The game is nice but there are too many decisions and paths mutually exclusive, a lot are not minor change in the story; this require to play multiple games.
Actually you can set yourself in the party like a respectable healer, a healer/looter, a slut looter/healer without shame or respect. You can have an important relation with Kayden (I haven't tried), Panki (as nice girlfriend or mistress), Roopah (as her slut or a wannabe girlfriend) or Lel (she can have a mean or a sweet path), you can change your body (female, girly boy or futa) and your companions dislike certain body types, you can learn some skill to go slutty and not make you partner angry or jelous.
I'm not considering the secondary characters like Leigh, the Goblin, Harmony, Twig/Champ.

And this game is only at the version 0.4c.
I'd love the different choices but I also fear all the hours and the work to go trough all these different paths.

And yet somehow the Dev has been doing all this part time, and has very recently started doing it full time. Can you imagine how much crazier things are gonna get now? I'm rather excited about the possibilities.

But as a certified healslut the harsher, unreasonable and degrading you get treated the better, it's just a matter of time before they force you to pay for their repair costs from your cut and heal all pets up to 100% every fight (which you are reminded of are still more valuable to the group than you :sneaky:), they start using your inventory slots as extra backpack for their trash loot so you can't pick anything up for yourself. All the while getting scolded along the way for everything bad that happens to the group, be it things I obviously have zero control over. DPS dc'd and we're missing burst damage, my fault. Tank taking huge crits that are unhealable, my fault. Random dps aoe breaks cc, my fault. Nobody bringing pots to compensate spike damage, my fault. Tell me how this little healer can repent....

That's an interesting point. Despite MegaReal being a game, we don't see monsters dropping loot. Now, to keep the game sane, every monster can't drop loot, but you almost never see any drops. I remember there being some potions ingredients but there are no weapons or armor. Even if Sparkle can't wear them, someone else can. You can choose to get Wejit some armor and a weapon, but the great sword disappears after Lel and Sparkle recover it from the dungeon.

Yes, it is an example of great skills.
But I also fear that there could be a risk to make the product so complicated for a single programmer to finish it or at least to delay it.
I played "A Wife And Mother" and the story easily could be split in 2 parts: good and bad walkthroughs/choices.

I hope to see this game completed because is about fantasy, isekai, moral and hard choices. There is not pure good and evil but shades of grey, for example the party leader isn't an asshole because is an asshole but because he want to keep the people alive: he gives credits to other companions, do their side quests, wait the protagonist to return but also punish the errors.
To be frank I would have expelled the protagonist from the party and invited a "normal" healer. :)

Just for my own reference, what did you think a healslut was? The whole point is that she gets unreasonably blamed for everything and insulted despite working one of the hardest and things not being her fault.

You thought a healslut was just a slutty healer?

This is not the devs first or only game. Thanks to his recent Patreon goal though it is the first project he'll be able to do full time. I'm confident that barring acts of god the game will be completed.

I think there's more behind the scenes reasoning to why Kayden has held to the MC. It wasn't until this last update that we started seeing the real meat of the plot. I expect there's more surprises in store for us.

Also, you can edit your posts instead of making a new post. Double posting just makes more work for the mods.

Well there is, depending on the path you take you kill some monsters and a goblin for a chest with valuables and you get gold coins for selling items in town. Also you get the epic sword for Planki from imps, though they technically don't 'drop' them. But it's not 1 on 1 the same as a game, I'm sure the loot and being a 'loot puppy' is going to be a part that will be expanded later on. We already have confirmed new outfits for sparkle.

Are there new outfits for the lootpuppy route or just the free use route? The four that were posted earlier seem to all be free use or related outfits.

Think the first 2 might be, the princess and bunny girl might not be.

I'm not sure there's as many branches as it first looks like. You've got the obvious hard ones, like loot slut or not. But some of those relationship choices seem shorter term and the body type can just be a picture change (not story).

Like Lel. If you treated her meanly with the gag, she insists you wear the gag later on (no choice vs a choice) and definitely sounds meaner. But that's only for that update/story chunk. More recent updates/content (like going to get the fish, or starting a night with Panki at the end of the last) she's plays exactly the same regardless how you treated her with the gag before and how she acted then.
Like if you waited to transform back and so were naked back at base, she let you dress either way (mean or not), no change in action or text. Or even the slap thing earlier to test healing.
So seems less like a sub/dom type stat check and path split (or even just changing content throughout the game) you get in many games, and more like a short term content difference in any given story chunk.
You were mean with the gag, she made you wear it in that scene, done. Doesn't effect (so far) her other content.

For the body changes, for Roopah, she did the exact same thing behind the bar no matter what body type you had, so that's just a picture and some text changes. Which is easier than having to write a whole different path due to story and character reactions.

Which is kinda sad in some ways, but entirely understandable in others as to your worry about how much work it would be and grinding production to a halt.

I am taking this game for a test drive and after about 45 minutes of play I've found myself lolling on several occasions. There is some quirky and funny dialog in this game, especially from Wejit. Very nicely done!

Yes, the puns and in general the dialog are well written.
