:oops: My bad. I totally missed the font properties in Settings. That would definitely do the trick.(y)
It's pretty easy to miss, to be fair. The subdued gray isn't really doing it any favors.

Took me a few days, but finally finished this the other day and I really love this. The attention to detail by bringing callbacks or parodies of actual sports analysts, college programs, coaches, etc. really grounds the story in a way to make it feel authentic. I can only recall maybe 1 or 2 other adult games that had American football featured in some way, but this here puts it in focus and ties it well into the overall narrative. As a longtime football fan, I really appreciate it.

The way the announcers, analysts and others talk about the sport feels real and shows great insight into the sport and great capabilities as a writer to convey all of that. Some of my favorites are how pro players are referenced and their skillsets are accurately depicted in various aspects such as when the MC is showing Ian how to create separation while in press coverage. Bringing up how rare it's for there to be white DBs at a D1 and pro level shows great insight especially since it is a common topic in the football community.

I love that there is a distinct voice to each character. They all feel real and the use of colloquialisms and such especially considering a lot of these characters are from lower-income areas really works and is done very well. The conversations with Underwood, Lael and Sammy felt raw and very relatable as someone who grew up and still lives in a very similar area and all of that was really well done. Only real issues with writing are minor typos or missing connecting words, but it's pretty incredibly done. The renders are beautiful and the character designs are nice.

Was curious how it would handle the whole racial dynamic involving the MC's crimes and such would be handled, and I feel it was handled fine. There are some tough topics here and I can understand why it makes some people uncomfortable, but these are real topics. Perception is a huge theme throughout presented in this story from the start. Lies and also assumptions based on who a person is such as the MC's ubringing, his parents, etc. The event that led to him getting arrested is at the focal point of a lot of this. Just because he attacked in self-defense against a black person, there are pre-conceived notions regarding him. The same would be true if the MC was black and his attacker was white. The conversation with Sammy kind of highlights this. No matter race, many people are in similar situations. Many good people are given bad cards, and have to do what they can to succeed. Even though there is one aspect of the political stuff I don't agree with, it doesn't really bother me since it gives some dimension to the story and grounds it to a familiar reality. These are the kinds of tough conversations someone in this position would talk about, so I do respect the writer for tackling them since otherwise, I don't think it would do the story, characters or real events like this any justice.

I just hope we get to see some football practices and maybe eventually some games.

Ivy is cute, hope we get to hang out with her some more. Without Renne next time, maybe.

The problem is that is only one tag for all trans and trans adjacent content on f95 and people are often dissapointed when searching games by that tag.

View attachment 2787917
Also, little Ian needs a a step-father asap:cool:
Not a ton in Episode 2, but they'll be spending a lot of time together soon. There was a bit of a hint dropped in this scene that'll lead to said spending of time. Not that she'll be particularly easy to catch.. :p

Why would it need a gay tag? MC isn't fucking any dudes, nor are they fucking him.
I mean even if ivan calls himself a girl, he is every much a dude with a dick and balls to show for it and there is an option to fuck him or even blow his very real cock,
That is the definition of gay thats why i asked but someone already answerd about f95 guidelines.

I thought that futa and trans were the same thing too (I am a straight male who never had sex education in school and also in my house it was/is forbidden to talk about these topics) and I've never met anyone who identifies as such either.
According to google "futa" means a true hermaphrodite, that is something that doesn't exist because it must have a vagina and a functional penis at the same time. "Trans" is male-to-female transition AKA shemale (in some states/countries).

Certainly shows promise, story and visually. Though, I will refrain from truly getting behind the game and dev sinces their body of work isn't that much (First game having only a couple of chapters, this being the "second" game) despite the promising outlook. Will also say that the whole moments of bringing of reality into the game interms of bitching about social medias, nazis, social issues does certainly take away from the story element in spots. Sure, I get it, having little easter eggs here and there does "work", yet similarly it can take away from the story experience, specially with it being the Dev bringing it up just to vent/parody their thoughts. Would consider toning it down just a bit. Also, the whole parody of naming certain people could be better. I mean really? Sich Naban? Couldn't go with Richard Soban? Really... could use improvement there to be frank.

