Seeing as how the game leaked, I went ahead and played the new update early. Overall I'd say it's pretty good; a solid chunk of content, some very interesting characters beats, and an unexpected plot development that keeps the game feeling fresh and lively.
Thanks for the usual, ename. Owed to your individual tastes and the unique way you engage with the project, you bring a valuable perspective when you do these summations. It has long been an odd reassurance that despite your distaste for the uglier core elements of the game, you remain enthusiastic about the other aspects and convey your thoughts on it extremely well. Your insight on the punishment game and what you extracted from it is particularly indicative of my feelings.
(Probably not) Interesting to note, but the original conception of the Mina scene had the porn stuff at the forefront. When we were searching for a map to use, a good TV was one of the key elements. Things got shuffled around as the scene developed and unfolded in real time, as they tend to do, so your remark about wishing we had leaned into it more heavily resonated with me.
Another incredible update to an unbelivably enganging AVN. Kudos to the developers and congrats on reaching their milestone of 1000 patrones!
Thank you as well. My favorite part of the Mina scene was also the build up. I had a lot of fun writing the chemistry between the two. Particularly when they're face-to-face, half-dressed, and sharing the wine, but also afterwards when they decompress and Mina talks about her dad and the philosophy she inhereted from him.
Appreciate the response, sorry to hear othes are aggressive on this, I wouldn't want devs to feel besieged, rather I think it would be in service of a better story.
Ah, it's nothing like that. When I said mercilessly bullied, I meant it tongue-in-cheek.
I hope this game gets a full gallery one day, for the ppl that can't play every route, or wanna see what other routes can offer.
What do you mean? All the significant scenes (and probably a few insignificant ones) get replays. Things like that above Grace image is more flavor than anything meaningful. So in the case you're some weirdo who didn't bang Hana, it was a single image trying to make the absence of content a little more interesting.
Unless you mean like a full blown image gallery instead of a scene replay. To which I'd say, uh... the game presently has like 18,000 images. In that case, I suggest just checking the game's internal files.
Unless unless you mean a way to unlock the scene replay without playing, then there are third party ways of doing. A gallery unlocker gets promptly posted after every leak.
