Really? For me, it's riddled with at least 5 annoying bugs. I mean, i can ignore buggy "preferences" tab and lack of "load" + buggy "resume", but even some dialogue choices lead to error. With girlfriend's mom. The game is certainly interesting plot-wise and have a big potential, but dev needs to fix these. If he even aware about them. And make the game a bit more comfortable for the player. Art is of course a problem too, but it's not that bad. And can improve. Or just commission some art if possible. I like the overall "old" style he use and characters types, it's just not polished at all.Honestly I played it , while like the majority of people here have already stated the art is rather scary, with that said the character designs are not bad and with the proper artist this game would/could be amazing . Game play wise I didn't experience any real errors or crashes I am certainly going to keep an eye on this game .. if they can over come the art issue this could be amazing .. I mean one of the characters in the banner appears to be a clown girl with hyooge tits ..

Every game needs art, story and code to work and reach an audience. In most of the one-man-projects you find either a coder or an artist trying to make a game. That's why most of the games suck story wise but look nice or work properly. In this case I'd say we have a storyteller, because the game has some ideas to work with the BTTF theme, and he already outlined his story concept for the coming parts, but his coding is so bad that he even fucked up a semi-automatic tool like Ren'py and his art is...rough at best. I get the idea what he wants to draw and like the direction (mature curvy models, milk leaking nipples, big boner...) but it will take a considerable development in his drawing skills to get these ideas to "sexy".
I hope for the best but expect it to become abandoned, given the not so appreciating feedback he gets.

Yeah, i mostly agree. He definitely needs some money for coder and artist (i honestly doubt he can improve his own art fast enough), but it would be hard. I mean, what would you expect from people? Most users would always comment about how bad they think art is, even without playing (and most comments on first pages of any thread is about characters appearance anyway). So, naturally many devs trying to make their game look appealing to the eye.
On other hand, this dev have good basis. Models type, fetishes and story. But his story, even if it's very good, would be appreciated in the very last place. It is porn. But we will see. It's just one forum after all.

if you think its ugly then you try drawing because i'm pretty sure you can't do better
From what it looks like the reason for how the art is, is because the creator can't really afford to make better art. check the patreon goals.

We get it, the art needs improvement. You're all hilarious for coming up with the shittiest and most hateful thing to say about it.
Oh, wait, that's right - this isn't the chans. Enough.

So, I tried out the game, because the concept was pretty cool, and I'm a sucker for anything that has to do with knocking up mature women.
As others have touched on, the art is iffy. However, I would like to leave some actual feedback instead of just snarking, so what I would say is that most important thing that's needed is clean up and better posing. Basically, the poses that aren't just 3/4-fronts standing pose (for example like the Doc showering) look off in the anatomical sense. The clean-up means to work out facial features and general looks more cleanly. As it stands, the characters have a bit of a floaty look to them. I'm kinda charmed by the cartoony style, but it still needs some precision to it.
Beyond that, there are some bugs (the obvious one being the preferences screen, which made it impossible to lower the sound in-game and to go into windowed mode easily, so I had to do both externally)). However, this game also suffers from some of the problems other Ren'Py games have (like Taffy Tales) in that the hit box for clicking buttons and interactive objects on the screen do not feel entirely well-defined. There were several times I thought I was hovering correctly over an object, only to find I had to move it to a slightly different spot. This is a bit annoying and detracts from the general experience.
Lastly, the forced link to the creator's patreon whenever you quite the game doesn't quite sit right with me. I have no problem for the game to contain a button on the main menu to take you directly to the patreon, but please don't forcibly open a tab to it everytime I close it. People can make their own choices.
It should be mentioned though - I really like the plot. I like the jokes, the references, and I like how you interact with other characters. I believe the game has a lot of potential.

Here's how I see it: Art style? Not too bad. Cartoony vibes are usually feels good and nostalgic, ala Summertime Saga. It's actual follow through and delivery? Needs work. I don't know WHY the women are almost drawn to be off putting in their faces. Just fix some of that, (I know, it's hard work and I appreciate all efforts) and I'd be willing to check it out. -Morah

Although the art style is different, I still say this game has potential. Just add a little time travel incest and there you go. Before you add anymore content, try to fix any major bugs to the current code. Also, work on your translation skill. Keep up the hard work, take everyone's criticisms both good and bad to heart.
Holding out on trying it out until the next build, but from the highlights in the features, it sounds really intriguing. (Dating across three different time periods? Thrice the potential factor of incest? I say with shame and glee, sign me up.) Putting this on my threads to watch.

better drop this message in the op post, so people will have to see it opening the thread or the whole convo will be people being people (read:assholes).

I really doubt he would. Considering how Patreon treats these devs now. Many of them now deliberately trying to avoid this theme, but still staying as close as possible. With "step", "family of my mom's friend", etc. We will see how this one will avoid that.
Maybe he's trying to follow "old style", i'm not sure. But I just personally think he's bad at faces. Look at MC. Girls look kinda milfy enough, but it needs work just like everything else. Best feature of his art? I liked how he draws pussy i guess.
Sorry, but Taffy Tales is Unity game. Can't say i noticed that bug from Taffy here. But yeah, "go to my patreon" is pretty annoying. Especially if my browser closed.

Optimist Prime overall just needs help. I think we all can see that. At least tester.
