Well, firstly if polls are an indication of how much content a character should have, if we take the poll in this thread for example being in first place with 24% doesn't mean that the majority of players like her best. Quite the opposite: 76% of people like some other character first. My favourite character is Emily, but if I can't have Emily scenes I would much rather have scenes with literally any other character than with Ann. All the other characters combined don't come close to 76% of the scenes currently in the game. Not even close.
Currently, there are 57 scenes in the game's gallery, out of which 26 are with Ann if I'm not wrong. Way over 24%.
19 scenes with Vannessa.
12 for all the others including 5 one-off scenes with secondary characters, which leaves 7 scenes between (for me) the best three girls: Alex, Emily and Jenny.
(I've checked it and Alex photoshoot scene isn't even in the gallery, so let's make it 8 scenes between the three of them out of a total 58.)
Proportionate? I don't think so.
Secondly, I'd love to see another poll asking "Who's your least favourite girl?" That would be interesting.
Finally, and this is something that has been discussed a lot here, people who like Ann primarily do so because she plays a certain role in the story they have a fetish with. She's the nerdy girl they can corrupt, share and turn into a filthy whore.
If Alex played that role, she'd be their favourite. If Amber was a main LI and she played tha role, she'd be their favourite, etc.
And very importantly too: you get more fans the more screen time you get. It's not fair to compare her popularity to anyone else's.

Kitten, i have maybe a dozen or two posts in this thread. Out of 7k. You'd need to be inane to think i'm actually the developer for this one, given i spend most of my time on this site anywhere but here. But whatever helps you alleviate the anal pain of being publicly called out on your ignorance, i guess. Keep the dream alive.Please don't badmouth the game, "ffive" is very angry. FFive is the F95 minister of the "LSS" game.

What did you think of the update bro? I liked it except for not being able to cuddle Vanessa but that I understand because she's not ready for it yet.

I think you may need to replay the game from the start again. You seem to be a little lost. The story that the MC is telling someone on the PC starts with Joey, Ann and Vanessa. If it wasn't for Ann, Alex wouldn't even be in the story because the MC wouldn't know her. Clearly Ann and Vanessa are the main pillars of the story. Ann and van are what keeps the story moving forward. So I'm struggling to understand how wtf you mean by "losing narrative control" when the character is a big chunk of that very same narrative.It's sad to see a developer become a slave to those damn shit surveys and lose narrative control of their game's story.
All very good arguments but I still fail to see how the Ann focus is hindering the story. You realize that she is the only character you can get into a relationship with, right? It is through Ann that you even get to know Alex. So if there was no Ann in the story there would likely be no Alex either.
Whether we like it or not Ann and Vanessa are the two mains girls who are clearly the more relevant to the story that Ben is telling. And clearly the ones that can provide any sexual content at this point. Jenny is a bit of a prude that will likely only bang you if you're in a relationship with her and considering you just met her it's gonna take a little bit. Emily is the MC's fucking sister. That one's gonna take quite a bit of time. And Alex? She may be an insta whore but I'm pretty sure she's a virgin or at least very inexperienced sexually so that may take a while too.
Ann isn't on my top 3 but I have no issues with how much impact and screentime she has in the story. It makes complete sense to me. Even on the Ann Hate route.

You're wrong... he's following Alex on Insta regardless of Ann.

No, you know Alex from her Instagram page, plus you forgot the scene where you talk to her and she becomes your neighbor regardless of whether you're in a relationship with Ann or not.
Technically, the MC gets to meet Alex because of Emily, not Ann. Emily meets her first when she moves in the neighborhood and nudges MC to visit her, because she thinks that's a cute girl and possibly a good girlfriend for MC.
The MC only learns that Ann and Alex are friends either later when he goes out with Ann and meet Alex outside of cinema, or through insta picture with them both on it.

Nah, I spoiled myself looking at his code before it was released and honestly, I don't care.

Anyone else feel let down by the distinct lack of Chris and Hobo content?

Oh, yeah, there are a few things. He didn't like it when I said Emily and Alex were side characters and they needed some more time and hopefully we will get more soon. Basically, he said they said they are not, and had plenty as of now.
I don't understand why Van/Ann are so god damn popular, they are just cumdumpsters

I think the main reason Ann gets so many scenes (besides being the main LI) is because she's the only girl who has a story, or at least had an attempt at one earlier on in the game. Vanessa kind of does, but not really at this point. And Emily/Alex/Jenny don't have stories for the most part.
Emily being randomly naked and jerking MC (and even Joe) without much of a thought and Vanessa's mom banging MC for no apparent reason is a pretty good representation of this game's transition from a story game (even a lewd one) to just a lewd game.
I think Ttrick has unintentionally over scoped this game. I'm not sure what exactly the endpoint of this game is meant to be either. The characters, besides Ann and Vanessa, aren't really connected together. There isn't an overarching plot tying things together. Ideally, he'd cut some of the more niche routes to get things back under control. Right now it's pretty obvious he's just making it up as he goes.

tbh the hyper focus on Vanessa and Ann is why I haven't played this since V 0.8 ( when I first played the game). Kind of a game I just let cook till I feel like it at this point , still probably will buy it on steam at some point still good scenes even if I don't like the direction of the game.
I'm also a soon to be former patreon of this title. I'm dropping my support for the reason stated by many before: too much focus on Ann.
Not only I don't find this character especially attractive (there's something wrong with her neck-body-head proportions) but her story is the less interesting and even absurd, I might add. Even wearing the rose-tinted glasses of porn logic, she goes from zero to slut in no time, with the simple reason that "everyone expected her to be the perfect girl". In addition to this, it seems she hardly needs the MC's input to descend into corruption and it's also not possible at all to "control" or limit this process.
At least with Vanessa, there's a comical/pathological side to her lewdness but she stays true to her character.
A wasted opportunity, imho.

to renew interest, this game needs to develop in width, not in length
it is more interesting to start over and find new ways and opportunities
besides, telephone stories are trending now, this could be implemented here
I love this game and I write what I would like from it

Don't get me wrong, it's one of my favorite games (got it for free on Steam, well technically, I've been a dollar supporter for like a year, so got a key), I just wish every update just wasn't purely focused on those 2 all the time. Every update the gallery is pretty much them. The other girls are side content, but he doesn't see it that way, but the proof is in the scenes and how much time is devoted to those 2.
