Just stopping by to wish the dev luck. About to try the game out myself.

And also there are some people in this thread that really need to go touch grass...like urgently. Some of y'all take shit WAAAAAYYYY to seriously.

well - despite the way of storytelling, and also besides the story itself (like for example to philosophize about elven culture right alongside fucking her), it's a bit annoying that there are still new games who can't even use cusomizable main character names. It's really not difficult to code. Being called "Garrett" the whole time really prevents from any immersion (at least for me).
Good luck with your game, but inmho there's a lot which should be changed. Maybe i'll be back sometimes later to see whether there's a change worth to continue.

I can't get past the overlapping use of "brown elven girlfriend" and the term "dark elf."
It is long established, and rather universal, that the term "dark elf" does NOT simply mean tanned/brown/melanin rich skin.
A "dark elf" is a drow, and they do not, and cannot, have brown skin.
Their skin is black--not "black person" black, but BLACK black, like vantablack, like "it absorbs all light entirely" black,
because they are made of shadow, and darkness, and evil.
Sometimes, some blue or purple shading is thrown in to hyperbolically represent how dark black they are. This comes from visual art (and especially comics) where blue/purple is used to clarify that something is uncommonly dark black (usually hair).

In modern times, the reason we persist with this tradition is to make it clear that "dark elves" are NOT just "elves with dark skin," because "dark elves" are traditionally evil, and suggesting that an elf with "human black" skin (i.e. brown) is inherently evil would be considered highly racist.

For the love of god I beg you, DO NOT conflate "brown elves" with "dark elves." The world does not need that shit right now.

Well, first of all, there are as many truths as there are opinions. Because all elves are fiction and there are no facts to support anyone's opinion. We should not forget and ignore the fact that there is more than one source that talks about elves, and if you refer to one and ignore all the others, then this is simply hypocrisy. And secondly, you contradict yourself, the drow have a self-designation and you named it yourself, so if you call an elf with dark skin a dark elf, this will in no way be an omission. And if you specify by skin color, then the drow will be completely black elves, not dark. Not that I was going to argue about this, it's just that your statement is some kind of nonsense.

Bro, it's fiction. If someone want to make orcs as a representation of stereotyped tech savvy Asian people, they can make it with no problem at all (besides people like you, and people way worse than you complaining).

That would be low-key fantastic. I see Bulma, I recognize it's some iteration of Dragon Ball. But I haven't bothered to keep up with anime since Toonami was running episodes of Outlaw Star and Cowboy Bebop.

Bro... You are quite old... And outdated...
Anyway, although there may be more, there are 2 recent works that are specifically about dark elf reverse isekai. They are "Dark Elf no Mori to Nare: Gendai Tensei Sensou", a light novel, and "Chotto dake Ai ga Omoi Dark Elf ga Isekai kara Oikaketekita" ("Yandere Dark Elf: She Chased Me All the Way From Another World!"), a web manga with an upcoming anime.
In this case, you don't lose a point because they are indeed "not the most famous works" and also "not in the most famous format", and personally, I only know about the first one because I searched for it just now, while the second one is because people kept talking about it in yandere communities. But dark elves are not an uncommon race, reverse isekai is not a so uncommon setting, and absurd fantastic situations and weird titles are very common, and so is "power fantasy" and "'OMG! I'm so lucky' fantasy".

Is DEI still a thing in these days?!?
Just checking...

I don't know. My country still has some things about it, which some times end up pretty questionable because of things like "100% white + 100% black = 0% white, 100% black", and some worse, like me being afraid of trying for the "black only" things and ending up facing way too much competition because everyone thought the same thing and the "free for all" part ended up being an easier way to get in (therefore, the real problem here is that it is all simply too confusing).
But what still is a thing, and will always be, is people who prefers a skin color or another, and a race or another. Elves are "attractive" for people because they are different from what they are used to, and people like exotic things. And dark elves are exotic between elves themselves, and it's also mixed with the people's view on real life itself, the view of black/brown people as exotic (since arts, specially country specific ones like anime and higher income requiring one like games, are made by and have mostly people with light skin, darker tones end up being exotic in it), so there will be works that are specifically about this "fetish".
Personally, I don't like it very much, since it risks people seeing people like me as mere sex things, but I defend people's right to like a physical characteristic or another if it doesn't end up real prejudice and only stays in the real of "personal preference" instead "thinks it's really better". But also personally, I'm more into "milky pale white as heck although still mostly human" skin tones (maybe also by being exotic where I live, but I don't know). Sadly, porn sites and alike does have the "pale" tag in some very rare cases, but it is practically inexistent on h-games and h-anime. It's probably a result of the afore mentioned "light skin are more common in this media", so the lightest skin tones doesn't end up as noticeable as the "anything non light" ones.

