Alright, thoughts.
So it's not my favourite route, she's a bit forward here, I prefer her kinda naive and getting corrupted into stuff, but as long as it's a rocky road one then it's still spicy and worth my time. Also with how things stood by the end I think there's a lot of scope for exploitation, so I'm hoping it'll get pretty wild.
The dick mechanic I wasn't super thrilled by initially, especially as it goes up and down a fair bit in a way that's unlinked to your actions... but it's a manageable thing, helped by the fact that the "think unsexy thoughts" action doesn't actually consume time so it's fine to just use that to adjust downwards as you need (though maybe that needs to be clearer?)... but honestly it's probably better than just farming those kiss points by having to pick the "right" choices, here at least you can choose what you want then just fiddle the numbers to keep yourself alive.
Bit of a shame you can't see all the boss stuff and all of her social media stuff and it's better to just focus on one, but I suppose that's there as some folks won't want stuff kicking off too quickly so it's good to accommodate that.
The secretary doesn't look freshly turned 18, I thought she was a 40 year old woman at first glance... I kinda would have liked my reward for getting the questions right to be seeing more of what happened to her... also while she looks nothing like the girl in the game Iroha Natsume is the best JAV star, haha.
I was really glad to see the game updated, it's something I hope keeps moving forwards and gets completed even if it's slowly (though feel free to cut your work in half by ditching or postponing the vanilla routes, ha)... there was a good amount of stuff for one day in game and it's set up what's going to happen in the tease path nicely and I think the renders and stuff have definitely improved too.
I don't think I ever voted in that poll, but Innocent Angel: Rocky Road I hope is the next one that gets updated.
Thank you for the thoughtful and thorough critique!
The "unsexy thoughts" thing is something I wish I had several more months to streamline and expand. They were a lot of fun to do and I have ideas for several more. That said, I didn't like how repetitive clicking through them was. I tried to truncate them for repeat play-throughs, but Ren'Py wouldn't let me (I don't know why not).
As for the boss stuff/social media stuff, I hear you. I kind of wanted to entice players to play again on different routes. Originally, I had plans for the bride to hang out with Weiner and Westley too, but I couldn't get DAZ to work with what I had in mind. Without those options, the office stuff kind of feels a little unbalanced... but hopefully still fun.
As for the receptionist looking in her 40s... really? I'm surprised you thought that. My initial plan was to have that character be a kind of be a saucy experienced office honeypot, but after playing with the asset in DAZ, I couldn't escape the feeling like she looked too young for that. Soooo I adapted the story to make her a HS intern. Maybe her outfit makes her look more old. Oh well! She won't be wearing the same clothes (or much clothes at all
) when she reappears later in the game.
I also like Iroha Natsume, but I think she made her best work under the name Sarasa Hara. Definitely a timeless face!
Well, it's been a long time, but the update is here. Gotta say, it's super hot. I didn't think I'd like this one compared to Curious Student (still my favorite), but it was VERY good, especially all the office boss stuff, how we couldn't exactly see what's going on and let our imagination make it even stronger for jealousy. The only criticism that it got a bit too convoluted and sci-fi in the end, could cut like half of it and still get your point across.
Can't wait for the next update. Is it gonna be Innocent Angel day2 or?..
I hear you regarding the ending. It kind of kept going. I couldn't figure out how to move the characters from point A to where I wanted them to be at point B, so things definitely got convoluted and SF. But I was having a lot of fun (I confess to being self-indulgent) and I like the setup for GT-RR Day 3.
I haven't decided which storyline to work on next. I think I'll set up another poll. I'm still trying to figure out how to take down the previous poll, though
