Yup to first. :)

For the second, well if there are no real options around as someone that is related to you in five or six ways if go back a generation or 3, then inbreeding becomes a necessity instead of a fetish. :p Also remember that it was kind of important for the overwhelming majority of the working poor to marry of daughters pretty young since they were a drain on the family and also the boys tended to work from very early age and there is no time to wait for fresh blood to appear. Added to that people tended to die pretty young and for women childbearing was cause number one. Those times were not great if you did not belong to the elite. :p

Yeah, you're right, especially when you think about what you said about small villages, and how people weren't usually well traveled. Although then again, almost any time it's not good if you don't belong to the elite hahaha ha ha ha ha.

here is little history lesson, about denmark, not something you learn in school, its well covered up for some reason.
anyways, more than 100 years ago, if you owed money to someone and could not pay back, the standard was to marry your son or daughter to the person who you owed money too, resulted in many child-adult marriages.
exsample, you marry your 10yeard old son/daughter to a 30-50 yeared old woman/man.
I was thinking, oh that's interesting, and then you hit me in the face with child marriage hahaha.

Just for your information Kingmaker is the name of a board game by Avalon Hill dealing with the war of the roses (c 1970's). Yea, I know I'm showing my age 8<. Game looks interesting so I will give it a try.

Maybe so, but it's also good cause it never crossed my mind that such a veteran would take interest.

There's a game called Pathfinder Kingmaker or something as well. But even tho I suck at naming things I actually thought this one was so fitting that I went ahead anyway. But yeah, I might need to add something to differentiate between all of those.

Opinions are opinions, it is ok to not agree with me.

My gut feeling is that this feels like a game with with porn in it and not a porn game. That is fine, but the game so far isn't fun for me. Nor have I seen any porn but one scene from a random event. Obviously I'm not enjoying this.

Maybe it is me, but all these choices about background stuff get in the way. This is not DnD... I like the making choices about running the kingdom part, but then doing 2 actions after feels like the gameplay of a dating sim, except that there are 12 stats and not 3 and we as players have no idea whats stats we need to work on. There are to many options and it feels overwhelming. I highly suggest pruning the stats, you don't need all of them, pick 3 or 4.

So is there a story? I remember random events each day then the 2 actions of 27 options.

Art is ok at best. I like that it's not bad CGI but it reads as amuture. There are also isn't many art for sex scenes. I feel for a porn game we need more sex.

TLDR: Remove the paths in the intro, Having 27 options to do after court is WAY to many. Art is ok but we need straight up more.

Thank you for taking the time for writing all of that!

It is true that I set out to do a game with porn rather than just a porn game, which is modeled according to games that I like which are already niche. But I've been thinking on creating an easy mode, which might entail simplifying stuff or straight up culling mechanics.

There's is a story up to week 20 and 3 sex scenes. I'll add more in subsequent builds.

Now, I love DnD, but I get what you say. I really would need to mull over about if I should simplify the stats, and if I do what exactly. Maybe merge them on the easy mode. But I really need to make more clear which skills are the most important, which at least at the beginning should be the ones that have to do with governing on the left side.

With the art sadly I really can't do much. It really is amateur hour over here and I don't have the money to hire someone, not even by commission. And I also don't like 3D art either, but even if I did I really wouldn't know how to go about it.

Removing the paths is something that I really wouldn't do since it's suppose to make the game easier by increasing the skills at the beginning of the game.

Anyhow, I'll take your criticism to heart. Thanks!
