Oh i see. Your own character flaws. I can understand that. You are very welcome about the clarification. I know Belle has yet to decide on the time limit for when the Princess shows up but i am sure it will be announced in the changelog so everyone knows.
Hopefully it is close to at least 3 months (90 days). 60 days would make it pretty hard to reach all the content without knowing exactly what to do and when to do it. It would still be possible (judging from the current content) but I think 90 days would be more in line with the majority of players.

It's not supposed to be easy to get "all" the content (as much as you can get in one playthrough anyway). It's just meant to be possible. This game is designed around the concept of NG+, where getting everything becomes much easier. Someone playing through this game only once will miss content no matter if he's following a walkthrough or not. This is by design, and it is part of the game's story. It will make sense, but I can't tell you why at this point in time. Suffice to say, nobody needs to stress out over the time limit. It won't be a problem in the final game.

Aside from that, everything is going to get a balance pass when all the content is in place. At some point, probably once the story is finished, but perhaps even at the beginning of the endgame, I will invalidate all saves and rebalance the entire game. This is going to cause havoc with walkthroughs but will also be the final time that is going to happen in any significant way, so it's not all bad. The time needed to accomplish various tasks in the story will likely be adjusted as part of this process, which means some things might take fewer actions while others might take more. The former is more likely than the latter. In particular, the requirements for reaching various parts of the story, in terms of abilities, will likely be heavily modified.

While reports about how long it takes to get through the game right now are useful as I prepare for this balance pass, those same reports shouldn't be used as an exact guide to how long it will actually take to get through the final game.

Personally, I can't say I have ever been a fan of hard coded time limits, even when it does make sense in the story. You have a hard time balancing what various players want with the others, some want to speed through the main story and ignore side stuff, others like to explore every nook and cranny. Some of this could be alleviated by making the game not end after the ending, so you can still run around and do things after the main story is over. The way a lot of RPGs do it is to have some event/quest be the trigger rather than a hard coded # of days.

Oh well, not trying to tell you how to do it, just thinking out loud really.

Funny that you say that because the inevitable time limit is the part of the game that I am most worried about. Time limits have never gone over well in any game AFAIK. They're always the most hated part of the game and just pushes players to use a walkthrough. You should consider that a large majority of the playerbase will not be considering NG+ and will only use their first playthrough as the experience. And that might skew things a bit.

Of course that is all just talk about time limits in other games. How you approach this is yet to be seen. But the walkthrough part is all but guaranteed. Time limits will push 8/10 players to just follow a walkthrough.

To help with the time limit, maybe put a "hint" system in the game? I know about the clue/secret hints, but a more in-depth hint system that more or less serves as an in game WT. A quest log might be a better thing to call it. Can have a "quest log/guide" for each character, and the main-quest(s).

Hello!
I play I play and got stuck, in short.
As I look through the passage, Primula should tell about the record of parents!
How do you get into this conversation with Primrose?
And I can’t reveal the last secret of Evelyn ....

Isn’t that function pretty much filled by Belle?

Tfw Belle will never get an impregnation update

So, Belle's rant about living in the Lesbian Fairy Forest of Girl Love made me feel bad for her. Anyone else felt like that moment was surprisingly heartfelt and well done. Or Am I just a fruitcake for feeling bad she couldn't fulfill her dream of gobbling cock?

I mean, I dunno, is it weird that a talk about sex in a porn game made me kinda emotional and relate to that little bitch and now I like her a lot more.

Nope i felt the same way and let her have the main character's cock any time she wanted. Honestly, I am the kind of man that can't separate feelings from sexual desires, so you aren't alone.

I am that way too. At least in real life. I can fuck anything in video games but feelings are what makes it really hot for me. And I especially don't like "forced" and stuff like that. Anyway yeah it made me want to help her.

And I forgot to say, I just realized typing that I think this is officially my second favorite game on this entire site. Because of stuff like that.

Well i can't fuck everything like you can. I gotta at least like a certain female before i want to fuck her in a game too. Yeah the whole dom and sub isn't really my thing either. I prefer equality in sex where no particular person controls what happens but both people contribute to helping eachother orgasm which always leads to the best sex but i digress. I hope that once the main character saves the Princess that we can reverse the the magical mind control and seduce all the women regularly. I know it's not gonna happen though.

Yep this game is definitely in my top favorite games on this site mainly cause everything about Evelyn. I really like her entire story.
