~~ Kind words:
This is the highest quality production VN I've ever seen produced to date, IMHO. I might even go as far as saying it's above Dreams of Desire (which is my #1 VN).
As a designer-hobbyist myself I can't but just envy your work. The models, lightning and arrangements are superb. It's so photorealistic I thought you included real pictures into the game just by looking at the screenshots.
~~ Harsh words:
The intro is, at this point, incredibly long. As many people have said already: it gets really boring after the first 2 minutes. I'm not saying your work on it is wasted, but you should follow the pattern: 10-20% intro + 70-80% main story + 10% "conclusion" (while in development, this last bit should be something 'catchy' to make people impatient for your next release). You should have kept the intro shorter and saved the renders for the next releases where you could add more to the intro as you added more to the main story.
I'll just reiterate over some other issues others have pointed out, that really negatively affect my personal gameplay:
* Rollback disabled by default
* preferences.skip_unseen hidden from the preferences menu (I enjoy VNs by looking, not reading)
* Right click should go to Saves
* The main menu is overcoloured. A personal suggestion would be to desaturate the postcard background and make the button's onhover effect permanent (so there'd be no need to hover to know what each button does, and the buttons backgrounds would still add that extra detail).
Please keep up the awesome work.
