First post at these forums, I registered some days ago just for this game
Again and again I noticed the complaining that the game is not as someone is expecting, there's not enough hardcore content blablabla...well, its currently a free and completely playable (well, early beta) game - no one has to play it, or am I wrong?
I'm not sure if I'm able to imagine the WORK behind this, but it is huge - and with the developer change I read about some posts ago, the complainers obviously accuse the wrong people here. JoeBanks, you and your team do a great job!
I have to say this game really addicted me, although the "grinding" is indeed real. I put a lot of hours in the game to advance to Chapter 5, but well - I really enjoyed the progress. Really! After lots of trying, you indeed see new content, and if its only a nipple ^^ You advance in the game...
The artwork is so great, that's worth it for me. I really hate all those 3D games, where the characters look weird and its basically everything the same - you gotta search where to click and so on.
The Hogwarts scenario still has a lot of potencial and I'm sure I'll enjoy future updates as well.
Starting in Chapter 5 with a provided savegame is fair enough, although its kinda annoying that old savegames are not compatible - but I understand why.
The most annoying thing *for me* was the walkthrough, cause it's still missing basic actions you have to guess - and I don't mean the text behind the black bars, which can be removed by marking the complete text. There's just missing things, like for example "talk to little Sally first" or something like that. Made me really angry sometimes
But thats complaining on a high level.
My comment on the "rape" scene, realized by the former team: as someone said, it comes out of nowhere, but I liked it. Maybe there is a possibility in the future where this part can be cut and pasted in a later part of the game. As we all now in the search for underwear and bathing suits, McGonagall wants the D really hard - probably there will be a shower sex scene or something in the future. That "rape" scene can be put on a later part in the game, which would make more sense. Otherwise I can't complain about it, nice artwork as always...
(Btw I had the stress bar on fully green but made something wrong and never reached that status again - had removed her wand, but she had it again afterwards, and I wasn't able to remove it again from her...)
Short version of my posting: Keep up the good work!
