Pretty great story and unique characters. Katie seems fine i don't really understand the hate its not as she dumps MC after the fuck and picks another guy her character was very well detailed besides i think there's more to the story before comming to conclusions. Miranda and Madison seems pretty hot. Hypr for the next update cheers to dev..!!

@Oppai Auteur Will there be more romance with girls?

....I think you are taking this lighthearted comedy game a bit too seriously. All of what you mentioned is just for fun, this isn't real life mate, its fiction. Dial it back a bit
Yep, when i first saw all this for a few seconds i was like "wut?" :oops: Spoiled rich kid who treats everyone like crap? Commits a crime? Horrible friend? I mean, i always thought your humour and easygoing-ness of the story is fairly easy to get after just a few minutes of playing, but i guess not for everyone. I think Alfred was one of the first ever who had such a strong serious reaction. I can understand about him being upset over choices (which people kinda used to here), or wanting to get in Miranda's pants just after few updates (which, again, happens in these games more often than not), but that's way too over the limit.
That's something you'll have to deal with, or you can just not play the future versions, because I'm not going to change how I approach this game. The current way is what works for me as a creator
Always respect a dev who stays true to his\her vision. :) That's really valuable.
The hat is kinda awkward with her hair style, but I didn't like the outfit without it lol
Hah, and pirate without hat is not a pirate.
What made you guess Amari? And want to hazard a guess at any others?
I thought she might turn out to be Katie's acquintance, and considering Amari's the most rebellious looking of three i thought it was pretty ideal. Or that she might just appear in some event related to something like this. But photographer for Miranda? Nope. :p
As for the others, if any of your characters can appear, then i'll guess... Zalika maybe?

I'm most likely being unfair to her due to her being forced on me. After all, I didn't even like Megan from Acting Lessons and she's a great gal by any standards.

However, Katie just rubbed me the wrong way. I understand that her actions were supposed to come across as friendly teasing, but that wasn't the impression I got. It's like she has an "It's just a prank, bro" kind of personality. Sarah teases her about being short. Katie teases her by screwing the guy Sarah likes after promising her not to and then sends her a photo to rub it in. I just think that she takes things way too far, and it made me believe that she doesn't give a damn about Sarah.

As far as Miranda goes, I wasn't expecting her to instantly sleep with you and I would rather there be a build up to it. But I was expecting her to be the focus of the game, since she is the one referenced in the title. I thought that her and Sarah would be the main paths while the others would be optional side characters. I'm not interested in the other characters, so the idea of going through every other girl in town before eventually getting around to Miranda doesn't appeal to me. Especially with Katie at the centre of things.

I know that I'm really terrible at explaining things over the internet and that I always sound angrier that I intend, so I apologize if I sound like a raving lunatic here. But Katie just ruins the game for me. I saw several people confused by the hate she gets, and I wanted to try and point out that it's not just because she's missing her eyebrows. Although that certainly doesn't help things.

What led you to believe that Sarah likes the MC? She's said on multiple occasions that she had no attraction to him. The only reason she said she didn't want Katie to sleep with him was so things didn't get awkward when Katie inevitably dumped him. The only time Sarah showed any interest in the MC was after seeing the nude photo because she hasn't had sex in a while.

Anyways, Besides Miranda, Katie is my favorite character. I like forward girls so I hope she sticks around for a while.

Well she could just be saying that and they did kiss when they were younger. Maybe she did have feelings when they were younger, forgot about it with distance and they are coming back after seeing him.

Then again, she may only start having feelings later on.

Glad you enjoyed the game :)

There will be romance in the future yeah

Not every rebellious girl I have is connected to Katie lol

Zalika is a no unfortunately, she's a mechanic and none of the Old Friends cast own a car :p

Everyone has their preference, that's cool. But as I said I don't plan to change my approach, so if its not for you, its not for you

The feelings developing later is the approach I'm going for, but even then it isn't exactly full on love or anything.

