Question and comment in the same time : Why showing a ''UI'' at the bottom right ? It's not needed at all. Right click is perfect and can do the job, and a little heart at a corner of the screen to see the points should be enough instead of adding something in the screen that bother the view.

why the controls are fuck top ? I mean instead of all the other porn Ren'py games that you have to press ''S'' to make a screenshot, here, you have to press Shift + S, or having the Caps Lock + S. But if you have the Caps lock, you cannot push anymore the ''H'' key to hide the text and your ''UI''. If you don't push the Caps Lock and press ''S'', you have the Save game interface. What the hell ?

Plus, what the hell that we need to go clicking on a button in the screen to go back or forward ? Mouse wheel was not too easy and sufficient ? Keep it simple. Don't invent a new recipe for nothing. It's really bothering. 6520985209 porn games work very well in that way, and people like that.

Sorry to give some bad criticism, but the MC is unlikable, dumb and selfish, furthermore the writing is bad.

Too much infodumping at once and the way the MC talks to himself and/or his own brain is cringe-worthy and this (talking to himself) happens too much.

I would suggest getting some creative writing classes or some help with the writing from an established (VN) writer.

Pretty nice renders though, good luck and don't give up.


p.s. All above is my personal opinion, nothing more.

All opinions are welcome even the ones I might disagree with. They all help in the long run.

Okay, here's a thing.
I think the new sex system doesn't work at all.
Why the bluescreen? why not simply show the choices over whatever animation is running atm?
Also, an animation without any accompanying text does almost nothing for me. If I play a VN I expect there to be a description of what's happening, if I just want some porn animation there's probably millions of those online.
Give me a story, something erotic to complete the animations.
A very good example for sex scenes that are erotic and combine animations with regular pictures are phillygames VNs.
I'm not saying everyone is masturbating to these games, but let's be honest many of those here want to do exactly that and as it is now, with a blueshadow over always the same picture followed by a short animation without any accompanying erotic text, I see no way this could happen.

I really can't stretch this enough how weird that scene seems to me, compared to the quality of the rest of your game and writing.


Edited to add: So, was this first scene a bug or something, or a trial, because the masturbation fantasy was more like what's to be expected?

So the 3 girls that are staying have now been revealed can't wait to see what will happen next especially with Cassie and Megan it seems the fuse has already been lit for those two hating each other, helping Charlotte with her shyness is going to be fun as well already small signs of her coming out of her shell, not bad so far still early in development so will give this one time to see where it goes.

You never played the original Unity version?

Can't say that I have no this is the first time I've played this one wasn't aware that it was originally on Unity.
Ah, I was wondering, because the story isn't really that different so far, so you'd know some of what's in store with the girls.
The Unity version suffered from leaps in quality of the renders for each update (so that the differences between the first chapter and the second alone were really jarring to see)+ the usual Unity quirks, due to that I understood the need for a reboot very well.

I must have been playing a different game then or my eyes must suck.
I found the original unity renders to be much better quality than this version. That could be down to the really obnoxious blue filter at times but also the backgrounds being nowhere near what they were prior and you can tell that the model quality has dropped off a cliff.

Just played it for the first time (no Unity version for me either) and liked it. Was pretty fun.

One thing though, is it just me or do the three roomies look a lot older than college kids? Don't get me wrong, I like a more mature look fine, just that if someone were to walk in on this:

One would think it was a group of three friends rather than one being approx. 20 years older than the other two.

Regardless, looking forward to the continuation of the story.

PS. Also wouldn't mind seeing an MC Dom/F.Sub stat pop-up for the bitchy one in future :p

Hello,

I just finished the current version of House of Seduction.
The only character I hate in this game is the MC himself. He is too childish. Almost all his thought sound like a 14yo boy who has just discovered masturbation and women.
I thought Elaine/mom behaviour was harsh toward him but now, I undertood why.
I suppose the Dev wanted to make him " funny " but it's just heavy.

Too bad.

Hello, everyone! It's been a while since we've posted anything here, so we thought we'd give you a quick update on what's happening here at Horny Hydra Games. First, work is ongoing with Version 1 Part 2 of House of Seduction. Our aim is to release this update as soon as possible, but we cannot provide a projected release date. We've missed dates in the past, and don't want to give any false hopes this time around. Just rest assured we'll get it out to you as soon as we can.

The main thing we wanted to do in this update was to improve the quality of the images. Not that we thought they were bad in the last update, but they were very static. This time around we are trying to add more visual appeal, like better facial expressions, and better posing. Please let us know what you think when you see them.

And one last thing: because we have almost finished writing the script for House of Seduction, we have begun working on a side project. All we are going to say at this point is that it is a complete game, and if it proves popular we will write more, and turn it into a series. Please don't take this to mean we are giving up on HoS, we are not. We are just bored writers, and need something to do between HoS updates.

That's not any better.
Either it's "Were you just checking" or it's "We're just checking" - Without context i don't which you're aiming for to be correct. Either way the correction of the incorrect grammar also had an error.
You are right, I will amend it but keep this as showing I was wrong.
