Thanks for the feedback and the suggestions!Earliestbird
Wow, this is definitely a project I'd be interested in. So many wonderful tags. Since it's so early in development, I'm not going to critique the game, rather make humble requests.
And they are nothing but requests, I totally respect the dev's right to make what they want, and to put in as much work (or not) as they want. A lot of people are making these as a hobby, I get it.
The requests are put in spoilers, in case you're not interested. Which would be fine if you're not.
You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.
Anyway, I'm getting carried away here.

1) The game will have both kind of scenes - some will allow you to choose between, for example, anal and/or vaginal and/or spanking, and some will be a single continuous scene. But expect a lot of the game's main fetish - which is breeding.
2) I think I fall into the "gardener" writer category. Here's the full quote from George R.R. Martin: "I think there are two types of writers, the architects and the gardeners. The architects plan everything ahead of time, like an architect building a house. They know how many rooms are going to be in the house, what kind of roof they're going to have, where the wires are going to run, what kind of plumbing there's going to be. They have the whole thing designed and blueprinted out before they even nail the first board up. The gardeners dig a hole, drop in a seed and water it. They kind of know what seed it is, they know if planted a fantasy seed or mystery seed or whatever. But as the plant comes up and they water it, they don't know how many branches it's going to have, they find out as it grows."
3) True, although drama can be very impactful. Just need to be careful to do it right.
4) Oh man that was an incredible game, glad to see you mention it. I do have plans for more... unconventional things like that. Just to give an example, I want an event that only ever appears if the main character has very little (1-5~) HP remaining at the end of a day, available only when the romance had advanced a bit.
5) No screenshake and flashes in the game so far. Not planning to add any either. Not really the best fit for the atmosphere I'm going for.
6) Hmm well... Like I said, this game is a novel-with-visuals - the narrative comes first. So I write this like I would be writing a book, and that does include some descriptions. BUT I also realize this is a game, so I try and keep these descriptions very short, only a few lines at most. Hopefully it won't be too big of a hang-up.
7) This is the one point where we can agree to disagree. Some people talk a lot during sex - and not just about the sex itself, but entirely random stuff like 'what do you want for dinner' or 'could you do this/that', or just laughing and awkwardly fumbling around. Many people actually get turned on by dirty talk. But anyway, that's not my point.
When it comes to writing sex scenes, I'm not going for realism. I'm going for fap material, or more specifically, what I personally find hot. This is a very subjective matter so I totally get it if you disagree, it's just that I have read a lot of erotic novels in the past and noticed that sex scenes that are spiced up by dialogue is widely preferred (with me included).
Also I can't really let my images do the work during sex scenes because I don't have good quality AI images with actual penetration.
