With how big the update are… I don’t see it being feasible without dramatically increasing dev time. Maybe in the future, who knows. The game will have a choice later on to basically have two endings, but that’s a bit further down the road.
I find it very funny that people insist you add options when you've explained many times why not, hahaha.

I know, but I can't blame people for wanting more agency, especially if certain decisions I make are not in line with what people would personally prefer. It is and will always be the biggest downside of the game. I know that and don't deny it.

When I started out with making Shadows of Ambition, it was just a fun side project, to see if I have what it takes to create something people would enjoy and I think I can say I've achieved that and for future projects, they will be more choice heavy.

But those will most likely come with longer development times, so before I do something like that, I want to build a good reputation with the community. (As well as I can).

Hiya i Like the game im gonna sub, just a word of caution about your previous post, one thing i've noticed reading posts on this forum and other games i've subbed to is that when developers start listining to there fans to much it all starts to go wrong, everyone wants something different.

Have a plan stick to that plan and you have less chance of becoming disheartened about the direction the game is going, they will either like it or not, you will never please everyone.

good luck

There needs to be a balance. As long as the feedback doesn't clash with my vision of the game, I think it's fine. If people's feedback is: Why didn't Alice get gangbanged by 20 black cocks this update? You should fix that immediately, then obvious I take it with a grain of salt. If the feedback is more like: I didn't quite like the way "This" or "That" was presented, it feels wrong or doesn't fit the story so far, then that's another matter.

Constructive feedback is important. At the end of the day, my goal is to keep improving and make the game better. Sometimes that means going back and fixing older stuff that doesn't meet my current quality standard anymore as I learn and improve...

"Luke will get entangled in a whole bunch of different hot scenarios which will test his resolve. Will he stay the pure hearted soul that he is, or will he surrender himself to corruption?... As this is a Kinetic Novel, no player choices will be available to alter the story."

One of the best overview jokes Ive seen around...i would guess whoever wrote that in RL has to work in politics or at least in marketing:KEK:

It is normal to use these expressions in introductions to entertainment works such as manga, novels, and anime, where the story does not diverge in its development. This is because you do not know how the story will unfold until you experience it.
For example, in the introduction of a movie, the following phrase is used:
“Is the protagonist innocent? Or is he guilty?”
No one would say, “It's a joke to write this when the outcome is already known.

Except most movies actually have plot twists, and you DONT know whether the protagonist did it or not. In AVN-land we most definitely KNOW characters wont stay puritans :LOL:

It will be replaced at some point, it's just not a priority.

I'm looking forward to the update! I don't know about others, but personally, games like My New Girlfriend and the Shadows of Ambition allow me to relax mentally to some extent. These projects have a lightness and appeal that many others lack. I play these two games from time to time just to cheer myself up, I like the atmosphere there.

That's a big update o.o, took not even 3 months and it's bigger than what other creators put out in a year xD
That feel when the porn game developer doesn't immediately go into a downturn of effort and endless stretching and postponing of what the players want after a couple updates. Not to glaze too much, but we genuinely don't deserve Abyss.
