Another problem of Dev is her lack of comunicating skills. Her Discord is seem dead. Seem she actully replied to me in discord was more like my Luck, since she rarely reply to even her Patrons. Basicaly no one even asked about structure of game she planing. So no one knew for third year of development if MC would pick girls for harem until some random guy like me asked.
Which is hilarious and show what kind comunication level her fans with her had when they cant even ask basic stuf related to game.
Comunication is important to build trust so fans wont start suspected they are scamed.
Good example how dude who made that game My New Memories also cant produce New Content because of problems with German Police, yet he comunicated alot with his fans and they kept their suport despite him not able produce much content.
If she atleast was talking with fans and explaining them what she planing, and why she cant produce content so fast(from what it seem her story prety standart strict asian parents want her get one job yet she rebeled and decided live on her own and now have to work 2 jobs to pay bills, since game isnt as prophitable as she thought it will be).
Now she also perfectionist which basicaly makego nust if something isnt going how she intented to be, so she always ahve irge restart and make it perfect, and when it fail again, she go nuts even more and again restarting it.
And worst is because of lack of comunication seem her fans dont even know if she gona drop game or not.
Funny part is even now she can corect all past mistakes, if she would start deal with this novel and any potential future novels as prober buisness not just some hobby of rebel teen girl.
Now I by the way I get what is this Bipolarity of female characters: It teen girl rage when she have supressed emotions by strict parents.
As for Dev herself she seem young girl, who push her own emotions into all her characters. As she said herself she 90% Nanamy and 10% Antonela. Basicaly Nanamy is what she is in real life and Antonela what she want to be but cant.
And it not actualy bad I think, because in the way her characters based on real life woman so they kinda realistic, which make them more interisting. Because most women in these novels are based on how males wished them to be: obidient and so on.
I think she could have monetize her characters if she basicaly would make proper transformation from real life angry teen girls into typical females male fanatsy girl. And process of taming these "tsundare" girls would something male fans would enjoy.
So that is not bad think, like I said taming crasy girls is fun.
But again lack of comunication make her simply dont understand what her fans want. She completely new to everithing.
She even confessed she had zero idea how make sexual scene originaly. Since she seem wanted make non sexual harem dating sim, but realised there already lots of those so she went for sexual. So she had to play other games to understand how sex work and what is usually going in those novels.
And that was mistake, if I wanted make Otome games for girls I woudl ask fangirls on forum what they like, what archtype of dudes they find atractive and what not, what plot they prefer. ALways gather data from original source: real people, not from secondary.
So instead of asking her fans what they really enjoy she simply guesing and sometime she hit sometime she miss. Some of her new sexual scenes are good like whole Isabela scene, but some of them look weird. Sometime she push sexual content too soon like MC see his mother pissing. Like holy hell wait girl, he barely talked with her and you already pushing water sports. Or sometime it too long like content with his daughter in previous versions of game took forever to even begin.
Good erotic games have balance between sexual content and drama, and build sexul corruption of girls slowly but steady.
Anyway despite all this I would recomend not drop game, but basicaly gather herself together. She clearly have unique art style which would allow her produce not only this game, but alot of such games if she would take it abit more serious.
I would also recomend her work on her comunicating skills since only way sell these games through marketing: engage with fans and promise them Golden Mountains, they would get hyped and would market game for her.
Basicaly she should signal every 5 minute she wont disapear and take game developing serious. So her fans would stay and beleive she would eventually finish game.
I wrought this wall of text because I personaly enjoy game, depspite all it flaws, because it have potential. It have tags I like: Virginity, Harem, Incest, Impregnation,FFM. Those are actully rare and not much of games with those tags at same time.
I just hope dev wont drop game. But instead would finish this game, learn from her mistakes and would make in future games with similiar tags.
But unfortuantly there is risk she may simply drop it all, which would be huge shame, because potential is great.
