Images 1 and 2: I have noticed that sometimes the gril's eyes are bright, so I wonder if it is related to the use of their magic power or not. Most of the times it seems so, but other times not.
Images 2 and 3: I know that the artificial intelligence is often insanely stupid, but see the characters look to the player instead to the each others make the scenes a little bit unreal.
Image 4: maybe it is due to the perspective, but it seems that the part of the parapet in foreground is missing.
There is a pattern to eye glowing, when there is no obvious spellcasting taking place.
For 2 it's not the AI's fault, it's how I've placed them and used static images. This scene is animated, but to prevent the animator going off on one with making up their facial features, you have to start the scene with as much of their faces visible as possible.
For 3, that one isn't animated, Lyra's sprite could be better. When everything is done and all sprites animations and sound effects are in, i play it through and correct bad uncanny valley offenders. This is one is one that has made me look back at it a few times already just in collecting screenshots. I will run her sprite through a facial adjuster that can direct her eyes to look more at the bad guys than at the player. A lot of the times the sprites are used for more than one scene or instance so what works in one scene, doesn't in another and it needs a variant created.
It is like if it was in someway related to that mc's chaotic relationship with the magical power: when he is around, he is able to boost the girls/women's "magical receptiveness", even if they aren't casting any spell.

Some cultures believe the eyes are the window to the soul, perhaps the MC's power is stoking the passion in their souls so that they will do things which they wouldn't otherwise contemplate, such as incest or a business partner taking a man young enough to be her son as a lover.
Endless possibilities. Although you are in the right ballpark with the soul stuff.
Well, it seems that in this universe the magic power is strictly related to the libido and since the libido is strictly related to our psyche…

Vikingfile is a dodgy download site if you ask me.. you click download and it does say to close the popup and download the file from that page, but if you dont see that then it looks like the popup is the file download and invariably it's an "advert" that takes you to download some kind of malware. If you are downloading via viking you need to close the window that pops up after you click download and then click the download link again and it will download the file without a popup. Personally I would use GoFile (which is the download I provide) or PixelDrain.
I have no problems with Vikingfile. My ad block blocks the popup and the download just starts. If anyone suspects foul play you could download the file on multiple sites and compare hashes.
I finally got around to playing Alice's scene. I liked it. A good and believable intro to their relationship.
There were a few lines of text that I found odd or seemed wrong. I will mention them here for review. English is not my native language, so I could be wrong myself.
"Seriously, this I love this.". Either the first "this" is a leftover or if Alice is pausing her sentence there, then I'd expect "Seriously, this... I love this.".
"The sun is still bright through the light cloud and (...)". The sentence could go many ways, but it feels off either way for me. I'd expect either "The sun is still bright through the light clouds and (...)", or "The sun is still bright through the light cloud deck and (...)", or "The sun is still bright through a light cloud and (...)". The sentence as is could work if it refers to a specific light cloud that was mentioned previously, but there wasn't as far as I remember.
"(...), and attempt to wrench your gaze away". In the context, I'd expect "(...), and you attempt to wrench your gaze away".
"You must be quite the heartbreaker in your year.". During this conversation Alice is talking about your time at the Academy and it is confirmed in the same conversation that you already graduated, so I'd expect "You must have been quite the heartbreaker in your year". IIRC, in the very next sentence she also uses past tense.
"Hahaha!.". The period after the exclamation mark is superfluous I assume.
I have made screenshots of all the scenes and can provide those if needed for context, but I assume a simple ctrl-f will work.
I hope I'm not being too nitpicky and again, I could be wrong myself, but it breaks the immersion for me if I read the story and something sounds off.

Thank you, no that's fine, always happy to have mistakes pointed out so I can fix them. Most of these probably are. Cloud is fine, you don't have to pluralise it. It's light cloud, heavy cloud, broken cloud etc. It refers to the general pattern of weather in the sky, rather than specific formations of clouds.

