I understand the point, but it seems absurd to me. My intention with the mother is that it would result in an unpleasant character and the relationship between mc and mother was originally going to be more conflictive but it just doesn't fit mc's personality. The fact that she is a prostitute is not even made to generate morbidity or to be liked, in fact, the intention is that it results in the maximum degradation to which someone can fall.

I understand that people don't understand the character or don't like her, but as I said weeks ago, the story of shades of the past is divided in this first part where I'm giving an introduction to the characters really, and a second game that will be much bigger where routes will be included with each character where your choices will define where your relationship with them goes. But if just because mom is a prostitute is enough reason for someone to stop following the development of shades of the past and its future sequel, that's fine (?) it's their loss, I don't know.

And if someone in a fictional story is affected enough by mom being a whore or being with other men, to the point of calling me a retard, a meme making fun of their moral compass or their tastes, I think it's insufficient because of how funny the situation is. It makes you jealous that mom is with other men? okay, understandable, but based on that to judge a whole work or directly insult me? who has done so much damage to these people? xD
People lack education. maybe that's why incest is good, polyamory is bad.
insults aside, to which I agree with you, since one of the lis is a prostitude ( especially a family member), you should add the prostitution tag and depending on context the ntr tag as well.

and if you plan to make a polyamory game where everyone fucks with everyone, make it clear in your notes, because not everyone is in that delusion that that sort of relationship is an actual relationship. also if that is the case, sharing/swinging might be also required to be added to the tags.


best of health and best of luck, I shall take my leave.

Just skimming through comments I don't see many people calling you out directly. Weird you took people saying they don't like their MC's mom whoring herself when she's supposed to be a LI as an insult to you. You have no Prostitution, NTR, sharing or swinging tag so you will have people play the game based off the tags currently presented and yes most of us click the Genre and Dev Notes tab to see "Future Tag's" Before commiting to play and there's nothing there about it either. MOST people dont like that sh*t so idk how you can get so offended. If none of those tags are present then normally its pretty safe from this type of stuff, especially if it's supposed to be a harem game. If the prequel is supposed to be just tons of dark drama what exactly is the point in playing it lol.

I'm just saying there are better ways to communicate things or your dissatisfaction with something. I didn't know tags were SOOOOO important, when I'm looking for a visual novel to play I care more about the synopsis than anything else, I don't even pay attention to tags.

But if for the majority (?) they are so important, now I know it, and for next updates I'll make sure that all the corresponding tags are there and that's it.

Wanted to let you know I was not intending to offend or insult with my comment. Just giving constructive criticism. I'm still playing the game, as long as the mom's route will be avoidable. So far, I really like the aunt, sister, and Yuko.

I was really hoping that all the hinting at mom being a prostitute was going to be a mislead, and I am very disappointed that it's true, but as long as I can avoid any content with her in the future, I think there's still plenty of content left to make the game enjoyable.

Please just be aware that many, possibly most, incest/harem fans will drop a game without a second thought if any family member is promiscuous, works in the sex industry(including camgirls), or is in a relationship with another man. It's a very very sensitive fanbase.

No, don't worry. My response to you was rather general regarding the issues you have raised and not so much directed to you.

To be honest, I am very alien to the VN communities and until now I only enjoyed the content and supported on patreon the creators that I liked the most for their works as a way to thank them. But I didn't know that there were such marked “pain points”.

But well, just like with trans content, I don't mind giving the option to omit the sexual scenes related to the mother if it's something so relevant to people.

I get it's probably a pretty big ask, but could the mother just be rewritten to not be a whore? Haven't actually played the game so I'm not sure how pivotal that plot point is to the story.

mmm... yes, I think his dialogues are not so coarse as to be an impediment.
it is not particularly crucial, it was just a way of materializing the degradation of a person, but I think it could be changed.

So we can expect in the next update all the degrading dialogues are will be rewrite/changed?

I'm not played but I want to give one last chance before ignoring. because based on the comments, some of the female characters are really nice except the mom characters.
Also please mention which is avoidable and unavoidable in dev notes. It helps you less headache ;)

If the degrading dialogue is rewritten, all the characters and fetishes are completely avoidable, and we give the players the option to choose the path we want, then I'll give it a try.

I know it's a lot, but that's what every fans wants to hear from devs before playing or supporting.

I'm not asking to change your game story, it's yours after all.

Stay tuned for the next changelogs and notes ;)

and thanks to all of you who have been polite in telling me about the relevance of tags and dev notes. I as a player have never particularly noticed either of them, maybe sometimes in the tags in a superficial way, and as a dev I haven't given them the importance they seem to have.

i am concerned about the amount of messages about how to change the language. for the next update i will make it more obvious that the spain and usa flags are for changing the language.

I'd have something like this pop up before the main menu

Apologies if the Spanish is wrong, I relied on google translate

incase someone has a similar problem, you change the language by clicking the small flags in the lower right corner on the title/menu screen
