Hello I keep getting a failed to initialize graphics error. Is there a way to fix it?
My best bet would be installing all the RPGM runtime packages and rebooting your computer. Can't guarantee it works, but usually solves most RPGM issues on Windows.


For the primary focus to be ENF/Exhibitionism I haven't found a whole lot of it so far, other than the Beach, some of the scenes with different characters, robbers, and that one girl that you get the game from
I feel like that's a communication issue. If you want to be precise, the focus is getting the main character embarrassed from all the lewd situations, which constantly involve getting being naked or partially undressed. That would cover basically 80~90% of the scenes in the game.

ENF (embarrassed naked female) is more commonly known than EUF (embarrassed undressed female), so I tend to use it more, even if May isn't fully undressed most of the time. You could also argue it isn't true exhibitionism if she doesn't want to be exposed, unless you specify it as "forced exhibitionism" instead. The game doesn't have a lot of consensual exhibitionism so far, but I'll be adding more over time. ;)

Either way, I hope that explains it! And I hope you enjoy the rest of the game! xD

When you think about it though, how many times can a youthful, impressionable young woman experience it before she's less uncomfortable with the idea of it, but the execution. I sense willing exhibition in the future. Probably near the end of the game.

Also, to sate my curiosity. I notice a lot of AVNs and other Adult games tend to have issues with update reliability. A lot of it stems from lack of proper planning. Narratively (not assets like art), how much content do you have planned and/or written?

I have an exhibitionism "minigame" planned for just a few updates in the future, actually. It will be gated behind either a story event, or possibly a scene that plays after she's been exposed enough times. It just needs to feel natural after all that May has been through xD
Before that I'm going to add one for masturbation tho!

And yeah, I imagine most devs just come up with a story as they go. This tends to happen with all sorts of long projects, even professional manga. As for MSV, it's a mixed bag. I usually write the storylines in isolation, so it's not really that hard to keep track of things. The idea is you can do pretty much any of them in any order you want, with very little content gated behind some kind of progression (like needing a swimsuit for the beach, and needing to see some of Ember's scenes to be attacked by the Gropers).

Mostly I just write the beginning and end of a story, plus a few important plot points between, and then work on filling the gaps. That means I already have the ending for most questlines in mind, even if not all of the scenes between are written. The entirety of Abby's questline is written, as well as Betty's (tho I'm still unsure which ending I'm going with, since the last scene can go 2 ways. possibly I'll just let the player choose xD).

At least for the next few major updates, I already have everything written (up to v0.05.3). Also have a shit ton of ideas for side quests, new characters and areas and so on, but I try not to make promises on those. Got a rough roadmap (that's constantly changing) of what I expect the next 2 years of development or so should go, if you're interested:

You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.

I also want to release a special spooky side quest this Halloween, but no idea between which updates it will come out, so it's not in the roadmap lol

Anyway, I hope that explains it! ^^

I love your game so I hope the following will be taken as helpfull advice and suggestions and not critisim:

Presentation:
- Give the ability to change clothing at any time, especially it's so much fun if you add anything like her being dressed but no panties, and mix it with the underwear boys. Or wearing something lose, so if she bends over due to senes... And of course, such "pranks" can be taken even further, like may being seen but due to shame she pretends she can't find her clothins, and ends up pretending she is looking for it only to show more. Same with the beach, while a rapist is not fun, someone who goes there to look at girls + Nude May who gets embarrased, will spice things up, after all, a nudist = no sex, so of course if no one shows interest in her there is no fun <- all of this are exemples of presentation, the events are just exemples of why it would have better impact with them
- Rework on moving between maps: going to beach? yes? no? The bus charges money, but the beach and back, changing room and such, really don't need a confirmation; Each time you go through a door: Tick Tack. The default RPG Maker sound, that to this day I don't understand why it exist, but it just ruins the atmosher via adding noise; A way for may to quickly go to destination: due to repeated quest, events, so on, it's just going back and back as night hits. Of course, this would not be an issue if there was other events avalable during said time, but for now, it's just a "chore"; End game = title.... and not exist (yet another default RPG maker thing I don't get, why is there no quit/exist game), ideea is to add a simple option to quit the game entierly.

