About the filters and pictures that are in this game I can say that the game looks like it should. The characters look the way I imagine them to look. And the sex scenes look good (screenshot above). If you don't like it ok no problem. I for example do not like the graphics Daz studio 3D but I do not write in the comments of each game what there are terrible anatomical errors in the construction of the body. I do not play games that I do not like.
Enjoy the game.;)
or perhaps realize that there would be a great deal more interest in your game w/o that filter so many people despise and its possible theyre trying to help you by letting you know they hate that one facet enough to not look twice

Abandoned? Just look at my games none of them are abandoned. My games have other problems lol:LOL:
Well then, I look forward to how this game progresses. I'm more or less ambivalent on the weird filter but if this is abandoned I'm going to have serious trust issues ... :cautious:

Nah, sike. I'm already skeptical unless a game reaches 5 updates including the initial release. No offense, I've just been disappointed too many times by devs who slowly ghost the project or outright abandon it relatively quickly. It's just a general rule of thumb for me that saves time and money (if I decide to support the dev). Your personal track record aside, I'm only familiar with a few devs who I like who stick with it while also not taking a year or longer these days to update.

Not directed towards you but just makes things more simple. I don't feel like I'm throwing away money towards a dev I don't believe in or whose "creative vision" (for those more pretentious devs) I don't like.

Regarding your game: I simply just clicked on it, saw the description, saw the previews, and felt like I've seen a lot of these kinds of games that are abandoned pretty quickly. It just usually stings more when it's a game with an interesting premise. My bad and good luck. I'll look forward to what comes in the future.
frankly there needs to be more ren'py games that use it
More real porn or more html? I always feel kind of sketched out about HTML games. I kind of avoid them because of that but I'd like to know more about their pros and cons before just writing them off like that.

real porn games..... frankly there needs to be fewer html ones but they have the lowest entry bar so
Ah ok. Agreed. It's just for me, the grammar and spelling need to be good enough or there's just no point in playing a game when I could just look up the scenes/pics myself.

Also glad I'm not alone on the aversion towards HTML games. :ROFLMAO:

Hello.

The sumary and samples made me come. And the result is too short to really assess the game.

The worldbuilding is limited.
The characters are few and different.
The plot is simple and easy to follow.
The artistic side is fine.

The protagonist decided to change his environment for college, where he'll meet new people and something more may happen.
The characters are interesting. While the athletic crowd seem awful, Greg was nice at the gym. The MC is neutral enough to be shaped by our playthrough (not sure if what happens in the teacher's room was necessary).
The story is limited to meeting different people, a single choice for an intellectual or athletic path (more are needed to make it a game and not a kinetic one, not that it's bad either way, it's just completely different; also, I hope intelligence and sports won't always be mutually exclusive) and the first issue he encounters.
The artistic side isn't that bad. It made me think of Living in Kanazawa. It would have been better to have the photos as is but I've seen worse either with that filter or 3dcg/2dcg/pixel art, even ai cg. I can't really talk about sex scenes since it's limited to a blowjob in a dream.

There are as many women as men. So it could lead to many possibilities (group sex, bi playthrough, sissification), though it's too early to know what and it piqued my curiosity.

The english still needs some work. But more importantly, it's important to be careful about the names and staying consistent with them. You should avoid abbreviations (like this one 1710300746195.png ). Also, there's a difference between ' and ". You should also differentiate speech and thought (it's not always done), otherwise it can be confusing. When there's a long sentence, it can cover the options at the bottom (like this 1710301395778.png ), so you need to take that into consideration.

The dialog with Timmy on day 3 should be different, depending on if we stayed with him or not the second day. I understand you made it neutral enough to reduce your work but it feels off, particularly if we go to the gym.

I didn't try your other games since I have a hard time playing as a woman but this one could become interesting, depending on where you want it to go.

Good continuation.

Mmmmhhh... ok
So, first, this is a VN, so very little choices
I'm not bothered much by the graphics. In a sandbox game, they would be perfectly acceptable, but this is no game (yet).

Main gripe: version 1.0
Maybe the site could do more about education game authors about versioning conventions for software.

1.0 denotes something that is in some way achieves something, contains enough functions to reach a goal from the user's perspective.
I doesn't mean that additional content can't be added later, additional branching, etc. but a Version 1.0 should provide an enjoyable story from the beginning to some kind of conclusion, for example like a series pilot movie.

