Well I thought it was lovely and had a nice romantic moment and that's what matters to me. That and it did have good plot progressions with the cure working. Tho I also agree to a extent since I don't really like any of the slideshows and was hoping to finally leave the cave. But that seems to be coming next update
This is what the dev promised, and apart from the slideshow one he didn't fullfill any.
It had only one lewd scene and had zero choices whatsoever.

So you not only missed the choice in-game because of your poor choices in-game, but also the discussion of that choice on this very page

I got most of that lol sounds like you only played one path. The major romance choice was telling the one girl to stay friends or peruse a romance with the other remnant girl I forget their names. 1 lewd scene for both solo and throuple paths. Only one I don't recall is a major plot choice but I probably forgot what it was.

well it depends on your definition what counts as major, but it's pretty big, because if you encourage them towards romancing each other that can eventually change into the harem route. If you don't, no harem for ya. So it's a pretty major decision.

Yes, but that's the "major romance path choice" from the chapter roadmap. There was no major plot choice... well there wasn't really any other choice in this update. That's why I find it so baffling that people still ask for a walkthrough mod for this game when there is at maximum two decisions per update. Personally I have nothing against kinetic novels, actually I prefer those, so I don't get why this VN is going for the bare minimum to avoid it. This VN can not be described as choice based in any way.

Yeah id call this Kinetic lite as the only choice that comes up that seems to impact anything is if we are in a throuple , solo or harem path otherwise everything else is just for flavor as far as I can remember

I've been playing this game since its first release, I really like it, it's been in my signature for years, the first signatures for this game were requested by me in the GFX thread, I love the story, the characters, etc.
BUT I think it's about time I commented on three aspects of the game that have been nagging me almost since day 1, and that I have never mentioned because I expected them to get better with time, which they haven't. Also, I didn't want to be confused with a hater or stuff like that.
Here I go:
1) In my opinion, the sex scenes are really bad. Those animations are robotic and horrible, and it's a shame that the sex scenes are mostly made up of those animations and nothing else. I can't understand how it would sound like a good idea to get the characters naked suddenly, without showing anything, and then have them fuck in one single position in a robotic animation that is as exciting as watching monkeys mating in a National Geographic documentary. If a dev can't make good enough animations (which is absolutely understandable and fine by me), you should resort to still renders instead to develop those intimate scenes. Show the characters kissing, caressing each other, getting naked, getting into position, facial expressions, detailed cumshots, etc. All of it only using still renders.
This game is not about sex, but about the story; I'm absolutely OK with that. But that doesn't mean that, when there's an erotic scene, it can't be erotic.
2) The music is repetitive and tiresome. Seriously, there are lot of free tracks on the internet to add a little more variety. I'm absolutety sick of that orchestral tune that we always hear during hiking scenes and others, for example. It's been there since day 1 and been overused ad nauseam.
3) If I'm not mistaken, there isn't a single transition between scenes or fade to black in the whole game, which makes the passing from one scene to another feel sudden and abrupt. You are sleeping, then you click and *bam* in the next render you are already on the road, with no transition between both situations. Or maybe the MC and Maria are talking about something in the morning, and then the subtitles read "You spend the rest of the day doing X and are now ready for Y". And indeed, the next render takes you to the scene where the MC is doing Y, skipping a big chunk of time without anything inbetween to ease the narration into it. I'm not sure if I'm managing to get my point across.
And that's all I wanted to complain about, for what it's worth.
Keep playing and choosing the harem path. Every single female in this game deserves a cure

I've been considering doing an update after Chapter 25 to fix some of those things (and others you haven't mentioned). No promises or details yet, but it's definitely on my mind. My dev schedule was designed for when I worked <40 hours/week from home, not >40 hours/week with an hour commute each way + job searching. Little details like you're describing have been the first thing to go, since they take a disproportionate amount of time compared to things like "standard" renders. Depending on how everything works out, I'd ideally be able to do a full pass of the game and add that sort of stuff (transitions, transition images, idle animations, more music, etc) in before the final Steam launch. I'm only hesitant in committing to that because I don't think I've gone two weeks this year without an unexpected curveball (ie layoff/paycut, family health issues, housing problems, etc). The moment I commit to something like that, I'm sure my GPUs will explode.I've been playing this game since its first release, I really like it, it's been in my signature for years, the first signatures for this game were requested by me in the GFX thread, I love the story, the characters, etc.

No, don't commit to anything demanding right away. You should go little by littleI've been considering doing an update after Chapter 25 to fix some of those things (and others you haven't mentioned).

The moment I commit to something like that, I'm sure my GPUs will explode.
For example, the transitions, fades to black, etc. are things that you can start applying immediately in the next episodes of the game. Sometimes you won't even need additional renders, but just a coded-in effect marking the end of a scene (e.g. at night) and the beginning of the following (e.g. getting up in the morning or whatever). It would depend on the situation.
Well, shit, I hope things are looking up for you in your personal and professional life.
