moved to games .. have fun

Looking pretty interesting, the Daisy character from the previews looks sweet.

Also nice to see a straightforward Vanillaish game for a change of pace.
Looking forward to more for sure.

 

[HappySapling]

Looks good so far, see you in 6 months.

 

[GGGamingRP]

In the pictures there is health and money is this a sandbox?

EDIT: Played it very good VN not sandbox.

 

[Deleted member 1324580]

Seems like it could be interesting and refreshing, I'll give it a shot.
Super powers is always a fun way to spice up a story.

 

[Avaron1974]

Ohhhh, this looks good.

 

[desmosome]

You tellin me the dev team had 20 people at one point?

 

[DDoS_V4]

Finally a Indian mc
All the best to the developer
Keep going man

MC is mixed race
Oxlandian+Indian

Reason I made this choice is to connect/add some of the things I like about indian culture into the game.
If you are from India, I can use some pointers on this mixed-race character.

In the pictures there is health and money is this a sandbox?

It's a system that was in development before covid destroyed our business, now I've repurposed it to display health during a fight scene/show amount of money.

 

[Yoru]

It looks good!

You tellin me the dev team had 20 people at one point?

We used to work on different kinds of projects(hardware and software), few months back we had 20 people (4 were assigned to Master of Dark Arts) but covid destroyed our business.
Long story short
- Devs left
- Now its just me trying to revive this studio

You might want to use Buy Me a Cup of Coffee for donations. If I'm going to support a new game, I'm more likely to do it using something like COFFEE or Subscribestar where I can more easily control my donations.
Even when I had a Patreon account, only once did I support a 1st or 2nd time release game on it and Patreon does not make it easy to cancel a subscription. I'm not into supporting games that offer releases every 3 plus months.
This is NOT criticism of what you are doing.

 

[Tragic Princess]

I like this Dev already, we need more straighforward types, count me in.

 

[DDoS_V4]

V0.2A has choices
V0.3 & future releases will show its consequences - so detailed Walkthrough will be available with next release.

Everything I see is vanilla as hell, I hope, there will be a little twist on the typical corruption path,

Will the MC survive? Will the world survive?

I'm not gonna help... I'm going to corrupt your party, instead.

 

[Deleted member 167032]

Looks good, reminds me a bit of Reluctant Archon another great game.

As a fan of romance I must say that this game in its current version left me very pleased. I liked the game. A lot.

Based on the description, it looks like it will be a one love interest game and personally, I love that. No harem, no other girls or anyone else stepping in. I'd like it to stay that way. I don't mind dark themed plots as long as I can play it in a "vanilla" way. Being the "good guy", protecting and loving Daisy, etc.

We have a good MC. Pretty normal, I honestly don't think that, so far, it stands out much. He definitely cares about Daisy and they are both in love, that's for sure. And most importantly for me, he is not a creepy as fuck pervert.

I think Daisy is so fucking adorable. I love how "possessive" she is with the MC. Like I said, she is clearly in love with him even though she tries to hide it.

And now, what I did not like, in my opinion. I'm not going to reveal spoilers, but we are given the reason why Daisy "denies" her love for the MC. A reason that seems to be quite tied to the main plot of the game. But I think she overdoes it. Beyond this reason, she excuses herself in the typical "We grew up together, you are like a brother." And it is a valid reason, of course. What does not convince me at all is that she repeats it many times.
What I do understand is that she is quite an innocent and inexperienced girl in the world of romance and sexuality. Hence her discomfort when talking about these issues. In my opinion, this is well done. Just as in games and in real life there are people who like to enjoy and explore their sexuality to the fullest, there are also those who are much more reserved and do not like to talk about these issues.

So overall, it seemed like a very good game to me. I will definitely keep track of it and wish the developer the best. I read the complications that occurred with the work team and I cannot imagine how difficult it is to carry out a project under these circumstances.
