More than welcome. I find these sort of conversations really useful tbh.Thank you all for taking the time to consider my musings.
Oh for sure. The MC finds himself q....well. Let's see when Four comes outThe 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.
But even if we're never going to see Nottravis knock ICSTOR off the podium
I know, right? Madness!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!
Yurp!Wow! That's one awesome mess!I suppose that answers the question who does the cooking.

Thank you for having posted your musings
Looks like your MC will be one of heroic deeds and professionalism skillsIts 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 think that count as you being a man, and seing Chris all flustered would soften the hardest among us, and vice versa (pun very much intended)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.![]()
Originality sells! Or at least, I'd like to think it's true, but reality more often than not reminds us that it actually doesn'tRegarding 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'".
Just remember that the three first chapters are "merely" the introduction to the story (and what a great introduction it's been) Now, it can finally begin.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).
All Hail Notty, blessed be she among temptresses.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.
I'm sure I don't see what you mean. Isn't 364 post a day the norm?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!
Tell me about it.Originality sells! Or at least, I'd like to think it's true, but reality more often than not reminds us that it actually doesn't![]()
Aye, this may not be a game for the masses, but it is and will be a cult game with a dedicated following. It may be more difficult for its audience to find a way to it, but it will happen. I firmly believe that.Nonetheless, this is the kind of game that will be loved and cherished and remembered with fondness when others will only wither as quick monkey-spanking material.
How about a bright, kind, adventureous girl with a great sense of humour and some perhaps slightly odd but interesting interests?I am nothing like that bubbleheaded pervy weirdo!
Yup, that's a pretty accurate description of Sarah. For Notty, though... you'd have to add Jaffa cakes addict, cackling temptress and evil mastermind or is it mistressmind?How about a bright, kind, adventureous girl with a great sense of humour and some perhaps slightly odd but interesting interests?![]()
Well, I said alike. Not that they are exactly the same.Yup, that's a pretty accurate description of Sarah. For Notty, though... you'd have to add Jaffa cakes addict, cackling temptress andevilmastermind or is it mistressmind?![]()
But, but then why do they keep having me make all that soup?Yurp!
No one![]()
Sounds about right.How about a bright, kind, adventureous girl with a great sense of humour and some perhaps slightly odd but interesting interests?![]()
Jaffa cakes for Notty, VR for Sarah...Yup, that's a pretty accurate description of Sarah. For Notty, though... you'd have to add Jaffa cakes addict, cackling temptress and evil mastermind or is it mistressmind?![]()
What is that with all the bad asses? I have you know that Chris, Annie, Sarah, Kelly and even Trisha have great delectable enticing asses and everyone disagreeing will be locked up in a faraway cave with a certain wing-spider or ten.Okay - halfway through the 12 pages that have accumulated:
I was planning on it. After all, she might actually know what's going on!
^ Seconded
Okay, I guess that means I thirded?
And Ping-Pong?
Me too: Annie romance, the right way.
I love this so much.
Aye - Annie is a certified badass in my book. Anyone that can dismantle a space ship, fix all the shit gone wrong and get it working again is a god/goddess as far as I'm concerned. (Have I mentioned how much I adore strong, capable women?)
Achey as in painful or should we assume there are other reasons to ache?Oh, all the rooms have no smoking signs in. Except the lounge. Marcus was pretty insistent...
Usually, you get to see them due to different poses. Probs
Dunno about hurt but I guarantee ache...
You're "lucky" in that you'll have the Chris domme route the way it should be played (at least as I see it in my head). Play a chapter a day and seeing Chris at the end of each Chapter....*clamps thighs together in achey flashback*
Now is that to make it harder for some of us to thread that path or just a tease to make sure we have no choice? As if that cute pirate is not a strong enough temptation on her own?She's even cuter now![]()
Yeah you meanie are having us deal with real people with all their own quirks, eccentricities, personalities, strengths and weaknesses instead of just polishing solar panels, shower peeking and showing of our super chlongs to get our porn fix. The horror, what is the world coming to?Thanks. All the transit rooms are meant for single occupancy tho *thinks back to her time staying in various mess accomodation*. Indeed -most- of the rooms are set up that way...
Oh, everybody knows what's going on. Or at least thinks they do...It's just what they they're thinking about might only relate to them of course. After all why would, say, Chris care about what Trisha is up to or Amanda be interested in what interests Sarah, or Mike be interested in what's driving Chris or......you get the idea![]()
Well that joke might be a bit more obscure outside of English speaking countriesView attachment 417954
Evening artificial light with the lounge shutters closed
EDIT: Yes, I know we all get the joke, but Annie is over a hundred years down the line so the reference is a bit obscure by then - not to the resident perky pixie tho.
Edit, edit. Is it just me or is that skirt a little short to be playing pool?
To be honest not sure if I would use the feature, since I kinda like the faceless MC, but it indeed sounds like something you would want to insert now and many would love.So...I have an idea for a feature. And I want to run it past mylabrats..you guys.

