TL;DR: cartoon girls > uncanny valley girls, sometimes less is moreIf you’re the dev please ignore the comments here, procedural generated positions is genius. This mean it never gets boring seeing the same positions over and over again.
Please don’t listen to these people here as they constantly give praise to Virtual Novels which are not games and are completely non interactive. I think the next step is to add AI chat like a LLM. This would make this the most sandbox and unique game!
To be fair... I don't think anyone here said that the concept or procedurally generated sex was a bad idea, just that they don't like the way the characters look.
I don't know exactly how this style of character is made, but I've seen it growing in popularity, and I agree that it is off-putting somehow. It's almost like there's a slider for "realistic movement and lighting" that's turned way up, but another slider for "realistic skin texture" that's been turned all the way to OFF, and the combination makes some of us feel like we're looking at ancient graphics. It's like the 32bit or PS1 era version of retro "pixel graphics" that behave like modern games and use modern color sets, except ... less cool.
All that said, there are clearly many OTHER people that are on-board for it, and the general concept seems sound. I certainly hope the dev keeps working on it. If I may add, allowing people to add their own custom dialogue was something that I loved about certain versions of SDT back in the day, and I've wished more stuff would do that. Hint, hint...
This is all before I've actually played it, so I'll give it a go and come back with my thoughts again after.
