Chapter 1: Sunrise, which contains over 1400 renders, primarily focuses on establishing the setting for the story, as well as introducing a majority of the main characters and potential love interests.

The game features 8 main love interests, who will have complete branching stories and endings depending on the choices made throughout the chapters. There are also many minor characters whose relationships and stories can also be influenced by the choices made.

The complete game will contain 11 chapters. Chapter 2 is currently in development.
The dev has a plan, seems to have at least the backbones of a plot thought out, and has a large number of renders for a first release. This seems promising.

Best of luck to the dev!

Your female renders look great. Though, please consider posting a future tag list, adding that at the starting release can only increase interest and popularity with your project (by building a starting base of followers). As well, it can also deal with many of the same questions that will be asked in the forms... Will this project have a harem path / will it contain NTR, and will it be totally AVOIDABLE (and not just skippable...that method is disliked, because the event with the Li still happens.) / sharing / and any other fetishes, before many consider investing their time or money into it.

overall a great first release. characters are good, plot is decent, and MC seems relatable

Just finished playing. It's a decent start, mostly an intro to all the characters. By my count, 13 women and 14 men named so far. That's a big cast.

I really like the frat life theme, the large cast of characters fit the theme pretty well.

As feedback for the dev, I'd recommend a couple of things:
  • character bios. Like I said, at least 27 named characters so far (not counting the characters named but not shown), and from the preview screenshots, there's at least another 6 to be introduced.
  • transition scenes. You need a "1 hour later" or "At the classroom" type fillers in between your scenes. Without it, it gets really jarring. In one example, the MC is talking about studying to his roommate at 6pm. The next click, you get a minor jump scare representing a nightmare the MC is having, and then the next click it's morning.

Great start, I agree with jawz - Character Bios and Transitions would be handy. Also, a transparency slider for the text box would be useful.
