The girl speaking portuguese got me hooked from the start (cheers from Brazil) and it's not a bad game by any means, interesting story and you wanna keep going but when every conversation turns into a monologue with excessive slangs the reading becomes pretty heavy. Great art and beautiful girls too. Guess it was my own fault for heaving high expectations for this one since the dev is mentioned and praised in the credits of so many other games I truly enjoyed. All the best of luck to him though, he seems like a good guy that helps others.

This game is making me mad so far. It is so good yet... Talk, talk, talk, all they do is talk.
And the worst thing (I hate when games have that), there is a "mystery story" but only player is clueless about what's going on. Say whatever you want but it's just bad writing pattern... Only player is unaware of the situation/history yet is forced to read all these cryptic dialogues which on top of that are full of slang and american football technical terms. I want to say this is one of the best AVN I played lately and most promising for sure but getting through all that talk is really tiresome... It's hard to read, even harder to understand and that really takes all the fun away.
I had similar problem with STWA: Unbroken or Summers gone. The former bombarded player with all these characters you would only know if you played other game from the same dev yet you were forced to make decisions from the start. There is also a mystery story but only MC is aware of it, others try to reveal it with makes it somehow acceptable since you are not alone in the dark... The latter? Almost the same story as Move the chains, MC and some characters know about his traumatic past but other characters try to reveal it so again, we are not alone in that. Here? It's frustrating, feels like every fucking person in the world knows about MC more than player so no one even care to ask proper questions and they try so hard to talk cryptic all the time about it...
edit: I've just read some of the reviews and I'm glad I'm not the only one here... Extreme slow pacing, very wordy writing, too much Americanisms and American football jargon, too many characters/stories to keep up...

I hate when visual novels have stories and words.
Are you sincerely annoyed that the story about the American football player has too many references to American football?

I knew such dumb comment will occur. That's not a point...
The point is that used language is very technical and first of all this game is AVN, not NFL manager. If you want to play "car racing game" and you have no idea about this sport, it would be easier and more enjoyable for you to play Forza Horizon or NFS than Assetto Corsa or iRacing. All the talks about American football could be presented in more caual way, make it simplier to understand for majority of players choosing this game.
I'm not in position to tell dev if game's theme is good or not, I'm just saying that choosing sport popular mainly in USA and using very technical jargon will make playing and understanding game much more difficult than it should. I'd like to think that I know english pretty well, well enough to comfortably watch movies or playing games in that language. Here I find it difficult, not only because of what I said above but also beacuse of heavily used slang/daily American.
There are similar voices in reviews section so it's not like I'm imaginating things. Dev can do whatever he/she wants and surely there are people who love it as it is, I'm just sharing my thoughts and giving my feedback.

The dev literally has it where you can hover over and click the slang and football jargon to see the meaning of the words/terms. I'm American, but I'm not really into football. I basically watch the super bowl and that's it. I also don't know many of the terms and the slang being used, but I still understood them from the descriptions the dev gave in-game.

Oh, thank god. I was really hoping some kind of change was being considered with that cute love interest's ears. Or at least maybe have her hair down more often in scenes, so players who hate gauging...don't have to see the brutal damage done to her pretty ears.
Also in real life, she would require corrective surgery just to undue the massive stretch damage caused by those huge gauges (yuck...not appealing at all for many).
Anyways really looking forward to the next release of this excellent title.
Best Regards

Just want to make a little update post on my health at the moment.
I've been experiencing some respiratory issues over the last few days that's making it hard to focus on working on the game. It's kind of hard to explain. Like I can't get a full breath, or at least the satisfaction of a full breath. I've been diagnosed with Reactive Airway Disease (basically a lazy way of labeling undiagnosable asthma) prior to this, but it's never been quite this bad. Unfortunately, I'm not currently on any insurance (related to job), but will be going to a quick care to at least get an inhaler until I can see a doctor. The lack of breath, though, creates a lot of anxiety. Which are resulting
The game isn't going on hold or being dropped or anything like that. At worst, I'm taking a few days off. The pace will slow down until I can get this under control. It's still being worked on, obviously.
Just wanted to put that out there for the sake of transparency.

I'd advise him to take this two Homeopathic medicines:
Dr. Reckeweg Aspidosperma Quebracho Mother Tincture Q
Dr. Reckeweg Blatta Orientalis Mother Tincture Q

I get the jargon usage, the over use does give off:
But hey, it is a well written game thus far as is.

I'm getting to the age where things take longer to heal than they do to get them, but I ain't that old yet.
Jargon as in the football jargon? Or more of something else? Can't really go halfway with the football jargon, though. I either don't use any and sound ignorant or use it all and try to mitigate it as much as possible via other means.

Just toss in a lot of "fucks', "shits" and "Christ on a bike!" and you're golden.I'm getting to the age where things take longer to heal than they do to get them, but I ain't that old yet.

Oh, a Dev that is still on this site after a release? Rare and delightful! Kudos to that! Glad to see my fellow degens haven't driven you off!I'm getting to the age where things take longer to heal than they do to get them, but I ain't that old yet.

Regardless, more so about football jargon and, I know, it can't be helped. Just have to throw a lot of info at the player. But it is well mitigated so the reader isn't left discombobulated... The jargon helper system you have going works well enough so my old brain can translate.
Now, back to reading. I need new reading glasses soon. Not even 30 yet, fml.

I've very much considered a few times, but I'm too stubborn for my own good sometimes. I have gotten a bit less active on the game thread, but stick around for bugs, questions, and the occasional ribbing.
There's not really much I could do about the jargon, I suppose it's just a side effect of making a game around such a specific topic.
