That is something I do eventually plan on doing, but I'm not a huge fan of them. I prefer each scene to be their own thing. That being said, I do understand the importance of them in this medium, so eventually there will be some.
As a quick walkthrough, go to the bank, do the scene there, then go to sleep, then go to the bank again. After that, if you go to Cain, he should tell you where to find every girl.
one of the best games in that regard is "collage daze" yes there are repeatable scenes but they are by no means the important part of the game, i for one would prefer more story driven stuff over repeatable scenes but that's just me, imho.

College Daze is probably the golden standard, and how I want to do it.
yeah, if you take it as your standard you cant go wrong. Even if it has some fetishes I don't care for they are always easily avoidable.
Was a good opener, with a good story and a great cast… looking forward to seeing more! Should look at getting your game on gamcore, mopoga, lewdspot (to name a few) to get more players seeing it… or are you already on an online site?
Will you be doing videos/gifs for the actions, instead of pictures going forward?

Very good start. Like the layout, story idea and fun dialog. While not a "new" approach it somehow feels fresh, please keep it up. Those are the pros, now for a few cons or picky things.
Not sure if only knowing someone is in a locations after "marking" them is better than just showing when a location is occupied (especially your own home). The idea you will always know where they are merits some interest but at current level most of the time the characters are nowhere to be found. Also, it is no fun to know where someone is if you go there only to have no indication they are there (if no actions available at least show they are asleep, occupied or to busy to talk - ie something).
If you are going to allow changing name of more than the MC, suggest at least allow whole family or girlfriend also, just makes it a little more personal.
Agree "College Haze" (one of my favorites) is an excellent example, however I think "A Spell for All" is the best for play, replay, gameplay, etc to shoot for! IF these two games are the style you have in mind I have to say you are currently missing a major part - CHOICE. Right now it is more like a graphic novel, there is no real gameplay or choices. Nothing wrong with the novel approach but really cuts down any replay fun, depends on your goals.
Last point, while the model pics are very nice and fit the mood the video choices are very few, short and low res (so a mood breaker).
Hope most or ever all my cons are due early state of development. Will watch with interest for next update, thanks.

That makes sense, which is why I did put in a progression indicator in the models page. Making them move around and leaving it empty can be annoying, but if the player knows that they completed all of the scenes, it's easier to ignore.
That being said, it is a valid point. I might make a poll on the Discord later on, to see how people feel about it.
You can change every female characters name. If you go into the characters tab, each name will be in a text box.
I haven't played "A Spell for All", I'll have to check it out. That being said, I do plan on introducing some choices. I don't know for now how much each choice will affect everything, as this is my first project. It might be minor choices, or it may be multiple endings. It also doesn't help that I do have a lot of ideas, and plan on this being a longer writing project for me.
This one is something that, unfortunately, I don't plan on changing much. Each scene is going to receive a couple of pictures, and maybe a gif or two. But the primary focus will always be on the writing. I don't like having to find pictures and gifs to suit my purposes. General images of models is fine, so as to paint the picture in the minds of the reader, but they're just there to support the writing.
Thank you for your thoughts, I love reading them, and I love feedback! Hope you enjoy the next release, and the one after that!
I think its great that you want to focus more on the writing part than pretty pictures we can all google our self if we are so inclined. That probably only me but i came to smut from erotic stories rather than porn so i value a good story or description of the act far more than the visual aid, I'm still a man so the visual helps a lot if it fits not gonna lie about that, bit the writen part is far more exciting.That makes sense, which is why I did put in a progression indicator in the models page.

if you never played "a Spell 4 All" you really should do it, not just for research, but because its an awesome game.
and while AS4A is a great game it pretty much highlights the problems i have with repeatable scenes in Sandbox Games. Some few of them are fleshed out and really good but most of the time its just

Log in or register now.
no idea if you ever seen this skid but it explains pretty much how i feel over NPCs in Sandbox Games when you finally completed their path
You must be registered to see the links
in contrast if you narrate a story the character ends with the story so you have a definit ending point which is kinda missing with Sandbox and paths.

Yeah, that's my position. These games should rely on the story they're telling. The images are there as a support to help the reader visualize, but the bulk of the work should be done by the writing. If I could write and direct porn, I would do that. But writing is all I got, so I gotta use it.

I haven't posted anywhere else, I might in the future. As for online site, maybe once there's some more content. I don't want to post it elsewhere without more to do.
As for videos and gifs, I talked about it in the comments here, they're mostly there to support the writing. The pictures of models are there to help the player visualize the girl being written about, but the main focus will always be the writing. The most I see doing is a couple of gifs on top of the pictures, but that's about it.

And to think I usually don't give early versions of HTML games a single look.
Got me hooked and waiting for updates

So one of Cain's hints says "Don't ask me anything, RUN!" what does it mean?
it means the MC should stop gawking and run and you the player need to keep reading like in all events in the game before.

GOOD LUCK DEV