In case you add the game on steam (even if it's Early access, aka this version): The reason why so many adult games add an all age game on steam and adult patch separatly is exactly because some (but not all) valve employees ban games with lolis on steam. A banned game can't be appeled or otherwise. Heck, there are some publisher who might even give you more support if you work together with them, but, assuming you will do it solo: Just add an all age game, with 2 - 5 minute text. Absolutly no other context. That is more then enough. You really don't need anything that is an actual game or to explain the price (aka full price) and the restoration patch, aka free patch, can be on any free website you chose. And yes, talking about risk of piracy is not realistic since people who will pirate will pirate and anyone who wish to support you will buy the game + any other donation. And yes, your game will get more sales if you put in on steam, epic, GoG and other similar websites, this is exactly why so many ero publishers bother with creating an all age version and a restoration separatly

Remove monotone using free AI: Use AI to create tons and tons and tons of (non adult) NPC interaction and talk. Use AI to create NPC choses and dialoges scrips and whatever is needed in rpg maker. Once you have all of this. Then you select what you actually want to keep, other elements like chaging normal conversation into erotic conversation (after all, the free ai won't give you adult stuff, so just use a loop whole that you modify later). On this ideea, use the to create scripted events and plugs even minigames (don't go overboard, especially since this is more for the arcade then the "at work"), even if you don't understand how they work. You found a free online image of an object you would like to add but it dosen't look how you like? ask the ai to redraw it while keeping the format (but please don't have the ai draw the characters, they are fne as they are and this actually makes them more attrative then any AI could do, aka personalised art).

More freedom: There is no need for a main story as much as freedom to do whatever you want. Like start of game, being seen by father after bath. Well, why can't we repeat this? Heck, you can even take it further with May wearing swimsuit asking to bath with other her dad, maybe even other, but with time, she wants more to be less dressed or simple is "observed" as she is temporary removing her swimsuit to wash herself. And of course, other characters can be added to the mix. So this is an exemple of what I mean with more freedom. If she did something, let us do something similar, if not, even further. Don't worry if an ideea is good but you won't actually add it, that's very common and adding everything is not always the best solution.

Thank you very much for the feedback! I'm glad you like the game xD
Let me try to address the main points in order

- This is a frequent suggestion, but changing clothes at any time and place is out of the question. This game has a lot of hand drawn art, and I'm not making different variations to every scene to account for all the different possible outfits. I'd rather spend all that time just creating more new scenes. I understand the appeal of customization tho, and I'm at least adding a little variation to a few places, like the beach. More will come, like picking a halloween costume, having the possibility of losing your panties in the arcade and so on. But much more than that is just not feasible for this kind of game.

- I may streamline some transitions, yes. I don't think the player would enter the beach by accident xD
I think part of my reasoning for that is just knowing there's a beach in that direction, but meh. Transition sounds tho... never thought they'd bother anyone. Well, I play games with no sound most of the time anyway.
As for the menu thing, yes it's very stupid but RPGM doesn't let us load the game from the pause menu by default. I'd need to add a plugin to fix that, but it stopped bothering me eventually. The best we have rn is the clunky solution of pressing F5 to jump restart the game back to the main menu.

- Not particularly worried about Steam right now, but I might try that once we reach v1.0!

- I'm never using AI, sorry.

- This game doesn't really have a main story. It just has a tutorial that locks you a bit during the first day, and at most you'll have areas like the beach gated behind having a swimsuit. The scene being seen by her dad is just a fun little extra for people who tried doing something "wrong". The game has a few of these. But I agree having repeatable content is nice, especially for a sandbox-ish game like this one. Later down the line I plan on adding a dynamic hangout feature for the main 3 neighbors at least, where you call a character, maybe pick outfits and walk around having fun. You can work for Betty forever, so why can't you hang out with the others forever too, right? ;)

Anyway, thanks again for the feedback! v0.05.1 (2 updates from now) will add a bunch of small things I've been promising for a while + things people suggested, so now is the best time to drop ideas like these! xD

If you see May's Summer Vacation on itch.io, DON'T DOWNLOAD IT!
Somebody else uploaded it and apparently it has crypto miner and AI trainer malware. I'm too dumb to verify it myself, so I'll drop the explanation the person who notified me of it did.

The game is already flagged on itch.io, but still up somehow. No idea how such a niche game got tangled in that but thought I should let yall know, especially since it's the first google result now.

Did you happen to see what their pricing scheme was? It is a fairly common hustle for a niche lewdy game to get a malicious reposting where they are offering the paid/support version for cheaper or with fewer hoops to trick people into downloading something that should stick out as too good to be true.

When I downloaded the "game" from Itch it was free. So I guess any money the scammer is getting is from people running it with the crypto miner running in the background.

My game is free anyway so I don't mind reposts. That's just a malicious scam tho, so I hope it gets taken down xD
Already reported it together with some people. Now waiting to see what happens.

This should be added as a warning in the thread's opening post.