That said, on thoughts on the lovely ladies... well... Can't really pick a true one.
-Diana is likely gonna go stabby stabby or set out house on fire... So... pass on Yandere Bitch (YB)there.
-Eisley is just alright, servile hole at best. Not really appealing. Cocksleeve One (CS1) is meh.
-Ivy looks promising and interesting. Would be curious how things go there. Power Bottom One (PBO) shows promise.
-Taylor the semi forbidden. Gotta love lusty teachers who will likely be with child. Lusty Teach (LT) will likely surprise us with child support.
-Yuna is waifu incarnate. Lotta promise and wholesomeness to her. Think I like the most so far. Sadly not as stacked, then she would be a Shortstack Waifu. Shorty (SW) will be marriage material.
-Kara, milf of love. Happy to be a step daddy to her kid, so long as she don't mind I'm caring for others. Milfy-san (MS) will be an interesting prospect.
-Maya the likely cougar. Downgrade from the Maya we are known for. Below average in looks, much like Eisley in prospect. Cocksleeve Two (CS2)for the time being if expected.
-Alaina the newbie. Likely a baby momma in the future, alright in appearence and personality. Future Mommy, (FM) time will tell how it goes.
-Ria the hate slut. Likelyhood of hate fucking her, won't be against it, specially when stealing her away from her small dick boyfriend. Hate Slut (HS) is gonna be a slave to her lusts.
-Swallows and Knockers... Can't help but to love fun time gals. Specially since Swallows seems to be pimping her galfriends assests. SnK will be a memorable experience.
-Soo the chaos demon incarnate... I like the appeal. Love her look, even if ehm... troublesome with footing. Siren might be a fun time down the future path.
-Fame has it all. Tats, hair, fun personality. Also likely a shaddy drug dealer on the side. Bitch Kitten (BK) is gonna be one for the sacking.

Just overall thoughts, take them as you will.

Hence my hesitancy to back the dev. The promise of the story, visuals, and game is there. But one games been abandoned, We Were Young is on hold and didn't have that much to it story and content wise to begin with before Fortune start this. So... I'm be semi opto here and say 40%, unless Fortune comes up with another project.

Not even going to waste my breath arguing with a closed minded person.

Other one? You mean the incest patch? Then, as far as I'm aware, it just changes the relationship with a character.

The snowflake patch takes out most of the political speak/jokes (short of anything that was rendered, obviously.) as some were being offended by them. Doesn't outright remove any content, just changes the speech/dialogue to a more neutral tone.

Mostly explained in the SerHawkes response below.

First game (the HTML one) was basically stomped out by Patreon. Should be fairly obvious why I stopped it. Not making excuses for it, but not really worth getting the account booted. As for WWJK, there's a long explanation post coming either tomorrow or the day after talking about it. But the short of it is that the game was in development for a little under a year and a half (before a rework) and slinking around a $130 - call it a plateau of sorts. There were a number of other factors, like being a few digits in the red with assets, and being harassed on other platforms. Called a cuck, had my twitter account reported and locked twice due supposedly distributing kiddy porn (which obviously isn't true as the account is still around.), but never said much for obvious reason. The toxicity of around the entire project really sucked the passion out of the project, as that's what it was. I knew it was niche going in (sans the multi-protag hate, didn't know that was a thing.), but eh. Again, no excuses. It's not abandoned, though. Just a step away, possibly until I can get a second rig going. It's basically more than half-written. Just needs rendering. But I get the hesitation, nonetheless.

The social media, and some of the social issues (e.g. racism) aren't going anywhere as they do play a larger role in the story beyond venting/jokes. Not virtue signaling or anything like that. But a lot of the other stuff will be pulled back a bit. And if it's still too much, the snowflake patch exists. As for Sich Naban? Honestly, it's not really a huge deal. Shows up for an otherwise short scene and disappears for most of the VN. It really isn't worth the time for a better name.
