skip function for those who only want male sexual content to involve the MC and another girl. basically the vast majority of the Lillie/Liam Pov scenes will be skip able unless it involves main story arc content and only dialogue.
So we will be able to skip Lillie and Liam together, but their scenes will still happen, but we won't see them, then what's the point of skipping them

Hello everyone!
I just wanted you all to know that we are redoing the script for week 1 and will release V0.1b sometime this week as well as we are redoing content for week 2 and onward which will be released for Patreon's soon. worst case scenario is we might have to push back the release schedule as we are going back and redoing a large amount of past work.

And to those who are worrying that we are turning it into a harem game... No.
We are keeping the original spirit of the story intact. We are merely smoothing things out, providing more backstory/context and allowing a skip function for those who only want male sexual content to involve the MC and another girl. basically the vast majority of the Lillie/Liam Pov scenes will be skip able unless it involves main story arc content and only dialogue.
Their relationship is going to be less rushed and reverting to our original way we had things where she is the one pushing things forward. We admit we made a fault in rushing their story line too much. We had a test group before the game was released and they steered us into cutting out large portions/dialogue, stating that "it's a porn game, people will just apply porn logic, it will be fine" haha unfortunately as we continued working on the game, we listened more and more to those voices which compromised the story as a whole and it suffered greatly for it.

For those of you are ARE wanting a Harem style game, that will be my side project that I am working on when I actually have time and their isn't a list of PolyCafe renders to do. I hope to release a basic demo for that game sometime in July in hopes people will support us on Patreon to ensure that these games can be made. It is truly a just for fun game that will involve quite a lot of humor and a developing story as you learn the secrets as to where you are, why you are there, and why is the building infinitely expanding as you progress through each floor and meet more and more people.

Thank you!
Adding more dialogue wont help those that clearly didn't read the dialogue in first version. Seriously most of the assumptions made were already contrary to what dialogue showed...ie Lille a whore, slut and sold by tip even though dialogue clear she was attracted even as walking up to table, other dialogue also showed they both only dated occasionally in past (with mutual support) and had been working hard to get the Cafe a reality with personal lives on hold. Liam a prick and throwing money around buying what he wanted...he rude once when waiting an hour, rest of time he treated both MC and Lillie politely even if MC rude...even when he in Dom/sub role play he was barely pulling it off he was so respectful, and seriously what sort of "user" would get her off and then forgo own pleasure, Problem was not at your end or with writing. No matter how much back story and effort you go into explaining no relationship between Lillie and MC yet these guys going to cry NTR and no matter how much you hide the Lillie/Liam relationship they going to cry about not having all the women only worshiping their cock alone. Also ask yourself why are they so upset at speed of Liam/Lillie relationship when MC was getting a BJ from a girl he didn't even know without even going on date without same complaints? It has nothing to do with speed or build up just that its not with MC.
I for one thought you did great job giving a lot of information with a week long demo without getting bogged down with backstory.

I tried the game and fet it had potential. I'm not a fan of sharing so I didn't like the Liam character. I agree that Lillie gave in to fast to him and there was no build up to it, it was I'm here and I have money so now your mine kinda thing. Like someone said technically it's not ntr because your not in a relationship with her but it still poisons the well. Now after her doing stuff with him I dont want her anymore, lol. Keep in mind that this is purely my personal opinion I'm not trying to start an argument or anything else. Just expressing how I feel. If the game gets a rewrite/rework ill try it again otherwise it's not for me. Good luck with the game either way.
Same here should definitely be two routes for this the MC route with all the women and another for sharing, I was enjoying this game up until that point with Liam that stuff just ain't for me.

The reason most people (guys) were upset is because bikini girl came off as a whore to begin with where as lillie was supposed to be an actual love interest, and a lot of people cant stand the thought of your li getting with someone else unless your in the sharing/ntr crowd. Everyone has their kinks and I'm not one to shame. Yes there are double standards when it comes to male and female. Wether you admit it or not if a female is sexually experienced and tries to take charge she's considered a slut, easy etc. If a Male is in the same situation hes considered a ladies man. I'm not saying it's fair but that's how most people in society see it. Also most people if they are honest will answer this. If a guy sees 2 girls let's say twins for the sake of the argument. One being inexperienced and shy while the other experienced and wild most guys will say one is relationship material while the other is just for fun. While on the other hand if you have male twins that one is experienced and take charge while the other one is shy and inexperienced most women will choose the experienced one to be with. Obviously there are exceptions to any argument but if your honest with yourself you know most women would see the inexperienced one as less of a man than the experienced one. Also this is a game and the Liam character brought out a 50 shades vibe which most guys didnt like the movie (except the sex scenes) let's be honest while women went wild over the 50 shades movie. I know there are women here playing games also but the majority that play here are males. But like I said before everyone has their own kinks and if you like this game play it and to the dev keep doing what you like. You wont please everyone. It's not about more dialog it's about them seeing their li with someone else. So skip or not to those scenes it wont matter in the long run.

