OKAY! See now that makes it more clear for me. Thank you for the clarification. I'll give it a shot. Good luck and thanks for the upload!

You should be proud of this initial effort, Robert. The plot and narrative are pleasingly simple -- you haven't over-complicated them, or introduced too many LIs. For a slice-of-life game, you've also done well by including some semi-dramatic (and seemingly separate) plot strands.This means a lot. Thank you!
The best part, so far, is the distinctiveness of your LIs... their personalities are tightly drawn, and none of them (with the possible exception of Liz) are porn tropes.
Keep it relatively simple, continue to write with empathy and feeling, and allow the player a couple meaningful choices... and this could be a really nice little game.
Finished the current version and for a first VN, it's not too bad. The version number is a little confusing, being v0.7 i'd assume 7 releases, but it appears to be the third, starting at v0.2? Anywho, the story is pretty straight forward and there isn't too much content yet, but i'll probably keep a casual eye on it At some point, when there's more content, getting someone to proofread the dialogue might be a good idea. The writing is definitely not the worst i've seen, but some of the dialogue seemed off. Good luck with your project!

Good luck with your project!Well just finished the current build and I have to say I enjoyed it. It's a very good start and holds a lot of promise. Yes there is not a lot of content yet but I wasn't expecting there to be with an initial release.
Good points for me are the writing which feels like you have defined the main characters as individuals and which helps me to feel an interest in their story. At some point you could do with a proof reader checking out things but on the whole it's ok with just the odd sentence needing to be correcting. The renders are nice and I like the attention to detail you have put in like the porn videos on the laptop, I presume that was to provide the sexual content for people who want something from the start while giving you the time to build the relationship between the two main characters.
I like as well that the LI's are limited, if or when you put more in the game I hope you make them optional as in most cases I prefer to concentrate on one person at a time. That for me as the added benefit of seeing how things play out if I want to do a second playthrough.
On the whole a very good start and thanks for posting.

Yes, it was pretty tricky to solve the sex scenes without the protagonist being a fuckboy.

Just started the game up and want to say that giving an option to mute the music before it starts is GOD TIER thinking. Thank you for not rupturing my eardrums.

Thanks.
This isn't my "so original" idea btw. I found this option somewhere else, but I liked it for the same reason.For everyone!
I just released a short game on itch.io, so I will continue this project as soon as possible.
I needed a little change, some time to collect my toughts about the story, learn some new renpy codes and daz options, but now this will be my top priority!

Hi.
There are several changes in the game. The next update coming soon (about a week or two) for everyone.- completely new textbox and choice boxes
- I remade a lot of animations, renders
- changed every sound file formats
- gallery/replay functions added
- some script changes
This is just for the "current" version. The story progress will be added in the next (after this one) update. I feel like this will be a solid base what the game deserves. I know I'm a little bit slow, but only due to the situation in Europe and in my country. (need to work more in my job)
But don't worry, I work as much as I can. I like it, so I'll do it.
If anyone interested in more content, there are about 3 update status reports on Patreon every month + other stuffs (comparisons, gift backgrounds, etc.)
Have a nice day!

This is just so rude. Not only do you not give the player a choice but you also mock them about it: ''Look! You don't get a choice! Eat shit!''
You have to understand that when you offer choices in the first place, what kind of sexual content the player gets is THE most important and meaningful choice, if such choice is not offered there is no point in giving ANY choice what so ever ( which ironically you didn't in this particular scene, but you offered the player other choices which only worsen the situation ), and I would have ZERO problems with any of this, if I was not offered any choice and it was just a read-through.
There is also a romance tag in the game - romance doesn't go well with a protagonist that lets anyone and everyone suck his dick in any situation. When scenes like this happen the game can't be viewed as anything more than a fap simulator, story goes out the window.

Thanks for this. Was thinking of trying this out, till I saw your comment about this stuff being forced. Can't stand when games force sex on the player without choice. Guess this won't be for me.
Thanks for looking out.
