If the hero was a shota, it would be veeeery good game. but not :CCCC
Can't tell if this is a joke or not...

Feels like every other game here deals with incest and you playing as a kid, and this game already conforms to half of that stereotype. I'd rather not have every single game turning into a oedipus complex template with no variety or imagination in terms of narrative.

Especially since it seems almost all girls in these games are taller than you, Dreaming of Dana is a welcome change where you actually play a man instead of a boy xD

I mean, the player's age is never specified? The player's height might give some tells ... I only just found out shotacon today xD

Your exact age is never specified, but it is stated that you are a couple years older than the twins somewhere.

Edit: You're the fucking developer, why am I making a goober out of myself by replying to you with plot details you wrote as if you don't already know them?

Minxy, if there were other paths, I honestly couldn't tell, it just seemed like some choices either didn't do anything, or directly led to a failstate most of the time. Might be worth considering to include some sort of hint at what an option might change, or if an option takes you down a different path. I'd also suggest getting rid of any instance where you only have one option, unless you plan on adding other choices to those spots at a later point.



That's a horrendously stupid metric. DmD is a game that's been in development for a fairly long time now, with a large backing, of course it's going to offer more overall than something newly released.
Ahh !! Well most of the choices for now changes how open the characters are with showing affection, or being bold and... perverted with the player... There aren't any major different paths ... Do you have any suggestions as to how I might ad this sort of hint ?

Most people usually have a visible point tally for certain variables, but I can understand if you want to avoid going down that road. Other than that, what immediately comes to mind is awkward exposition text for major decisions("I feel like she's more blank" kind of stuff), or you could go the Bioware route and give each character an icon to indicate what path you're on with that person.

I don't think you should make it obvious which pathways you're going down as it ruins the diversity of the game (Also kinda ruins the fun because you know whats going to happen). Other game developers don't make it obvious in order to cater for people who want a bit of everything. However, i recommend the community or even the game developer themselves make walkthroughs on choices if they want to go down a specific route. :eazyHype:

If you want visual ways of doing this, clothing might be an option. More revealing, daring, outfits than usual. I know it means more renders per path, but it probably the most unobtrusive way of doing something like this.

@ManicMinxy just a bit of a request, with this game can you keep the male character as is, and not go full shota :S like i know the char is older than the twins but story changed can happen. i personally like it as is, but if you do go shota go the twist style shota (just with a bigger dick XD ) cause the only thing that i dislike about some shota games is that they make the dick a micropenis :|

Clothes are usually changed once per day. A reaction to a choice will happen multiple times a day. It's one way to assist in seeing changes, but not an immediate response. A worded response is usually a good indicator in game, but nonverbal cues are honestly really key to this kind of reaction in the real world. So @ManicMinxy is doing it in the most realistic manner possible. Not necessarily the best method in game, but it is realistic.

Awww I can agree with that ! There is changes in the story if you react differently... but I guess it's just hard to identify because there isn't a strong indicator... They are mostly done through dialogue~ I might look into making a stats menu that is off screen which people can use if they want ? I need a ren'py expert xP
