I think he captured it well:



I can picture the meeting quite well:

>Ok, guys, I know we have no money, and only 2 bottles of lube left, but I have the perfect plan to turn this ship around! Have you guys seen how well HoneySelect sold?

>>Guy yells from the back: HoneySelect 3?! :O

>No. You have to thing bigger. The second best selling one was Koikatsu.

>>The second guy in the group: Koikatsu 2 (actually this time)?! :O

>NO! Think bigger! theatrically claps hands We merge them! We combine HoneySelect and Koikatsu into a whole new game!

One guy gasps, the other flat out faints in awe. This is how HoneyCome was born. An afternoon later it was announced, two weeks later shipped and failed to meet any expectations.
That image is funny as hell and it is incredibly likely that that is exactly what happened here, unfortunately. Idk what it is about porn that brings the absolute worst out of these dev teams. They might not have had these problems if they weren't charging obscene amounts for their games and expansions, basically begging for sites like this one to post their content instead. I mean, look at Koikatsu, $60 for a character creator and another $55 for the actual game. And they never go on sale. That had to have severely crippled their total sales. I'm still hoping there is more for this game, even if it's just mods/plugins because they actually did a really good job cleaning it up, making the models actually look good and fixing their lighting and shading.

It is a temporary solution but is it possible to just swap out the dildo (Item) with the actual dick of the male character? Replacing that instead of this lifeless meat-stick without texture lmao

That being said, this one does have something RG lacked, it's Anime styled, and anime peeps have a tendency to be tenacious as all hell, so may work something out, but it's going to take a while before any of that has a chance to happen. Question is, will the interest last that long?
In fact, it may be the key to this game moving forward.

HoneyCome will likely sell on Steam, as fans have been asking for the release of Sunshine for months and it never came up. So on this side ILLG will surely win.

On the other hand, the fact that it is anime style will make the community larger than that of Room Girl. And when the word spreads that it's Koikatsu but with better graphics...

The only thing that can ruin this is ILLG removing the modders effort. It doesn't matter how long it takes them to modify, but rather if ILLG gives them a kick.

You forgot the part about:

>What if we announced the withdrawal of our best-selling titles from the market so that everyone would buy them en masse for 3 months?

>Perfect! And remember to leave the Steam version only! We will pretend that we won't know how to remove it from that platform and that they continue buying.

I'd kill for an modern day graphical version of AA2, but with all the same mod support. Koikatsu just isn't anywhere near there.

very true, i miss a lot of yandere chasing and kill me, imagine that HD with koikatsu model.

i mean 3 step personality development from innocent to i love you then final step she will kill you, only in AA2.

or make it 4 step that totally friendzone you or break up but still doing the thing.

so immersive.

What's up with the room next to the desk in the lobby? Half the time I go in there there are 1 or 2 girls that aren't any of the ones I actually added to the group or even have cards for. I even went through the game files to see if maybe they were other characters somewhere else like how the receptionist's card is and found nothing. Odd because they can't just be totally random since I've gotten the same one with the same name in there more than once. lol

I must admit I was pretty sure... no, actually I had some hopes, "NewIllusion" will provide better tool with Koikatsu-Style. A bit of surprise... when reading this thread only once Studio been mentioned... because there is not Studio at all (as I understood).
I absolutely adore KK & KKS as a tool for making graphics and must admit it's quite convenient "Manga maker", but always had some issues, shadows, lights etc. Sure, there was a work around, for example how to replace hairless and nude shadows, calculate shadows or even replacing original water.
KK & KKS at this point, as a bundle is a powerful toy. I never played much in any Illusion games, and focus on creation literally. If HC will have a chance to shine, like KK(S)'s did it will take years to achieve rich content and possibilities. But if NewIllusion will decide never release a Studio of any sort, it will be worst product ever (IMHO).

I never really played the games much either, but have hundreds (maybe thousands?) of hours messing around with the studios over the past decade. Which for this game I feel will turn out pretty good, because the new facial expressions look much better than in KK. The updated body structure for both guys and girls look better as well. New maps also look to be redone in a more anime style compared to what they had in KK. The illgames website already mentions that "create studio" will be coming, though with no ETA.

People don't realize that they had a tiny budget for this game and that the game development nowadays is much more costly than it was in AA2 times(+ they are an official company and not just an indie collective so they have to pay taxes and do other legal stuff). IMHO we should appreciate that they managed to release at least something and nailed the optimization. It would be a big loss if they completely shut down. I hope they gonna add more assets with new dlcs and ain't gonna mess with the game code to ruin mod development.

That's actually not true. Game developement has never been as cheap and easy as it is now. You can just buy assets for a fraction of the money it would have cost you years ago to do them yourself. Entire game features can be bought pre-done on asset stores. Top level engines are completely free, until you actually make money, no more spending weeks or month with some low-level graphics frameworks to get some basic shapes to render. Not to mention physics, sounds, animate, etc.

Not to mention that Illusion/Illgames have a whole catalogue of previous games where they can build upon. They don't have to write that character editor from scatch. They just copy it and improve where they see need for improvement.

Unless the code was lost in some actual fire, or something, they should still have the AA2 code laying around. Probably old, outdated, and broken. But they can still take that code, port it to Unity, and update it for a fraction of the effort it would be to write it anew.

I can easily agree it could be improvement in look, expression or even model complexity. However manga / anime style used in KK/KKS is more forgiving than in any other semi-realistic games. Instead of modeling face, making character for example angry, we may use some emoticons with fire and replace eyes. It would work.
I can't say anything about maps at this point, as I only tested demo version for about one hour or so. Now, I'm on my holiday and most probably I will test full release of HC at the end of this month. In modded version of KK/KKS it was a huge library of maps, official and non-official, more or less realistic and thousands of scenes, where some of them could be considered as maps (not for playing, just for creations).
With full version of this game, there is only promise of Studio, but if there will be no modded content, no matter how perfect / beautiful maps will be, or how many object we may have, comparing to rich content of KK&KKS HC will loose. If for some reason modding will be too hard, or even not entirely possible, it will be another title easily forgotten.
I understand for many "this is a game", but for some this is a tool, helping with creation and game is barely existing.
