you might be surprised if you give it a tryNo Milf and No Inbreed... kinda rare for pen-py games. but the renders don't look that good. i'll pass, but best wishes to the dev.
Ooops. Will fix that. Nice to find yet someone else that appreciates the chess games! There’s like 5 of us now And thanks for the kind words.MrSilverLust well done on a brilliant first chapter! I've left a review and subscribed to your Patreon By the way, it should be bishop on b7, not b2 here.
yeah, enjoyed the 2nd chapter too
Thanks for the support and kind words. I'm glad to know that the reception to chapter 2 has been good so far2nd chapter was great,def. worth subbing for. thanks dev!
I did as I said earlier and I am on your Patreon now, which means I've already played new update (have 3 playthroughs going on right now). Really liked it a lot and I have few small questions/personal comments if that's ok:
Yes, I love your chess commentary. It's quite fun and easy to follow, even for an amateur like meOoops. Will fix that. Nice to find yet someone else that appreciates the chess games! There’s like 5 of us now And thanks for the kind words.
OK, I'm just now done with chapter 2. This is seriously exceptional writing, well done mate! Everyone, even the men, are just so real, grounded and human. A few hours ago, I didn't know this game existed. Now, it goes straight to the top-5 of my story-driven adult games list, and to my signatureThanks for the support and kind words. I'm glad to know that the reception to chapter 2 has been good so far
Glad to be of service I hope more people will get to play the game and support it. It's really great work.@Mister_M I owe you a huge thanks for recommending this to me.
Thanks a lot for the detailed feedback and your reactions to the update, this really helps a dev like me to not work inside his own bubble and have outside perspectives.I did as I said earlier and I am on your Patreon now, which means I've already played new update (have 3 playthroughs going on right now).

Thanks. And don’t worry, I get it that this art-style is not for everybody. It is by far the most common criticism I got.No Milf and No Inbreed... kinda rare for pen-py games. but the renders don't look that good. i'll pass, but best wishes to the dev.
1/5 stars, after just looking at the intro. Ouch.part of some review said:I have some brutally honest feedback this is meant to help not undermine you, i don't like the V.N. at all and here is why ! is love the use of high end CGI art work but then to add a mix of much lower end graphics with thick black lines even in the intro was the first point of o no please NO !!!
What the hell!? I don’t understand what my brain has against that particular square Thanks!there is one more chess mistake in chapter 2 and it's in fact the same mistake B2 should be B7 below. And yes, this was an epic game
Thank you very much for your answers. Of course I understand your desire not to spoil the story, nor I desire to have it spoilt; the amount of info given by you is already very satisfactory so thank you again. I'll let myself add some additional comments:I hope I managed to answer your points relatively well. I’m always happy to answer questions about the game, as you might imagine I like to talk about it. I just try to avoid spoiling any future content, if that’s okay.
This is the one thing I disagree with, though I know my opinion on this is in the minority. To me, games that "don't want to punish players for their choices" end up with a weaker story and risk incoherence. In my experience, adult games end up in one of two categories:You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.
FWIW, I love the art style and think it looks greatThe thing is, I need to use these daz shaders because I’m rendering using a 4yo (I think?) laptop with a 1060. This “toonish” art-style makes rendering much faster. If I had gone for photorealism, I’d make an update per year, still get renders worse than 90% of the games here, and get myself a burned GPU. Between these two choices, the correct one was obvious.
But this style grows on you. Since it’s not so realistic, some of the typical daz uncanny valley is gone. At least that’s what I tell myself
i am new to Daz as well but maybe rendering the models and the background seperatly would do the trick But i get that you are kinda stuck to this style since changing it midgame would be very unprofessionell. Anyway.... best wishesThanks. And don’t worry, I get it that this art-style is not for everybody. It is by far the most common criticism I got.

- Those that want to tell a specific story. If the player likes it, fine, but authorial intent trumps player agency.
- Those where the story is continuously undermined by porn logic, where the narrative becomes a weak string that only exists to tie sex scenes together.
Based on your quoted answer, I'm a mildly concerned that you might be headed in the second direction. Specifically:

Thanks for the detailed response. I think we agree on a lot more than we disagree.I think we are mostly agreeing on this topic, but I didn’t make myself clear and/or used the wrong terms. Let me try to explain a bit better what I meant.
Yes, that's exactly what I wantedYou don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.
That's fine, as long as there is some point where the LI (not just Deb) can say: "You know what? This is what I want, and if you are not happy with that, I don't think we're a good match."You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.
Thanks for explaining your rationale! I admit, I have minimal experience (not zero, but still) with this kind of relationship, so the background information helps. And yes, based on what you wrote, it doesn't sound porn-y at allWhat I was going for regarding to Deb
You are doing much, much better than 99.99% of adult game developers out there. So much so it's kind of hard to believe this is your first game or your first storyAnd everyone's criticism is obviously welcomed. This is my first game, my first story. I’m 100% sure mistakes will be made and I’ll drop the ball in several occasions. You, players, should keep me on my toes, telling me when I am subpar, so I can try to learn with these mistakes and not repeat them in the future.
Really? Hmm, I don't think that's good, and not what I was going for.You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.
I have the same opinion, that's why I planned things as I mentioned in the other post.You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.
Absolutely. The LIs have their kinks, the MC has his. If there is substantially overlap they will be a good fit together, but if not, there will be “bad endings” where they just realize they are bad for each other. But there’s wiggling room to negotiate with each other what they want to bring in/exclude from the bedroom.That's fine, as long as there is some point where the LI (not just Deb) can say: "You know what? This is what I want, and if you are not happy with that, I don't think we're a good match."
I never pick Cunning. It feels too manipulative and off-putting. If an LI requires it, I guess she won't be for me. I have zero cunning points at the end of chapter 2, so I hope it won't cause any game breaking bugs later on.You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.
Personally, I don't try to guess kinks based on character personalities. I accumulate points in my preferred dimension(s) and when I encounter a scene that requires a spesific kink, I choose (or not) to spend points.You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.
Agreed. The decision to choose one thing is equally a decision not to choose something else. Like I said previously, choices should have consequencesYou don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.
I don't think that's good
This seems reasonable. My point was you could definitely afford to get exhibitionism and still get all your other Hon skills, especially since you really don’t want to focus on cunning options. You’ll end up swimming on Hon points. Although, I realize it’s easy for me to talk because I know what’s gonna happen. For all you know, you might need those points for the next choice you make!You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.
All of those choices are absolutely ridiculous and played as dumb jokes. But, I mean, judge by yourself.You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.
