I'm not thinking of adding one of those tags at this moment. What might happen in the future is a complete surprise. Thanks for your comment!
Hmm...posting that limited loaded comment will definitely create a lot of hesitation with many potential fans within the community. Most players would like to know IN-advanced what types of kink content a new title will have, or not have with regards to most of the highly controversial content (NTR, cucking, sharing, netorare, MMF, rape, etc.). And especially if the content will be present, will it be avoidable, and not just skipped...as skipping means the acts will still happen off camera to a love interest.

Most of the successful new projects, have made an effort to clearly post their future tags, and as well what types content their title will never have...by adding this information within the gene section of their main project post. That vague reply... "it might be a surprise later", will create a lot of distrust and hesitation that could place your project into a negative light among many potential fans...and ultimately affect the size of your fan base. Even though not all will become your financial supporters, gaining a huge growing pool of fans...can increases the potential to secure more financial support for your projects future. As well, most players don't like seeing controversial content being suddenly added into a project, if they have not been made aware before taking the journey into your evolving story.

Also, FYI.... that young sickly looking dude with the semi long hair (skinny guy in the images posted) was already used recently by a few other dev's, which actually didn't go over very well within the community. Something to consider.

Anyways, best of luck on your future endeavor. Best Regards.

And there again goes a dev with a promising start, upsetting and scaring away potentional subscribers by thinking "a big surprise" is a benefit.
90% of such cases, developers added certain tags LATER on, and screwed up. Honest tip: Be honest and open right from the start - that will eventually grant you supporters. Stay "mysterious" and you will suck in binding patreons. NO ONE really NO ONE would buy "the cat in the bag" without knowing what to expect in future.

Good luck driving this potentional good game against the wall even before it really had a chance to start.

You're not wrong. I hated that hair instantly. Anime protagonist hair does NOT translate to DAZ, hell, it looks stupid enough in anime. Though it's leaps and bounds ahead of that godawful pompadour shit that's been infesting games the last few years. Leave that garbage in the 50's where it belongs.

The translation is really poor so much so that some of the sentences are a bit hard to understand. Other then that the plot setup stands out from your normal dad is gone/dead and I live with sis and mom so that is a plus, could be a good game if the translation is fixed.

Was going to say the same thing but you pretty much nailed it. It's one of those bad habits Devs tend to do when starting out.

When do the Titans appear and which ones will be there? I see Graphic Violence is tagged, will they be devouring LIs?

I like the setting and the premise but the english is bad to the point it mixes her with him.

That said, the dialogues seem good enough and the story is eniticing enough.

As someone already pointed out, I would redo the MC model because that one really ruins the immersion.

Also, first get an idea of where do you want this story to go and what kinks you would like to explore because this is importanto to give the project an identity right away and attract a specific crowd.

I gave it a shot, but.... to be honest, between the engrish (which was strooonnngggg in this one) and the amateurish Daz work, I couldn't get into it. Results like this are why I don't design characters in DAZ, even though I do have it on my system. The girls are cute, sure, but the male models are *so* bad that it ruins the scenes entirely. Yes, as others have mentioned the MC is pretty much a no-go. But others are even worse. Like that servant dude, the blonde girl's dad -- he looks like his face is constantly trying to melt right off. Facial morph gone horribly wrong. Granted, I'm not playing these games for the males, but when they're THAT bad I can't stand to look at them long enough to get past their scenes to the girls. The facial expressions on all the models are about what you get with DAZ clones from new devs: The Joker on crack, completely unrealistic.
I won't post an actual review on this one, because I don't think it's fair to the dev to review an 0.1 release from a brand-new developer. They usually improve over time, if they don't flame out and disappear. In this case though, unless the renders improve dramatically I won't be playing the later releases. Best of luck to you, KarmaStudio, and I do mean that. I hope you take these early results to heart and turn into a top-quality dev. I'll try to look back in on this in a year or so and see how it looks then. Take care!

Yes I agree you should come clean if you are going to add any of the above fetishes, NTR, Swinging, etc.... no-one will thank you by adding them later as a surprise.
Also please get the English fixed up - the gender in your sentences is wrong in many cases - him refers to male, her refers to female etc....

Feel bad putting down an indie creator's work where so much effort has been spent, but the story doesn't work for me. Granted, I'm not generally looking for grimdark anything in porn games, so I'm already biased. But all the dark stuff comes off pretty comical so far, like a combination of Black Adder moustache-twirling and B-movie ridiculousness. Plus, the flow seems kind of loose, like jumping from one disconnected setpiece to another. Translation being sub-par probably doesn't help, but issues are there with the underlying structure as well.

Well, at least it's not another high school game, even if a bunch of the models look like they should be in high school, and we did manage to visit a classroom in the first chapter after all. Anyhoo, that's my useless 2 cents.

what did you expect Slick Bean ?
A new developer appearing like "Hi - I am a new dev, just started my game, now pay me. I will not tell what exactly you will get (big surprise), but i want your money"
Better he stopped right now, rather than some time later when he would have recognized anyways that this way will not work as well as expected.
Aside that, we don't even know WHY and by WHOM the patreon page has been removed.
Anyways, at least we now know for sure that this project had no passion at all and was a simple try to make fast money.
If a dozen negative posts on F95 after 2 months of development really would be the only reason to stop a patreon project, i honestly doubt this project had a chance at all to begin with.

PS: naming and shaming is against F95 rules - just saying (hiding behind spoilers or not - doesn't change the fact)
