For fuck's sake, Abyss. You're one of the few porn game developers I feel sympathy for these days, considering how consistent you are with your delivery pipeline, how civil you remain with some of these comments, and with how great the game is overall. If you don't stop flat out ignoring these dogshit troll comments, I will get upset
on your behalf.
(Just kidding, I know it ain't that serious.)
Also, great update in general. There are certain ways (or, I guess, poses) I wish there would have been in the last scene of the update (where Alice was less "secondary" to Sophie in their scene with Liam, if you catch my drift), and I wish the bartender scene had gone a bit beyond the teasing (though that is - admittedly - just the coomer in me speaking, and I understand it's a bit too early in Alice's development and would've jumped the shark a little, maybe), but the sheer volume of content is amazing, and the presentation just keeps getting better and better. All the added animations (especially goofy shit like the volleyball teams' versus screen) add a lot of personality to the game.
Also, I'm pretty sure that Andrea is firmly my second favourite (after Alice) now, though I see a lot of promise in Sarah as well. Andrea's scene was personally the highlight of the update for me.
One thing I am maybe slightly worried about is that one of the coolest things about Shadows of Ambition for me is that it's actually developing a plot around all the porn (with Nyct X etc), and I'm just worried that because it's a porn game, and the customers want porn, it will take too long of a time to develop the actual "plot" swirling around all the carnality. It's kinda similar in Vulgar Reverie, where the mafia plot in the background does sort of get touched upon often, but it usually happens very briefly at the very end of new updates, so the actual pace is very glacial. I suppose it doesn't
really matter, and the game is great even when it's mostly just a slice-of-life, but I just hope you've got good things planned for that whole overarching plotline.
Hear hear. Bro is getting 3 hours of sleep a night and is putting pretty much every other developer to shame. I'm really worried about the shadows of his ambition creeping up to him and leading to burnout, 'cause if he burns out on making this game, I will lose my shit.
But yeah, I will repeat this ad infinitum with SoA (and other similar projects, like VR and CoM); anybody
can generate some AI porn, but the bigger storyline in the game is what would probably keep me coming back to the game even if I randomly woke up tomorrow completely stripped of libido.
Also, I wonder if the MNGF crossover reference here is a hint towards content in an upcoming MNGF update, 'cause Vi getting up to shenanigans in a new photoshoot is...something I would very much like to see (and hopefully without Circle shying away from letting Vi let loose a bit more).
