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.

More than welcome. I find these sort of conversations really useful tbh.
Oh for sure. The MC finds himself q....well. Let's see when Four comes out
You don't have permission to view the spoiler content.
Log in or register now.
But all we can do is see of course. Perhaps, even with the remaster, it won't be popular. Too strong a story, too many sexual options (and Christ, some of it is filth. We don't even have tags for most of it!), too much actually counting on making decisions as opposed to just grinding and whatnot.
But my course is set in many ways. I couldn't write or make the game differently I don't think - at least not this one for sure.
However, my thanks once again for your sensible input - and who knows, maybe we'll change that like to a love one day after all?
I know, right? Madness!
Yurp!Wow! That's one awesome mess!
No one
I am nothing like that bubbleheaded pervy weirdo!Really fascinating how much the two of you are alike.

Thank you for having posted your musings
Looks like your MC will be one of heroic deeds and professionalism skills
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't
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.
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.
All Hail Notty, blessed be she among temptresses.
I wouldn't worry for you (but I can understand that you're still not totally sure).
I'm sure I don't see what you mean. Isn't 364 post a day the norm?
We might be a chatty bunch, but never hesitate to post your thoughts in here. As long as you're not some trollish cunt, everyone is welcomed with slightly open

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.
How about a bright, kind, adventureous girl with a great sense of humour and some perhaps slightly odd but interesting interests?
