Ren'Py - Onhold - Nami, a Naughty Pirate [v0.16] [JayJo]

TL;DR - For AI, its not bad and is quite promising. 2 Stars since any explicit scenes are locked behind a paywall

-Too much inconsistencies for clothes changing. Like a thong bikini becoming regular or the fan skirt turning into a tight skirt among many others. Its Lazy.
-Mini game is horrible. Time needs a couple of milliseconds added as its easy to miss and the money earned needs a buff.
-Navigating is a bit annoying, maybe just a quick travel back to rest would solve it a bit.
-Big one is the locked content. Not sure if Dev actually posted this version or did it come from a random but it probably should be removed due to content locking where anything including clothes comes off you need the full version.

Overall its not really that bad, specially since its AI and i wont even add the slop word. Clearly Devs first game with all the jank. I understand he is also going on a break now as well from one of the posts but plans to come back to finish develop at some stage. Hopefully he develops it better when he returns and releases normal versions.

v0.15
If the game was intentionally released by developer like this then it definitely deserves a poor rating. It looks like they put more effort into setting up paywall/flags for free/not free content compared to actual proper game coding. It's filled with bugs and if you work past that using clues from the forum even then the game doesn't really have much content. It has some nice AI cg but it's equivalent to some random 20 page ai gallery on the internet rather than being a proper game or VN at this point. I would recommend skipping the current version atleast.

The game looks promising, there is a mix of things, styles, locations that at first glance seems inconsistent, and indeed it is. There are really so many graphic styles, in one scene the protagonists have light skin and in the next they are super tanned, the son seems skinny and calm, a second later he appears muscular and impatient. Let's say that there is a lot to review. It is clear that the author does not have a final style in mind, he is experimenting, he is trying various things, I am sure that in the future everything will appear more orderly and coherent, for now it is almost a good thing that everything is so chaotic. Almost. The story is intriguing, there is a moral dynamic behind it that is not obvious, I love the idea of having various points of view, but this also needs to be better defined. It is a demo, and it is fine that everything is like this. The game has great potential, and the graphics are not bad, the scenes are well-crafted, the writing is captivating and never superfluous. There is some work to be done, but over time this game could become very good.
4/5

Within the current version of the game (1.5), progress past the first few screens is unachievable due to a couple of bugs just teleporting you to other rooms. As such the game is in an unplayable state which is a shame as there could be decent potential here.
