Okay I'm not done with this game yet but:

I was initially not too keen on this game because of the first impressions on the art(and the fact that I thought it was a management game), so I put it off for a while but, GOD DAMN, the writing is nothing short of sublime. It's crazy good. Sexy, has good banter and the characterizations are excellent. I've lowkey come to love the art as well.
Great game so far. Only gripe is that I wish there was more of a middle-ground between being a prude and an absolute netorase fiend. I mean there is one and it's still quite good but I wish the needle was slightly more centered. Great game regardless.

Thank you! So glad you're having a good time. The desire for a middle ground route has come up before, but there are simply some paths that I have to cut. There are already so many choices already. Hundreds. And I try to make sure each one has an immediate effect or an effect later in the game, no matter how small.

Hello! And hey I get it. I'm playing the willpower route for my first play-through, and as of the start of chapter 3, I am enjoying it quite a lot. I will save-scum a pervert choice to see a hot scene with no consequences so it's all good. I can imagine it's no mean feat making this. The love put into the writing is felt!

Look all I'm saying is maybe the goblin suitor needs to know how to do a shadow clone jutsu to recreate this :unsure:

It's just a low priority for me. I always played my VNs muted in the past, so sound might be worth 0-5% of the grade for me while it's worth 20-30% for you. The story was my main focus, the art came second, and everything else was a distant third.

I could accept this from anyone but for an artist to not value the sound design just gives the wrong message. Even for a personal preference, that's just extra weird. Specially as you once finished your vision for the 0.1 and when it was silent as if it was the game's funeral instead of its 'birth', and you felt that this was what it should be for a first introduction to your product... The fact that you feel that sound and music only adds like at MOST ~5% to the overal game is what shocked me the most.

Dude, a good sound design and background music elevated many games (not just ero vn's/rpgs but regular ones) to success (overwhelming success in some cases), whilst it buried others due to them having bad or straight-up non-existing ones.

Anyway, I'm not just trying to attack you (even if it kinda sounds like I do), but it's just... I hope that once you add it you will see how much it will add to it. :)

The goblin art is amazing. You seriously leveled up at drawing.

As for the sound... I'm a big believer in artists only doing what they truly love. If you don't feel any passion for adding sounds, don't do it, the quality will suffer. Badly done sound is worse than no sound at all from my experience.

Your game right now is actually well suited for adding sounds retroactively. You have 2/3 frame "animations" where you can have slapping sounds. You have build-up in your writing where you can strategically time moaning sound effects that line up with textual reveals etc. So I don't think you have to worry about missing out on an opportunity to add sounds to the game. If you ever change your mind in the future I think it would be trivial to add sounds in and make it sound like the game was designed around it from the ground up.

What a lovely game, and how amazing to see the Developer so actively engaged. May I ask the developer what his influences and favourite comics/games are that led to this game?

I'm recently in love with the "wife on quest with ugly 3rd adventurer" series of games started by Cursed Forest Quest (and then quickly inspiring 2 others such as The Sunken Promise).

(while i impatiently await Chapter 5 free Mac release ahah)

I don't know if I can point to a specific game or IP that led to my interest in barmaids. I remember searching the Internet for pictures of women in dirndls as soon as I could haha. That and those juvenile fantasies of being a wandering adventurer and visiting taverns with sexy wenches, I don't know.

The closest inspiration for making a game myself was NTRMAN's Adelaide Inn 2, but it was an interest of mine long before that.

Anyway, so glad you enjoyed my game.

That really got away from me but this was a major update, so many thoughts.

Anywho, congrats on 1k Patreon and looking forward to 5.5!

You gotta stop hurting yourself with the NTR path man :ROFLMAO: It's not exactly going to get better for MC from here.

I don't have time to respond to everything as I work on 5.5, but know that I read everything and really appreciate reading your thoughts! <3

You put in so much effort though! You have basically written two very different versions of every character so it is at least interesting to see the differences. Even if the NTR pains me
