Alright, finished almost every quest in this + I completed Seleka
I can see what the guy from earlier in the thread was saying when they said something along the lines of Roxanne trying to be like Seleka. To a decent extent it's a clone. I don't think that's necessarily bad since what Seleka brought to the exhibitionism genre was fundamentally good and lessons ought to be learned from what it did and its upcoming sequel will do, although it does feel a little off-putting seeing how very similar the mechanics are. I suppose they might change with time.
On the flip side I appreciate the new concepts Roxanne brings to the table. Seleka just being like "hey you get a magic paycheck for doing this stuff" is gamey (not that I don't appreciate the game) - you being able to do streams & share photos on the Not Twitter™ for cash is a neat thing for immersion, although I will say it does feel kinda grindy (and personally I don't like grindy games) considering how much you can pull in with a livestream versus how much interesting stuff costs in the shop. I would hope the money is balanced better over time or maybe adjusted via a difficulty setting, assuming there aren't any new forms of moneymaking coming down the pipeline.
I also think the animations here feel a bit better. Smoother, maybe? If you spammed keys fast enough in Seleka the animations the protag makes feel kinda robotic, whilst you don't (or can't) have that here with how emotes work. I think someone mentioned something similar to that effect earlier, and I see what they mean now. Stuff could still be improved here and there, though, especially regarding positions of hands for certain emotes (most or all of the ones involving her rubbing a breast ends up having her rubbing air since I'm not a huge tits guy so I turned the size of them down lol).
I would once again like to mention how I like the expressions she makes. I suppose there's a broader appeal for the ahegao/fucked silly kind of expression the Seleka protag makes, but personally I'm less of a fan of that, so I really like the embarrassed/shy expressions Roxanne has.
Movement and camera controls feel a bit clunky at times, imo, particularly when running for extended periods. Suddenly going down to walking speed after running out of stamina makes logical sense, although I would prefer if it was more like a slow jog rather than immediately back to walking. I'd also like to have the option to hold shift to run rather than it being a toggle - it's been fucking with my muscle memory lmao. Movement when livestreaming with the camcorder is on its own level of fucked up, too, although I presume you already know that.
Overall, pretty neat. Definitely keeping tabs for future updates.
I'll try to stop posting walls of text now, lol - haven't been around F95 for a hot minute and I come back to what seems to be a golden age (or at least a damn good time) for ENF-focused exhibitionism games so I'm eager to share a lot of thoughts

On the topic of finishing quests, is there a trick to getting more viewers on livestreams? Literally the only thing I have left to check off is the one where you get 4.8k viewers on a stream with Luna and I could barely hit 4k in the few attempts I did before running out of energy. My current method just involves me setting up the camcorder facing us + have Luna get naked + I get naked then spam emotes/animations in front of the camera. I do have god mode unlocked, so should I walk her up to the lobby and do it in front of the crowd in there or something (riskier shot -> more views?)?
