Adoringfan Thanks for your rating man, I get some of your points.

I will try to work on the butt/thigh slider a bit on other characters. Aside from Mary they all use pretty much the basic butt and thigh. Regarding the eyes is just what I prefer on characters I guess. I'm not a huge fan of the usual big eyes you see in games using HS assets, that's why I made "smaller" but more "realistic" eyes in my opinion. Thanks for your rating though, I will try to give the player more meaningful choices in the future!

I like this game, but I am a sucker for this kinda setup. Some hopefully constructive criticism. As others have said, you probably need to code in either the choice of choosing the relationship with the women, or change them to land lady/non-relations and make an incest patch for places like this, because paetron is going to shut you down otherwise as it violates their TOS. Second, I feel like the choice are a bit limited and the dialog could use some more love drama/spice/character. Most of the choices seem strictly good/bad or romance/not interested. That said love the models and the animations are good for this type of game. Will be keeping an eye on it, good luck!

Thank you for your feedback! I'm looking for a way to make a patch for the game but my Ren'Py knowledge is still pretty bad. I'm currently looking for help regarding that :/.

Regarding the decisions: I have currently only the "love" route in mind, where you either try to build a loving relationship with the girl or you don't ( except with Fiona I guess, Mary will get a love option at some point.). But in the future I will offer different ways to play the game where love is not the only option.

Other games have it where each instance of either their name or relation is set as a referred to variable elsewhere in the code. Like where it refers to the MC's name that you pick at the beginning. Normally without the patch the variable is set to non relation, but when a patch is added it changes the variable to them being related.

Well done Killahseven! This is one of (if not THE) best 'prodigal son' type VNs out in terms of story line and characters.

I'm in a country that has a big problem with domestic violence. At least 1 woman a week is killed by her partner, 1 in 5 have been sexually abused, and that's in a population of 24.6 million - less than the state of California!
I'm no white knight, but I'm fed up with violent and abusive porn, because young men who are too stupid to tell the difference between porn and reality are taking their queues from porn and treating women like shit. A friend of mine is a sex worker (we have legal brothels here), and has told me of how many guys they have to forcibly kick out every week because even experienced full time prostitutes won't tolerate rough sex, uninvited dirty talk (e.g. "take it you whore") and they really, really hate, with a passion, being called a slut!

You've shown well in this story of how domestic violence and even emotional abuse affects people. The MC in this story is one of the first I've played that, from the start, treats the women with kindness and respect. Sure he's horny and thinking about how good it would be to fuck the women. Hell, any of us guys (and some girls) would in that situation! Nothing wrong with that, it's only natural. But this MC isn't a mental or emotional retard, he's not being a sleeze and hitting on every female regardless of who he's with, and he's not a mysogynistic arsehole.
I know this is all down to the game choices, but I'm happy you've chosen 'romance' paths, and not boring old done-to-death 'corruption' paths. It shows that being nice to women works well. Just like it does in real life!


One request though...
Please, please, please... stay with the 1st person view for the MC, and don't show his face!
You've done a great job on the women models, but I don't think there's anything anyone can do with the Honey Select men to make them look like they're anything but slimy, ugly, degenerate bastards. Whoever designed the Honey Select model sets must hate men!
IMHO, having to see the MC's face would ruin the immersion.

Man, thank you so much for your words, this means a lot to me.

I can promise you that I will never show MC's face. I'll do some 3rd person scenes ( like the hugging at the beach or hand holding with Sandra ) but I will refrain from showing his face from the front. The most you will see is the back of his head but never a full frontal or anything. I agree, Honey select males are very ugly, that's why I tend to avoid showing anything but parts of the body.

Thank you again for your feedback, your comment made me extremely happy!

No probs Killahseven, just giving credit where its due. You're kinda breaking the mold for this genre, which is needed. I've thoroughly enjoyed this game! You're doing a great job with it!

Thanks for the good news about the MC. I'm betting there's a number of us here breathing a sigh of relief at not having to see his face. :cool:(y)

Really like that one. MC summarising his day in bed is pretty useless imho though, I just skip through that although I usually read every line. But perhaps others like it.

Anyway, there is a missing picture, it's

So you mean the image is included? Because I skipped through them and didn't find it.
It is included yeah, she doesnt hold a phone she just changes her facial expression a bit. The phone one is a good idea though, I will add that for 0.4

I think you should stop adding new characters now, at least for a while. the pacing is good right now but you need to develop them more and spreading your time too thin is never a good idea.
