Dear dev, I absolutely love the premise and the plans of your game. I started my path to degeneracy with the Gift Reloaded, and I consider it the best game on this site, together with Dreams of Desire. I wish you success, but I have one criticism. The girls all look plain, undetailed, unattractive and generic. I do not wish to degrade your work, but they do not look like the "main" girls, rather as tertiary filler models, usually a padding to give the game length, before you get mom and sis on their knees. Looking at the preview screenshots, I would say this game is bland, especially when you compare to DoD with such a stylish design, BaDIK, Broken Dreamers, and other extremely hot models in countless other games being love interests. There's fierce competition, and I would love to see this game succeed due to beautiful models as well as interesting plot.

there is a stigma surrounding sandbox games because there are so many broken confusing jumbled mess games that eventually gets abandoned on this site. so users wouldn't waste their time with it unless it was made by a well-known Dev.
so usually.. new devs will avoid it and go for more linear Style VN.
Yeah absolutely right. The number of games with sandbox gameplay that I find bad is more than the ones I like. Sandbox should definitely not be made by every developer because, as you said, the end of the job can be frustration for most developers. Therefore, Sandbox gameplay is a very risky choice

I think this year was very successful in terms of new games. There are quite a few good new games out. But the gameplay of the majority is VN. As a sandbox lover, I feel a lack of sandbox games for that reason. Judging by the words of Extasy Games and the images of the game, a promising sandbox game is waiting for us.
I can't agree or disagree with your comment.
on one hand, I don't want the dev to change her looks. because she's so HOT and PERFECT. one the other hand, I want a realistic-looking MILF. So I'm gonna leave it up to eXtasy Games
If we don't consider the mother model as a mother, I really liked it too. She has a pretty face. But to be honest she looks so young, at first glance I thought it would be a game between two sisters and the MC. Again, to be honest, I'm sure most people think similar things at first glance. Frankly, if such a thing is possible, I'm in favor of it being matured. Actually, her face doesn't need to be touched too much. Her body looks a little thin. I think making the butt and legs a little bigger would work, and maybe a little boobs too.

Also, I hope the developer doesn't get it wrong. I just wanted to give my opinion. If this makes sense to you too, frankly, I would like you to evaluate it. It is very likely that you will receive comments on this subject after the game is released.

+100 for the Sbox!
More freedom is always good, and it's a great way the separate the game from those regular, linear renpy Kns :ROFLMAO::LOL::D:cool::p

Shattered Minds Character Preview: Sarah

promo_sarah_face.jpg

Today I'm introducing you to another character from my upcoming game, Shattered Minds!

This is Sarah.
She is the new girl at college. She and her family recently moved to town, coming from a big city. She left her old life behind to start anew.
Just like Luna, Sarah is also in MC's class.

She's friendly, open minded and up for any fun!
Even though she initially appears to be the sweet girl next door, she actually has a secret - a secret so serious that it even drove her family to relocate.

Time to learn more about her.

I liked what you did with Fates, but it was too vanilla for my fapping needs.

Based on this new game, it seems like you actually do have interests in the more degenerate forms of porn like mind control/corruption.

The fact that you kept that stuff out of Fates shows some discipline as a dev. I'm looking forward to this new game. Incest mind control is a classic!

This sounds a little like the gift game so I'm really excites to see where this goes. Question for the dev, when we get to use mind control on the girls will it have a visible effect on them, like their face goes blank while you plant suggestions? I love it when you can visually tell you have someone under mindcontrol rather than just a line of text.

Thanks, this has the potential to be the one of the few games I've got excited about in years. I'll 10000% support your patreon if it ends up being what I'm thinking/hoping it will be.

I do agree.
Fates was my attempt to make a game that focused more on the plot and the more serious sides of life.
The erotic/sex part was always more of a side show and more of a bonus.

With Shattered Minds, however, I go completely different ways.
This time it will be a "real" erotic game in which a lot of fetishes will be addressed.
Mind control and incest is only the start.
Oh boy do I have a lot of plans for this one!

Maybe you saw my post in the old "The Gift Reloaded" thread before it was deleted, if not:

I am/was a fan of The Gift myself.
The Gift was the game that actually got me started with making games, a shame it never has been continued...
Shattered Minds is definitely inspired by it, and you'll for sure see parallels to it while playing.

And yes, the face of your victims gets blank while using your mind control power on them :sneaky:

And now you have me haha!! Can't wait for this now, I love the hypno look. It's safe to say that when this launches you will 100% get my financial support!!!! Will there be any mind control in the first release or will it take a few updates to get that power?

Thanks man!
Oh, there's actually a lot of mind control in already.
No major stuff yet, because, you know, one must work their way into the panties of the girls. ;)
You have to corrupt the minds of the girls slowly before you can give them more serious orders.

That sounds awesome!! I don't mind a slow build up as long as I get to put the girls into trance briefly a lot of times on the way to that haha

I'll be honest. If this game is anything like "Gift Reloaded" I'm 100% in. That was one of best implementation of mind control in recent memory. There were exactly 2 other games that were able to scratch same itch. Fingers crossed and I'll be happy to support once it's released.

While I can't for the game's first release. I've been wondering, when you mind control the girls, besides corrupting their minds, will and personality, will you be able to like enhance them, like giving them superhuman strength and agility, that sort of thing?

Or will the mind control ability stay within the confines of the former?

Enhancing won't be possible. So definitely the former.
