Mild spoiler for the pledge week?cicadaNGB
How is this pledging going to be ?
From the sound of it the MC has to have sex with whomever they tell him...are these sex scenes forced, or do we get a choice to refuse them, maybe trick them or something along these lines ?
I honestly really dislike forced scenes, especially with slutty girls, like from that party/slut sorority (which includes Mia, if she wants to join them).
What about a perspective like this. How much is the player forced to watch the sex of the side characters? Personally, I turn around at that point and walk away. I have no value for the side character if I'm forced to watch their sex. And I don't see the point of that in terms of the story either. I also watch the side characters' sex scenes through NTR glasses even though they are side characters. I'll stop playing pretty quickly at that point if this thing is forced.Mild spoiler for the pledge week?
For all scenes in the game there will always be a final, definitive 'do you want to do this?' choice before having sex with someone. It won't be worded like that, but you'll always have an opt-out. Just in case people accidentally make the 'correct' choices to go down a path that they didn't want to.You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.

There are no negative feedbacks. Just the whining brigade sweating droplets at the mere notion that they are not the only male character in the game. I also think the dev shouldn't waste his time justifying himself to each of them when his stance is cleared, because unless he plans on removing every interaction between other characters including women aside from the MC, they will always find something to cry about.I'm not saying that the dev should do anything, but myself, in this situation, with this level of negative feedback, I would redo the whole game from the beginning. There seems to be a lot of borderline "stuff" that can turn from a small thing into something that drives away a lot of players. At that point everything is already lost and redoing it is no longer relevant. But the dev does as he pleases. This F95 is one of the biggest springboards in this area and "burning" this forum will never be reasonable.
I think you are being excessively dismissive. I get it, but, tone it down a bit, just sayin'...There are no negative feedbacks.

Calling it a "mutilated story" cuz it didn't cater to your taste seems excessively dismissive to me.I wish you good luck on this project, it isn't "exactly" for me, but, may be I can still enjoy a mutilated story.
Whose getting angry? All I see are people having a discussion about things. No one has attacked the dev, or anyone else. It's been pretty calm. So, you may want to reassess what you think is people getting angry.Calling it a "mutilated story" cuz it didn't cater to your taste seems excessively dismissive to me.
But honestly though, the people that need to tone it down are the ones getting angry because more than 1 male character exists in a college-based game that focuses on fraternity and sorority life.
In any case, even though I prefer harems, I'm not against the "pick 1 girl" path. I just hope that the MC gets to sleep around a bit and get to know them all first before picking "the one". Leap of Faith is one where that forced you to pick a girl very early on, before you really get to know any of the women, and I definitely found that to be disappointing.
The story I will be playing will be mutilated. Not by the Dev, by myself. Because of MY specific likes and dislikes. I explained in detail why and what those are.Calling it a "mutilated story" cuz it didn't cater to your taste seems excessively dismissive to me.

And I just walk away, not play and watch the thread hoping the two girls I like become main LIs before other guys bang them. But I'm pretty sure my wait will be in vain. It is what it is though. I'm not angry about it, even though I liked what I already played.~snipped~

will mc be the only person sexually involved with the LI's from start to finish of the game?Mild spoiler for the pledge week?

Thanks a lot for such a detailed review, was really interesting to read. I've fixed the couple of consistency/typo errors there, I knew that some would sneak through no matter how many times I thought I'd read it. Benji's model is just a bit difficult to work with, unfortunately. Most of the renders of him have some sort of clipping that's genuinely easier to just edit out in post. I'll go back to those frames and see if I can make it look better but it may have to stay a bit fucked.cicadaNGB
One of the better college setting VN.
After playing it made me want to try other school setting games to scratch the itch only to learn how poorly the theme is handled by other VNs. The dialogue/story and attractive big ass babes in a college setting is the best part of this game.You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.
I also give zero fucks about if its harem or not. Having some reality in a game is always a plus in my experience.
The game is going in the right direction. I have basically no qualms on the development and look forward to your writing and renders.
thanks for being so open about it. i appreciate the blog for gaining some insight on a dev.Hello! I've decided that I want to start doing devlogs of sorts. Not sure how frequent they'll be, but, as I have no projection for when chapter 2 will come, I want to at least give some sort of update every so often so that those of you who care know that I'm still working on this.
My biggest fear when releasing the project for the first time wasn't the response it would get, but actually was the fact that there is now expectation. Not just from the people who've played it and enjoyed it (thanks to anyone who has, by the way), but for myself to now actually put the work in a make this idea into a reality. Before I released the game, it was a hobby/passion project that I worked on as I could. But now it's out there, everything feels a lot more real. If that makes sense. I committed to finishing the project long ago, but the actual first release, I guess naturally, feels like an actual commitment.
No I don't need therapy, why do you ask?
Anyway, chapter 2. Good news and bad news. The good news is that I'm already over 280 renders into it, and it's more than half written. The bad news is that I don't work that quickly - I've been working on chapter 2 in the background for a few months after draft 1 of the first chapter was finished, while I was checking things over and redoing certain scenes. So I can't accurately say how long it's actually taken me to get this far through chapter 2.
this is extra good newsWhat I can say is chapter 2 looks like it'll be considerably longer than chapter 1.
I've taken onboard as much of the feedback I've received on chapter 1 as I could, and I just want to thank again anyone who's left a comment or review, particularly those who have gone into detail (because I find it really interesting to read).
For now, I'll leave you with 4 previews for chapter 2, for those who want a sneak peek of who you'll be seeing at the start of chapter 2
