Another Kinect Novel, unless he's planning to add choices/branches down the road...nice renders though, scene transition is kinda slow i thought my PC was stuck for a moment lol
lolAm I the only one confused about the t-shirt Gina's wearing? It's one of Ethan's t-shirts, so why does it look as if it was modified for boobs? does a t-shirt like that even exist?
I Played his previous game EL and absolutely fell in love with it. and im curious if you think i should give this version a try or if i should hold off and wait for more content? i glanced through the pages but i didnt see anyone mention anything about how much content is on this version so far, so im not entirely sure if i should hold off a bit or jump right in.I played both Dancer and A Lustrous stage and His Legacy, and I really enjoyed them.
Putting up a new story with characters already known it's not easy at all, but you've done a wonderful job.
The lack of choices is not a problem for me and about the pauses, they give you the idea of the pace that each scene has.
I can't wait to see what you have in store for the others (especially Clara and Violet), and I have to say that, compared to the initial episodes of EL, these ones are more engaging.
Lastly, the renders are amazing and your storytelling is really something that we don't see everyday in these games.
Keep up the good work @V3X and thank you!
In my opinion, putting both episodes together, there is enough content to get you an idea.I Played his previous game EL and absolutely fell in love with it. and im curious if you think i should give this version a try or if i should hold off and wait for more content? i glanced through the pages but i didnt see anyone mention anything about how much content is on this version so far, so im not entirely sure if i should hold off a bit or jump right in.
I was missing your VNs so much, It's really good to have you back, Your story telling is something else i've been falling in love with these new Titles, Reworks or whatever you called it.First of all, again, I apologise for putting such long pauses in-between scenes. I was experimenting with combining ambience and SFX with the majority of the scenes, and I felt that some level of pause is needed to make sure that it transitioned correctly. With no pause, some of the transitions didn't feel right(Sudden changes in ambience will be strange), and I extended the pauses due to that. I won't remove the pauses completely in the future, but all of those will be skip-able via a left click.
My work had always been very divisive for the people who have experienced it. Everyone had their own tastes and expectations of what an adult game should be, and I think mine happened to sit on a very specific niche that it's either you liked it, or you hated it. And it's completely fair for either of those group. I don't think it's fair to blame anyone on each side, and it's best to simply choose what you want to do with my game on your own will.
My main goal of this project is to tell a story about Ethan's life, the dangers he faced, and the people he fell in love with. It's clear and simple. If I feel that a sex scene is needed to emphasize their relationships, or to set up what a character's motivations are, I'll do just that. But I won't do sex scenes just because it's an adult game. I find that doing so cheapens the character's relationships, making sex as a reward, a goal, not as a tool to deepen each character's feelings towards each other. It makes each character a sexual being, instead of someone you consider as a good company.
I wanted to do this with the original Ethan's legacy, but I was inexperienced and nervous about making something that might not sit well with some people. The moment people said "Hey, where are the sex scenes?", I immediately panicked and put one on in the next release, at the cost of my original goal. I knew better now, but I didn't before.
Now, I didn't say that I was good at it. I'm just someone who tried to do what I set out to achieve, and whether it's good or not is up for you to decide. I'm also not saying that people who wanted sex are bad people, it's just a matter of taste.
If you're willing to put up with some of my quirks of storytelling, then it might be a good experience for you. If you're not, then it's completely fine.
In regards to the "incest" part, I don't think Gina's sole interest in Ethan's legacy is to be your loving sister. She's likeable because she's Gina, not because she's your sister. She's clingy, jealous, and can be annoying with her constant pestering at times, but she's incredibly loyal and loved you more than anything else in the world. She's not perfect, but those flaws made her charming and endearing. It's just that in Ethan's legacy, this character happened to be your sister. That's all there is to it.
It's my failure if I failed to make that point across, not the fault of the story or patreon, for that matter.
Thanks for your feedback, it's a quick wake up call to me that the pauses are too much to handle.
Edit :
This game, in exception to the characters, had nothing to do with EL. It takes inspiration from it, but that's about it.
Well, hard to believe that the gina really believes in the mc IF I reau not the should go back to her adam she had the same data and probably also equal fuckedMaybe I've made a mistake of not telling players what happened between Gina and Ethan clearly enough, or perhaps it's a huge misunderstanding when reading the text lines, I'm fine with people disliking what I've made, you have your own opinions and ideas, but I think it's important to resolve misunderstandings like this.
Gina believed Ethan, actually she's the only one who believed strongly in him. The pressure from her parents, friends and the people she knew when she was defending him made her depressed, and eventually Ethan decided that she shouldn't seek him out anymore for her own good. The reason Gina was really sorry was because she wasn't strong enough to say no and continued being by your side.
Perhaps it's my lack of proficiency in english that caused this, or maybe I've told it in a way that made it very difficult to be understood, but regardless, I just wanted to make it clear what happened.
