Just to add holiday merriment to the proceedings: How do you get a witch pregnant? You fuck her! Thank you, thank you! Tip your waitresses and bartenders!
This is a witch joke thread now? Why don't witches wear panties? To better grip the broom!

Maybe she's Eve she has a run in with a serpent!
Anyways, about the game... Time for some tough love baby! Not writing this to be an asshole. Writing this to help you: There is currently very little content. Judging by the tags I thought that there would be more content such as oral sex, and footjob. In the currently released form there is no oral sex or footjobs or any sex of any kind.

I find the tags misleading:

The closest to oral sex in the current version: A quick kiss on the lips
The closest to footjob in the current version: A single render of a female leg on a male lap where the calf makes contact with the penis.
The closest to lesbian in the current version: I didn't even get that vibe at all yet. No female on female kiss or flirting at all.

Such tags should be removed until a future release includes such content. Gotta fix those tags, I checked it out because it had those tags and I thought it had such content. Denied... Tags are NOT for "Future content", but for "Existing content". For the most part anyway. For instance, I didn't mention incest in the tags being erroneously labeled. You can include that if a romantic or sexual interest is a family member, but you haven't fucked them yet if you have started at least some flirting at least which I believe there was.

There was one thing I found particularly off-putting more than anything else about this game. Before you see even a single render after a handful of black screens the text reads: "That was one of the best and worst nights of my life. Maybe the Developer will recreate it for the visual novel if he gets some love from some patrons!"

As a creator myself, I get it dude if you are making your game for money. I can respect that, and it's understandable. I don't find anything wrong with that at all. Good for you. I personally make mine for fun. However, opening like that is REALLY bad to do. You don't even get how bad of an opening that is. If you want that message in there put it at the very end, or have a link in the menu or something. It's like a waitress bringing you the bill before you have had a bite of food. It's an unwritten rule.

Coming out the gates with "I won't include this important scene unless I get some money to do so!" is not a good way to get people to want to give you money. In fact it's probably the absolute WORST way to go about doing that. Especially because you admit you don't have a writer.

To get the most money you have to at least make your audience believe it's not all about money for you.

Beyond that here are some ways you can improve the game:

1) Have choices. In it's current form without a single choice this tech demo is a "Kinetic Novel". That's a tag you didn't include. Gotta put choices or it's kinetic. Because of the phone having relationship meters I believe that it will not be a kinetic novel. Mom only loves you 10 and sis loves you 100 though? How come mom hates you?

2) Writing, you are looking for a writer. Not gonna knock that. You know your limitation. If you do hire a good writer they are likely going to rewrite your entire story if you want to make money. It's unclear what if anything you offer to pay them, and how much creative control you offer them. It would be wise to clarify that with writers if they choose to contact you. It seems as if the girls are already battling to get at your dick willing to throw one another off a boat and drug your fiance. If you make it THAT easy it's likely to draw little support. Very few females are willing to drug a woman so that she can sleep with her brother. She can have a lot of hidden passion there sure, but being so upfront about it is not realistic behavior. Unless you add some sort of sci-fi / fantasy / mind control element or some other real good reason for it I'm not buying it.

3) Text size: At least once in the story your large text size has scooted text to be under the screen because you wrote too much. Gotta either lower the font size, or lower the number of characters in a line. This is more of a renpy flaw than you fucking up to be fair.

4) Render Quality: Something is definitely off about the renders in my opinion, and they could do with some photoshopping or a changing in the Daz settings. Maybe a little too much saturation, and a lack of moisture around the mouth area. No shine on the lips makes them look dry and unappealing. The mom's red cheeks also bad too, way too much blush.

Well, good luck with your game.

Looks interesting enough but if graphics and such are going to be changing and a writer has yet to be found, I think with all of "this" going on I'll wait a bit and see where this goes.

Wow, that was WAY too short. What happened to the times when devs would put their games out when there was at least 30-60min of stuff, instea dof this 5-10min stuff ? Work on the game before you put it up.

I'm guilty of that myself. However, I'm making more content in my next release.

One reason why creators do this is for feedback, which they got.

tags used to label games are either from what is provided by the developer or what is apparent from sample pics, most staff members who create game threads don't have anywhere near the time needed to play all the games so if you can click 'Report' on the OP and describe how the tags are incorrect a staff member will get it fixed as soon as possible

EDIT: already reported them myself but if you find any tags that are erroneous please make sure to report them as well

Since OP is the thread creator they have control of it.

not really, or to be more precise many don't know how to do it and sometimes it's better for a moderator to fix it up. When its a matter of tags is always better to report it since many developers (as is the case here) include tags that are not yet present in the game

Staff is overworked, better if creators do it themself if possible. It's not difficult to do.

Wow, it's in 0.09 already. So it has to have a lot of content, right?
It's the Dev's own personal code.
If the next update is 0.18, then you will likely to have twice as much content as this one.
But really, the Dev could label it anything it wants. Even if it adds almost no content or fixes.

Alright, I gave this a go.

It's extremely short, no sex, the renders are kinda blah, and the text gets cut off at the bottom sometimes.

Obviously, the game (you lose) is still in Beta, so short is OK.

There is no sex, but you do get to see some naked bodies.

I agree that the incest is kinda in your face, but so what? Alabama families need love too.

As short as the game was, it was enjoyable and it had some good humor as well. This is not the worst first attempt that I have ever seen and I can tell the Dev actually has a plot that I find interesting. I think this will become a good game after the Dev adds in the points system and develops it a little bit more.

Hopefully, the next update will be larger with more gameplay.

I will definitely be keeping an eye on this game!

Just gave it a try.
The 4th line of text is cut off at the bottom of the window maybe 2nd text section in. No decisions yet either.
While I'm sure all of us here know where to apply patches, you should still put it somewhere in your game's description.
I'd lose the character portraits next to the text box. They're unnecessary and distracting, and your current models are really ugly, no offense meant.
In your introduction you should be introducing your characters with their images. That way the player knows 'this' character is your friend/sister, and 'that' character is your fiance. You also write that the MC and his friend/sister were close, but you didn't explain how close - so as I was reading on I found myself thinking, "well that escalated quickly."

You say you're looking for a writer, I'm not saying I'm it - just remember the first rule to writing anything is to assume your players/readers know absolutely nothing about your topic, and so you need to spell it out with concise detail. What you can also do is to study other H-games that are actually praised for their stories. Sisterly Love, Daughter for Dessert, My New Roommate, and plenty of others. Currently what you have is a lot like, I Love Daddy, which had things happen fast "because the writer said so" rather than implementing a comparatively convincing narrative.

This is just a personal gripe, I'd like to see a game that utilizes the incest fetish to not include your character's mother and/or aunt. But I do respect that this is your game and you'll implement what you want.

Also, I wrote up a thread in the forums a while ago about implementing pregnancy in H-games that might have a few comments that could be helpful for you.
