I don't know, it looks pretty tidy to me, but we all have our own standards.
If it's not too hard, it could be fun.

In theory it's quite easy. In theory.
But coding is my weakest area (although apparently I do some really complex stuff so make of that what you will!)
That's an interesting idea. I don't think I'd be using a picture of me, tho, but there could be a selection of "faces models" to chose from. This would also help you for shots where we could see a part of the MC (hands in chapter 1, whole package in chapter 2, etc.). It would then ease into 3rd person point of view for things like kisses, sex, and general interactions between Pepito and the girls.
But the real question is: will you make a bigger P for people choosing a darker skin?

Questions to which the answer is "No" number 427.But the real question is: will you make a bigger P for people choosing a darker skin?
But I'll be keeping the main game POV all the way. VR is different of course
*needs some variety in her rendering*
I would also advise you to be careful about feature creep and burn out, and although it's good to see you having fun, don't forget to breathe, to take it easy and to rest. The project is still going on strongly and there is no deadline, you don't have to shove everything into it right now, no matter how excited about new ideas you are.

It's just if I'm going to do it, now would be the time. I don't think I could face revisiting all of this again tbh!

I'd wager the majority of us are just as pleased.
Yup, I though I noticed that she had found some this time...
You do you. As always, I'll support you, but this should not come to the detriment of your own self. That being said, I know how it is to feel the rush of creation going to your head and there's nothing anyone can say that would make you go down to earth. Thus, have a safe trip inside your head, don't fall down, eat Jaffa cakes and keep making pretty pretties!

Nottravis DA22 Huitieme Sinphil
Thank you all for taking the time to consider my musings.
Its a shame you can't comment more Notty, but yes, spoilers are evil and terrible things that should remain imprisoned out of sight and temptation. I'm interested to see how my impressions change as the story moves forward. The conversation with Amanda at the end of Chapter 3 felt like a step towards a bigger role for the MC, so I'm hopefully that'll continue with Ch 4.
I also appreciated the moment of vulnerability (or at least uncertainty) that Chris had on the romance path, but that could just be a me thing.
Regarding the niche question... I'm cautiously optimistic. Yeah, when I first looked at the patreon earning list I was horrified. And like DA22 said, its not exclusive to adult games, or even gaming. I've been equally shocked looking at a list of bestselling fantasy/sci-fi authors. But even if we're never going to see Nottravis knock ICSTOR off the podium I think there's definitely room for H5's audience to grow. There's enough successful 'high brow' adult games out there to prove that there is a market for something more than "teenager with large genitals has intercourse with their 'landlady' and 'roommates'".
DA22 & Sinphil, I'm basically in agreement with you that its early days and there's still plenty of opportunity for the MC to shine. To some extent its an issue for the episodic format. That being said, I think waiting too long would definitely be a mistake. We're three chapters and many-thousand words in already. Sure, it's quality scene setting. But we're still waiting for the payoff (dramatic, romantic, or sexual).
Obviously you've all got faith in Notty producing the goods. You guys have loved what's come so far, you're going to love what comes next.
For me it's a bit different. I like what's come so far. I hope that I love what's coming next. But until some of the payoff comes I'm going to be on the fence.
Also, you all (H5 fans in general) post too much! I kept meaning to reply and then getting distracted by the five pages of new posts that had sprung up since last time I checked!

It's true. And no, not a newbie anymore. Not at all.
I don't get the reference...
Not if she wants to win.

Yeah, that one's sailed over my head too.
And I'm not just saying that because I want horrible things to be rendered. That's a bonus.

Worth a try. It's a neat feature and beats any kind of character creation I've seen in a VN so far.
I would most likely render my own MC(s), if only to be consistent with other characters. I could really see getting some creative fun out of this.
If it's a one time opportunity, it should be explored, I think. At least you won't later regret not trying to do this, if it proves too difficult to code. Chapter One can wait a bit.
Really fascinating how much the two of you are alike.

I can see why the MC was poofed out so quickly now. It's because he played it for the first time.
Hmm, would Olaf Olafsson thrive on a space station?I would most likely render my own MC(s), if only to be consistent with other characters. I could really see getting some creative fun out of this.
