Finally! After so many poor quality AI CG games that look more like opportunistic subscriber grabs then serious development, we now have a winner that not only works, but is actually top notch in quality.
Though My New Girlfriend is no visual novel - it's about as porn as a game can get, getting porn done right is a skill by itself and to do it with still yet to be matured AI rendering is ground breaking. No wonder the developer has amassed significant subscribers within a short time.
Story
There's no real story per se - basically MC has a new kinky girlfriend and is surrounded by a bevy of hot looking girls including his step sisters who are constantly teasing him with various kinks. Although it's early, the game looks to lean heavily on exhibitionism, Netorase (consensual g/f sharing) and perhaps orgies and FFM / MMF threesomes in the future.
If you are looking for a serious and realistic novel, this ain't for you. However, if you just want smut done correctly, then stay and enjoy. The developer adopts a refreshing comic book way of conveying the story i.e. frequent split screen strip narration, bombastic word art, facial close ups and short character sound effects.
Game Mechanic
100% kinetic novel with no choices, best to see this as an animated comic.
Background / Character Renders
Unabashedly 100% generated with AI, so if you are an ideological anti-AI gamer, then don't bother to even download. However, if you are curious to what AI can potentially offer to AVNs in the future, then give this a run.
The quality control is up to scratch; unless you make it a point to play "spot the difference" on every scene, the renders are mostly consistent and error free on a casual play through. I spotted no obvious art style inconsistencies, wrong fingers, contorted bodies etc. though some of the backgrounds still have issues with words in signages.
The color palette is bright, bold and spirited, very in your face manner so folks who are more used to standard 2D Koikatsu might take some getting used to.
Character Development
Very little, all the gals and guys are predisposed to sharing and having sex everywhere. They are props on a porn set and play their roles well enough. Again, don't evaluate this game as a visual novel and you'll be fine.
Sex Scenes
The true bread and butter of a porn game and My New Girlfriend excels among a sea of competitors. There are a lot of teasing scenes and when it happens, there is proper buildup with a combination of dialogue, sound effects, high energy music and hardcore visuals.
The most exceptional part are the animations - the game has probably the best animations among AI CG games so far. Although these are still limited to short loops of simple BJ and cowgirl scenes, they are smooth and vulgar, heightening the sexual energy.
BGM and Sound Effects
Full suite of high energy BGMs and sound effects are used consistently throughout the game and play a big part in building up the experience.
Conclusion
My New Girlfriend is a pioneer demonstrating the feasibility of creating an AVN game solely with AI renders. It shows that with careful training, quality control and augmented with suitable BGM, sound effects and presentation style, AI can do up something appealing, in a timely manner and be financially successful.