Well this has been a busy week. Update is a day early as I'm out most of the day tomorrow.
I've just finished adding in all the sprites, static images and animations for 0.4. I still have all the sound and music to do, I doubt I will make the Wednesday EA release date I was hoping for, but I might still be able to get it out for Thursday. I'm not sure, there are a lot of varied scenes which will require different ambient sounds as well as quite specific sound effects, so that's likely to take up a bit of time.
My 5080 and new monitor came on Friday and I had the day off to try and take advantage of them and get some progress done. Unfortunately I ended up losing most of the day to tech gremlins. Installing the new card and setting my workspace for the 2nd monitor all went nice and smoothly. However, Stable Diffusion and FramePack needed a lot of screwing around with in order to get them up and running.
SD wasn't too bad, just needed to overhaul the installation, uninstall some modules and update some dependencies. With stuff like this, I find that asking Gemini what I need to do is a life saver. I'm not particularly technically orientated by dev standards, so messing around with command prompts and python updates is not my strong suit. But I just had to give gemini the circumstances and ask it what to do and it produced a step by step instruction which was easy to follow. If something did go wrong, you can just give the error log to it and ask it what went wrong and why and it will tell you and how to fix it. It's not perfect, occasionally it sends me off on a wild goose chase, but on the whole it saves a huge amount of time in trawling forums or waiting for responses to questions.
FramePack has been a frigging nightmare. Got everything updated easily enough, but I've run in to one of those situations that just leaves you slightly dumbfounded. I can no longer use it to run longer animations. Anything more than 20 seconds and it crashes with an out of memory or page file too small error. Somehow, changing from a 10gb VRAM card to a 16gb VRAM one, makes framepack shit the bed when it comes to memory management. On my 3080 i had 10gb VRAM, 32gb RAM and a 50gb page file. Now I have 16gb VRAM, 32gb RAM and a 100gb page file and I'm still getting page file too small crashes. Very weird, very frustrating and spent all of my friday trying to fix it. To no avail. I have another 32gb of RAM on order as that should boost speed and allow longer generations.
However, generation speed for both SD and framepack is much faster. It's gone from about 2minutes per second to 50 seconds per second at a higher resolution (we aren't talking massive res changes, but everything helps). I can also set the generator to produce longer chunks. By default FP produces chunks that are just over 1 second long and then stitches them together. That creates a very slight warping to the motion in FP videos and also takes time as it has to stitch each 1second generation on the previous ones to build up the animation. As I now have more VRAM I can run longer chunks (about 2.5 seconds) this creates smoother and more coherent animations but also reduces the time it takes to produce the animation because it is doing much less stitching of animations. When I do that, on longer generations (10-20 seconds) it gets the gen speed down to about 40 seconds per second of animation.
For SD the speed of generation is so much faster and more practical that it means I can do more generations on demand to get what I need. When I'm doing sprites, if I find I'm missing something for a scene, I'll often go back to haul through historic generations or put the scene on hold whilst I let it run in the background. But it produces images so quickly now that for 15 images it takes about 2-3 mins, whereas before it took around 15 mins. I've also noticed that the image quality is better. I didn't know why and the only thing I could see that was different about my SD installation was I had removed an addon called XFormers that wasn't compatible. I didn't know what it did, it was just one of those things that lots of online advice is to have it. It turns out it's intended to speed up SD on older GPUs and it does this by slightly reducing the time it takes creating precision in the final image. By removing it, the images I'm getting now are slightly better. So that's nice. What isn't nice is that it also changes how precisely it recreates the prompt, which means it has changed how all the characters appear slightly, so I'm going to have to spend some time working on altering their prompts to get them looking the same as before. They aren't way off, but it's noticeable to me.
As all of the graphics work has been done for the update, I can also show some stats here now. This has been quite a hefty one. I definitely can't maintain this pace, so updates of this size are an exception, not a norm.
64 x sprites and static images of Alice.
34 x animations of Alice
58 x sprites and static images of Lyra
20 x animations of Lyra
5 x sprites of Zara
1 x animation of Zara
57 x sprites and static images of secondary characters.
79 x backgrounds, static scene images and items.
10 x background animations.
21500 words of story.
about 2600 lines of scripting so far, this will increase as I add in the music and sound effects.
Let me understand: are we going to see our "favourite mc of the neighbourhood", fighting in a match among gladiator's teams; a match in which some magicians are involved? OOOPS!

