why oh why would somebody just make some intricate design to ... hide the hard work put in and gate the juicy parts.

I guess my philosophy is a little different. I like hidden things, hard to get things.
It give you some sense of accomplishment when you finally get to them.

As a suggestion ... AAA game usually have recurring tips and tricks to help ease the transition and sometimes bells and whistles ... most just lower the threshold or just skip ahead to the next step...

Yeah, I honestly hate that lol. I like complicated games with a lot of complex mechanics.
I think it might be a combination of my own tastes in games and that most people around here are used to Visual Novels or polished AAA titles. Also I'm not a terrific game designer either so it does make some sense why there seems to be lack of interest in my game.

Plenty of people seem smart, but are actually stupid. :D
I think I get what you're saying though.
Some things I can improve upon, some thing I'm just going to take with me for future projects.
The design I have for a future game is less intricate.

"One thing i found funny is the Sci-Fi tag, there is no content in their related to aliens or anything of that domain. In my opinion the dev or whoever edited the tags thought 'coding and quantum mechanics are out of this world, to the point where its Sci-Fi'."

I have a feeling that you perceive something like Star Wars as Sci-Fi, when it is in fact just fantasy. Sci-Fi is when there's science, but it's not actually real. This is a common misconception in the genre and frequently give me headaches when I try to find new books to read. :(
The Sci-Fi in my game comes in the form of the Quantum Data Processing Application, which is just some stuff I dreamed up one day, it is actually not possible to do.
For instance, Jurassic Park isn't Sci-Fi because of the dinosaurs, it's Sci-Fi because of how they made the dinosaurs. Which seems rather plausible if you don't delve too deep into what works and what doesn't.

Also since I'm writing this I thought I should mention it.
The grind can somewhat be circumvented by using fast(er) mode in the preference menu, this option will cause you to gain all the points that any given scene can give you the first time you see it.
So the first scene with Sarah will give you 25 affection instead of 1 or 2.

Anyway... thanks for the review!

I'm at least 95% positive that Fasder's already said that there's not going to be any mother/son incest, only the sister. The twins as well, obviously, but I don't think they'll be going outside of each other.

Yes, sorry excuse my ignorance. Also, a game should not have a built in mode to skip things in my opinion. Carrying on from my last statement, I think a game is in this instance (the game being an pornographic video game) that it's either made hard or made easy. I can understand why you would add the faster mode and in my books you get points for adding it (when i look at it more logically). However, people (Can i even say that? :D) don't want it to be as easy as "25 affection" points as there is 0 grind. You want to have a balance where people are forced to grind either way; but maybe if you revamped the faster mode so it would reap a lower amount of points that what you mentioned. (Sorry for coming across as a little bit pretentious if it appears that way :oops:)

Keep up the good work though, Ill look forward to changing my rating!

Grind for the sake of grind .. yeah .. that is some idea;)!??
Grind can only work given enough random features to enjoy while doing it .
Clicking 14 times a day to get through 2-3 weeks of the same renders, same dialogues, same mimics and so on and so forth just proves there is no sake for grinding;)!

The way I see it is that it's optional, it's like a game with an optional difficulty. If you want to go the whole nine yards, you can do so, if you don't want to then you don't have to.

I plan on trying to improve the early parts of the game, adjusting the points being one thing, but that'll come after I've remade the shitty renders that still needs to be remade.

Like there is in the new house? Because that's exactly why I've spent a lot of time making random scenes and stuff to see while you progress the story.

I want to add more scenes in the early game, but like I mentioned above, I want to redo the renders first, then I can start making small scenes and whatnot.
