nobody can say it's not good
Art is subjective, people can say what they like.

Also, as others - and you, yourself - mentioned, the quality of the images is objectively poor.

If you knew the patreon tiers weren't ready, that the images weren't great, and the whole concept of the project may or may not even be delivered, you should've known you were going to receive criticism and either waited to release it further in development, or just be a bit more honest.

The polls are a nice trick to give the players an interactive involvement where actually there's none.
Trying to "trick" players isn't great, opening a patreon without offering or promising anything isn't great, and not being able to accept that your game isn't yet good is not a great sign for the future.

Wish you luck, hopefully you'll listen to the people here because this is your target audience.

Hello, thanks for the replies.
So as for the grainy Images WE KNOW WE KNOW WE KNOW.
We've taken all the measures to keep doing the game with computers which are barely rendering!
(textures optimization, hd ready resolution, quality filter off, average 1000 samples in rendering)
all big compromises which we'll be happy to not undergo once we see the game receive some interest and people pledge and we could start thinking about putting our money into real workstations .

A grainy image is more important then photography composition? a bit of authorial directing into a vast magma of porn games that have only huge tits and standard storytelling ? The big brother concept has already being used the way we do? SHOW ME WHERE!

As for the choices again, this was much of a trial on so many levels that implementing choices in game would have add an absurd quantity of work which wasn't making sense at such an early stage.
The polls are a nice trick to give the players an interactive involvement where actually there's none.
We have no idea when polls will be on and for what kind of TIERS yet. But I'm sure we'll be able to make the best out of polls and not the other way around ;)

Patreon and Game were finished just yesterday!!!!!

We have a say:
They might say they don't like it, but nobody can say it's not good, cause we know what it has been made of.
In this case: heart and sweat and blood from ITALY!!!!!!

Buona giornata ragazzi :)

PS
WE miss The Humbing Experience very much.

Glad to see italian guys do this
Buona Fortuna

We could afford just one main set and we went for the house..

well.. at least your honest in some points. soo, here my lil' opinion about your post because.. lol.. i think its needed.

- you computer can barely render... still you up to 1000 samples o_O dahell ??
for your help.. grain can be almost deleted completly simply by doing render in higher resolution and then reduce resolution (exempl , render in 4K and reduce to 2K will significantly reduce grains)

" which we'll be happy to not undergo once we see the game receive some interest and people pledge and we could start thinking about putting our money into real workstations ."

eeeeh... nope... that's not how to do it sir XD. upgrading the computer should be the number 1 priority. the better the computer, the better render, the faster delivery, thats' the number one priority for peoples. you should "start thinking" about this at the moment you decide tostart the game. overwise, what are you waiting for ? to get thousand $$ per month ? you not gonna do that in a week you know.. take lots of time for peoples to enjoy something and maybe (i say ... maybe).... considering pledging for it.

- " I wanna fap good!"
that's your opinion :D. some peopels would prefer something else than fap, considering that you can simply go in a porn website to do it. a good fap is not enougth.

- you consider the poll as a trick in exchange of the lack of choices in the game ? its... not too bad... but seriously.. not everybody have the same taste. it would be way better to implement chocies in the game instead of giving a few peoples a chance to enjoy the game they like. But like you say... its way more work to do. but if you use blood,sweat and heart on it, that shouldnt be a problem .

- "They might say they don't like it, but nobody can say it's not good"
LMAO.. that sentence alone could go very fast into a troll thread.
it's not good... its shit... its terrible... worse shit ever... peoples can say whatever they want. and if they say it's bad, then that mean its bad. that doesnt mean this person doesnt like it. that mean your game can be better, and that's always good to know, because you know you can do better .
you can be dev of the game.. but never.... oooooh never... consider your game as perfection or great. always consider your game as shit and bad. that's how i work myself, and it give me motivation to always try to do better :)
if you not accept peoples critics on your game... then wow, you are definitly not at the good place here. You can't please everybody.

cheers from the country that take all the imigrates for you ! XD

Theres too much wrong to properly talk about it.
Its a case of "the author should learn English, storytelling, image creation, POV usage, etc. and play a bunch of porn games to figure out what works before making a game"

Tyrano is an easy engine to start in but it gets seriously bogged down the larger a game gets. You might find it starts to become a bit of a headache.

That purple pointer looks horrible, it might seem like an insignificant thing but its an ugly blog of purple thats always sitting on the screen.

The white text with black border works for the most part but there are times where it is on a white background and becomes harder to read. A semi transparent panel behind text when it sits on white would be enough to create enough contrast.

The way the story is presented isn't particularly engaging. The intro to the characters felt a bit disjointed and the flipflopping between characters I'm not personally a fan of.
With a kinetic novel storytelling is particularly important as you are essentially presenting a story with pictures.
