Without NTR, after a few episodes it will start to get boring.:unsure:
Of course I'll try to make sure that isn't the case! I'm just personally more of a romance path type of guy and not NTR. And as someone pointed out, many recent AI games seem to focus heavily on NTR. Either way you go, you might lose part of your audience. For me, I'll stick to what I like myself as well.

romance path It's acceptable when you love and have sex with the same girl.When you flirt with any woman who comes into my field of vision, you're an asshole.And assholes need revenge from their girlfriends.This happens in real life.

I don't disagree on your first point. I've been working with AI generation for a while now and I know absolutely nothing about Daz for instance. So for me personally the choice was easy to make.

I understand the hate AI gets when 10 similar NTR phone games are released in a week. But this is certainly not that. And as mentioned, I tried to work hard on consistency and the diversity of the characters. And I'm sure (almost) no one has used the model I'm using. But to be fair, some models do tend to look alike.

Ultimately it's a combination of the story and the visuals, I'm hoping the story will be so good that it might remove the hurdle that it's AI generated.

And there's nothing I hate more than having to wait a year between updates on my favorite games. With this way of working, I'm able to focus more time on the story and putting out more frequent updates than the average we've seen.
I haven't played your game yet but I wouldn't take the Anti-AI sentiment to heart imo. It's a tool like anything else. It's not the tool that is bad but the way it's used. There have been some good AI games on here, one of my favorites is AI based in fact. The problem is that because it's so easy to use you now get such a bad ratio of bad games to good games. It's like wading through a sewer to find the one good spot you can stand on.

so is this a solo path game or will there be a harem path?
To be honest, I'm not a 100% sure yet. The trouble with AI, at least with my current skill level, is to have multiple consistent characters in the same screen such as in sex scenes.

It won't be a mc + 5 girls ending. But if I can manage, I would like to work towards several solo paths and an mc + 2 girls ending. But only if I can fit it in the story organically, I want to try to keep it somewhat realistic.

Case in point, it's known that Devs were pressured and threatened before for not liking NTR so don't be afraid of your preferences. Also, I dig Ember and people saying she resembles protagonist from another game, it isn't true. Redheads existed long before that game.

So it’s basically a romcom VN where half your time is trading snark with your stepsis, and the other half is slowly realizing your workplace comedy subplot just turned into a missing person thriller :whistle:

while im interested il probably hold off until there is a more clear answer these days i only play harem games just have zero interest in having to playthrough multiple times to see all the content of the characters that interest me. how about lesbian im personally not a fan and see it as sharing even if it is in a harem game with members of the harem so if you do include group scenes would that be included/avoidable?

I guess it depends on what you call similar. Yes, Ember is a redhead and one of the main LI's. But I think the facial features, body type and things like freckles yes/no are quite different.
I think this is mostly the render style which is nigh-universal for the current AI games. The high gloss, soft airbrushed look that's very much shared across all the popular models, and which does lend to everything appearing the same far more than minor differences in facial features or whether the girls come with beachball-sized tits or slightly more slender.

(though i want to note that i do appreciate this game being more of the latter than the former, proportions-wise)

There will surely be one or more lesbian scenes in the game, might be with the mc there

I can see some pretty pictures for now, and the test is still underway, and that's all. It's hard to say whether the game is crap or not, but I will say that the author made a rather lazy choice in choosing to create such a project.
