We need a hero, we are still waiting for Patreon Unlocker for the new version
I'm not too fond of locking half his characters in a paywall, it's predatory and reminds me of microtransactions that are way too invasive and predatory atleast in the method they're sometimes implemeted, so i made this download link with the patreon code inside.

I did see dev comments how it is hard to compete as pictures takes long time to make. But this is wrong approach. Game like this isn't so much about the pictures as it is about the mood and setting. Right now there are too many characters that are very shallow. They are not interesting and they get into action too fast.
Focus on one character at time, build the relationship. Make it feel meaningful. Make the development a slow burn. Don't just turn someone into complete slut after 10 messages. Granted, that could be someone's jam and such character isn't bad idea to have, but the story should start from that idea already. Some innocent girl doesn't just turn into a slut overnight. And in some cases it is much better if they never do. Images should support that, not be the main focus.
Don't just throw in more characters in hopes it makes something better, it in fact makes it worse as it takes the bond to any character feel meaningless and like said shallow. Emotions only work if you care. Game like this isn't just VN, it is an emotion tickler. It's not about programming quality or having more images why the competition to this in some scale does better. But it is the plot itself. It's not some unbeatable masterpiece.
So my suggestion is to focus on writing. Write the complete thing first, then turn it into chat format and only then add pictures to support it. If you just focus on images, then you have no way to compete (and you care about that), that is just a fact. Right now this game is so far from reality that it's not really tickling anything. Build the relationship, the setting, the plot before even attempting any NTR elements.
Or alternatively start from the NTR right away, like for example the girl being some famous idol and you knowing you are not the "only one" by long shot, but you wish that. Characters can be very different of course and experience should be different, but they should still be "realistic" scenarios.
Just my two cents about it.
