No ntr, instead it's a very romantic game and you can even chose at the start of the game if you want to stay very loyal by disabling polygamy. Fetish wise it's offers a lot more than you would expect with a very vanilla setting.

You might want to try , the previous and actually completed main game of the author. Seriously completed smut games are incredible rare, especially if they are good too.
Blooming Love has a female protag, I know this does too, and I generally don't do female protags. I gonna give this a go just for the fuck of it, not my usual cup of tea tho.

Well, I hope you still end up liking the game. I'm honestly interested in something though: What, for you personally, makes a romantic game where you romance a girl makes it less appealing if you also play as a woman rather than a man? Is that you think you can relate less with a female main character? Or that the often gentler, softer tone of the story doesn't appeal to you? Because to me it seems like this just gives you two girls to enjoy looking at instead of one. Also, as this game shows, masturbation scenes are much more do-able in games with female protagonists. Because most males who play adult games aren't exactly interested in only seeing a male protagonist jerk himself of. Most games fix this by showing what the male protagonist is imagining in his mind, but with a female protagonist you can really just focus on the masturbation itself. So that's why I'm honestly interested in hearing why you prefer a male protagonist

If I can give my opinion too, I prefer games in which the MC is a woman, because I´m a man and, as you say, I prefer to see women in games to men. When I play a game, I´m not so into it that I identify with the MC, men or women. I see it more like a movie. I control the protagonist, but I never feel that I´m the protagonist. Not even with AAA games like "The Witcher III", "Mass Effect" or "Tomb Raider", for example.

But... Yes, about "Blooming love", I like romance, but I don't like that gentler, softer and over all, cliche and SJW politically corrected tone of some stories about lesbians.

Don't know about him, but for me the female MC content is extremely limited to what is enjoyable, girl on girl action and romance is pleasant for a little while before coming to an absolute grinding halt where there is no peak climax, simply because you are not able to make emotional connection due to there not being a dick, which Ava is an absolute exception to, so you just watch and read about two girls rubbing each other like planks, its hot, but not boiling. Other content which usually consists of nothing but dicks, you avoid like a plague, because I don't fancy men, I don't wan't to get fucked by them or read about MC slobbering dicks or other such similar suspect activities.

Male MC, is just standard for me, very easy to follow, very easy not to fall into a pit of some garbage content where it will completely sour the rest of the play through, easy to relate and easy to say game is shit for being so and not get called out "Dude you just don't like Fem MC lmao"

For me, it depends what I'm playing. If it's a game like Fallout or Mass Effect where I can choose the MC and gender doesn't really matter too much, then I'll tend to pick a girl. Much better eye-candy IMO. For the adult games, I'm more likely to pick guys as I can relate better, and pure lesbian smut tends to get old too quickly. Though I will avoid guy/guy like the plague - instant boner killer.

I can't say girl-girl contents gets old to me (obviously, I doubt anyone was question that), but I do also always choose to play as a woman in RPGs when I can. There's actually one argument for that I rarely hear people use that is so important to me with that choice. Sure it's nice to look at a female protagonist, but the main reason why I prefer them is actually because I simply like listening to female voice actors much more than male ones. So yeah, when I spend 20-100 hours playing a game, I'm going to choose the one with the female voice actress.

For example, I already know I'm going to play as Kassandra when AC: Odyssey comes out because I simply like how she sounds so much more than how Alexios sounds (and... she looks fine as hell. That's also a point in her favor).

I do honestly find the argument that it's easier to relate to a male protagonist in adult games a weak one. If you honestlyu have issues relating to a female main character, you might have something you need to look into. Also, I find it somewhat odd how multiple people have now mentioned they think lesbian smut gets old more quickly than adult games with a male protagonist. I don't understand that, since F/F is so rarely seen that it should feel fresh, right? There are so, so, so many male protagonist games out there to play that I'd assume they'd get old after a while. But apparently I'm wrong in assuming that. If more people feel this way, that might be one of the reasons there are so few full F/F games or games with a 'normal' female protagonist who isn't there only to be raped or corrupted. I don't know, just something to think about I guess. I've always found it curious how Lesbian is such a huge porn category (one of the biggest out there in fact) but there are almost no lesbian adult games. It doesn't make me happy, but this would explain it

