Ayyyy I speed ran this shit in 6ish hours, until the final quest bugged out and gave me a "." for what to do next.
Unless there is some big post game after whoop, i think I got it all but the ending(s)
So because I've been seeing the dev around this forum, I figured I'd quickly give some thoughts.
This was the most frusterating fap of my life, as I came into this at 2am hoping to nut quick, and it's now nearly 9.
I think alot of what killed it for me was ultimately the writing. Don't get me wrong, I like the light hearted tone and atmosphere, but when it came to the sex itself, well it just kinda didn't exist. There is some build up to the scenes but not alot of written word in the scenes. Hey I played with sound off so maybe I missed some stellar voice acted lines, but I really think that fleshing out the scene more with words is worth more than animation.
That being said, good ass animations. CGs were neat too but a noticable change in artstyle weirdly hampers my enjoyment.
I really hope going forward you lean into more writing for the actual scenes, and less on the build up to them. Also for the love of god, I can appreciate you built this game's gameplay in renpy, I really fucking can, but please axe this style.
Management is fun and fine, the bar, rep, and the overmap were all fine, the missions themselves were a chore and a real slog. Especially near the end where you keep running in and out of the final zone. Like fuck mang, I get the climatic finish is on the rise, but that renpy click gameplay ain't doing it for me man. I beg you, find a better way to do that or just focus 100% on management, cause that shit is comfy and fine.
When I've got the money, I'm coming back to support your ass. Whether I like mourning wood or not, I'm gonna support it for a bit just cause I know you can make something real comfy and good. I hope my input has even a smidge of something usable or thought provoking, as I've got a 16 hour shift in 5 hours and I haven't slept for 20.
