100% against I don't like any kind of sandbox, especially when a game didn't start off with a sandbox. I can put up with some sandbox if I like the game enough but I still don't like it , doesn't matter if there is a grind or not
It seems to me that if we add a little variety in the form of a sandbox with additional content. for example, you can earn money on a webcam or for racy photos and spend this money, for example, on clothes or a tattoo or Kate’s hairstyle. I think it wouldn't be bad.

personally I prefer those to be choices through the standard renpy branching dialogue instead of a sandbox element but that is just me. Not saying don't add sandbox it's the dev's game but just voiced my opinion is all. It could be okay but usually I find sandbox takes to much away from the VN element of a AVN unless it's bare minimum . So yeah im rather picky on if i'll enjoy it but tbh the main thing I do dislike is how it wasn't present in S1 and S2. But i'll for sure check it out when it comes out to see if I can tolerate it if not i'll just drop the game and move on.

Totally agree.

There's nothing worse that jumping about from room to room to try find some stupid item you're supposed to click on, or items you're supposed to clear up. Then jump out to the city map and faff about looking for your next location there as well.

Imho, it's a total nonsense from the point and click, Commodore Amiga days.
It's dull, frustrating and it's a cheap way to pad out game length to boot.

SandBox is million times better then the simple RenPy! A lot more actions and stuff to do like it should be in a real game and not just reading a story as you read a book or comics while eventually picking some choices! RenPy is for the so called "lazy" people who don't like doing any actions while SandBox,RPGM and Unity are for this who actually enjoy playing a "game" and do a lot more actions(especially in the RPGM there are plenty of actions to do) instead just reading a book! I always enjoy a lot more when there's some actions to do and move from one place to another,equip/pick different clothes or whatever else is need to be done in the game instead just only reading a story and pick choices to see the different scenes - i'm not saying that RenPy are not good but they are not so enjoyable like SandBox,RPGM and Unity since there's no any actions to do except picking choices! The only good think about RenPy is that you can more easilly play a few games one after another when it happens that there's a new version of few of the games you enjoy playing,but i would preffer to play longer one game and let the rest that happens to have a update for the next days - that way you can always have some game to play while waiting for a update on the others that you suddenly finished playing their last versions :cool:

I disagree but I also disagree with the people who cry for Renpy all day. Neither is better than the other if implemented correctly, the real problem imo, is poor programming and game design utilizing the wrong engine. I love Sandbox and Renpy when the game is designed well.