Honestly, I just feel weird playing as a female protag in a romance type game. I'm probably not going to mind your game too much because it's an actual romantic kind of story whereas most of these games have the females being mindless sluts, more or less. I tend to put myself in the mc's shoes and I don't want to be in the shoes of a bimbo... Your game doesn't have that issue. That being said, when it comes to these games I also have a polygamist streak where I want to see or be with as many women as possible. Dreaming of Dana is my ideal environment when it comes to these games. You have a caring male mc that has legit feelings for the women he's involved with and does not treat them like shit or just sexual objects to use. That's how I'm developing the "good" side of the mc in my game. With your game, I'd feel weird if the woman where to do the same things males do in these games. I understand the double standard I just brought up but hell, there are natural harems in nature composed of 1 male and many females. I can think of none composed of many males and 1 female.

Long story short, your game is probably one I'll be able to get into since the mc isn't a skank. It's even more so likely to be enjoyable to me for the reasons you mentioned. (Why the hell does every adult game have to have a solo masturbation scene with the dude, nobody wants to see that!) I'll definitely let you know what I think once I try it, it'll be a different experience than what I'm used to playing for sure.

I agree. If female MC is charismatic, I find it way better than any male MC. I can even "fall in love" with her (not really, obviously, since is a imaginary character, but you know what I mean). For example, I have played the entire original Mass Effect saga like 100.000 times (or more, I do not exaggerate at all :p ) I have always played as "Female Shepard" and I have never been able to play as "male shepard" more than a couple of hours. Yes, I like the voice of female Shepard a lot, I don´t get tired of seeing her in the screen unlike male Shepard and I find the character more interesting as a woman than as a man.

The problem with a lot of romance and porn games is the cliche that love between women is always soft, gentle, sweet, spongy... It seems that lesbians are unable to be mean, selfish or rude, while men are unable to be tender and are always peeping and being weird and trying to take adventage of women. I´m not talking now about BL or HSCS, just in general. F/F stories tend to be too cheesy and, in M/F stories, men tend to be too selfish and sneaky.

I am enjoying this game. Working on finishing Blooming Love. A complete game is rare. I was not confused when asked to give name. Enjoy the romance f/f or f/m. Actually moving a little faster than expected

That is another reason I'll pick girls over guys in an RPG. In general, I do prefer to listen to female voices rather then male - my youtube playlist is an example of this, probably ~75% female tracks.

As for being less able to relate to a female perspective in adult situations... well, I am a guy. There are undeniable differences between the two, beyond just the different genitalia. There are things about how girls react that guys won't get, and vice versa. Even if there weren't, my family believes that I have at least a touch of Aspergers, and I just don't get a lot of emotional things that other people do.

Still, I am enjoying the game, and you do you. If other people have problems with your game, then they should just suck it up and make their own.

I see pregnacy is a chance in the game but when will it be a probability. And do you know if cheating will be introduced i think itd be great if your partner found out about your sleeping around and broke up with you. And what about anal is there a sexual experience requirement or has that not been implemented yet. I love the game i do wish she was a bit more whoreish and i like the perk tree all in all its a fantastic concept. I just feel like it needs a bit more player choice options like being a good girlfriend/cheating bad girlfriend or a notorious whore. And if that had an effect on your reputation around the school. I know this is a little long winded but since this is in such early development i just see endless possibilities with this game. Like if you were good it would close off certain characters from going any further with their relationship and vise versa. I do feel like across the board this game covers alot of niches. Hopefully it will continue to develope into a cause and affect type game

I'm glad that you're willing to give the game a try, but you're not going to end up liking it this way. It feels like you're just trying to find problems or inconcistencies. All (expect for 2) of the things you mentioned are non-issues in my opinion.

