Alas! I'm curious - what part of that didn't you like? Always curious to know what works and doesn't work for people.Yeah, I got to the box and that is when I uninstalled the VN. I't a good VN but not for me. Good luck with it
Yes, if you pick the appropriate romance path.
Thank you!
Always good to hear that someone enjoys the game.Unfortunately not. I just don't have the time to build out a full combat system on top of everything else. It would have been cool and it was actually something I really wanted to do, but it takes a lot of work to do it right. I decided to focus on story and renders instead of adding additional stuff, so the combat system got cut.
Just speaking for myself, I kind of prefer it that way. Most combat systems in games like this wind up being awkward at best or outright annoying at worst, and they feel more like an unwanted roadblock between story/sex scenes rather than something I actually want to engage with. It's pretty much unavoidable when you're dealing with small (or solo) dev teams working on games in engines not really designed for combat physics/mechanics in general.
No problem, I just wanted to know this before starting the gameUnfortunately not. I just don't have the time to build out a full combat system on top of everything else.

Exactly. If I was going to do a combat system, it needed to feel like it really added something to the game. If it's just something you have to do, then it's not fun at all. I just don't have the time or Renpy skills to make a really engaging combat system that would truly make PoP better with it than without it. So I focus on the story and narrate the fights, which is much better than creating a QTE minigame where you have to press five keys so you can hit/dodge something.
Aiming for it to be released by the end of the year. Hopefully sooner, of course, but that's the general timeline. Once I get closer to being done, I'll be able to give a more exact date. I'm about 30ish% done with the chapter, FWIW, so I'm making good progress.
Sure.
Hmmm, makes sense. I can see why you would think that. That's not really what happens or what's going to happen, but I can see how you'd connect that all. If you'd played through that, you'd have figured out who/what the narrator is, what's going on with them, and I think you would have understood what I was going for there. But alas.
