Alright - my thoughts on this first-part of the "explosive" finale:
You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.
I want to say this update was everything we waited for... but it's not. It's good - don't get me wrong - but some questionable decisions ultimately detracted from the experience too much for me to enjoy it as was most likely intended. I honestly don't know how 1.1 will go after this, and I am wary of the possibilities...

The update was excellent overall and I will forever respect how Lazy Monkey is basically the sole porn game developer out there who actually has something resembling a work ethic and can reliably pump out well animated updates one after the other.

However I agree that scene-making in this update was a hit or miss. Some were great, some were...bad. It's never the animations nor the characters that require amendment, he has been improving steadily and I think his renders and anims are only second to something like Seven Realms, which has a story I do not care for.

But LM tends to fail with build-ups and scenemaking. Love route queen is basically the same as Elin love scene in the previous route. Second time in a row where forcing yourself on someone has a much hotter scene than the love route. I assume it's becuase LM himself finds it hotter and he's just out of ideas for how to do the love route in a way that's plausible.

My advice would be, if LM reads this forum still, try and focus as hard as you can on sweet vanilla crap. Tender holding, kisses and embraces. It needs to differentiate from the other side of the coin.

Thing is, it has been established that MC on the Corruption route is a horny bastard that keeps pushing the Queen to give in. If you follow that path from the start of the game, the build-up for their sex scene in 1.0 is phenomenal.

Got a couple of questions for the folks that played everything up to this point.

Seems to me that the corruption path get much, MUCH better and hotter scenes than the love path with the twin sister, and seemingly with other characters as well. By now, has love path been brought up in the quality/hot/erotic bar across the board, or is it still omega-meh? Last update with the twin sister made me pissed at how different the scenes were.

Have the branching paths converged into just one or two by now? Cause last I played there were way too many branches and possibilities. That's cool in theory and props to the dev for implementing and juggling that many branches, but in practice it just makes the gameplay experience for me very annoying.

Early impressions, the update was pretty great. I won't go too in-depth or spoil anything. Largely because I got 6 other playthrough to get through. I will say that the lust route was peak. Boy am I glad I was working on that playthrough before the update dropped. Easily in my top 3 best scenes. I'll also say I liked the opening of the update a lot. I said I wouldn't spoil it, so I'll just say it was just as nice of a glimpse as the first time we saw ahead. I also like their designs and I'll leave at that.

So for me, so far, the update was great. Also, I'm loving that Arcadia seems to be more present now. Hopefully that's a sign of a future scene, perhaps? I need it. Anyway, it's going to take me a while to get through the rest of my playthroughs though. So there's no telling when I'll give my full thoughts on the update.

Well, at least speaking for Elin and the Queen, their corruption paths are much more erotic and sexual.

Only the ending of the game itself can prove me wrong, but so far, I would confidently state that being on the Queen's corrupted path is clearly a better choice in all aspects - absolutely no benefits for the Love path, unless you really like learning the Elf lore of this game.

Lazy_Monkey - my most sincere compliment to the writing. Seldom has a story been as captivating and left me feeling so shellshocked and helpless - in a good way! - as the revelation there at the end of the recent update. And it escalates with a reasonable and natural cadence too - the closer to the top, the thinner the air gets. Bra-fucking-vo.

Speaking of fucking .. ah, it's just so good and wholesome to help someone close to you when they are sick, isn't it? Always a pleasure to see Mommy dearest :sneaky:
