I don't think Killer7 is looking for a business and marketing advisor right now. Especially one who doesn't know the difference between to and too, between lose and loose.

I had to see who was saying what since he's on my ignore list, probably for the same reason he's exhibiting here: some folks just don't understand what the "N" stands for in AVN.

 

[Killer7]

Yes, My Twin is much better than Anon. Are you likely to swap out the "Anon" phone images in the future?

Unless we bring Thomas in from Grandma's House, Bethany is not very likely to have "a bun in the oven."

Not sure yet, I'm using an app on my phone to make these calls.

And regarding Bethany... Never say never .

Bethany is a hottie

Good update that left me curious to see where the story goes now. The hallmark of good writing when you're left looking forward to more.

Finally finished the new update (limited play time) and

HOW DARE YOU END THE UPDATE LIKE THAT?!?!?!?! *dies*

I loved every minute of it, of course. And the twists and turns were brilliant (though I was kinda hoping that the end of Mike would play out a bit different)

As I see it, there were only two appropriate places to end the chapter. Where he did, or a few scenes before. I prefer ending at this point (at the resolution of the three primary challenges, leaving others for next time)rather than cliffhanger that resolved nothing.

I compared it to the ending of the first Star Wars film. Death Star dealt with, Tarkin removed, and the heroes back together. Not everything was resolved--Vader got away to be a nemesis for another day. Not to equate Jessica with Darth Vader, of course. Of course, if we do want to consider the analogy, who will be the "tauntaun" the MC finds himself warm inside first next chapter?

Exactly. I do get a bit frustrated when people consider all AVNs to be "porn games." That is such an inadequate label for many of these stories.

There are so many people who come in here wanting developers to change their work to accommodate them. At least most of them are honest in that it is about their kinks, their fetishes. The people who pester a developer because they feel their ideas would make the product more marketable sound like they're only trying to come up with an external reason. Some may genuinely believe they have the perfect marketing strategy, My advice to those people would be to make your own AVN/porn game.

Not sure yet, I'm using an app on my phone to make these calls.

And regarding Bethany... Never say never .

Given the events of MNF, I can believe that.

Any father- daughter action yet?

And what is so important about the spelling for any one not native english or american? I think I do ok as it is my second language, and it is also irrelevant to my opinion on a verry good game/story that can be a little better, as I wrote.

 

[Rex72]

This is a very long, convoluted, and poorly written "critique" considering the main thrust of it is "your story is too verbose and you should make it easier for us to get the game so you know how many more people play your game without paying for it."

BTW:

About your last paragraph: Of course you, here on a pirate site, prefer F2P over paying for something someone put their time and effort into. And of course most people prefer that, but did you notice that most of the biggest F2P games that do the best cost the most money to enjoy at the top level?

Also, as for knowing how popular the game is here, Killer7 has control of the thread, so pretty sure he can track all that stuff anyway if that interests him.

How many threads you follow doesn't change the fact that you're informed when updates happen on each thread by the name changing, so it's on you to pay attention to when the notification that the update has been posted arrives. If you think F95Zone should implement something more penetrative, so EVERY GAME you follow actually sends out a special notification when that OP is updated, that's not something to post buried in a ramble on one game's thread, that's something to post in the F95Zone suggestions thread (and considering they're REMOVING stuff that gets put in those OPs (compressed links for instance), I highly doubt they're in the mood to add anything right now.)

3) First line in the dev notes: This is a story heavy visual novel. Yes, a story-heavy story can have too much redundant chatting, but the fact that you follow your initial "complaint" with overly-verbose rambling about multiple unrelated topics makes me wonder at the veracity of your argument.

4) Another one for the list ...

You may be well versed in the workings of f95, as you can see by my stats I am not, nor am I a pc expert. I hoped the creator would read that I like what they did and had a opinion on how I felt it could be even better, I made no demands on anything, just requests.
I do not use social media at all so keeping track on multiple threads would be difficult for me, sorry if I wrongly put to much in to one thread.
I have no objections to pay fair price for finished products, I just dislike paying over and over for something that only may come if it gets done eventually, to me that feels like a ripoff waiting to happen, after all several games have gone orphan/abandoned here. I´m not looking to employ creators just to buy good products, I hope you can understand why I se them as verry different things.
Ps. I am not being sarcastic this is honest opinions.

so far ive played until the MC goes back to his house and my god this is the best VN ive played to date.

 

[BigJeff4]

[BigJeff4]

fair enough lmfao

 

[Elhemeer]

Amusing, but it's actually the answer. K7 does it in both his games. He makes more fun of it in this one. (Most of his 4th-wall humor in MNF is about the lack of people around ...)

You don't want him to look like that anyway, right?

If I must complain at all it would be that the story is often to verbose, to much filler vs actual story moving forward. I think it would be as good or better if it was 1/4 shorter and would loose none of the parts that make it a verry good story, from what I read here many would agree.

And it's where you're totally wrong, while proving that you aren't at all qualified to judge the game.

Oh, of course it's a verbose game and it have what I would usually qualify as too much inner thoughts. But here they fit perfectly the character and situation, especially since, unlike in too many games, they aren't here to state the obvious. What they are sharing isn't ideas or intentions but feelings.
Of course, some times a scene can feel like a filler, not really adding to the story or character background. But those scenes are the reason why people get attached to the characters, growing feelings from them.
Remove those, and you would end with a boring average story without a soul.

Because a soul is what this game achieved to have. Slowly but surely Killer7 found his style and pace... hmm, no, "rhythm" would be a better word here. The ping pong when you're in the house, when even characters who aren't in the frame starts talking, inserting or not in the discussion, is like a melody. Each one is an instrument playing its note at the right time.
It make the story living, and I really mean "living", not "being alive" or "looking living". I'm particular and I know that I clearly haven't felt the story, especially this update, in the same way than most players, but I'm sure that I'm not the only one who feel that way. It's just that, being a widow, it resonated stronger in me than it probably have with other players.
I'll not hide it, the 51yo grown man I am felt tension and fear during all the update and was near crying, of happiness, when Anna hand started to move. And all this is thanks to Killer7 writing, thanks to all those parts of the game you clearly see as boring and useless.

It's weird, I know, being happy for a purely fictional character... No, what am I saying, not one character, all of them. It's not just for the MC who get back his memory and wife that I'm happy, it's for all of them, who get back a father/brother/lover/son as well as a mother/sister/daughter in law. It's what those thoughts and "useless fillers" did, making us want for this to happen, not just because it would be good for the story, but because it would be good for the characters.
