Voting results are in for the Samarah choice! Interesting, 60% if users opted to kill her while 40% of users spared her, meaning the decision is a bit more split than some people initially believed (myself included). Excellent job BuuPlays for implementing such a divisive choice!

I wouldn't say the story is wholesome, but rather gets you invested into it's characters with adequate screen time and well written dialogue. The undertone is a bit more insidious as some of the plot developments are a direct result of the MC's main goal (avenging his parents). All of that is drowned out by the interactions you have with Eliza and Borri in the first 2 chapters.
who's samarah, i dont remember her

Hmm. It's a promising start, but there are too many problems to give it 5 stars. I'd give it a tentative 4 right now, but that'd lower its rating, so I'll just wait.

There are definite plusses: the writing is good (although I spotetd a few typos), the girls are different and interesting, and quite attractive, and the story is interesting. I'm much better at writing criticisms, to be honest:

Obviously, I'm not the dev, but I don't agree with some of your criticisms.

-Some breast shapes are impossible
It's literally a fantasy game with goblins, fairies, magic, angels, etc, but someone having unrealistic titties is too much? This is just silly.

-Alice can't be in love with the protagonist because she was only 10 when she thought he died.
I strongly disagree that 10 year olds can't fall in love with each other, or at the very least develop a strong affection, they may not know what it is or how to act on those feelings but it can (and does) happen. You need to remember that they're from a small village and spent a ton of time together. People being hung up on a lost loved one is also hardly unheard of, if your best friend/crush dies and you're virtually alone in a small village, it's not at all unreasonable for her to pine for him, especially since there was no body, so she could hold out hope that he was alive. But more important than all of this, is simply that her enduring affection is romantic. There can be limits to how unrealistic a story can or should be, but I hardly think that this crosses that threshold, or even comes remotely close.

As for the Harem path(s), I'm pretty sure that it's more or less automatic by pursuing multiple LIs, but, as far as I recall, no harem variables have been introduced as of v0.3.3

Can anybody tell me if Flynn ends up being Kelly if you don't ? I'm kind of getting that impression.
I'm on her route so far but I would not mind giving the guy a win if that's actually a thing.
I haven't seen how she is when you're not on her path, but she doesn't even particularly like him, I think it's fair to say that she tolerates him. Additionally, people generally don't like to see a LI end up with other guys, even when they aren't on their route, so I'm going to go ahead and say that's a 99% chance of not happening. I wouldn't mind a side character being introduced specifically as a LI for Flynn because he's a good guy, but it would be distasteful to pawn a rejected LI off onto him.

A: it's a human whose breasts I'm complaining about. B: it's not an attractive shape. It's really wierd. They could be the shape of the Washington Monument, but I wouldn't be a fan of that either. If the reason for the shape is because the character got a boobjob, then it's plot and character at the cost of attractiveness. Here it's not.

I strongly disagree that 10 year olds can't fall in love with each other
In the US, 10 years old is elementary school. I remember a bit about elementary school. Yes, people had crushes, often foolishly mistaking them for love, but they didn't last 10 months, let alone 10 years. 10 year olds can have affections that they perceive as strong, and humans can remain in love for many years, but 10 year old humans can't do both at the same time. My experiences tell me that that is not plausible.
As a result, it makes the character unbelievable, thus disconnecting them from the audience. That is too unrealistic, even for fantasy, since it harms the viewer's experience.
As I said, "there are plenty of other ways for them to get set on a romantic path," and this one, which seems completely implausible to me, is thus quite poor.

-If the problem is that they're unrealistic, she could just make a magic titty alteration potion, problem solved. Except your complaint isn't that her tits are unrealistic, it's simply that you don't like them. To which I would say, just ignore her then, I'm pretty sure she's not even gonna be a LI.

-We're not talking about a normal modern day situation, we're talking about a relationship that's happening in what is essentially a small medieval village. Alice has like 3 friends her age, one of whom is her best friend/crush, who mysteriously disappears and now she's essentially alone. Who is it that she was supposed to move on to? Flynn? He's basically the only other young guy around, and he's MC's cousin. I'm sorry that you don't understand sentimentality, but once again, this is very much a "you" problem, not a writing problem. To be clear, this still wouldn't even be a problem if it were in a modern day setting. Some people are simply more sentimental than you.

Congrats, you're last few posts are so idiotic I actually thought I'd reply because I'm out of reactions. You should write a pediatric psychology book, as you're so obviously an expert in childs feelings and emotions...
Wow, what a thorough rebuttal. I suppose it's inconceivable to you that someone has experience as a human that disagrees with yours.

(Wow, fuck you too.) I have sentimentality, feelings, emotion, etc. (I once longed for a girl 4 years after we went separate ways.) I just have a sense of reality. The village may be medieval, but the people are still human, and ten year old humans do not behave like that. And "moving on" doesn't always have a "to".
Fiction, whatever the setting, fundamentally deals with human emotions and experiences. If human characters behave in ways that humans simply do not, it detracts from the story. I'm sorry if that's over your head, but that's very much a "you" problem.
Dude, you are literally just wrong. People absolutely can, and do, act that way, even at that age. You are saying that it is unacceptably unrealistic that someone who experiences traumatic loss due to the sudden and mysterious disappearance of the person she cares about most, perhaps other than her mother, holds out hope for his return and pines for him, while she is virtually ALONE (you really don't seem to grasp this part, in particular) and hasn't yet moved on from him at the ripe old age of about 20?

Happy Friday everyone!
This update is mainly targeted towards Kira content and I understand not everyone is interested in our red-headed pirate, hopefully you will still enjoy the update.

I'm already deep into development of the upcoming December update which will be roughly 3x the size (900 Renders) of our regular updates (300 Renders).:coffee:
In December our pirating adventures will come to an end (for now). We will finally set foot on dry land and catch up with everyone.

Cheers!

Why the hell is this game just about those fucking pirates now? every update is the same thing with the same girl, I choose to ignore her and they keep giving us hundreds of romance choices over and over again holy shit, this game was so good at the beginning now it's just another one to skip.
The game is "about the pirates now" because that's the current storyline, which is introducing the Pirate LIs and will lead to healing Eliza.
