Well, that's all? A 15 min demo with "work in progress" after every click? I don't have a stick in my ass but that picture after a while(30 times) is annoying. Especially that middle finger. Not the best idea.

Also you should really fix the bug with the bed. What was the point of releasing it in such state?

Less ai filters will be better. On some renders that plastic glow is overwhelming. And a less solid textbox would be better.

I looked through photos of my friends from Sweden and Norway. If she is a natural blonde she has far too dark eyebrows.

I know this all sounds a little harsh but I'm very curious about your project. Cheers and good luck!

How bad is the sadbox part of the game?

How bad is it? Currently you can just walk around the farm and see the various areas. It will eventually have many things to do in each area, as well as many events per area.

Well, I wasn't going to make a different image for each place that is still under construction, lol.

The bed isn't a bug, it's just not hooked up to the day/night system yet.That is the next step. There are 5 times of day,7 days a week, and 31 days of the month for two months. So, it's a lot of work, and a lot of differently lit renders to finish all those times of day.

Why release it like this? Because it's on my Patreon, and before someone takes it from my Patreon and releases it here without telling me, I now have control over my own game on this site. :)

Less AI filters won't happen. There's only a VERY slight AI filter on faces but it makes them go from looking like Daz Characters, to looking semi-real. And that's the look I prefer.

Not sure what plastic glow you're referring to. That's likely Daz and my fault for not being a master at the program yet.

A less solid textbox WOULD be better. But for now, that's what I have. I also think a less solid Textbox would be good, but came to that realization a month into creating the game so, it's a backburner change for now.

Eyebrows being too dark? Honestly that's very nitpicky, I'm not going to change that. lol.

Yes, it does sound very harsh, but I'm glad you're curious about the project. You didn't hurt my feelings. It's my first game ever and I think I'm doing pretty well for a first timer so, I'm not too worried about it. Some feedback I will take from people if I think it's good feedback, and some I won't. Can't please everyone. But I will continue to try to make the game better and better as I go along.

Finally something new and interesting, a game where FMC can corrupt others. I hope Annika can play with the blonde guy(young version of Leon Kennedy). :love:

Oh yes... She gets to play with EVERYONE. Including some interesting secret characters that you would NEVER guess would be in the game. :) Thanks for your comment.

A promising game to watch out for, the AD is superb though.

Sorry I'm new to this. What's AD?
And thank you SO much for the kind compliment! I am working on this about 18 hours a day so the updates will be many, and large.

Open world still popular?
Click to expand...
Is it not? I don't know. I just make the things I like.
A lot of games have a very confusing open world in VN's. But I think mine is done in an easy enough way to not be overwhelming or annoying. And it'll be easier when I implement the map.

Opened the game, loved the intro until the textbox. Please recode the textbox so that it doesn't cover a large part of the render! They are really beautiful but I HATE having to click extra every frame to close it. Some form of transparency would be at least appreciated.

I do plan to change the TextBox. I feel the same as you. It's just at the back of my list right now. :) Thanks for the feedback!

nice, and thank you, but, the bad thing about sandbox mode is that, if you keep changing the user interface (UI), previous saved game versions won't work. so... the problem here is, if i have to keep replaying your game, again and again, right from the start, it will drive me away, and potentially, a few of your supporters too. just saying, giving you a heads-up. so that you can change your mind very early on for using sandbox.

this was made evident in an inn sim game with UI that kept changing almost every update. every time that happened, old save were unplayable. so, the developer provided previously solved saved games so that he could tamper with the UI thingy as much as he wanted. i forgot the name of the game, but it used japanese anime style graphics in medieval japan, and a medieval japanese inn, with several services, staff training, and an actual plot.

the other problem here is that the developer gave minimal development to training staff skills, while i spent hundreds of game days to maximize staff skills. that pissed me off from playing the game, really, because all inn staff had multi skill sets. that would piss off your supporters as well. so really, please rethink the sandbox thing.

the other thing players have against sandbox is that most of them require you to be at certain places, at certain times. your players aren't psychic. so, please, if you insist on sandbox, provide an in game walk through. recommend you see steps of debauchery to see the game's in game walk through.

so, i won't download, nor play your game, until you say that you've developed a stable UI that will see your players to game completion, has an in game walk through, or that you will remove sandbox altogether. sorry but, that's my experience playing sandbox. not good.

I will possibly do some sort of in-game walkthrough, but it's not on my radar currently. The GUI/UI/UX will be completed in full by the next update, so worrying about losing your saves won't be that big of a deal. I won't be messing with UI and the story at the same time.
This sandbox DOES require you to be at certain places at certain times. But it's not required. There is a New Game Plus for those who want to go back through, keep all their stats, and see the other options. You can't be good and bad at the same time. :) I appreciate the feedback though. Thank you!

Let's see...
I'm going to sound kind of harsh here but, Dev needs to take another look at how the art is playing out in this game cause that ai-filter makes the characters in certain scenes look weird.
Click to expand...
Sorry you feel that way. In the beginning of the game, first 20 or so images, I was still getting my settings right for using a light touch of Flux in ComfyUI. By the end, I finally got it dialed in. It will probably improve even more as time goes on, and I'll possibly redo those first 100 renders, but as for not using it, no. I prefer it to Daz's character looks.
My next game I'll be using all Gen9 characters and they may not need the "boost" to their looks, but this one, they did.

Ok, solid teaser for the game. I've found this mistake. I'm also not quite a fan of the textbox and especially of the portraits. I find it distracting to have the character on screen and another picture with a completely deadpan expression. I think the differing text colors make who is speaking clear enough.

I think the concept of having a female protagonist be a corruptor is unique enough for me to follow the development. However, so far she didn't strike me as particularly manipulative. It would be nice for her to be more active in controlling how others perceive her. For now she's just kind of normal.
