I just played the latest version and I'd say it shows.
I can tell you guys had some decent ideas and you executed them well enough. While I wouldn't call it perfect by any means, I immensely appreciate the amount of attention to detail this game has.
I do of course have few things I disliked, as well. And a few that I even hated.
If I had to write the shortest review about it ever:
I loved how creative the story was. It explored the space theme well enough and made excuses based on that.
I hated how there is only 3 characters to play with in game when you could stand to have at least one or two more and I felt like this was quite limiting. I would have enjoyed it a lot more if there was one more character to mesh with.
I loved how you can mess with the store girl. I didn't expect it to happen and it got a good chuckle out of me.
I hated how all three characters have cow boobs in the game. Just why? It looks more back breakingly ugly and less sexy if anything. A little smaller and more realistic would be better. Bigger isn't better if it is way too big..
I loved the fact you had to figure out what works for each character. Each of t em feel more like a person and less like whatever they actually are this way. Not everything player does work, which is brilliant.
I hated using the drone to get cash. I mean, it sounds brilliant on paper, but I found it to be annoying at best. My main beef with it was the controls. I found them to be mostly confusing. "W" to fire and left mouse button to move? Again, just why? It feels so backwards and confusing. Also the upgrades for it feel worthless. Things you can get from the store you can get are quite limited already (which is another thing I strongly disliked) and by the time I got upgrades for the drone I had already bought everything I could buy from the store which made the drone useless to me. If we at least had some more expensive stuff to buy, it would have been worthwhile.
I loved the fact you could say no at the beginning and game will shut itself down. It was hilarious!
I hated how the game was confused about ranks. Adriana is the captain, but it almost looks like Natasha has a higher rank, even though she is just a pilot. It is already a small ship, Natasha's huge living space doesn't make any sense whatsoever. There should have been at least one more bedroom connected to Natasha's quarters (so it isn't just her living quarters). Her living space and her room is bigger than the captains, which just seems silly overall.
I hated the fact they do exact the same events each day. It is like a purgatory. Captain never does any captain related stuff, pilot never does any pilot related stuff and each day is absolutely the same. It gets boring fast. They all have their workstations, as stated in the beginning of the game, but no one except the player ever goes near their workstation. (And player only goes near his workstation to get extra money) Pilot could sit on the pilot seat and do calibrations and what not sometimes instead of fixing same stuff each day. Captain could look over star charts every now and then. They could have formal space related clothing that they wear while on mission. (Maybe they normally wear it and they only stopped wearing it when ships broke down. This would make a lot more sense. They could be wearing that when player first arrives, up until ship breaks down)
I hated the fact there is no voice acting. What a missed opportunity. This game has potential to be amazing. Even bad voice acting is better than no voice acting.
I loved the dream sequences. I absolutely loved them. I really wish there were more of them.
I disliked all three faces and hair this game has to offer. They look too funny up close. Hair looks low poly and without much effort to hide that fact. Faces aren't very detailed.
I hated how small the ship is. It is simply way too small and one area (storage) is never even used by anyone. If you moved the 3d printer to some other location, this area would never be visited ever. What a waste.
I hated how weird and difficult Natasha is. She appears to be sluttiest of them all, but she is the most difficult character to do it with. Most difficult character to do it with should have been Adriana, since she is married and she is the captain. If anyone should act professionally in the ship, it is her because she is the boss. It would feel a lot more rewarding if everyone acted a little more professionally at the beginning.
I hated the fact you could fill it up to 450 rather easily and nothing happens at all. No one even acknowledges it. It would have been a lot better if that number was 600 instead of 450 and just when you come close to filling it, another accident happens. If you manage to fill it up to 600 after that game should just end. (player should be warned this would happen if you fill it up. Lockdown would be lifted after all.)
I had hoped there would be more positions, more kinky stuff hidden in the game, but no matter what I did, I couldn't find it. A four way should have been a possibility. Also, I found fake pills and scissors, but I couldn't figure out what to do with them. (you use scissors to unscrew something, but they stay in your inventory after that, so I thought there should be more to do, but couldn't figure it out)
Alright, this didn't end up being short, but I really liked this game and I really think it could be a lot better. Please don't abandon it.
Lastly, thanks for reading and sorry for the wall of text. I wasn't able to stop myself.
Why does the game look like this? is some bug.
those point that you see are the girls

Its not big deal most people like me love big boobs and i think people just have my taste alot so its normal to create that but maybe he will consider other people taste and make it option in start of the gameI just played the latest version and I'd say it shows.

