Why are you misrepresenting what I wrote? I said the game is fantastic despite my very personal, very subjective distaste for time travel plots. How is that not a HUGE compliment to the developer? At the end of the day these games are a more interactive form of pornography for me and too overly involved plots can take away more from the experience than they add. If you play these games for the story that's cool.Alright we have guys who say they like the game, but one doesn't like animations and the other doesn't like time trave. I predict next we'll hear from a guy who's vehemently anti-redhead and hates big boobs, but still declares Scarlett best girl.
Nothing wrong with that at all and thank you for the polite response!Hahaha this bit won't get you many "friends" in this thread since most of us that follow this thread and game enjoy time travel plotsbut I understand why some people don't enjoy them, it is an acquired taste of that sub genre of sci-fi that I learned to love since a young age.
My point is the characters are so well crafted that I annoys immensely me when the focus shifts away from them too long. Does that make more sense? I love the smaller interactions and scenarios between the main cast of characters and how the relationships evolved with the MC. Those would have worked just as well in a fantasy, sci-fi or contemporary scenario or wherever you would plop down these characters.IDK how you can call a time travel plot unnecessary when thats literally the plot of the game. its not like the main focus is actually the MC passing school, the main story of the game is the time travel plot. Its fine that you dont like time travel plots, but its integral to the story way more than every other side story

And would you play this game if it had zero sexual content? Is the plot good enough to stand on it's own? For me the answer is no, nor have I ever played a western adult game where that's the case. Maybe some of the Japanese Eroge classics would qualify. So it's frustrating to me if a talented developer spends a lot of time and energy on parts of the game that in my super humble opinion don't need it.
I'm not trying to antagonize anyone. I'm not trying to shit on the game. Just voicing what I would like to see more and less of in future updates. Does the developer need to listen to anything I say? Absofuckinglutely not, it's their vision.
I would, and there are a quite a few other VNs I would read without the sexual stuff as well.And would you play this game if it had zero sexual content? Is the plot good enough to stand on it's own?

Fortunately, you can skip past all those unnecessary time-travel scenes that intrude between the sex scenes.My point is the characters are so well crafted that I annoys immensely me when the focus shifts away from them too long.

That sounds vaguely like another kind of time travelFortunately, you can skip past all those unnecessary time-travel scenes that intrude between the sex scenes.
Why is the lingerie store selling detergent and whatever else the stuff in the back is supposed to be? This is yet another issue with AI "upscaling", it changes shit you don't want it to change, and takes control away from the human. In the first image, thought has gone into every little detail of the image by someone (though the store was likely made by a different person than the model), and thus makes sense. The background, the bikini pattern, the colour of the sunglasses, even her boob size is different. It's hard to have consistency between renders.I know AI is obviously controversial, but I do wonder if in a few years there will be a suitable and efficient workflow for VN devs to use it to "upscale" normal renders to make them look more realistic. Getting facial expressions to look right is the hardest, but there are workflows out there to do it, its just incredibly resource intensive and complicated.
Duh, Skynet knows that filthy humans have to wash their unnecessary cloth coverings due to their inefficient carbon-based biology.Why is the lingerie store selling detergent and whatever else the stuff in the back is supposed to be?

the AI ones look like shit.I know AI is obviously controversial, but I do wonder if in a few years there will be a suitable and efficient workflow for VN devs to use it to "upscale" normal renders to make them look more realistic. Getting facial expressions to look right is the hardest, but there are workflows out there to do it, its just incredibly resource intensive and complicated.
Was genuine well wishing though. Mixed with a positive and a negative feedback (HS models look good and the roles of the sexes are awful).Everyone is free to have their own opinion, and I’m not judging. However, I think it would be better if you put more effort into explaining and defending your point of view, rather than just posting a short, blunt comment that ends with "good luck dev." To me, that feels a bit hypocritical and comes off with a passive-aggressive tone, which isn’t very pleasant.
I think it would be awesome IF the AI would very precisely follow the produced render. Or if one had very strong control over it, like give command to make the same picture again, but "change breast size to this" or "make facial expression like that." Plus perfect consistency and no censorship at all.I know AI is obviously controversial, but I do wonder if in a few years there will be a suitable and efficient workflow for VN devs to use it to "upscale" normal renders to make them look more realistic.

So you want male LIs? Or for the females to be slavering submissives worshiping the MC as he treats them like crap?the roles of the sexes are awful
Virtuous male MC who leads his female LIs who enjoy following. Benevolent patriarchy.So you want male LIs? Or for the females to be slavering submissives worshiping the MC as he treats them like crap?