This version of the VN is a v0.1

I like real porn in renpy. I hope the dev has a good taste in models and put a lot of milfs. Best luck dev.

So, i dont understand the logic behind this. It was said : The game looks like i wanted it too look.
Correct me if im wrong, but are you not creating games for other people to enjoy?
With this many comments about the filter, its quite obvious it will not become very popular.
If you are making the game for yourself, thats fine. But then dont try to make money off it.
It just does not work that way. You create in service of other players, not yourself.

Any educated salesperson, will tell you that your opinions/preferences/ views do not matter at all.

Hello.

A nice little update. The choices have already some consequences and some paths only appear if we took the right one previously.
The only issue that could be raised would be to have a choice to spend or not the money we got from Billy at the club. We could find many other uses for it (helping Timmy, giving gifts, going on a date, buying better furnitures for our room...). I already saw that type of content being badly received when it's forced upon the player.

Also, the color of Billy's name is difficult to see with that font. Is there an option to make it better for the eyes?

While I understand what you're saying, the way you do it is awful. In other words : you say that games should only be made for the majority. Just because those writing here don't like it doesn't mean everyone don't. For example, I don't mind it since I've seen worse with 2D and 3D.
Also your reasoning is strange. Why people wouldn't enjoy it? Why won't it become popular? Does being popular mean a game is really good? I've played some that were really bad. Why shouldn't he money out of it? I've seen worse than this one not receiving that kind of comments. And because of what : a filter? You talk about service on a pirate site when the majority comes here to have free content.

Your last argument is stupid by the way : if a dev doesn't enjoy it, there's no way he can make something good. A salesperson that try to sell something he dislikes will clearly have a hard time doing so since he'll be less convincing (and yes, a few are able to do it and sell you everything but you feel it when they are reluctant).

Good continuation.

Income in generated, by more users. So yes, making games for a majority is more succesfull.
The point was not to make out how bad the game was, but more about the limits is he is putting on himself.
As i said, he is completely free to do whatever he wants, how much he wants etc.
But there is a drawback to that.
If you want to live in rainbow land, go ahead. Im only pointing out how the world works.
Just because you dont agree to it, does not make it less correct.
And a decent salesperson,wont appeal to his own wishes. But rather of his customer.
Believing in the product, has nothing to do with that.

Hello.

I wasn't expecting to open a discussion just by sharing my disagreement. And I still can't agree with everything you said.

Not always. You can sell to many at a low price or to only one at a high price.

Also, what is the majority you are talking about? The majority that express itself? The one that has money? The one that has power? The one that is ok with how it is and says nothing?
Are we supposed to do everything like the 2 countries with more than a billion of citizens?

What do you mean by successful too? Are gay games, text based only games and more generally ugly arts, annoying films, gore mangas that works just exceptions?

The point was not to make out how bad the game was, but more about the limits is he is putting on himself.
That's how it felt though.

As i said, he is completely free to do whatever he wants, how much he wants etc.
But there is a drawback to that.
Yes, even if he chooses to follow what people wants, particularly on a pirate site with a majority who wants to have everything for free.

If you want to live in rainbow land, go ahead. Im only pointing out how the world works.

No. The world doesn't always work like that. Even more in a world becoming more and more individualistic.

And a decent salesperson,wont appeal to his own wishes. But rather of his customer.
Believing in the product, has nothing to do with that.
Since when a salesperson stopped being human? They have their own flaws like everyone.
He can do that but he can also force the customer to buy something he isn't even interested in.
That has nothing to do with believing in a product. He could even sell dog shit if he is that good. He is just there to do his job and that job depends on his experience, personnality, mood, the firm, the product, the brand, the customer and many other factors. There's not one truth but many.

By the way, for a better comprehension, what do you mean by rainbow land? It's always a mystery how others are using expressions that don't make sense for me. Are you refering to "The Wizard of Oz"?

Good continuation.

Thank you for your support! Let's remember Naruto :WeSmart:! At the beginning of his journey, everyone hated him too:Kappa:, and look where it led him:WeSmart:. My first game on this site had a rating of 1.5:poop:, and the second one already has 3:PogChamp:. This game could be a springboard for the next one:KEK:.
