The 2d models are clearly much better than the 3d models, but having both of them in there at once on the same screen is just strange to me. I think the game would be more fun with a female protagonist as well. Unclear why renpy was not used. An option to avoid scat & NTR would be very nice. Also, it doesn't make sense for the diaper girls to be happy about shitting their diapers. That is not something they should be "proud of" more something they should feel "humiliated" about. I have met a number of abdl girls. Some into scat, some not. Of the ones that would shit themself 0 ever were happy about it and have always acted humiliated about it.
Glad to hear people like the 2d sprites as they begin taking over the 3d placeholder stuff in the coming months.
The choice to add a mix of them in like that came from supporters, either seeing a character being updated much earlier but having to see 2d mixed with 3d or wait a long time for one big update. We feel that the small one character updates into 2d is pretty good even if visually distracting with the 3d placeholder sprites, as it lets us add their emotes in and everything more spread out rather than trying to tackle 10+ characters having their old sprites replaced with emotes, etc.
We're not ruling out the idea of a female protagonist, but currently it's something we're trying to figure how to fit it within the story as a option. (possibly could be an addon to the game as things get closer to being finished, take the role of a new female transfer student.) Before the game began it's process, renpy was considered but ultimately I found tyrano to be a bit more easier to deal with on some aspects. But it does have it's faults too, it's possible future projects could swap engines. The option to avoid NTR is in game currently (aside from one scene, but you choose one of six options), it's part of the main story plot but nothing like that shows up again that's directly linked and tied to the plot. Scat I should mention isn't directly showing it (aside from a diaper changing scene) but nothing more than that and we'll keep that in mind possibly choosing to look away during the moment it would show it during said scene.
During Chapter 1 without trying to openly spoil it, the game hints that things during that aren't exactly normal and there's some mystery behind those events that pop up later in the game as it's found out more. (Miki on the other hand is kind of an odd ball character who enjoys it, but she's the exception.) The other times the girls are seen using their diapers it's because it's required by the academy or something a little more is going on. (it'll make more sense as future story builds continue adding to the main plot)
what kind of ntr we have here ? netori or netorare ?
Sorry! I forgot there's a few different kinds of NTR.. It's mainly netorare (avoidable) but there's very little hints of netori based on player choices during the game.
I'll wait a few months for a build without all the "place holder" scenes. I wish it was in Renpy so someone could make a patch and fix the game to make Erika your real sister. The game seems promising though, I'll wait and see.
Sounds good!
right now we're currently going at a slow pace for CG scenes being replaced with 2d ones. (due to funding) But the sprites are taken care of and are on track for 1-2 new character sprites each month (roughly 1 new one per update). We do have plans for once the project is finished to add some after stories and addons to the base game, one of these will dig into the main character and his sister's past more than what will be told within the base game.
As long as theres plentyof clean diapers and not every diaper is getting uhm soiled instantly, im down!
Clean>Dirty (imo)
I´ll give it a try...
There's a good mix of clean vs dirty of course I won't lie and say it's avoidable content when dirty diapers show up. But we're for sure not trying to overload the game with scene after scene of dirty diapers and taking away from the main plot and character/world building, etc. Trying to strike a good balance of things.
What that means placeholders? they are scene is for patrons?
Currently the game uses the 3d models for "placeholders" be that as sprites or CG scenes. But it's nothing linked to patreon supporters being able to see the real CG scenes, etc. At most what is happening for supporters, is that the current released build for supporters has Erika's 2d sprites added. While 0.05 doesn't but this is due to the way the updates are handled and meant to be new content for those supporting the project till it becomes the next public build and unlocks for everyone else for free. The current patreon build also does have 1 new CG scene (2d art) that isn't in 0.05 but again it's not directly linked to "placeholders" It's just how we update the game and what new stuff is being added for supporters, etc.
There is generic placeholder screens that began popping up in Chapter 2. These are for scenes that don't really have big priority right now and it's a mix of dev time spent on "3d placeholder scenes" vs using time for new features or polishing things, as the 2d art will be taking over in time. (hopefully that answers your question!
