If you have bigger chunks of time, that can cause it's own problems. If it's just morning, day, evening, night say, you then have to have some events that take no time while others do. Which is confusing.

Because otherwise, you get problems like having to skip a whole day just to get another evening turn because you can only do one thing. So if you have a watch porn scene and a bath scene to do in the evening, you have to burn through a whole other day after seeing one to get another evening to do the other.

Although don't really need the minutes for that. Maybe once it's fully fleshed out that would have more purpose if there were real time restrictions. Like needing to take a taxi instead of walking, which costs money, which means you have to do something else for money (or other penalty). But right now the minute and 10 minute are just buttons you can mostly ignore, which isn't a biggie.

The low score is also because he stopped making Big Brother, which was very popular. And this isn't a remake of that (well partially), so you're just going to have some bitter reviews for that.

Edit: I actually like the dialog system, as opposed to have dialog appear line by line. It allow me to dump all the text at once, go to the top and read at my own speed. As opposed to hitting fast forward (if that's even an option) with the risk of missing some line of text.

The minutes are stupid idea no matter how we look at it.The hour system from BB was more than enough.Not to mention even with that system we have plenty of hours with nothing to do.

Yeah, as I said the 1 and 10 buttons are not really needed. I mentioned it as did notice there is that taxi and walk option, which is different in money and time. So could see some potential or what they were thinking, even if it doesn't matter currently which it doesn't. But having two buttons you don't use on the screen is something I personally don't need to complain about.

I'd take skipping an hour, or using the rest, over having to burn through multiple days because I have to do couch events, bath events, Julie room events etc. during a one 'evening' time slot.

Well, each to their own. In due time i liked BB. Kira is amazing. but now this gameplay is exhausting me. i just cant bring myself play it after much better projects .

maybe author needs to rethink development and start smthing new. So far ideal formula of gameplay and VN for me is Being a dik. example for others .

Glamour is exactly that, a new system to deliver content in visual novels. Being a dik is just a run of the mill visual novel. It has the advantage of having animations, other than that the story is a total borefest.

Max's story will take a long time, I played the latest version and I saw that it is not worth wasting time.

Being A DIK is very overrated, a forced humor, silly and boring story. But I understood what you meant, that the game should be similar in terms of gameplay, but it is very hard for the darksilver to start over or rethink about your game.

I think he is securing next 5-6 years for himself.Maybe around that time Max's part of the game will reach where we end with BB 0.13.After 4 updates for Max we barely scratch some of the content of BB 0.2 and with only 4 updates per year easy to guess we will need at least 50-60 more Glamour updates.

matter of taste . a lot of beautiful characters , amazing renders, no annoying grind.

For me that is WVM.We have huge variety of girls.

maybe someone loves that grind system but i d like to see these beautiful charecters in more comfortable gameplay. author certainly has talant but he is not making the most of his ideas.

You can wait 5-6 more months for BB Another Story to make some real progress.We already have different renders for the same scenes as shower,sleep,swim etc.

Yes, I think. No, I'm not saying that Glamour is better than Being A DIK. I just don't think Being A DIK is a fucking game.

Truth. I didn't even imagine it. So if there are 4 updates to Max’s story per year then the game will take years to complete. Now I stayed very despondent.