I expected to work for sex scenes and that's what I got, i knew full well what i was getting into and I enjoyed finishing it
There is nothing wrong with that. Some like big boobs, some like small, some like them big but not gigantic. We all have tastes.
It is more like a question of, how much is too much.
Your suggestion (if I understand it correctly) would work for me. You could pick the size at the very beginning of the game and boob size and animation would change based on that setting.
I am not saying we should have many sizes mind you, it should be a choice between realistic and huge. That would be more than enough.
Ask yourself this, why do we need a story at all? If I only wanted to watch two characters have sex, I could watch porn instead.
This isn't just a sex simulator, a space sex adventure is its selling point. It only requires bare minimum suspension of disbelief.
Ship isn't an orbiting station. It goes from planet to planet. It is never referred to as an orbiting station and we can see what it looks like from outside, that's not what an orbiting station is.
Warships are generally a lot larger. They house way more people. Imagine real Warships but even bigger. Even if you added 10 or more rooms to the ship we have now, it still woudn't qualify as a warship, but maybe a an small sized carrier.
Lastly, I am not designating her as the captain, she calls herself the captain. Even if it was a civilian ship, which it obviously isn't, captain of the ship still has a higher rank than the pilot.
I firmly believe absolutely nothing I said was unreasonable.

Ship does have both offensive and defensive systems. Mainly the Drones you pilot. In fact, player is called the ships Defender (like a title, rank or a job description), it is players job and main reason to be on the ship.
While it is probably not a military ship, I am not entirely sure if it is a civilian ship either. It is stated that they do have a mission. It is a seeder ship that spreads life seeds or something like that. That sounds more like a government or coorporate owned project. It is definetally not a family owned ship as you put it. They clearly do have jobs and people they answer to. Ship itself locks down if they fail to do their mission. (that's the entire basis of the story) They wouldn't do that to themselves.
Relationship between them (captain and pilot) were never fully explored, but I would hardly call them friends. They don't interact much. (And she isn't a technician, she is just a pilot, this ship lacks a technician for some odd reason. Even the smallest and shittiest ships would have one. I know, because I served on many ships.) They do seem to have a professional relationship. Captain only introduces her as the ships pilot and nothing more.
I do hope for many improvements. I do hope developer adds rooms and extended stories. (I do hope they add a proper technician) Also, it would be great if they added voice acting.
This game deserves to go places.
It is not a shuttle and it is not a mining or research vessel either, it is just a drone. Do you understand the difference between a drone and a shuttle? You can't board a drone. In this setting it is just a remotely controlled weapons platform.
It is clearly stated in game that it is normally used for ships defenses only. Player uses it to mine asteroids, in order to get some cash, probably by breaking the rules.
You can already upgrade the drone and it is already designed to fight any possible threats. That's players entire job as a defender. Player is only on the ship, because the ship might get attacked and someone needs to man the drone. This was explained in the game.
Edit:
Some of my previous posts, I have published a summary of what I personally would like to see with the next expansions of the game.
If you want to take a look, I'd also like to have your opinion on the matter.
Perhaps something interesting may emerge between my ideas and yours.
I will check it out for sure.
Seriously? Dude, did you actually play the game?
It was described as a defensive weapon in game. It clearly say player "can" use it for mining to get cash, but it is not what it is for. I mean, you could use a rifle to crack open nuts, but it is not what a rifle is for. You are going against the descriptions in game and still claim you are right. You can use a drone to attack, this is not even some sci-fi nonsense, we do that with the technology we have.

the drone is a low powered weapons platform to get rid off stray rocks on collision vector and somalia level pirates coming in with shuttles barely better than two bathtubs welded together. what we do in game is collect matter to feed to the printer. to earn money with it, youd need to beam it back home in exchange for funds but if thats possible whats stopping us from calling for help?
I am not confusing anything. You just can't seem to read and write properly. You seem to have difficulty understanding very basic concepts.
What I keep telling you, there is an in game description for the drone and it is clearly described what it is usually used for. You keep referring to it as a shuttle, but there is a huge difference between a drone and a shuttle. You keep refering to the ship as an orbital station, even though it is called a SHIP. You are using these terms as if they are interchangeable, even though they are not. This is not about science fiction, you are failing to understand basic words and what they are used for. A drone is an unmanned vehicle remotely controlled, a shuttle is not. Having played sci-fi games and watching movies doesn't mean jack shit if you can't understand English properly.

now I wanna new ( human and not green) pussies!!The dev said something about the release being pushed into next month April due to some issues with the game. This is according to a preview that I saw from the last Patreon post. Hopefully someone can post the full message in a spoiler.
Yeah update will be out early this month
Hi there people, I had my computer stolen lately, and consequently lost all my saves. Would anyone be kind enough to provide me with a save complete from V5 (just after the pool has been unlocked) ? I would greatly appreciate it...
Thanks in advance
Thanks in advance

Patreon finally accepted one of my payments so I'm ready for V10 brehs (and then it started acting up again when I wanted to subscribe to another dev, luckily Poolside went through)