Its similar to Katie in terms of having fun, but with a bit more of a personal connection due to their history together

Don't worry, i didn't think anything like that about your words. And i do see your points. I guess all that tease from Katie might be interpreted in a different way than what we saw in it, as in just a friendly jabs. Everyone have their own opinions. Btw, that point about Katie missing eyebrows was just me using a sort of running joke of this thread. :)

I know, but that was one of the easiest things i came up with. That girl like Amari might find some places she and Katie both go to. Clubs or something.
That's kinda sad about Zalika, i was especially hoping to see that glorious bombshell in at least some little event. I'll think more about who else can appear then.

Man, i thought that was all just an act too, and that Sarah is already might be madly in love with James. :p

I'm sure Zalika would be popular lol, but I am trying to make these cameos make sense in the context of the story

The redo is progressing well guys!

My improved skills in Daz3D has helped things go faster than they have before, and its nice to use the better looking models as well

Here are some comparisons, hopefully the change is more noticeable than a resolution change, otherwise this is a waste of time lol

Okay, it's official. I've dedicated this weekend to catching up on all these games I've not played, since I have that "real life" thing occupying more of my time. Since I knew this was a relatively shorter update to get through, it's #2 on the list.

Overall, fun update. Sexiest yet, even if I have zero interest in Katie (sorry Oppai). Thoughts and comments in the ubiquitous spoiler box for non-player protection.

Overall, the story continues to show promise. Some of the rendering can still improve, but it IS improving as the dev learns more, so this, too, is encouraging.

I look forward to the mid-year update!

Nice to know I merit such a high number, even if that's based on length lol ;)

Glad you enjoyed the new update, but as expected more dislike for poor Katie, she certainly attracted more than a few detractors this time :p

Better put my own response in a spoiler too

Fantastic game.

First game I ever wrote a review for on this site mainly due to how fond I am of the massive potential this game has. I'll summarize my review by saying Miranda, Katie, and Pepper are all this game needs. All other Characters besides his Mom are not very attractive at all (Sarah looks like a 40 year old muscle bound futa with creepy pedo pigtails posing as an 18 year old. She looks older than the Mom for christ's sake) and should be completely optional. At least the models (Besides Sarah) are realistic tho. Very refreshing to not have to romance a cliche overused Daz model. I love how the Dev is very active and takes feedback in order to improve the game. It shows a genuine desire to get better.

The "Foreskin Fucking" really ruins the sex scenes. That's not how sex works. There's nothing wrong with being uncircumcised but please pull back the skin of the MC. If we ever get a chance to fuck Miranda I want it to be hard and proper. I also want it to be multiple times and sneaky like in Miranda's living room on the floor in front of a sleeping Sarah. Also some public fucking like on a hotel balcony in front of passers-by or on a public beach would automatically make this my pick for best VN ever.

I've already mentioned before, no one will be optional in this game. Eventually James will get with everyone at different points, you'll have to get used to characters you don't like appearing. All the relationships are part of the story!

Unfortunately Daz3D doesn't give the option to retract it, you can only have a model be cut or uncut. I've already made him uncut so I'm just going to keep it that way, its just foreskin don't think its that big a deal

Lol Miranda isn't quite that adventurous, but we'll see what happens ;)

WOW! Thank you for the responses and acknowledging my rants. The foreskin thing will no longer be a big deal for me, mark my words.

Yep, definitely better. But yeah, her booty looks smaller in some of these. :D Btw, i personally love all those giggles and laughs you put. Not a big fan of animations either, if i can get more meaningful dialogues and hot static images like Katie's scene have.

Tbh, i initially expected more hate towards Sarah as shown after previous releases, so was surprised when there wasn't much. And there you go now. "40 year old muscle bound futa with creepy pedo pigtails posing as an 18 year old. She looks older than the Mom for christ's sake, and should be completely optional" :LOL: I laughed like mad. :ROFLMAO: "Not realistic at all". Big thumbs up to Ooh, i don't think anyone can just came up with something like that. So much passion. He even wants to destroy poor Sarah's sleep.
