Not trying to shit on anyone's taste, but could we get an option to have everyone shaved at the beginning, similar to the pregnancy option?
Love the game by the way

You know, everyone else were very reasonable and absolute gentlemen, I on the other hand am going to be far more petty.

The vast majority of games already default to having all girls shaved with no option for that to be changed, all of us who prefer unshaved have to put up with being given no options in nearly all games. I wish people who prefer bald could learn to accept not being the priority in a few games

I'm old enough to remember it being very unusual for even a porn queen to be totally hairless downstairs. I think there was ONE...

Yes my stance is that the workload increase between a KN and a VN is what kills most games before they finish.

Well you're not wrong about workload increasing, if you are just telling a story with no variables, it's going to be easier to make than game that has variables for scenes.

Rendering is not the problem with the correct hardware. Posing is. Yesterday I rendered a 51 frames animation in 1h20 minutes. It took me more than 4 hours to pose it correctly.

I don't think there are "main girls" in My Dorm. For me, Samantha has the same importance to the story as Erika or Alexia. But if you mean the girls living at home and not being students or GILFs, yes, Daphne is the only one who hasn't had the opportunity to get knocked up. That was intentional on my part since I wanted her first time to be after Scarlett's. Those playing the inverse corruption path (and Scarlett's path) will understand why. There is a beautiful (for me) conversation about Daphne's choices from the start of the lessons until v.0.12 events, that sheds light on her character. And she needed Scarlett's date to happen to come out clean with the MC.
Since the Part 1-Part 2 split is a technical thing (keeping the game under 5GB free downloads/2GB Android apk limit) and not a narrative thing, I didn't care too much if her first time was on Part 1 or Part 2. I cared for it to be in the correct moment, and it will be in v.0.14.

The wait for Daphene is killing me, honestly cant wait for her.

I don't deny that this is true for most players. However I think it'd be better for the industry overall if devs just finished games. And then once they had it done, if they wanted to add choices, went back and did that after having a completed story.
So many games are subject to scope bloat cause most devs are not also project managers.

As a storyteller, I agree with you. It would be easier and quicker to tell the story that is in my mind without giving the player options. Write a classic novel where everything happens in the order I have thought of.

As a player, I disagree with you. Having some control over the story in a VN gives it a depth that a KN can never have. Also in a KN all relationships are forced on the player. Yes, it's the classic comic/novel/movie system, it works great for those media, but if I have a choice, I'd rather do it.

As a developer, it would be impossible. We developers are, in general, self-centered jerks (like anyone doing creative work). If we've done something one way, it's because we believe there's no better way to do it (or because we don't know how to do it better). If a KN takes two years to develop, for example, why is the developer going to revisit every situation where a decision could be added if the work as a whole is already perfect (in the mind of its creator)?
Also, you mentioned the term "industry". It means it's a business. What is the long term benefit to the developer to add those choices once the game is finished? What percentage of readers would reread The Lord of the Rings just because Tolkien added choices to it? I think it would be a pretty low number.
You also have to take into account, and for me possibly it's the most important reason, the exhaustion of writing the same story for a long time. I've talked to several developers who have been at this a lot longer than I have and they all agree on the same thing. There comes a time when you want to wrap up the project and start a new project where you can explore all the ideas you've had over the past months/years that don't fit into the current project. No one is going to want to keep getting bogged down in the same project to add options to it. You want to tell new stories, not keep telling variations of the same story.

Needs a better name, the acronym YTALAPKNU doesn't work (or YTALAPVNU for being a visual novel).

It almost sounds like Finnish!

The answer won't be easy until the next meeting between Amanda and Eva and The Family.

Amanda told The Family they would meet down the road when her supervisor thinks it's safe to disclose all the info. That would be in the next few days, although we will see Our Lovely Guardian Angels (OLGA) before that.

Hi TropecitaGames,
I have a question about the femdom tag. I haven't played some updates yet. I haven't encountered any femdom in first 2 or 3 updates. Is there any femdom scenes currently in the game or is it a future thing?

There are light femdom/maledom scenes in updates 0.6 and 0.9 ONLY if you peeped on Martha at the clothing store in 0.3.