There's a strong vocal presence on these forums that want every single game to be for them and them only, and they will declaim loudly if a game isn't aimed a them or doesn't include one of their fetishes. And of course, rather than creating a game of their own or finding one that focuses on these interests, they'll try to browbeat new developers into making the game they want,not what the developer is attempting to make. Many developers cave into these demands, which is unfortunate, as it's frequently a small minority that really want that content. There's likely an audience for all types of content here who rarely if ever post but are looking for games that do something different.

I want to support every honest developer that creates a game, even if that game has content that's not to my liking. It takes a lot of time and effort to create one of these games, and I appreciate that. I personally don't want every game to be the "same-old same-old", and I find it refreshing when someone tries something different, whether it pleases me or not.

I would very much like to see this game succeed as the creators originally intended. Maybe that happens, maybe it doesn't, but I want to see a game that isn't just the usual fuckfest or harem or catering entirely to the same demographic as all of the others.

I think there are some valid points of criticism for this game that have been raised in this thread, but I also feel like a lot of the criticism is of the "it's not how I want it so I'm going to complain" variety. I don't think that's useful or encouraging. I understand that there are things that people like to see in these games, but once again not every game needs to be the same, and they would all get very boring if they were.

Thinking about it, I think one of the big problems people have with the Liam/Lillie relationship is the large tips Liam keeps throwing around. This creates the perception that one of the major reasons Lillie is attracted to him is because of his money, which makes her much less attractive as a potential love interest in the eyes of many people. I'm sure the developers are aware of the resentment a lot of men harbor towards women who seem to be obviously attracted to financial status over everything else, and having Liam throwing money around like it was sand doesn't help.

I got the feeling that Lillie's attraction to Liam was meant to be unnatural, as if Liam was using mind control or something similar. Assuming that was the intention, rather than having him throw around money, perhaps he could show up and bring her a single rose or something along those lines. Make the attraction more about his charisma than his money,

The other thing I would say is that the relationship between the MC and Lillie isn't developed well enough initially. We know they have a relationship, but what is it? Are they childhood friends who grew up together? Did they meet in college? Afterwards? Are they related? Is there mutual attraction? I know that there's an attempt to let the player define the relationship and that's likely why there's so little detail, but maybe there should be some consideration about fleshing out their relationship better. Obviously if they live together and she's comfortable walking around in front of him wearing her panties they're fairly close, but what kind of history do they have?

Also one more thing. People have a problem with a li getting into a relationship during the game there is less hate when the li is already in a relationship at the start of the game and during the process of the game leaves that relationship to be with the mc

I'm in the middle of playing this right now. I don't know how I feel about Liam yet- he does seem a little heavy-handed with Lillie, but I'm willing to see where it goes.

Regardless, it *really* bothers me that their first day of business they order a pizza. I get that you're tired of cooking all day, but when you're working in a kitchen, you'd probably graze as you go, plus you have a ton of product that's going to go bad or food waste, plus they are out of their savings and are talking about that $200 tip... They have food at the restaurant. I don't think they'd spend the money or the waiting time on a pizza. More like, hey, I prepped the $whatever, let's eat it instead of tossing it.

Am I the only one here?

PS- I hope they hire Emma.

It's not a harem game, of course they still happen the women don't belong to the MC it's a poly relationship which involves other people.

If that's not your thing this isn't the game for you.

There is no relationship with the MC, it's poly, everyone is involved with each other.

Yeah the game is not for me, but skipping their scenes would defeat the purpose of poly relationship

Of course it does but you get people that like to skip over other people having sex in things like this.

I know theres no relationship, I never said there was. I said she was a love interest. Which is different.

My mistake. I seem to have got the word "relationship" mixed up with "relationship" which is obviously a completely different word.

No you see the word jus not the context. If you read it you understand that the person is a li that doesn't mean you are in a relationship with them it means possible relationship. Also I said the li getting into a relationship was a problem not that the li already in a relationship was a problem. Just to clear up what you misunderstood

I quit the game and deleted forever since I could not keep Lillie from Liam. NTR is not my thing. I wished the developer had used the NTR tag so I would not have wasted my time.
