After finishing writing this message - damn, I wanted to just send a quick response, but ended up with a lot
Hey everyone, that's the dev without the coveted badge yet. Typing out the message with slightly shaken hands as I wake up after not sleeping for a while. My irl job forces me to work, can you believe it?
First of all, I expected like 10 people to leave comments, and maybe like 50 reactions tops, so I'm kinda overwhelmed for now, in a good way. Got 1 facepalm as well, hell yeah (mind you, it's not an incentive to send more facepalms). The reviews are legit as well, I waited for one-liners similar to what I got for some old games on Itch "sucks please delete". It's a pretty short build, but it's good to get some confirmation that it isn't indeed terrible. However, now that I replayed and read some comments, I want to revamp some things.
Anyways.
Answering comment by comment is a bit too much, so I will pull together all comments/reviews and write out detailed response + action plan after taking a small break to evaluate stuff. Guess I'll turn it into a public Patreon post.
I appreciate the sudden wave of new Patrons either from here or Itch - cool to see that people are interested. Numbers only go up as they say.
And thanks to everyone for commenting, and to
Lerd0 for being active in my dev thread so it didn't look like I'm just talking to myself. I will respond to comments I see on the first page, and go into a lot more detail later:
yoyomistro - the rules of Patreon easily bend a common man like me in regards to incest... or do they? After all, no one knows where your mother is, or if father has any other daughters...
OhGodNotAgain - everything in the game is avoidable, including Trap, anything else. No NTR/Sharing.
Compassion routes focus more on vanilla, submission depends on the character. I'm figuring out how to get this right so each option feels realistically different from one another.
JennaJJ rKnight - call my nickname a rebellion against all Harems where you end up with a single girl. Well, this can happen here too, but it would be a choice
fishbrain - oops, I didn't think about it, at this point, it runs out when you aren't seeing "interact" buttons anymore, it's likely confusing. I will add it starting from the next build.
Shagrynn - unfortunately, it's just that the v0.1 is not that long. Once more things are in the game, you will feel a lot more freedom and options with how things progress. My mistake on not making the v0.1 End Screen, as fishbrain said.
Zemax redbear76 LIONREX VoitKO redridr86 mistercoon LinaGames - thanks!
Code vein player - there're a lot of things to improve, but I hope so, thanks!
Thanks all, I'm pretty bad at responding to messages and typically you will hear back in chunks of text. Keeping track of messages and communicating is harder for me than making a game, but I'll work on it
The stuff I do irl is pretty intense, so I typically do development during evenings & 1 weekend. If this ever goes uphill, I'll reduce my irl hours. That's also why my best guess is that with my current schedule, an update will be every 3-5 weeks.
