You do realize this is a flash game, that the thread is at least 4 years old and that they probably started even further back in time before this made its way here?
I have no doubts that the author of this game probably started out with playshapes like so many others did, back in the era where newgrounds had plenty of those ambitious creators that ended their careers realizing this wasn't for them or that it wasn't as simple as it seemed.
The difference here is that despite the fact so many quit, this one hasn't. on paper, the different locations saw so many changes during all those years, I remember the game having a totally different storyline back then.
Ambitions and storylines changes, artstyles improve, old structures get rebuilt and so on.
oh and also, you might want to drop by their
You must be registered to see the links
and actually read their pitch
I don't see them only that they were
Please, before you bash a game, actually take some time to look up the proper sources. The game has evolved so much and you've only scratched the surface.
some of what you said made sense, there's no real story, the gameplay is linear, the content is all sex, the originality is meh. (but who's surprised when all tropes have pretty much been seens in hundreds other games out there.) The only good rating you gave it is sounds
Have you actually played the game? The apartment, the office, the beach are all the same soundtracks, the club is the only location with a different soundtrack.
Sex scenes also only have one cheesy beat playing for all of them, there's probably only 3 whole tracks in this whole game!
and let's not even get started on the sex noises themselves, which are pretty generic too.
that's the exact opposite of not getting repetitive easily.
and yes, the gallery has bugs, have you also realized this is a crack pirated version of the game? look at the top where it says
non supporters aren't even supposed to get a gallery, so complaining about a feature that was ''hacked'' into the version you most likely downloaded is not even fair to mention. Go support them and play the patreon version before you complain about a feature you're not suppose to have.
And to finish this off, stop kinkshaming people. Some folks love those kind of things. You're entitled to your own opinion, but to judge a game based off your kinks and giving it a bad rating because you're not willing to inform yourself is very poor practice.
1: I am aware. But: It is recently commented on.
And I have checked both their NG AND Patreon.
I played the game when it first came out. I've played the latest version.
I am aware how it began. But their focus has been on cramming in new, repetitive stuff, rather than go back and polish up the core game. I know other games can't be mentioned in reviews, but forgot if that's same in threads. But to be vague in case: Another game came out, missing features that was promised at launch. The developer said it "would only take 5 minutes to add.". Now, TWO
fucking years later. The game is STILL missing those features. AND: It launched with 4 playable male races. And 1 female. To date. It has 2 playable female races and 6 male. Along with 100 % of starting talents being male exclusive. And their constant excuse nowadays in "we have to look forwards, not backwards". Refusing to add the missing female races, features or etc.
2: It's written right there in the description. The one I could give
some leeway to is the "full of sexual opportunities" line. As that has been changed to be more vague than their original pitch. But again: It's only ONE type of sexual opportunity.
3: I have looked. And no: It has not. It has evolved in a similar way to say...Tetris. It now comes in neon, with more crisp music. And you can now play it online... with connectivity issues. (at least at the start xP Just referencing Tetris here and how they managed to mess up the core game.)
The bad rating is
because of the claims. In combination with: Responses to feedback.
In short: In response to asked to fix the female models, it was "We're too lazy."
In response to being asked to add some different personalities or routes. Same thing. "We're too lazy." or, more specifically in this case: "But... that would add extra work."
In response to the story/dialogue being kinda... bland. They scoffed and told people to "do better themselves" and... people offered to do so. And they got cold feet and bailed on the offers. Partially again: To the "we're too lazy". Since: Allowing Casey to ex: Be a top, or lesbian, would require additional work. And: Instead if having 48 blowjob scenes, they'd only have 47 if they'd have to divert resources into making non-dick scenes.
And while claiming being incompetent or lazy is an "art style" has become VERY popular lately, I don't buy into that. As it's not allowed with
any other genre or detail.
4: I have. I've seen every. single. scene.
Granted, I probably rated the sound a taaad bit too high. But the rest was so bad, that in comparison, it seemed a lot better.
To clarify: I rather found the sound to not be grating. A lot of games have a pretty loud, like, 30 second jingle that gets annoying to listen too after just several minutes. This game mostly managed to avoid that for me.
And yes, I am aware. I
have also played this specific version and nearly ALL prior. And the review still sticks to all versions of the game.
5: Yeah, no fuck that. Sorry if that sounds crude. But this is roughly like... to use a relevant example: Say I pirated Fifa. And I tank the shit out of the score because it's a shit game. And the grind is unacceptable to unlock characters. And your response is: That I should shell out for a fresh, $120 collectors edition, and spend $1000 on card packs and features that should have been free to "make the game bearable" and THEN I should review it.
