Come on, nobody's going to redesign the game. I'm not sure what exactly you mean by the game's design, but I doubt it's going to change.
Correct, and the chances are getting lower with each update. Sunk costs and all that. All the more reasons to settle down on a good game design before pouring considerable efforts into content, polish, and all that stuff. That's what MVPs are for, to lay down a solid foundation as the first step, and do it without wasting resources.

Personally, I didn't find the game boring, but at least in part due to not expecting much from it anyway.
It's fine to like a game, but you have to admit that people that call the game boring have their say, too. It's okay to have low expectations, but then if a game meets them, why is it not valid to slap a 1- or 2-star review and be done?

Oh, absolutely, of course you get a say. I just don't think that this forum is a place where the dev would listen to calls for a design rehaul. Even if it IS something they would consider (which I doubt), you'd have better chances bringing that up over on Patreon.

As for 1-2-star reviews - that's probably more of a subjective thing. I don't think I've ever given a game here a low rating; maybe if it was stolen art, constant lies in regards to development, etc. But I guess low-rated reviews, as long as they contain legit criticism, can also be helpful for the dev.

Again, you are completely entitled to your opinion; like, I get what you're saying and you're not wrong. It just doesn't feel like a sort of project the dev would feel invested enough into to redo from scratch. And if there's too much criticism, it wouldn't surprise me if it ended up abandoned, which is worse in my opinion.

Then they should NOT make a post saying, quote, "I would love to hear how you would do it".

Plus, even if they don't improve this game, there's a chance they can learn something for the next one.

so how can I get the last two scenes? I already did the "provoke/taunt" but I only got the battle animation and the first two scenes
PS: I love this kind of games and the art is amazing

The combat is completely RNG-based; the upgrades you get can have amazing synergy and you beat everything in one attack, or you may not even be able to get past the first monster spawn. Balancing is a mess, some upgrades/talismans are useless, others are completely busted. You can die to a boss in just a few seconds or you can wipe the floor with them before even being able to use the taunt.

That said, it's seriously impressive for something that supposedly only took 2 months to develop. With the art being very high-quality, too. If they actually keep to their promise of releasing regular content updates, I can see this game being fairly enjoyable to play. A budget version of Slay the Spire, with sex scenes.

All in all, looking forward to more.

Well, about the art assets... A bunch of them come from their previous game, Lyndaria: Lust Adventure. Shana is an NPC in that game and theres sex scenes with the solo demon and demon brothers, playing the exact same animations.
The smaller animations that play during battle (after taunting) are brand new, but it's definitely not like all the sexual content in here was actually created for this game, which is disappointing. A shame since the art is good and it seems like we all love her design.

And yes, asset reuse in videogames is a good thing, but that's meant for things like props, environments and buildings e.t.c, not sex scenes...

I mean none of the sex scenes are reused aside from the place holders img in the locked scenes, the previews images are misleading. Theres only two scenes atm, update didnt add any h-content.

Really though, this game would be far better if it had porn in every fight, waiting until the boss for the primary point of the game... I'll probably just gallery unlock every update tbh.

I really like the "teasing the enemy" mechanic and the animation is really hot.

Someone knows about more games with this type of mechanic?
