No, I understand the point of the game. I'm still saying that is why its thread is dead. Its a game without enough gameplay to call it a game, but too much to call it a kinetic novel, with a hyper-focus on writing, but the writing isn't very good.
I specifically said I made that post and not a review BECAUSE its new. This is me giving it leeway. And I read the op. Your intent does not make the game magically more appealing or better.
I don't even understand how you read my post and got 'this game is for one demographic' when I specifically and only praised it for being able to choose X, Y or Z (dom, sub, fuck those concepts).
I'm really not sure how you managed to misinterpret my post on so many levels at once. Its honestly impressive.
Like if you don't want any feedback on your writing or anything and are just going to say 'its because its new, I'll fix it later'. I don't understand why you posted the game in this state.
I welcome criticism just fine, but I'm not going to let people get away with saying "the writing is bad" as a general statement when I am very sure the writing is above average, even if parts of it are faulty at the moment. I have enough confidence in myself not to be a sad sap who caves at every negative comment, and I've already acknowledged there's a pacing issue. But just because there's one issue, that doesn't invalidate the rest of the writing, so if you have more thoughts on why it's not good beyond the one pertinent example, I'd genuinely like to hear it.
You gave two actual instances in which you say the writing is sub-par, how fast it feels (which is a general statement) and the moment where the MC accepts both girls (which is a specific statement). The general statement tells me there's a pacing issue that I have to figure out how to solve. Fine enough. The specific statement tells me a problem you had with a certain moment, but is fixed by the previous criticism being resolved, so nothing new. You also called the MC a manwhore, which on further thought I can see how you would get a feeling like that due to the pacing, but the dialogue thereafter should clear that up. And again, this just loops into the pacing which is one singular issue. I might understand your position on it if you had only played up till the futa scene, but even then there are the pink options and plenty of banter and conversations before that which should shed light on the MC's character enough to dissuade that feeling.
Then you only said "the sex is okay," and the writing "isn't very good." It's not that I don't accept criticism, it's just that your criticism of the writing is so general that it ends up being "just make a different game/rewrite the entire thing," or else it's just the one issue you've repeatedly alluded to. The point of posting it early is to get constructive criticism and suggestions of what to add, and you gave very little of either (the pink choices, the rushed pace, and notifying me of the bug).
The OP's context isn't to make it better, it's to set expectations, of which you clearly disregarded. If your criticism of a game is "your game isn't getting attention because it's not a different form of game," then that criticism is meaningless to the creator who is trying to make a specific type of game. The reason it's just text is because there is no budget, it's meant to be an initial project which isn't super glamorous and is written without a specific demographic in mind. That's the context the OP provides, which should tell you that, yes, clearly it would get more attention if it was the opposite of those things but there's no budget and there're no plans for that right now.
Me thinking you didn't understand the intent of the game is because I think you failed to understand what I just elaborated on, because your criticisms, barring the pacing, make no sense if you understand the intent of the game and its current state.
TL;DR: Most of your criticism is moot because it's either too general or is already completely obvious, causing me to think you didn't understand the intent of the game.
