So after playing 0.3 i have to say that i don´t see how the new direction works for harem players, especially
the way you handled Nat and the behaviour of the family members. I don´t give spoilers but i will be surprised
if the game rating will stay as it is. And it doesn´t help that players are forced/don´t have a choice if they don´t like this kind of content.

:unsure:

We can have a conversation behind spoiler tags if you want, but I'm not sure what content I forced onto you since you're able to decline all the sex scenes...

If your complaint is that the game isn't a typical dating sim, I'm sorry that the game isn't what you're looking for but I've tried to be pretty upfront that I'm not making that kind of game.

I'm not 100% sure what they're referring to and I'll give them a chance to elaborate so I can more specifically address whatever might be the issue but if you guys want I'll break things down behind big bold spoiler warnings.

I was seriously trying to figure out what they were talking about too.
I've been able to refuse any encounter I didn't want, and even went back to do so for a couple of them, just to see what it would be like.
The only person I've flat out refused was the club girl (Zoe?).

Other than that, I have no idea what they might be talking about that isn't a piece of the core story (meaning that the game might simply not be for them - oh well).

Animations, I can take or leave. When they’re great they add a lot, but I’ve seen plenty of excellent AVNs that don’t have them (or don’t use them heavily) and aren’t the poorer for it. Plus there are horror stories of development grinding down to a crawl because of fuckery regarding animation problems.

On balance I think they’re probably not worth the time and effort.

I spoke to them, and the issue was largely more about how the other characters start to behave in this update. They did note that I didn't give the player a choice about one thing this update which, while not really a sex scene, I suppose might have been a little more objectionable than I realized.

Minor Spoiler -

I'd go back in and offer the player an option to decline but I don't want to bork anyone's save and there's another part of the scene that sort of relies on everything playing out.

I want the game to have some surprises but I don't want to mislead anyone about what type of game it is so in case anyone is not clear, this is not a romance dating sim game.

I don't like the "A Visual Novel" but otherwise chef's kiss.
You know, I've been on the fence about that too. It looked kind of empty without it at first, but once I got it into renpy the textbox at the bottom kind of solves that issue. Minor spoiler ahead

I'm going to try it without the "a visual novel" and see how that looks.

Honestly the emptiness fits with the whole dark desert highway vibe.
