I always wondered why that appears so often. I mean is it a fetish of so many Devs? Is it just blind following of something of a tradition of porn games? Is it an odd way to introduce something lewd before the real deal kicks in? Never heard a dev explaining the reason behind that before. I'm kinda curious.
Just a cheap way to show some flesh at the beginning of a game, when characters still dont have enough trust between them neither some relationship started. Same with the "shower peep".

Something that gave great fame to Lewdlab with DoD because showed from the start he could create great female renders. Now trying to use the same trick it feels out of place and overused. Everybody knows he is great with renders, not need to start the game with something like that because storytelling related dont have any sense.

BaDIK - good writing. Good characters. Slice of life.
City of Broken Dreamers - Story driven. Good universe building. Realistic characters.
DeLuca - likable characters. Nice backstory. Competent MC.
Primal Instinct - amazing "cinematography." Interesting characters. Mysterious story brewing.
Heavy five - I'm behind on playing this game, but the first release was already real quality. The lore of the universe seen through the ship's console and things like that really add a nice touch. Character behaviors that reflects how you treat them.
Becoming a Rockstar - MC can be a douchebag, but he is generally competent and is pretty "cool." Good set of characters. The girl across the street inviting a stranger into her home to fuck her was a bit random and too unrealistic, but that scene was hot as fuck lol.

I'm sure there are other gems.

Then there are games that focus on fetishes. Japanese NTR stuff. Corruption. The Tyrant. Black/Anime Lilith games. Etc. You won't find amazing writing in most of them, but if the kinks are right for you, you can treat it as a fap game.

I will get around to playing the recent updates, but as far as I've seen MP has no identity. Incest is not even a fetish at this point. Its so overdone that it needs something extra. Maybe an interesting story developing like Primal Instinct or Love and Submission (rip). Or maybe something that just takes the depravity and dials it up like Corruption (this one is getting real old at this point though). Not for me personally, but others like a good romance involving incest. Maybe something like Dreaming of Dana - I did enjoy that one.

Anyways, basically... I think what people want these days are straight up fap games that delivers on their kinks, or a good story with atmosphere and some mystery, or amazing characters that are written intelligently. None of that "Oh my god... I'm hugging my mom and her breasts are touching me... I am a shower peeping virgin asswipe of a MC. I will molest them in their sleep for no apparant reason and build up the lust points. I am a nice guy though." What you need is realistic actions from characters if you are trying to make a serious game, or outlandish porn logic in a faptastic game. When you have retarded characters inside a game that takes itself seriously, it just becomes a pile of turd.

Adding a side note on Melody which seems to be popular but I find pretty dumb. This is a game that suffers greatly from wooden dialogue. Characters have zero personality that sets them apart. They all speak in the same monotonic, formal, robotic way. MC seems like the biggest nice guy(tm) ever. One thing this game does the best out of anything else I've tried is the outfits. Everyone has a normal wardrobe and change outfits everyday. That was so refreshing when I first played Melody.

edit: added Becoming a Rockstar. And some quips about Melody.

You left the best of the bunch imo: Sins of the father. In a balance between story and quality of images, best game so far and worth of much more recognition than it gets. Only game I am patreon and waiting for next release even with anxiety. And it includes REAL game decissions, something +90% of developers dont know how to fit in properly.

Other game with a lot of future that will become favorite of everybody in a few releases -if they keep same quality and solve some minigame problems- will be Come Inside.

Here's my compressed version.

Note: This is an unofficial modified version of this game so if something goes wrong it goes wrong ;)

Image/audio/video quality is reduced to make this smaller. This is not a perfect process and sometimes can break a game. You've been warned so no complaining.

Damn the main character in this game is a douche. I don't wanna help him get some pussy. And that the girls find him attractive is just insane.

Hryme, the protagonist is not a jerk. This is a young slacker from a wealthy family who does not know what to do, as he does not need to work for food. Here he draws on all sorts of adventures from boredom. Who would you like to hear about? About the miner? The construction worker? The lives of ordinary people are monotonous and no one is interested.

He is an intolerable and immature prick with no regard for anyone else. That is far from just being a bored slacker. It is possible to have adventures without acting this way. I doubt we will agree here.

I to at the beginning feel that the MC is a douche bag to the 2nd degree but this last update seems to be changing him a little, to a more caring type of person.
We will just have to wait and see what happens next.

Hryme, the good guys are heroes only in melodramas. In other cases, very bad guys rule. And in porn the main course is bad, because it's porn, which society condemns. What should a good guy do in porn? Only to restore order, it is also necessary, but it is boring.:)

Everyone has their own opinions about the MC and why he is the way he is, but many people here are acting like this was some huge curveball thrown in last minute. Doc Sin has been pretty transparent since the get-go about Connor's mannerisms/attitude. His own words from the reveal post for the MC were literally -


"Midnight Paradise - Main Character
Here's the main character for Midnight Paradise!
He's cocky, charming - and kind of a douchebag! He's a college student who will be returning to his hometown after encountering a series of pitfalls in his life.
He will be evolving throughout the game both personally and physically.
I hope you like the dude because you'll be guiding him through some exciting situations and (hopefully) to great pleasures in this game!
"

His undesirable traits were intended and through our choices the aim was to mold him into a more stand-up individual. Not only in this post, but Sin has recited this sentiment a handful of times on discord and patreon. All this shock and awe surrounding him seems a bit unnecessary to me.

There is nothing wrong with a docuhy MC. He is obviously an entitled rich douchbag that had everything handed to him. There are still ways to make this kind of character likable enough. The MC in Dreaming of Dana was pretty much the same entitled prick with rich parents. He never came off as retarded or incompetent though. MC in MP has the mind of a 14 year old. Actually the MCs in these two games have pretty much the same circumstances and character traits. One actually comes off as "cocky, charming, douchbag" while the other just comes off as a juvenile, incompetent, teenager with raging hormones. Its so sad reading the internal monologues of this MC.

I actually prefer "evil" MCs cus it opens up more kinks that I like. I don't even particularly mind night molesting if its done with a purpose, narrative wise or character development wise.

I wasn't attempting to make a case for including a douche MC being perfectly fine in these games or not. My point was people are acting like they've been blindsided by the demeanor of this particular one when the "warning" of potentially unsavory actions was made readily available before the game even launched.

I've never played Dreaming of Dana myself so I can't speak intelligently about the MC there, but it sounds like we're veering off into the "who's the more talented writer" territory, based on your comments. Sin's mentioned on more than one occasion that his skills in this department are his biggest weakness and I would say most don't play his games for the exposition. Improvements can def be made to the overall dialogue, no doubt there. But even if there was a writer talented enough to make night molestation somehow relatable, at the end of the day it's still a revolting act that should prob end with the perp being incarcerated. You can throw some lipstick on it and introduce some justifiable cause to help soften the blow, but at the end of the day it is what it is.

I like the MC being how he was created. He is not perfect, but you can help him become better. Well, not really at the moment, because all the criminal activities and pervy thoughts, but I feel it coming. He is not a bad person, but he is not really a good guy either.

It could become a non-traditional redemption story, or if the MC was to become some perverted bad guy, it would make sense too. I hope for more options in the future.

Only thing that's kinda bad is what Desmosome said, that the dude is supposed to be in his mid 20's (my age), but sometimes thinks and acts like he was 16. I can kinda understand that he wants to still be a teenager, because I sometimes wish I was 16 again, in high-school, with no worries, and not working shitty jobs because I have to pay for attending University. :D
