In addition to what the others have already said above, there's no actual need for a full fledged story imo. Despite Oni stating he was going to make "a fully formed dating sim with a full story mode" I doubt it's going to be easy to implement a story mode to what there already is. Well, he may add some events that expand on girls' story for example. And as leathermax said:

What this game needs is more variety; the game already has 6 girls and there are more to come I guess, but having more events, more locations, more dating options, etc. would be amazing. We did get a pool location not so long ago, but it didn't add much for me. Yes, you can sunbathe, swim and skinnydip, but these are very small events where you can undress the girls and lose a quarter of in-game time. It also added swimwear for the girls and that's about it.

So adding more variety can help expand the game's already great replayability. The problem right now is that the game may start to bore its old players. As for me, I know almost every single line of dialogue there is, I know what to do and what to say for certain meters to increase, I can bang and take control of all the girls in 10 to 20 days, so on and so forth.
And adding a full story mode would probably change the game entirely. Or it сould be easier to make a new game with a story mode (for example, Four Elements Trainer), not a dating sim which it already is.

Chiming in on the story discussion, full agreement, this game doesn't NEED a story, it just needs more variety with what you can do with the girls. Outfits, positions, etc.

While I can appreciate porn games that try to be games, the main reason anyone messes with these things is for masturbation fodder. If it takes longer than an hour to get to anything fappable, something has gone wrong in terms of design.

With updates as slow as they are. getting a story shoved in here looks like a herculean task that Oni doesn't even want to do. Why do some people want every erotic game to be everything?

Want more sotry? read or watch the show/comic. This is an erotic sim. If oni wanted to add more dialogue to spice things up. that would be cool.

This game has cool concepts, but oni is not a good writer.

Edit: I agree with Swampy_Leshij more variety and sexy events. no stupid visual novel.

Plus, more often than not, stories in those kind of games get annoying and old real fast, especially if they keep you from the content you may actually want (4ET is an example with its 4 books, Something Unlimited is another, throwing the player in jail at a certain point. If the characters there are not to your liking, it's basically a few days of forced boredom). So imagine the bitching if you're forced, for example, to date Emma, and get forced into a sub relation with her, as she blackmails your sorry ass not to expose the addictive part of your power to Xavier. Or you absolutely *have* to date Jean, because you need this to advance some quest or plot to get Rogue's booty.

But, the absolute worst: Imagine Oni, in his usual breakneck speed, adding a story.
1.322a - Added 200 words and a pose for Squirrel Girl.
1.322b - Fixed 58 typos.
...
1.322κ - Fixed 72 other typos.

We'd need Wolverine's healing factor not to die of old age before this would move anywhere.

Nah, I agree it's all about the variety. Some more locations and situations. I'd vote for Missions, similar to what CLIT is doing.
Something to get away from the Institute. Maybe even just some better dates. Go shopping with Kitty. Clubbing with Rogue. Break into the Hellfire Club with Emma. Go visit Batman with Gwenpool, idk man, there's tons of options just to make the days at the Institute not feel as dull..

Love and sex 2nd base is absolutely worst when it comes to story, most events are RNG gated or time limited (most of the time it's both), if you get

I do support addition of events like Rogue note trading Durning class, or Kitty getting present, but there absolutely no need for some major story arcs, let this story be on casual and lighthearted side.

I guess a story wouldnt be too bad depending on how involved it was in relation to the game itself. Bits of lore and stuff that could expand the world wouldnt be too bad but if it went and affected how you had to play the game i'd be a bit put off by it. I'd say giving each girl a small story themed event wouldnt be too bad if you learn more about them and get the option to make choices that let you continue the playstyle you wanted (like say laura taking you on a mission or rogue wanting to take you to a nostalgic place for a date but getting the option to decline.)

yeah those can be like events that happen only once and wouldnt affect the main stuff and can be missed if u dont like a certain girl.

I hope Oni adds in more control options. Like have Kitty meow during her sentences or bringing Laura for a "walk" or have Emma teach class with vibe on or telling rogue she has to stop herself from cumming during sex etc. Maybe petplay with the girls or bondage like tieing up Jean in the in Emma's room as a gift for Emma or tieing up a girl in public and leaving them there.

Also will the girls get more clothing options in the future?

Despite how slow Oni is with adding meaningful content to this game, I'll admit I like the base gameplay loop. Learning to seduce a woman with flirting and casual touching is nice change of pace when compared to a lot of these kind of games. Before I found this game, I was getting sick of the fact that porn games either forced you to be a simp or forced you to almost mind-break a girl. This game offers that kind of stuff but I feel like it also gives us a lot more freedom as to how we seduce a girl which is why I keep coming back to it.

If I had a wish for future updates it'd be nice to have a better way to manage relationships with the girls, getting the wrong two girls in the showers tends to ruin efforts to keep relationships clearly defined. For example, If I'm Kitty's boyfriend and Laura is a crazed fuck buddy maybe I want to keep those two aspects a bit more separate and the showers makes doing that a lot harder. If anything I wish you could tell a girl to 'only be naughty when we're alone' so that you have better control over who you seduce and how you build your harem.

In terms of additional content and a story, I don't think this game needs much. Give each girl special date events that unlock an outfit and that's probably a decent reward here's my preferred options.

Rogue - Lost in the Savage Land (Makeshift shirt and skirt from ripped green cloth)
Kitty - Retro Costume Party (Classic Black and yellow Shadowcat costume, with black body suit optional)
Emma - Hellfire Club Visit (Cape, full corset, Black Queen variant of her wardrobe or diamond skin variant)
Laura - Combat Mission (Sexy Wolverine costume, and Claws always out option)
Jean - Role-Playing Gone Awry (Madelyne Pryor costume and names (i.e. Maddie or Madelyne))
Storm - African Vacation (Tribal style costume)

I'd also like an optional ending involving Xavier, where you get the choice to leave the institute with the girls you've claimed or use your influence to take over the institute to turn it into your own harem. Beyond all my suggestions and ideas that I think this game given the nature of the content would probably be good with 12 girls total, but knowing Oni getting all that done without bugs would take until 2030.

A man can dream can't he?

Did anybody ever catch girls going on eachother? I remember it was adder some versions ago, but ive NEVER seen it still...

I remember once I was pretty advanced with Rogue and Kitty, and had them perform in front of me a few times. Then, I stopped paying attention to them in order to advance with other girls, and a few days after, Rogue called me to say that she and Kitty were on it, so I could go and voyeur them or join if I wanted. I never go on dates with the girls in the main game because it's a huge money loss I'd rather invest into bikinis, so I suppose that if you take your time to take two girls on dates to improve their relation, something like that will likely happen sooner or later.
