Yeah, this game is pretty terrible, even discounting the likely trans-cuckery. Every character lurches around like they have scoliosis, the mom looks like a short ogre, the MC's neck is about 3 feet long and more twisted than a pretzel, and I can feel my IQ draining with every passing line of text. Based on early dialogue it also seems as though the little sister is most likely not even a virgin, which is just one more thing to dislike about this game.

Hard pass.

appreciate you clarifying it game isnt for me based on this but with things like this its better to be open about because it will help you attract the right fanbase to your game vs people like myself sticking around hoping it ends up fitting what im looking for which usually ends up making these comment sections a disaster

What are your mom, sister and aunts name supposed to be? It just defaults to the Spanish for their relation to you.

Well, Kamiyama has made me finish strengthening what I had been thinking for weeks.
If you want to play my visual novel as I thought, I hope you enjoy it and like it.
And if you don't like it, I'm sorry, there are many more visual novels which may meet your tastes and demands.

Therefore, Shandy interacts with other characters and will not be skippable.
So, for those who don't like it, I'm sorry. I hope that other works I create in the future will be more to your liking. In the meantime, enjoy the works of other developers <3

like the game but since its a game does it really have to be so dark you cant barely see in the nigh time id say making it a bit dimmer would suffice but maybe its just me. like the when it shows that its morning but when you look at the sister its almost pitch black but the blinds are open

Hey, just wanted to say thanks for your flexibility about the mom's profession. I'm totally on your side about not compromising your vision and story, so I really appreciate what you've already done.

Personally, I consider trans girls to just be girls, so I don't mind them being with the other girls, as it's effectively just a lesbian scene, and I don't mind those. I still have a strong distaste for infidelity, but as long as MC isn't being betrayed/cheated on, I don't see a problem. If MC is aware of everything that is happening, and is cool with it, it's just polyamory fun.

Based on what you've said, I'm going to go in assuming that it's done in good taste. You said there won't be any NTR, so nothing will be done to hurt the MC. As long as you stick to that, I will continue to greatly enjoy your game. I love it so far, and I am a big fan of well-portrayed trans characters, so I really look forward to future updates.

Thanks for your hard work and dedication, and I wish you the best of success with your game.

So, after looking through their patreon posts, it looks like their plan for the next game is to just make a sequel to this one. They say there may be options to avoid content and completely remove characters from the game, but it seems pointless to give options to skip content, like the futa, only in the sequel, after she probably already fucked every LI in the first game. At that point, you're not avoiding anything, you're just stopping it happening again.

Unfortunately it looks like my hope that the next game would be more playable than this one is unlikely to be realized. Still, while I may hate certain fetishes and games, I harbor no hatred for Devs simply for the kinds of games they choose to make and continue to wish the Dev good luck with this and all their future games.

BCS, excellent story/game. Looking forward to the next update. Are you planning to include pregnancy? Just got to see the women in the family fucking with baby bumps. Best of luck. How about some kind of corruption log for the women? Or a diary?

As some patrons I've spoken to privately know (I even think I've mentioned it in this thread but I've gone into less detail) Apart from being my first development and having made multiple failures in different doctrines, one of those failures was not knowing the average visual novel player and the common pain points between them since I like all of you, am and have been mainly a spectator with their particular tastes and knowing my tolerance levels regarding content, I assumed people are just as open minded as I am and what I don't like I would just ignore it, mainly am and have been a spectator with their particular tastes and knowing my tolerance levels regarding content, I assumed that people are just as open minded as I am and what they don't like they would simply ignore, valuing more the overall whole (I was wrong haha).

And now knowing that, the sequel of shades of the past or any other development I can make it, at least in some issues, to everyone's liking.

I'm not a fan of avoidable content just because, I like internal coherence in that sense, so, if there is avoidable content, I prefer that it has some implication in the story, no matter how small it may be. And that coherence I'm talking about can be seen even in the renders, if you press the skip button the whole sequence of renders and animations feel like a short film, whether the renders and animations are worse or better, but it looks like a short film.

Well then, I appreciate your comment and I encourage from here all those who got off the boat of Shades of the past because of some content to get back on in the sequel as it will be better in every way, and for the more exceptional haha it will be possible to avoid content.

Pregnancy is one of the fetishes that may or may not appear in the sequel. It will be submitted to a vote among the patrons.

I have absolutely no issue with Shandy being in the game or even with her being a love interest, I just have no interest in seeing her being at all sexual with the other love interests. I have no interest at all in seeing another penis, regardless of who it's attached to, interacting with other love interests. So long as those scenes are unavoidable, any interest I had in this story is completely gone, including any possible sequel as those incidents have already unavoidably happened and no future choices to stop it happening again will undo what has already happened. If we were given an option to stop her having any sexual interactions with other love interests in this first game, I would have no problem continuing to play and enjoy the game.

The only reason I continue to comment and interact on this thread is because I did genuinely enjoy the game and would like to continue enjoying the game, otherwise I would have simple ignored the thread and moved on. Unfortunately, as it stands now with Shandy's potential scenes with other love interests being completely unavoidable, this game and any continuations of this same story will remain unplayable for me.

Was playing this mainly for the aunt but now that shandy has entered the game I feel like the next few updates are going to be filled with some NTR/Cuckery bullshit especially since shandy is moving in with the co-worker from the café. And as the Dev has stated he has no plans for making content avoidable in this game so its only a matter of time before shandy ends up fucking all the MC's LI's. So I imagine a lot of players my self included will stop playing.

I don’t understand what the problem is with simply adding a skip function. No one would feel negatively about it. Those who want to continue and see scenes with trans characters can watch them. Those who don’t want to can skip :unsure:

Skipping wouldn't really solve anything, if it still happens, even if it's not seen, then it still ruins the game for many people. An option to stop it happening entirely is what it would take to save this game, and likely the sequel, for many of us. Though an option to avoid can functionally be very similar to a skip option, just add some dialogue that has the MC say they aren't comfortable with Shandy fucking other LI's, don't play the scenes where she does, and don't have anyone mention anything relating to having sex with Shandy. It would, of course, mean either a lot of skipped content that involves Shandy, like the potential harem orgy, or a lot more work for the Dev to make an alternate scene without her, or a lot of editing to cut out the parts of the scene that have Shandy involved with others.
