Like the game so far, just starting day 3. Them girls do be some chatty Kathies though.

Just got to the "work in progress" screen. Saving there and not going any further for now, even though Julie is best girl and it would be my third "date" with her. Still, will wait until day 3 is complete.

looks very nice. but i think day 1 and 2 challenges should be swapped. was very disappointed by the beach volleyball considering how hot the nurse stuff was.
Also first scenes anal didnt really fit aswell, although it is very hot.

Could it be the minigames are hardlinked to framerate? The day 1 minigames were hopelessly unbeatable for me, even mashing with 2 hands. 120Hz desktop with VSync forced on at driver level.

I'll address this in my next update. I don't have a monitor with a higher framerate though so it will be difficult for me to test if it's working.

how do you hook up with tatiana & michelle?

They're not available in this update. There was a note about it just before the dates started. I plan to implement them at the start of Day 4.

 

[FapYeah]

After many players expressed the volleyball challenge to be weaker than the nurse one I'll go ahead and swap their order. It'll require some rewrites to keep continuity, so please bare with me. If I recall correctly, my early intention was to maybe have the volleyball scene be topless and focus a lot on the breasts jiggling. Somewhere along the way that got diluted as I was afraid to give too much away from the start. Now, if the volleyball game is moving to the first day do people think a topless approach is still required or should I leave it as is? Changing the art will also require quite a lot of work but it can be done if people feel it's worth it.

I believe the topless idea should be kept, unless it's too difficult to redo everything and cause delays in your planning.

Honestly, if it's going to add a lot of work to the pipeline, I'd leave the scene as is and just swap them if you have to. I'd rather we get to Michelle's date Day 4 and future updates sooner.

Personally I'd even leave the scene order as is. The nurse challenge being pretty intense right out the gate just adds to the surreal nature of the game as a whole.

JUST started the game. I usually avoid AI games, not out of an inherent dislike for AI art like so many ppl have, but because of how most AI-art games tend to go down - usually with the 3 letters of doom and/or some really grotesque proportions.

This game stood out for me straight from the banner. Then the tags. That's when I decided to check out the thread (I always do my due diligence and comb through a game's thread before actually trying it, as I LOATHE getting blindsided by content I detest).

What surprised me the most was how open, communicative and active the dev was on the thread. On top of that, the dev listened to all feedback - even some that were delivered in a "less-than-tactful-way" - and actually made changes that made sense for him in order to align his game with his target audience. I find that very commendable and pretty fucking bold considering that most devs (and some venomous "don'tlikeitfuckoff" guys) tend to double down against critiques and sometimes go out of their way to alienate those that have dissonant positions/visions/expectations regarding the experience that they had whilst playing the game.

I'm sure the dev has some love for his work - it's clear as day simply from seeing the art and animations - but he still understands that it is a product, and is doing his best to make it so the people that he is aiming at will like it. All without compromising his vision.

Fuck man, you earned my respect.

I'll play through the entire game now and if it's good, I'll make it a point of purchasing it. Either through Itch or Steam.


As for the dev's question regarding swapping the order of events... well I haven't gotten to them yet as I write this, but my position tend to always favor "min-maxing". I hope it's not something that takes away from progressing and adding more content. But if it's something that won't delay the next update for very long, then by all means tweak the game to make it the best possible.

Wouldn't that be weird though? They'd go topless on the first day challenge then fully clothed on the 2nd day challenge? Wouldn't that be kinda out of sequence? Would it be better if the host decided that the volleyball game was a success that they decided to bring it back on the last day but with the topless twist to make things harder (hehe) on the MC?

I would think that going topless would be less than hand jobs and that it would be an escalation going that way.

But I personally don't care what order the challenges are in. It's a test, so they'll try different things to get him to fail. People would fail for different things, so I don't really see it as getting harder, but rather trying a different possibility.

I like your idea to try it again with bouncing naked boobs though.

 

[Paarl]

WTF? MAN why are you make a fkng mini game so hard? 10seconds pressing the spacebar?

 

[Ka1tzer]

Some sprite issues during the hospital challenge. Has this been reported yet?

Is there a soundtrack list anywhere? I honestly find myself distracted from reading the text because I am distracted by the songs (in a good way)!

 

[Aretak]

I'm sure the game is lovely, but I need more of that banner in my life...

 

[josefwest]

the animations should be longer

 

[drMAD]

Oh, okay, yeah. Just played through the third date with Julie. Sorry, I wasn't expecting one of the SWEETEST AND MOST ROMANTIC SCENES I HAVE EVER SEEN TO BE IN A FRICKING PORN GAME! And that beautiful song just made it perfect. I mean, of course it was followed by a super-hot sex scene (For which the song, while still beautiful, was less fitting. If it was sweet and gentle love-making, yes, but it felt a little off set to hardcore anal. Not a complaint, just a note).

I seriously hate that the art is AI (even if it is probably the most gorgeous AI artwork I have ever seen), but the writing and soundtrack are good enough for me to overlook that part. Other than that I guess my only real complaint is that it feels rushed. I am not exaggerating when I repeat that third date with Julie is absolutely one of the best romance scenes I have ever seen in any form of media, but it felt a tad unearned to have it on only the third date. I know it is probably never going to happen because of the amount of work involved, but if the game was lengthened to the point that that scene took place on something like the tenth date with a lot more building up (and while I'm dreaming, if an actual artist was hired to come in and redo the artwork) this would be 10/10. As is I might leave this game on my HD for a while just so I can rewatch that scene when the mood strikes me. Oh, and I want to buy the soundtrack.

Thanks a lot for the nice words. You've got it spot on. I work in game development irl and receiving feedback/ criticism is part and parcel with any creative endeavor, luckily I'm used to it and learned how to filter out what's useful from what's not. It makes sense to listen to feedback if it makes the game a better product for the players and already I feel this game is better because of it.

Thanks for reporting the bug during the nurse section. I've figured out why it's doing that.

I don't have the songs anywhere else but you can take them from the audio folder if you want.

Wow, I didn't expect Julie's date to go down this well. Thanks.
I understand your dislike for AI art. For context, I'm a professional 2D artist myself, which might make you wonder why I'm using AI at all. The reality is that AI has already become integrated into many studios across the industry, and I've had to integrate it into my dayjob. While I recognize the irony of my situation, I simply don't have the capacity to create everything from scratch for this project.
Hopefully you can tell there are hand painted elements and where there's been effort put in. Cheers!

EDIT: Oh and yeah, I get your point about the romance feeling sped up. You're right that it's way more work to extend the build up to something like 10 dates and unfortunately this scope is beyond me. I've already struggled to write all the scenarios that fit into the existing 5 days haha.

This pilot is flying a commercial airliner, so there is absolutely zero reason for him to be wearing a military-style helicopter helmet.

This man is doing it purely for the aura farm and I love it.

 

[SamualHand]

Changing the art will also require quite a lot of work but it can be done if people feel it's worth it.

I'd just swap them and not worry about the topless aspect. This way things have a more steady progression.

Also, on an unrelated note, I'm really enjoying this story. Just got to day 3 and the writing and characters are great. Good mixture of humor and seriousness. Keep up the great work