Great game. I loved getting to know this world. Graphics were quite nice. Well, there was occasional places where characters looks changed from one scene to another, but that's limitations of the AI. And those character sprites popping up upon background was weird at first, but I got used to it and technique got better later on.
The setting gave a bit of a steampunk vibes. I hoped that costumes would have been bit more like that style. For example first costume that MC bought was so plain (though I'm one of those who hate neckties and never appreciate that style, so I'm biased against it).
All characters were well written with distinct personalities. And most of them also guite nice to look at (Heidi being hottest).
Can't wait to learn more about elves. I liked what I saw so far.
I'm also hoping that I can spend some holiday in the wilderness (that's what I'd tell to friends, when in reality I'd go to goblin cave and spend days long depraved fuckfest impregnating them all. Hmm, tight goblin pussy
)
And great quality control with the writing. I didn't notice single typo.

That's kind thank you. There will be another visit with the goblins.Great game. I loved getting to know this world. Graphics were quite nice.

Some of the outfits are a lot plainer than I wanted, due to limitations of getting the Ai to reproduce the outfit consistently, so the simpler it is the less likely there are to be consistency problems.
The situation with that is getting better. Partly because I'm getting better and spending more time manually editing the images using Paintstorm. That allows me to correct minor issues (removing zips, buttons, adding damage, blood etc.). Partly because the technology is getting better and I can feed image generators images of the characters and the location and ask it to place them in it. It's still improving, but I tested the water with it a bit for the next update and was able to put together a few different scenes that would have been impossible with the older methods. So it may be I can start doing more complex outfits and then having them placed in scene, rather than using a sprite for it. Image quality does take a little bit of a dip though, so it's a tradeoff. The below is an example.

A few continuity glitches I've spotted as I'm playing.
#1 - Prologue: Lilly and MC in the kitchen, she generates a green fireball in her hand. Dialog says "blue". Easy enough to swap out that "blue" for "green".
#2 - Isabella's first scene with MC. Dialog says "...grinding against you through your clothes." MC was already naked. She stripped his pants off when she gave him the blowjob.
#3 - Sarah Sinclair: her dossier says she married Carl "Barker" when she was 18, and Lilly Barker was born a year later. Everyone else in the family is named SINCLAIR, and their dossiers state that the father is Carl Sinclair.
Could Sarah have married 2 men with the given name "Carl", with two different surnames? Yes, it's possible (my wife's late first husband was Jeff, my given name is Geoff, pronounced the same) but it would be unusual to say the least. But nothing in the existing lore indicates that happened.
#4 - Not to put to fine a point on it, but the step-family relationship does not apply to any of the siblings. The "step-" designation is for blended family members, people who are family by MARRIAGE, not blood. Example:
Father has child(ren), becomes single. Mother has child(ren), becomes single. Father meets Mother and they marry. The pre-existing children are now step-siblings because their parents are married. Father becomes stepdad to Mother's child(ren) and Mother becomes stepmom to Father's child(ren).
The existing story lore and the birth order of the children precludes that. Nothing in any of the family dossiers indicate that Sarah (or Carl) had a second marriage. So NO ONE in the family is a step-anything. If Carl supplied half of the DNA and Sarah provided the other half, the kids are all full siblings. MC dossier states he was "raised by" Carl and Sarah. SO, if neither parent provided the DNA for the MC, the options are:
A. - The Sinclairs are the MC's FOSTER family, "foster mother"/"foster siblings" would be the correct relationship.
B. - The Sinclairs ADOPTED the MC, making the family relationship "adoptive mother"/"adoptive siblings".
C. - If Carl provided half of the MC's DNA but Sarah did not (making him a literal bastard), we could possibly argue that Sarah is in fact a "step-mom" but the other children would be "half-siblings" not step-siblings.

I'm guessing that you are playing an old version of he game, as those "errors" have already been reported and fixed.
Do not overthink the whole "step-family" dynamic. Some AVNs have "step-families" some have "landladies and tenants/roommates", this is because incest is illegal and hosting sites tend to ban games that contain incest, so devs create spurious relationships to avoid such bans.
I think you are the first person that i have seen taking the whole "step-family" nonsense seriously.
