After starting and selecting one of the two Remove Censorship, then entering a new name for the MC comes after the map is displayed (Censored)???
:oops: :unsure: :mad:
Wildkayoti045 patches censorship. must have done something funny with the code.

I'm rozcherovyn .. this game is in kotigori porn huh ? but why then does nothing of the sort happen there? even the protagonists don't fuck each other or with others either.. they only sometimes hug and kiss and there's nothing exciting to say.. they would either muggle with each other or just for fun with someone and have fun to the fullest. and there is nothing from this etogo .. this is all a porn game ?????:unsure::unsure::whistle:o_O:cautious::rolleyes:
This is not porn in any shape or form.
Please read dev notes.

This game is a story-driven experience, like a movie but in ren'py vn form.
It will have erotic scenes but not full on porn scenes where nothing is left for imagination.
Rating of 21+ is to comply with law of land where I live.

Beautiful renders, but really lazy writing and dialogue. I'd recommend teaming up with someone else who can help with writing some more realistic dialogue. Potential is there, but you right now is unreadable.
Sorry about that, but don't have budget for hiring a writer for my hobby project(right now).
I'll hire a writer if this project get strong financial support in the future.
Till then, I'll try my best to write better dialogues (suggestion are always welcome)

Yooo,
First time playing this sort of angle in these games absolutely Loved it this was like a break for me thanks for that, Love that you tried to use Hindu Culture a bit, Never seen Using it such like this, Please tho go for bit of more strong Dialogues and Do not abondon this one, This one has potential to be at top with others
Loved it, thanks.
Thank you.
I'm good with 3D art but not a good writer and I also don't have budget to hire a professional writer right now.
I'm working on this project as a hobby. so... I'll try my best to write better dialogues (suggestion are always welcome).
And yes this VN is unique because it's not trying to be a forced porn game, this is a story driven experience like a movie.

So kinda like Rated R here in the States then. That's fine.

Okay so some respectful feedback. Making the MC this clueless is a pet peeve of mine. And I'm not just picking on your game. Any anime or other story that does this, is annoying. There have been plenty of clear signals that they're interested in each other, you don't have to make the MC this dumb.

MC's IQ is obviously high enough to figure this fact out.

Just my respectful two cents, no offense meant or intended.

Story has a nice hook I'm interested in. I also don't have a problem with just romancing one girl and making that relationship, um, "wholesome" for lack of a better word that I can come up with at the moment.

Friend,
There's nothing wrong with that scene or some other scenes I've seen complains about, game is not based on US culture/way of life.
- It's based on southern asian culture and parents here are very over-protective of their children even when their child grows like 50+ year old.
- Parents are also involved in their children's love life. (they make sure their child gets in relationship with the right person-especially girls parents)
- Dating have a lot of rules and formalities.
- Girls date to marry, not for casual sex.
- One night stands are extremely-rare.
- Also there's this whole joint family thing + respecting elders. (cultural thing)
- Everyone respects elders even when they don't agree with their views. (MC does it too - it's a cultural thing)

Daisy's aunt is being a protective parent in that scene by getting involved in her love life and also treating MC like her child, teaching him some rules and formalities of dating culture over their.
That's not just the US culture, US and a good chunk of European culture are probably very similar.

I'm willing to give this story a fair shot. I'm also going to be Captain Obvious here for a minute:

A lot of this is not going to go over well with a good chunk of your audience. Individualism is very strong in the States and much of Europe so "respect your elders" doesn't go nearly as far as it does in some Asian cultures where you even have words (like "senpai" as just one example) for people just a little bit older or younger than each other.

That said, I encourage you to write what you want to write. You may even be writing "what you know" and that's generally a good rule of thumb for writers, especially starting out.

I'm of an older generation, (thought not technically a "boomer") so a good bit of this story I have no problem with. I've put it in italics/bold up above in the quote. And we'll "respect our elders" here in the States, but that doesn't mean we'll necessarily obey them. We'll even respectfully tell them when we don't agree.

Good games with a little bit of Indian references, Good Story am looking forward to it and that respect your elder thing is what a child has been taught right from his/her birth, I even respect my assistant, or any employee who is older than me just by 2-3 years,so I know what this is about.Please don't abandon it.

Appreciated.
And if you do need with Hindu culture department I can help you with a best of my abilities. I am a Hindu I know a little bit of my religion (little bit only tho becase our religion is huge) and if you are going for Indian culture in this then Sure can ask me, and Btw by not ju.ping straight to like sex stuff is Indian like.

By the way, I'm not trying to be bossy or anything. It's your story and game, do as you wish (not that you need my permission). I'm just giving my two cents.

Do not take all this critique to mean I think this VN is hopeless or anything. I like the idea behind the story.

And of course this is all just my opinion, my two cents, it's meant to be constructive, not destructive. Feel free to ignore anything you disagree with, and I'm not trying to tell you how to write your story.

Friend I follow Hinduism so i know the game is based on the indian culture especially with half-indian guy. Sure it is like that but this is an fairly extreme view. I reinterate that the last scene was pretty ridiculous.

Hey Mate,
I am from India and about last scene that is not pretty much point on with our culture becase if any guy is to be find out with a girl in thats sort ordeal he would be dead,Because here you need to win a thousand of hearts before you can go for a feel, that scene is not totally to the point.( as in to a cultural point of view of Indian society or point of view)
Just enjoy the game if we keep on this he will drop this project.
Thanks and if you feel disrespectful from reply then I am sorry.
( I am not saying this overprotection of parents and involvement of parents in a relation is not good, actually gives a very healthy relation, unless you will end like those guys who crying after 1 day relation and even in India now a days parents are little open on these sort of topic - I am representing Present Indian culture here not Hinduism)

Sorry about that.
I'm not sure why it's happening.

I'm working on a new build with these choices removed and updated dialogues(with some proofreading).

So, if you are still facing these issue then I suggested you wait for the next build. It will feature (proofread) dialogues and unnecessary choices will be removed for a better experience."

OK, I want to say that the concept of the game is cool, but you are losing me with the couple being stupid. It may just be me, but the incessant romance storyline is old now, and this was my first play through. Get to the actual story promised, please. Any thoughts that it helps anything is wrong. There needs to be a less interpersonal dynamics by this point, especially with the awkwardness that is presented. As someone who writes and has sold some fiction stories, this would never get sold on a mainstream site after the first few people started rating it. The concept seems awesome, but dragging out the story will just cause people to rate you bad, which will lead to barely any sales. This comes across as a way to milk money via Patreon, not make a viable game. If it is a valid game, then streamline the romance and give some of the story being sold in the description.