Yeah, no. Or to use older examples: Colonial Marines or No-Man's Sky. If someone falsely or misleadingly advertise a game. The game turns out to be shit. (Or at least: Not delivering on it's promises) Heck, quick example: There was a "Futa art pack" for same. That didn't contain
any futa. I called that shit out. And someone was offended I didn't purchase it via official means, and: how that means I shouldn't be allowed to criticize it. Or: In another case: I had issued a refund via paypal. Which, to them: Meant I HAD to take down my negative review, since that was for "paying customers only".
Trailing off a bit. Point being: I only support projects that deserve it. Like I recently said to another project: "The creators of this game, hasn't lift a finger correct ANY of the reported bugs for over 6 months. None of the graphical errors have been resolved. And they have shown no interested in either. Along with refusing to update the description of the game, to actually reflect what it contains. So WHY would I throw them $20 on pateron to unlock the option to vote in their polls of what the next outfit to add is going to be? How would that address
any of my concerns?"
6: And lastly: I am not kink shaming. (That was at least not the intent.) If anything, I am shaming THEM for kinkshaming.
They've barred DOZENS of kinks from being in their game, solely because they're lazy. And/or don't want to hire artists for it. Was a year or two ago now. But one response was basically just "our artists doesn't know how to draw that so... we're just gonna skip it.". Close to ALL kinks aside from cock worship are barred. Which is as said: Extra ironic when the game prominently features and promises lesbian content. And there's... barely one half-assed scene in there. This game doesn't exactly advertise that it's about hyper cock worship. Yet: That's more or less the ONLY kink allowed. Like: You want to have lesbian sex in this game advertised by two kissing chicks? Löl, go suck dicks. You want femdom? Nope. Go suck dicks. You want the PC to have urges? Nerp! More dick sucking! ALL the hyper dicks! At least games that just state: "You're a jizz hungry cock slut!" are straightforward. I know what to expect.

This game plays dress up and claims to have shit it doesn't. All the promised "furry girls" just have the same copy pasted, juvenile human pink pussy. Regardless of species or color. Because they cba to pay an artist for proper models like for the males. The "Relationships" you can get are more or less jokes. Especially the "lesbian" one. As, your "girlfriend" is 10 times more interested in sucking some random guys dick than spending time with you. And all straight relationships is more or less "Let me be your cock sleeve senpia! Use me, then neglect me!". If that's their kink: Sure. But why are ALL characters identical? And as said: All the implied choices... are not choices. It wouldn't be as big of an issue, if they just corrected their patreon blurb, or NG blurb. Like: One other game I am currently worried about is one where you play a lesbian. And the game has 90 % straight content. Which, fluff wise: is sorta explained. And it recently had a big budget animation added. And I'm worried they won't be able to supply that quality animation for the "lesbian finale". Trailed off again. But the point there was: That game has
promised you'll get some good lesbian shit at the end. If it's true, I can't say right now. They might bungle it. But point being: That's one of the
promised selling points of this game. And they barely have ½ a scene in there. Not to sound too crass, but as this point: They might as well put up a "Only play this game if you are into:" and a "Do NOT expect the following in this game:".
-
And: I've played nearly EVERY. SINGLE. UPDATE for roughly 4 years. So I'm not "misinformed". I was there from the start where it promised to have "all these things!" and then: It didn't. It had quite a few cases of "Sure we'll fix that." then backpedal next updated with a "Well, actually..." or simply swept it under the rug. And: Yes, I should probably have abandoned all hope for the game by now. But I check several games roughly bi-monthly. And they come with promises of "We've gotten a new artist now to cover what our other can't!" and "We promise to touch up some story parts, and add more variety!" and what have you. And each time, out of curiosity: I decide to check if they decided to fix any of it.
I know I am likely too bitter on average. But I've been doing porn for roughly 15 years now.
And: It's
not hard to get certain parts right. Then again... we have porn sites with the rules in black and white that: "Futa on female is NOT lesbian." and yet, ~95 % of all futa on female gets tagged as such. My apologies for ranting. But some people seriously stand at a door labeled "Pull" and try to push through it. It doesn't help that some of these people have done it for 2+ years, and still ask for help each time, asking why the door isn't opening.
I was trying to concentrate both on sex aspects of the game and on the story & atmosphere, creating characters with their own traits, possessions and storylines.
