    Very nice introduction. I give it 4 stars for now.

    Pros:
    • Love the detail and slick UI. Most Ren'py games on here never vary from the stock menu. It's refreshing to see a Dev with some programming skills.
    • I really enjoy your character renders! They have , well... 'character'. Please don't be pressured by the vocal majority to dumb them down to cookie-cutter bimbos. Even the MC looks fine to me. Not every college freshman needs to look like he just graduating cub scouts. Too me, the MC looks like someone with Italian blood who was probably made to earn his allowance long before he turned 18.
    • I like how you can influence the story with detailed choices like picking your own classes. It will be fun to see how that works out. (I picked my two main courses based on how to get as many different female teachers - Humanities and Business gives you 5 btw, haha)
    • It's good that you added save naming. I think this game is going to be one we have to make lots of saves on, so we can pursue the different paths.
    • The Tutorial and Help system are very handy. I plan on playing Easy for now then restarting and doing Normal when more updates come out.
    • Trophies are interesting and fun
    • The whole developing a relationship with an online gamer is kinda unique. Nice how you incorporated that.


    Cons:
    • The Event and Free-Roam are a little confusing. For example, when you get that main event choice of [Coopers House - Fitness Center - Mall] there's nothing to suggest that you can only go down one event path. I thought I did something wrong when I chose one of them, then ended up at the End of Game. I get it now that you really need to save those important choices, but some better text guidance might be helpful
    • Very little content so far, but that was explained by the Dev. Notes.


    Suggestions for Content:
    • I'd love to see (in the "patched" version of course) some M/D/MC three-way action. Even better.. when M or D corrupts the other to get them involved.
    • Make a story fork that involves some online action. Maybe the MC meets a camgirl on his PC and then discovers that she's somebody's sister, daughter, schoolmate, what have you ...
    • Music would be a nice addition. Not sure if that was planned already as there are some sounds in game.
    • Break the Yoga cycle! Please God.. not another round of Daz3D Yoga poses with the same tired cliches! I'd settle for a room full of MILF's in ratty old nightgowns having a Tupperware party and getting drunk, lol.

    Anyhow.. this one is going in my Watch folder. Look forward to your progress.
