Calm your ( big ) tits. I've just been baited by the sexy:
I don't always pay close attention to such nuances. Have fun man, I have nothing against this game.
Anyone remember the original, in-game method of getting to the broken watch ending?
Edit: I found one method of doing it. You have to not get hypnotized earlier: 'meeting up with brittany' and then 'refusing to watch the video.' And then you just have to 'cut off' Laura when she starts speaking to you in the gymnasium, at which point she destroys it.
If you get hypnotized, and then recover the watch, you will temporarily beat her, and so she is more careful, approaches from a balcony with ear plugs, and the watch doesn't get destroyed.
Very convoluted!

Oh ok, I don't think I've even come across that storyline! I've only recently met her Korean sister.

"If you don't like it, don't play it or say anything about it ever" What a fantastic argument for why we should all remain giant ignoramuses who have on-track minds. Yeah, why should anyone offer potentially valid criticism or an alternative viewpoint when I obviously know my own opinion and/or the opinions which align with mine are correct
Did you even pay attention in academia or was it just parties and shots all day or something?

This is a VN? I thought a VN meant one storyline with/without choices that only effected dialog. A Visual Novel. This game looks like it has multiple storylines with choices that will put you down one of the storylines. Does that not make it a sandbox? Do I have my definitions of VN and sandbox wrong? I wish games with multiple endings or 'bad endings' would be set up to (at the end of the 'bad ending') say "Bad ending, stupid!" then say "This is where you made your mistake. Try again, dumbass!" then the game moves you to the point where you made the mistake. Games that end at a 'bad ending' (for me) usually get deleted then 'ignored' unless the story is THAT good (most are not). I will not save a game at every decision.

You are thinking of a "Kinetic Novel." Those have a set story with no alternatives which you simply view at your pace. Visual Novel (VN) is mostly referring to this medium of visuals and text based story games. (Most Kinetic Novels are Visual Novels). The term "Sandbox" is a bit more open-ended, but I would not classify Hypnosis as a sandbox. A sandbox necessitates a form of "freedom of movement" which allows a user the ability to make choices and decisions at their own discretion such as exploring areas or choosing the order of events. Visual novels with just branching story lines doesn't count as a sandbox in my opinion, and would require a form of simulation or maintained state transformation to become sandboxes.
Sure! In fairness, the broken watch path was supposed to be a sort of side ending, so I'm hoping that the still-in-development main path will eventually include an option for at least similar tittitude. (Judging from the recent pace of development I may be waiting for...a while.) And of course there are those who (understandably) think that the specific kink of this game is or ought to be hypnosis...
Anyway, you might like Cabin by the Lake or White Russian while you wait for the next update.

I'm not sure why devs continue to add multiple endings to games. Even with a normal VN there's usually just one ending or a continuation of the story when a recent update is added. Plus, it's probably a lot of extra work and the amount of time they have to take to add all the images with the coding required. Having to play multiple times just to see all the content can get very annoying especially if the game has been in development for a while.

You know what? you're right, but you're still "defending" someone who is complaining rather than giving "good criticism"(air quoted because every comment can be considered criticism, and yes it's my opinion that some criticism is good and some is bad, i'm not a judge or a supreme ruler, spare me this "it's your opinion, so it's not a fact"-speech) and he complains about a radical part of the game, ultimately i don't have the power to change the dev's mind on what to make or add into the game.
I think the exploring/varying what you play is valid but at the same time i believe once you reach a certain age you've a certain idea of what you like, i have such age and know myself enough that i will never like something, so i avoid such things, either Food, Clothes,VN-tags, types of personalities. I can learn about them out of mere curiosity but that doesn't make them more likeable in my eyes.
While your points are valid, you're explaining them in an attempt to defend someone who stated(and implied) to dislike big boobs in a game about girls getting bigger boobs...i don't wanna drop judgements but...it sounds stupid to me, not you defending him(or her) but his comment alone, but go figure i'm just someone questioning that guy's presence in a thread about something he doesn't seem to like too much.... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I tried Cabin by the Lake a few years ago, and unfortunately found it to be sort of crudely made and buggy. I might take another look at it. I haven't tried White Russian since around then either, but I did notice that it had an update recently, so I could give it another go. I never got too deep into that one, but I love not only the transformation but the lactation kink.

Hell nah dude. VN >>> kinetic novel >>> sandbox >>> kinetic novel sandbox. Having meaningful choices and multiple endings makes stories more immersive. Maybe kinetic novels are better if you're just lookin to jerk off?
While you have a point about being open to things, keep in mind genre exists and we humans rarely like to see it subverted.
Ive found this is even more prevalent in porn. People might find something novel and discover a new fetish or kink, but in general they know what they want and they get pissed if they don't get it.
To be blunt, the only reason we are having this discussion is because you DON'T want such ridiculous proportions for your women. So it's definitely more egregious for you to want the dev to cater to your tastes than his, since they align with the creators vision.
You're right, having choices and multiple routes is good, but realistically people don't have the budget for it unless you're a million dollar japanese company making Fate/Stay Night. Any time these indie porn vns have routes you're spending dev time on content that 90% of the players don't see, and that just feels really bad and wasteful. What realistically happens is fake choices and point collection to unlock endings. I'd rather not waste time going back and retrying different choices only to realize that the other "route" is 99% identical. Honesty is preferable.
However, if a dev team actually has the budget to essentially make like 4 games in 1, then all the more power to them and I would love that.
We all like what we like. I very, very strongly prefer a sandbox format. Having choices that change how things go can be a nice bonus, but what I want more than anything is control over the pacing, and the ability to choose who I see and what I do next. Even if the content is always going to be exactly the same in the end, the control over that process makes it so, so much better for me. And then the great ones also have character cards that update as you go along, so that you can see how you're progressing with each of the potential sex partners along the way, and ideally go back and repeat sex scenes with them.
A one directional, narrative VN is at the bottom of my list of formats, because without any of that control, I honestly start to forget what's happening, and have less of an idea of who the characters are.
