Issue is the dev just keeps throwing in a mix match of completely unnrelated (or appears to be the case) ideas in regularly and often. Basic premise was your tossed into a town and you have to bang everyone and thus your introduced to a plethora of barely developed girls which whom weve no connection and barely any threads of story to invest in them.
At the start there appeared to be a basic plan in place with a surrogate family (but theyve barely featured since) with antagonist family related to said surrogate family. You were introduced to many more including the church nuns (most have barely been developed or featured), the army family (who despite even fucking one of them have not featured since) and the cheerleader family who even said theyve got a show lined up for you (which weve STILL not seen) and the asian doctor family who have still to be developed.
It felt IMO maybe the dev was adding all the pieces at once and would work up from there... then out of nowhere we got sidetracked into a cult story with a wayward god seeking to escape which of course sidelined 90% of all these previously introduced cast. It is kinda resolved now yet weve yet to even see how the girl we freed from possession has been doing since in any of the subsequent updates or indeed most of her family. Meanwhile we get the MCs family introduced (like almost all females from it) and theyre outside of the mom never since (why add them then?) before pivoting to adding in the ex gf for another concurrent arc and needer or screentime to then add in ROY the very next update. Barely any one can find cohesion in this, no one knows where the story is going, no one knows or are invested in most of the cast (so sex offers little pay off with no build up) and adding in yet another character who wont even add in a sex scene for a feeble fap is overkill to a killed premise.
The story is a rudderless and most want it back on track. The memory section has been neglected for almost every update so is not only outdated but still broken and yet its supposed to be our main tool to keep track of a cacophony of names as the plot sure as hell aint doing that. I liked this game so much i was a backer for a while, now? I barely can justify to myself why i even play it. Roy got more development in a single update than the overwhelming majority of the characters who are supposed to be love interests and whilst we can at least thank him for leading up to a sex scene it was an unanimated one. I think people are at odds with the game and its direction more so than the character in himself.
Firstly let me say, I understand your frustration.
I have been all over the place with characters, adding them in for later down the line. That may have been a mistake but I didn't want to add them just before they were needed and then it felt forced or contrived. I wanted the player to meet them get used to them before the story called for them. The characters I need are done for the moment. So no new introductions for a while now...except for one...but that will be all and she is purely story based and will only be around a short while.
I want the atmosphere to feel like the women are getting on with their lives and the MC pops into their lives as and when, instead of having it feel like they are on the side lines waiting for him to show up. This may have let me be comfortable not adding someone in for a while, thinking oh they are fine doing what they are doing.
I think you are right, i do need to be more careful and plan some sort of system to bring people in and out regularly and comfortably
The cheerleader event has caused me no end of problems. Similarly a large scale nun event I had planned. Every time I have multiple characters in a single scene my program crashes. So I still want to do them but will get to them when I can.
The Doctor family is the ones I have had several characters saves file corrupt on me so that's why I have shirked away from them instead of solving the problem. I ill try to get that sorted so they can get a comeback.
The army family I have a story planned soon.
Sally and her family and the results of Nyx's shenanigans are coming in the next update.
that is all I can say, I do get why it feels all over the place with the new characters, but i ask that you bear with me and give it a little more time. I think you will enjoy what is coming up.
I will get on the memory tool problems, my dev partner does all the coding sections of the VN, so will get him to sort it.
