The only thing that bothers me are the few people claiming "Dom obviously doesn't care about his players and just decided to end the game"
But it is what you did, look i respect you as a developer, but the way you left your game it is what you did, you went from 0 to 100 in one update.


'I've had no joy working on this game for well over a year."
All adults go through this most of the time and in my line of work i go through this alot, doesn't mean i'll just drop my work or left something unfinished, i said i would do it and i keep doing until i made what i was supposed to do.



Again, i'am not trying to throw shots at you nor can i demand something from you, i'am nobody... or better, someone that liked your game, just criticizing. Almost everyone that is posting here is frustrated because they liked your game not the contrary.

Maybe the dev could come back to this eventually or make a sequel at some point. Let them start their new project and call this completed.....for now.
yeh hopefully there will be a sequel. got introduced to the ex thought there would have been a threeway scene with her and the cousin but nothing. took forever to bed the gym manager. didnt even get to see the baby born

None of these stories are good so none of their resolutions are good.

You can argue that you enjoyed the characters so you wanted to see more, or you hoped the scope of the project would be larger than it is. Maybe you hoped for a harem ending where MC gets to sleep with and live happily ever after with everyone. You can even argue that the stories are dogshit and you only like the characters. What you can't say is that it was abruptly abandoned because it's simply not true.

All adults go through this most of the time and in my line of work i go through this alot, doesn't mean i'll just drop my work or left something unfinished, i said i would do it and i keep doing until i made what i was supposed to do.
I hope you understand that I'm not employed by you or anyone here. I would definitely not be employed at a place that pays below minimum wage and binds me to some specified length of time for employment like indentured servitude. I started this as a hobby to do and relax when coming home after my actual job. It got to the point that I'd rather work in the office than come home and work on this. Despite that, I stuck out another year to resolve the stories but you claim the opposite. This is more akin to a street guitarist having someone toss him a few bucks and saying "Oh no buddy, you're not finished till I say so".

I'm not upset or offended by your comment. This is just a good example for why devs generally avoid engaging in these discussions. It's time consuming with no real benefit. Hell, I responded to a few private messages demanding "the story" be complete. When asked what "the story" was, every one of them had wildly different answers. It's just further proof that the story itself was shitty and unclear but people liked the characters despite the poor writing.

Just to reiterate, I'm not upset or offended by your comment whatsoever. It's just that engaging in this way with everyone is time consuming and I'm too giddy with joy for the work I need to do.

I don't think that anyone should, to the extent that they can avoid it, do something with their lives that doesn't bring them joy. Having written that, I haven't read a single post where someone insisted that you go back and somehow 'fix' the game - perhaps I missed it if there was - and it is certainly your right not to work on it for one more second.

However...if it walks like a duck and talks like a duck - it's a duck. Most reasonable people, whether they are an ardent supporter of you as an artist or not, would play through this and wonder what the hell just happened. I'm old enough and have read enough to know when someone wrote a brief, ambiguous ending for artistic purposes and when they didn't. I think it would have been more genuine of you to just write 'I was fucking tired of this shit and wanted to move on' than what you wrote in the last couple of posts.

It's a silly little VN, not War And Peace, and I was over it before I hit the "POST REPLY" button. What I am going to remember, however, is this discussion and my opinion of your assertions.

Good luck with your next project.

I do know that you are not obligated by any means to do anything for me or anyone here, it was more of a personal opinion, i didn't and i would never demand anything from you or anyone, thats just not who i'am.

Yes, i liked the characters more than the story and i think most here did and no i didn't want more content for them, just closure, sad or happy it doesn't matter, even Amy having a real conversation with MC saying she can't do this anymore, she's free from Mr.Rapist and the MC is not what she needs right now.

And no, i didn't want a harem ending, it doesn't fit here. A simple solution to make a "better" ending that would make everyone less frustrated was when you don't end with Sophie you can chose who you'll "end" with, if you chose Jenna you would call her and say "hey lets hang out, i'll have alot of free time after work from now on.. etc", or go see how Amy was doing and say you'll help her more, and that can be done for every main girl. Just a text would be fine, no renders.


This post might be a bit unorganized and probably have alot of spelling mistakes, it's 2am here and English is not my first language.

I understand its time demanding so i'll just not comment anymore and don't feel bad not responding to me, i just hope you understand that the "fire" for the next project will go down too, when you do something for so long it'll happen and when it happens i hope you take this as a learning experience. Best of luck for your next project.

I have read all the negative comments about the endings and I have yet to play the final chapter.
I know that I will probably be disappointed in the abrupt ending or lack thereof for some of the characters.

I could also make the observation that since this is your learning project, trial run, whatever, you could have taken the opportunity to experiment with writing different satisfying endings...and I think it would be a valid point.

That said, I remember you several posts ago already lamenting that you had lost all passion for the project, and me thinking that maybe on a few of the girls you felt you had written yourself into a corner or into something that had no short term resolution?
Either way, it's absolutely your right to close this experience as you see fit and move on to something you are more passionate about. Your first attempt being of this quality, I am very likely going to try your next project too, because this was, in many ways, one of my favourite games (which is why I'm hesitant to even play the last chapter)... I do hope you won't fall out of love with that before its natural end.
With this game setting a precedent, I could understand patrons being a bit wary about your long term commitment to your next project.

Anyway, I was under the impression that already getting this last chapter out of you would have been a bonus, given your state of mind towards it... so I won't complain....and I'm sure you will survive a few less than stellar ratings brought on by the manner in which the game ended.

Congratulations on completing the game. But...
It looks like an unfinished game.
That's my honest opinion.

I was going to make a post but Cyn' here said 99.9% of what I would say in about 98.9% of the way I would have said it, compliments and concerns and all.

It's a shame more titles don't include attractive but imperfect love interests. I enjoy the usual impossibly good looking characters to sex up, don't get me wrong, but I'd love it if we got more characters like Amy, Maria (def my favorites) and even Mayan out there.

Only Mayan's story is unresolved as I cut her original ending because frankly, it was too insane. I'm talking Jack the Ripper levels of insane.

So at least give us a blowjob scene with her or SOMETHING. People were asking for explicit content from her since she was first put into the coffee shop as a filler character.

Hi guys i've been following this title for a while, but I preferred to wait a long time before deciding to try it. So now i see that the game is completed so... i looking under the genre tag, to see if something is change and i notice this: "Trap" is avoidable? Also who mean with Cheating? Something realted NTR (Netorare)? Because i do not see this tag, and i really do not like the NTR things.

So con someone give me some advice? Some info?

Thank you

Trap is avoidable, cheating is one of the characters with the MC, not the MC being cheated on.