Inferiority complexes Pepito? "But the real question is: will you make a bigger P for people choosing a darker skin?![]()
Well it looks like we have uncovered one of Notty's fantasies,not having to cook for herself.Wow! That's one awesome mess!I suppose that answers the question who does the cooking.
![]()
Agreed, especially with that last part, just do not take it to hard if it does not work, but at least no need for regrets in that case.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.
Indeed, I guess that explains part of Notty's dislike and love for Rahrah.Really fascinating how much the two of you are alike.![]()
Well let's hope the auto cook is at least decent and also takes into account different tastes. If just cooks for th masses the food will be likely kinda bland, like many mainstream games.Yurp!
No one![]()
Well that describes Chris and Annie just as well and somehow I suspect Trisha, Amanda and Kelly as well, we just need to get to know them a bit better.How about a bright, kind, adventureous girl with a great sense of humour and some perhaps slightly odd but interesting interests?![]()
Sarah is love Sarah is life
First is debatable, though I guess she is more playful as truly evil and may have some special ideas about rewards and punishment.Well, I said alike. Not that they are exactly the same.
Still...
- Notty isn't evil.
- Sarah may well prove to be a mastermind.
- Sarah is totes a temptress.
- It's hard to determine what her laugh sounds like.
- Who knows what Sarah will have for breakfast in Chapter Four, or what her favourite snacks are.
That is the proof? What about Chapter One? For me that was the best teasing I've experienced in a game at the time!Guess it is proof though Annie is just as aware as Sarah that she is very attractive and knows how to make sure to grab your attention when she wants to and where she wants that attention directed.![]()
I can understand that. For me though that would an be awesome way to differentiate MC's with different personalities. I'd totally want the asshole MC to look different than the "me" MC. (Might add him a goatee).To be honest not sure if I would use the feature, since I kinda like the faceless MC
Yep, that it does.Indeed, I guess that explains part of Notty's dislike and love for Rahrah.Though it is for a weird reason still my bet that it is Amanda that Notty thinks has most of herself.

It seems it does offer a decent menu variety.Well let's hope the auto cook is at least decent and also takes into account different tastes. If just cooks for th masses the food will be likely kinda bland, like many mainstream games.
Well, I admit I suck at character description, so I can see why you might interpret that for others, but I would use different words to describe each of them.Well that describes Chris and Annie just as well and somehow I suspect Trisha, Amanda and Kelly as well, we just need to get to know them a bit better.
She wouldn't be comfortable with that I think. She might be too excited someone is going to play with her to pay attention to how much she is showing. Or she might consider it similar to wearing bikini bottoms, so not a big deal, just a night attire.Sarah is love Sarah is lifeWell she defo is not a shy girl, considering this is still chapter 2. It does make you wonder how far she will take her teasing if you had the option to sit down on the bed next to her, considering her fetish

She is not evil. She's just an excellent writer.First is debatable, though I guess she is more playful as truly evil and may have some special ideas about rewards and punishment.![]()
Oh yeah, most of them are.No doubt, then again that is something all women in game share as well as a certain love for attention.
Yeah, with Sarah, sometimes you just never know what the fuck she is thinking.She wouldn't be comfortable with that I think. She might be too excited someone is going to play with her to pay attention to how much she is showing. Or she might consider it similar to wearing bikini bottoms, so not a big deal, just a night attire.
That reminds me of someone...Yeah, with Sarah, sometimes you just never know what the fuck she is thinking.![]()
Agreed on the teasing in One, it also shows her playful nature though and quite a trust in MC that he will behave and has sufficient self control or is testing MC. Same with Sarah in that scene for someone she just knows one day.That is the proof? What about Chapter One? For me that was the best teasing I've experienced in a game at the time!
I can understand that. For me though that would an awesome way to differentiate MC's with different personalities. I'd totally want the asshole MC to look different than the "me" MC. (Might add him a goatee).
Yep, that it does.
I'm bet Amanda was the one character Notty has most fun writing. I'm sure there will something from her in Amanda, but if it's more than in Sarah... We'll see.

Yep, I agree Sarah's flirting is her playfulness rather than naivete. I myself do like to act in a somewhat naive or foolish manner for fun and amusement, so what she does is quite familiar to me.Same with Sarah in that scene for someone she just knows one day.Well my take on Sarah is that she is very well aware of her charms and impact on MC, especially considering the flirting she is doing on that path. This is something where her interest is piqued and she is very much there and paying attention is my assumption. So no accidents. I may be wrong in my assumptions though of course.
![]()
Well I disagree a little, I do think she was testing the waters in chapter 1 and 2 for her own reasons. Wanting the MC to be well disposed to her, and that both Chris and Annie might even be in on that.Yep, I agree Sarah's flirting is her playfulness rather than naivete.

That said, I don't think she's trying to seduce the MC though. Not until Chapter Three at any rate. Accidents were accidents, it's part of her somewhat ditzy nature.![]()
Hard to say, it could be she was trying to help keep from getting kicked out, or maybe she is just that flirty in general...Well I disagree a little, I do think she was testing the waters in chapter 1 and 2 for her own reasons.

Well, it's what I would expect from other games, but here girls don't revolve around the MC. I think she was just friendly, because that's who she is. Unless you're Trisha, it's the MC who needs spark an interest in them.Well I disagree a little, I do think she was testing the waters in chapter 1 and 2 for her own reasons.

You mean like when the artwork was your weakest feature before you started the remaster?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!)
I see what you did there! face revisiting, very good*nods nods*
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!
*is equally, if not more pleased*

Protesting much?I am nothing like that bubbleheaded pervy weirdo!

To be honest I do not think Sarah is filthy or planning to use sex as such to get a favorable report from MC. Remember though Sarah is not a wallflower, inexperienced or shy and seems to like to flirt anyway and has an outgoing personality (well at least on the outside). Also remember that the girls mostly move in the same circles most of the time and do not seem to have found a steady relationship among those they deal with on a daily basis. MC is a fresh face to them and seems to be reasonably attractive and competent, so it is only natural there is some interest within the girls as well to get to know him. Now if Sarah can get MC to like her she can see that as a bonus and him more likely to give her a favorable report if she can impress him. So I think it is a bit of both.Hard to say, it could be she was trying to help keep from getting kicked out, or maybe she is just that flirty in general...
