Not that it much matters, but a word or two about endings.
This is the second AVN in the past couple of days that ended with a whimper. I realize many will give a proverbial pat on the back to the devs for finishing the game, given that so many AVNs are prematurely abandoned. Still, that should be no excuse to ignore a rule in art production that is almost sacrosanct.
Before I got into video production many years ago I was a photographer. To be a commercial photographer attempting to sell one's talent and body of work, one had to have a portfolio. There were two rules in creating a portfolio: 1. The first picture in the portfolio was the second best of the entire collection. 2. The last picture of the portfolio was the best picture. This same general rule applies to other art forms such as movie-making or writing. The last impression one has is usually the most important and we can all think of many movies, books, etc wherein the ending left us speechless, in awe, moved.
It's no surprise that the developer's of most AVNs, especially ones who create harem-dominate games, are not attuned to these rules and are found lacking at building tension and creating climactic endings. But what a waste to seemingly not even try to get to first base with an ending.
To put it more crudely...someone sat on a whoopee cushion.