- About the game starting with "BOOTING UP SYSTEMS"... Are you serious? Have you ever see a visual novel that uses a loading screen? If you honestly said there waiting, than you're beyond my help. If it had said "LOADING", sure. But "BOOTING UP SYSTEMS" clearly isn't a loading screen message
- Sure, the spelling errors complaint. Thanks for pointing those out to me
- How the hell is "no underaged students are allowed" not clear? Underaged is not an ambigous term. It's a legal term with a static, defined meaning to it. And how does that not fit in the story? Obviously a school like this would get into huge problems if they allowed students are underaged. How would it look if the school had 14, 15 or 16 year old boys and girls and they'd encourage them to masturbate and fuck? That would look very legally wrong indeed
- The one about how long Michelle and MC have known each other was the most ridiculous of all. The game clearly states that they have met before going to Lilium Academy, AKA they know each other when they arrive at Lilium Academy. The game also clearly state their first meeting wasn't too long ago, so they don't know each other well. There is no unclarity here. You're just assuming things and then thing the game is wrong when it contradicts those assumptions
- The same thing goes for the last one. The opening speech never said the government was paying anything. You just assumed that. And then you complain about that assumption being contradicted by the statement that the parents paid for it. There isn't an inconsistency here, you just assumed wrong. The opening speech didnt imply the government paid for anything. It simply implied the students themselves would not be asked for money

I welcome all forms of critisim, I really do. But these 'issues' can hardly be counted as critisism. I know I might have sounded a bit harsh here, and if so, that wasn't my intention. There are a few good points in them, but I don't like how they are burried in a pile of non-issues.
I'm sorry you found my comments so off-putting. I wasn't bashing your game at all. If I thought the game held no promise I really wouldn't care whether you made any changes or improved it in any way. I certainly wouldn't waste my own time making a few suggestions.

As for the comments themselves, I often laugh when I read other people say things like, "make your main character a boy instead of a girl (or a girl instead of a boy). Remove fetish X, it isn't to my liking." And so on. I'm not trying to change the essence of your game. My notes are somewhat editor of story, and somewhat knowledge of software development/mechanics. Don't change anything that you like how it is, certainly, you're the author and the one that needs to feel happy about your own work. But I'll make one attempt at clarifying/explaining.

Oh, and you had a 2nd response which also included the character naming

- No, I doubt the main character will ever be 'whoreism'. You can however make her as slutty as you want. You decide how often she has sex and how often she masturbates after all. But unlike in Good Girl Gone Bad for example, the player choices in the game are all supposed to feel realisitc fo the main character. She doesn't change due to your player choices, she always had it in her to slutty or a good girl. Then again, I don't know how whoreish you want her to be. There will be things added that make her a bit more sexually open if that's what you want
- I've spoken about this a few times before: Cheating is a big no-no for me. As mentioned in the game, as of now I'm developing the game with the monogamy mode in mind. I know lots of people play on the polygamy mode, but that one clearly states that it is a bit immersion breaking as no one will see you as a cheater. I don't like cheating and I really, really, really don't like writing about it. There are some instances where I can see it eventually being added as a small conversation without concequences (for example, even in the monogamy mode you can fuck Jason despite being in a relationship with someone else). But you certainly won't break up over it as most players will not want that without warning, especially since I've been so outspoken about this to them in the past
- Anal sex is not implemented yet, but is one of the big things I want to add (obviously, because there already are anal stats in the game)
- Pregnancy will be much easier to achieve in future updates. Like Charlotte, Ava and Ella... Jaso and Andrew will eventually get their own sex scenes you can access as many times as you want. So you can pregnant by just continuously fucking them until you're pegnant if you want

Did you install the images that came with the version 0.2a crash? Because the file it's looking for (Solo/25-cucumber.png) is in fact included in the patch. Seems like you might have not installed it correctly

You can enjoy the game while admitting the personality changes of the main character and friends in Good Girl Gone Bad are way too fast and extreme (to a ridiculous degree in my opinion). I'm not saying it's a bad game because of it, but it did lower my opinion of the game a bit. If you still enjoy it a lot, that's fine. I also enjoyed it, but I'm not going to ignore the issues I had with it. It's been a while since I played that game, so maybe things have changed. But I personally never felt like the main character as she was presented at the beginning realistically had it in her go as bad and whoreish as she can in the game. Making those 'bad' choices to me didn't feel like roleplay as the main character. It felt like mind controling her to change who she is. And her friend makes a 100% personality flip in like 2 days. If that's realistic, I must have missed some explanation about some personality disorder she has.

What I meant by that comment though is that this game doesn't feature the personality changing choices like in Good Girl Gone Bad. Everything you can do in this game fits within the personality of the main character and that personality doesn't suddenly change during the game. Personalities obviously aren't a static thing, but they also don't change quickly from day to day