I know that for everyone as they get older they think, "Kids these days don't know what we had when I was a kid..."

This is one of those things. How many younger anime fans these days know of Lodoss War?

..surprisingly.....i still see tiktok edits of her....and deedlit..
..and lots of ai hentai of them too recently.....
...and lodoss had a game last year....was kinda nice....

You're dating yourself with that one bud lol.

..i like watchin old shit......sometimes....
..to see if the boomers had it better.....

One, I already know.

Two, going to school for animation really kills being able to enjoy sub-par animation (which was damn near everything not Disney or Studio Ghibli circa the early aughts).

Three, Cowboy Bebop is a stone cold classic and will never go out of style.

Well... Learning more about the art I like actually made me enjoy even more the simpler and even the shittier things. Knowing more about cinema, for example, made me also dive in Birdemic and Sharknado, instead of making me stop enjoying blockbusters. Maybe it's to laugh at the defects (the case of the worse ones), maybe it's for enjoying the humble things, but I learnt to like the fact that life isn't only about gourmet food (personally, I think that nothing beats a street burger with a natural juice).
But to each their own...

You cannot unlearn how the sausage is made.

Once you've actually created bespoke hand drawn cell animation yourself, once you know how much work goes into to doing it well, its almost impossible to ignore all of the shortcuts used to get a 24 minute long carton episode out on a shoestring budget. So outside of the few things that I had nostalgia for, generally going back and watching anime made for television from the 80's through the 00's tends to be a trial of patience. No shade to people who were employed to make those shows, but 'quality animation' was not at the tops of literally any studio's 'To Do' list that wasn't doing feature length film.

Go talk to any medical student or law student, see how much they enjoy sitting down and watching medical or law procedural dramas. If they're anything like literally every person I've ever talked to with those backgrounds, they don't enjoy them. Why? Cause the shows get the fundamentals wrong, and it's way harder to ignore such inaccuracies to more you know about the actual subject itself. What I and many others experience is not at all uncommon.

Those both have stood the test of time. The new one will be forgotten in a decade, while people will still recommend Lodoss War and Bastard!! as examples of great stories for decades to come.

Yeah, it is easy. I just didn't realize anyone would want that since this is kinetic so it doesn't have choices. It's not written to work well as a self-insert story.

The Itch.io page downloads have been updated with customizable names. I know you wrote this off, but if you want this, then I'm sure there are others who feel the same but haven't bothered to tell me, so I appreciate the comment.

..aight 1 sec...and ill update thread....
..done...

 

[ThaneShayk]

Wow your comment section got Uber Judgmental real quick... While I agree with some of the things that have been posted, in the end it's just fantasy, hell every game/vn is after all just a way for us to have a break from reality.

Thank You for the time and effort you put into this so that we could have a short break from real life...

 

[Fazed]

Do we have a tag for that?

What do we call it?

'Meme'
'Shitpost'
'Unserious'

...The title alone should have been enough of a tell. Really, its not that serious.

weird. I have the opposite problem. If the MC has my name and does a bunch of stuff I'd never do in a million years, there's no way I can continue that game. That or LIs that have the names of close relatives (I'm lucky that they're uncommon). Because I had to input something with many games, I've taken to naming MCs Sam, because I always liked Samwise, though this does frequently get odd when there's a Samantha in the game as well, where I just go with the basic John or whatever random common name comes to mind. At least the name isn't Garret.
