Not all first release are masterpiece, but they can always improve. I see some game where the first renders look very mediocre, but become way better as they progess. I think it's better to show Dev some encouragement, else they will think none will support them. That's why I always give five star to the first release that I like, even they have flaws
We need more players like you lol i don't think people understand how important that is to devs when they're just starting out.

Yeah your game is the example I was talking about, the improvement is so visible. Sadly I follow like about 30-ish HS game, so most I can offer is compliments, rating and promotion, as I can not support them all financially

maybe so, but you can understand people who don't want to play another college game with a mediocre plot, basic assets and models, you'll have to invest in either a visual or a plot, or better yet, both. It's not 2020 when any HS game was considered a masterpiece)
No one is demanding the level of development of "Contagion Crisis" from the first part, but you must invest in the plot and romance. As you gain experience, you will improve the level of drawing. Works like Inanna's Revenge or Issekai Paradise captivate from the very first part and keep you engaged. Releasing another Harem Kingdoms does not require much effort or desire, but you will receive a well-deserved rating for such a "masterpiece."

I think the optional choice is 3-4 stars. So,you can tell the dev he can improve and the original idea isn't awful,in this case you don't over rate it(They might think they don't need to change anything) or underestimate it(Imagine,a dev who spent 8 months to make a game and got 3 1star reviews :HideThePain:)

Yeah,they have really great update in terms of graphics
from this

to this

Also I just noticed how good posing and expressions were all the time
The only problem they have now is writing,tbh,I'm not even sure it's possible to make Eden really interesting. So,I'm more excited to see their next game than seeing the ending of Eden

And a bit more regarding 5 star reviews,here's an example:
https://f95zone.to/threads/correctional-church-v0-2-chibis.261436/
Like,people who searched it will think it's a some kinda outstanding banger and in the end will get disappointed.
The game itself isn't bad,but there are barely anything,like 300 renders at best and it can't be rated this high
So far what we have here is mostly world building and basic plot setup
world building and basic plot setup were in scions of the divine,and here it's a short prologue that doesn't explain anything.

i think there are already fair share of people who do that, giving low score and really harsh critic, so it will even out it the end. I still write my true critic on the comment though, just rate them higher, and perhap I just has a really low standard lol, so I either rate 5 stars or don't rate game at all.

Do not even fret, my totally unbiased opinion is that by the time we reach the end of Eden people will at least have it in their top 20 AVNs. Right now we're even working with a musician to get our first OSTs too! All that aside, we are moving the story into a more serious direction, mainly because I'm treating Eden the way I wish more isekai anime were, so hopefully the vision I have ends up translating well to the screen. I do appreciate the compliments on the visuals tho, I've been practicing quite a bit every day to improve ^-^

Don't even worry about the finance bit, F and I are doing this out of pure love of making games and telling stories, so having people compliment our work, rating, and even promoting is so much more than we can ask for. Thank you so so much!!

If your game can be completed in any satisfying way, then it will surely be in my top 20 HS completed game, I mean it's not much competition anyway, given that there are like 10-ish decent completed HS game

We've had the entire game planned out for a few months already and I'm personally satisfied with it. I don't want to drag the game on too much because we do want to move onto the next game, but I also don't want to commit the same mistakes as devs before us where the ending felt too rushed. The main thing, though, is to not milk our audience.

if only more devs thought like that. there are so many otherwise good games that have been ruined by just going on forever and messing up all story and pacing. planning an executing a good ending is a very important part of writing a story. looking forward to what you guys have cooked up!

Fr, Carter foursome would break the internet as we know it.
Yes... and no.

I mean, a Carter household full "reunion" would be a blast, but the big P would never allow that. Caribdis managed to get away with that on OiaLT because by then Patreon was less vigilant, and Caribdis himself was drawing much less attention then than he's now.

But, unless Cari comes with some kind of genius idea to circunvent the current Patreon ToSs, there is no way he would be willing to risk his hefty income due to a Patreon ban for incest.

And, we also have the technical issues. Rendering more than 3 characters simultaneously on HS2 animations is crazy hard, and exceedingly demanding on hardware, even more so with the detailed cards Cari uses. :/

That's why I said it would break the internet as we know it, quite literally break it.
