I think I tried this out when the first version was released here. I remember being interested in it at first but kinda fell off it thinking development was dead. Glad to see I was wrong. Gonna keep an eye on this one.

Hey everybody,

I just released a very (very!!!) long and extensive post here on patreon:

I'm about to change a lot about the development schedule and I need your feedback on this. If you find some time, please read the entire post and participate in the poll. Also make sure to let me know your thoughts and ideas here in this thread, I'd appreciate it a lot!

For those who don't have the time or just want to know the most important stuff, here's a summary:

I feel there are some flaws to the game right now due to the schedule with a new girl being introduced every other month:
  • The story and character progression is rushed and implausible at times.
  • The interactions and dialogues are not complete in many ways. Especially the sex scenes are basically just linear stories in which the player becomes a passive observer.
  • It's almost impossible to go back and fix bugs and plot holes while progressing with the newest character at this speed. Content older than 2 months can barely be updated.
  • Again: New sexual content is released too slowly.
This is what I want to change and improve on:
  • More focus on sex scenes / release of new sexual content every month (= twice as often as before)
  • Sex scenes are interactive, more rewarding and much more versatile
  • Create additional sprites to invigorate characters in dialogue and animated scenes
  • Include events like threesomes over time (which is much easier if there are not so many new characters to take care of)
  • Potentially include new or extended systems (like lust points, items etc.)
Those would be the disadvantages in my opinion:
  • Story progression is slowing down since more content is added to existing scenes
  • New characters aren't introduced on a regular basis anymore

Please let me know what you think about this. I'm looking forward to your feedback and discussion! :)

May the Power protect you all!

10/10 What a great game! I love the writing and the options given. Is there a gallery option in the works?

Anyway, I definitely like the game so far! Just some small things that I think would be better would be maybe more replayability. Something to consider down the line if you want to add more content to the girls like Kim and Trini. Doing all the female rangers is ambitious but it's just something I was thinking about while playing through. Maybe have more variety with the endings. I don't think keeping things vanilla is a problem now, but it might be interesting if you could push the girls to do more 'kinky' things.

It's a tough choice. If new content is released to slowly, I think that might hurt the game in the long run, interest could wane. I don't really mind the pace, Power Rangers is mostly implausible and silly, so I don't mind implausibility. Everybody should be overly kind and trusting in that universe. I think more sprites during the dialogue are elements that most don't notice and won't draw people in. Where adding to the sex scenes will. Sadly most people don't go to movies after seeing a trailer with lush cinematography, it's more important to nail cool action scenes so people see your movie in the first place. It's a similar principal with the sprites.

I agree with this thought and it is an accurate analogy. It's a sad truth that we as people have developed low attention spans. I guess it's that struggle of finding the right balance between satisfying your audience versus how satisfied with your work. For the moment I'd say work at a pace that you are most comfortable with so that you can be proud of the content you put out there.

@ReaperMan30 @ltpika @Acepter thanks for your feedback, I appreciate it!

You're definitely right in my opinion: It's all about striking the right balance. Until now I feel like I didn't, but of course there's potential to go to the other extreme and be overly perfectionist about this. It's good to know that you mostly care about variety in the endings and adult content, because that's exactly what I'm gonna focus on.

Adding new story sprites and expressions isn't that huge of a deal. So far there has been too much new content for my budget to order extra expressions on old sprites. I simply had to deal with what I had in stock whenever there was a spontaneous or new idea. The most recent example was when Trin is freaking out after entering the Power Chamber. I wished I could've ordered a good sprite for this, but I had to work with the 2 body poses and 5 expressions I got for her. In the future I'll be able to fix this right away, so basically no extra resources are needed.

I'm looking forward to the next version and your feedback about it. I'm confident that you'll like it very much, especially the parts I have in mind about Kim's finale. ;)

One more thing: Thank you all very much for not only playing my game, but also for discussing it, giving constructive feedback and being nice about this. I honestly expected a lot of backlash since this whole VN business is new for me. You're making it quite easy for me since I feel like there are no trolls or haters around although Power Rangers is a beloved IP and probably easy to screw up. So yeah, thank you very much!

Have a great time everyone!
