v0.2.7
First of all, I find some of the reviews to be unfair. A small team working with Unreal Engine to bring you a decent porn game so it will take time.
To all the naysayers I first saw this game when you couldn't do much else than walking around the campus after the train scene. Since then a lot of progress was done so new readers should have a look at the dates of the previous reviews before taking the reviews seriously.
Graphics: 3/5
While the overall look of the game is comparable or better than a lot of the mainstream games I see YouTubers fap around cuz it's the new hype there are a few things that still need to be worked on:
1. Clothes start clipping as soon as your character starts losing/gaining weight or muscle mass. This needs to be fixed sooner rather than later as all clothes present the same problem.
2. "Dynamic" bones need a bit of tuning. I am talking about the MC's breasts and cheeks. If you're not walking, so running, and fitness exercises them boobs look like they're going through a shredder and her ass is wobbling along like it's made of jelly). I would say that the ass should be increasingly wobbly at Fat 40-50+. Boobs and hair just need fixing, tweaking.
3. I keep switching between High Quality and Cinematic quality and cannot see much change either in the game's appearance or in the resources required to run the gams smoothly. Optimisation work ahead so I expect less content in the next 4-6 updates and more stuff like optimisation and tweaking/tuning to be done before they can focus on quests, story, skills, progression, etc.
The sound is ok, but pretty barebones now, can only complain that all shoes have the same walking/running sounds. The same sound applies to all surfaces (dirt, grass, pavement, wood, tilling) including no shoes at all. A few times I realised I have no shoes while I was running around exploring.No idea when I took them off. So this will need to be fixed. MCs sounds (the few that we have) are great so far but she needs to get a voice. I expect this will happen later on since they already gave MC a voice. Also, I expect that more music will be added and with better cell phones/smartphones you'll be able to have the tracks running while you're out doing your chores.
Gameplay:
Limited at this time. A few quests but still WiP but at least you can see some skin and where the game is going. Looking through MC's diary you can see there are a ton of skills and stats in there, and I mean A TON. This pretty much shows the road map of the devs although there are no timeframes on if/when these will be implemented (a few skills examples: makeup, actress, model, porn actress, prostitute, vaginal masturbation, anal masturbation, and a few stats: physical stats - str, endurance, etc., double penetration, incests? - probably a version for those that will pay for the $500 version on "buy me a coffee" or something similar, we all know Patreon got a big flash drive up their USB with regards to this topic). Gotta be hyped about all of these skills and stats, right?
N.B.: Skills and stats do not always work like in RL and there is no description of how this may work. For example, you can eat 3 whole pizzas in the morning and by early PM you'll start to be hungry again. Even so with a healthy diet of pizza and coke 4-5 times/day, my MC loses more weight when running to the shop than eating an inventory of pizzas. Cannot get her fat to go up at all no matter what. A tooltip may be needed to give some sort of insight into how skills work (or IF they work as this will be WiP for a long time to come)
One last thing I would like to add is that FAT and strength/legs/hands/press/etc should balance each other out. You cannot have max strength and endurance AND max fat at the same time. Probably will be sorted out later on.
Money: at the moment money is hard to come by in the game but then again this is what dorm life is like so not too bothered about the lack of it. I am sure this will be fixed as new activities are added to the game.
Daily needs: this was a hot topic if you read the forums. I think this will be rebalanced several times over the development of the game so not much to say other than it defo needs some looking at as it's not ideal currently.
What is to do in the game at this stage?
Short story long there's eating, sleeping, running and working out at the "gym", a few quests and a cleaning repeatable that will give you some money. If you finish all the available quests you will get a decent amount of money depending on your choices so not that bad (fatty quest+teacher quest +revenge quest = $$$). People that complained so far ar those that came in for a quick fap and got disappointed.
Really looking forward to the next updates, I will wait for more updates just to ensure where the game development is going and may become a patron myself.
All in all the game is a very ambitious project with a lot of sandbox and RPG elements. It will take a lot of time to complete if the dev team stays the same and if (God forbid) they do not split up and abandon the project.
The game is at 3/5 stars but I'm giving it an extra star for the potential to be one of the best porn games out there.
