The young couple is graduated from school and are in their 20:ies.
No one is going to buy this when this "young couple" looks like couple of kids who have maybe just entered high school. Also, what school do you "just graduate" from in your 20'ish? College? You're not an idiot, don't treat your audience as such.

You can put "this is a 60-year-old" on a picture of a toddler, it's gonna have same effect. (or lack thereof)

Not all school systems work like USA, quite the opposite actually. In Europe for example most who graduate from T2 education is around 18-20. When you enter university or higher level you are usually +20.
Not everybody does T2 education, but I would say most do because it's free. And you probably don't get presents from your parents for completing mandatory school, especially not a vacation unless you are above 18.

Germany for example:

If YOU have the imagination that this is **, quite frankly you can go fk yourself. Disgusting.

THIS IS NOT INTENDED AS AND IS NOT **!

I never said anything about the US. Finishing T2 education in European countries usually coincides with 18 y.o. Even if, for the sake of the argument, you push it to 20 then that's still not "finishing school as 20-ish" because that strongly implies a few years more than 20. No one really finishes a school at that age other than graduating from university.

If you genuinely think your "younger couple" looks like 20-something people, frankly get your eyes checked rather than throw a hissy fit. Everything about them, from body/face proportions, relative sizes to actual apparent adults, their supposed background that simply doesn't check out, to even fashion choices like the girl's haircut and clothing, is painting those two as nowhere near adults. That a number of people made this observation about them specifically and not for other games which also use anime-style ai cg should tell you something about your design choices.

No it doesn't, in scandinavia for example you are more likely to be 19 or 20.
And yes you did:

Those are USA education levels only.

No, it implies they are around 20, ie 18-22. It was either that or set an exact age witch I didn't want to because of the reasons I gave above.
But lets go with your assumption, how the hell does that make it loli in the first place?!?

I'm not going to argue about what japanese/Illustrious artstyle/clothing style is with you, you are clearly only here to argue.

If your mind jumps to "these are children" it says more about YOU than anything else.

I'm done talking about this bs.

Just an information note.

I was at Uni in the UK when I was just 17. I left Secondary/High School when I was just 17. I went to a Scottish Uni and graduated with an MA in Modern Languages when I was just 20. There were several Norwegian/German/French and Dutch guys and chicks at the same Uni I went to who were the same age as me. The age of sexual consent in the UK is 16.

Do you even understand what is? Hint: these are educational institutions you'll find worldwide. In the context of discussion i was using the third-level education variant, which is also present in many countries of the world and definitely not just in the US.

"20ish" means around or approximately twenty. But not really less than that -- it's an informal way of saying someone is in their early twenties. If someone is described as being "20ish," it means they are likely between 20 and 24 years old.

But lets go with your assumption, how the hell does that make it loli in the first place?!?
It doesn't. Note, i'm saying they appear underage and more specifically, like teens who have just started high school, tops. In this context "just finished school" would mean "graduated from mid school", i.e. 14-15, with the game claiming standard CYA "but no, they're acshually 20+ adults".

I'm not going to argue about what japanese/Illustrious artstyle/clothing style is with you, you are clearly only here to argue.

Half of these pictures are literally tagged with "[high] school uniform". But yes, keep acting dumb that you don't understand how a person dressed like a secondary school student, with childish appearance cues and zero apparent traits of actual adult could make someone think that person is underage.

(also, i'm not really arguing with you here. I'm just telling it what it looks like to anyone with a pair of working eyes. You're the one who is arguing that "no, totally not and you're sick if you think that")

I appreciate the info.
In the UK you seem to start your education at a REALLY early age and you also have different kinds of schools right?

Maybe grammar school was your education? Cogito, ergo sum.

Bottom line is they are NOT CHILDREN and it pisses me the fk off people thinking I made this for that purpose. (Not you, I muted the people that does without providing more than "the clothes are child-like", no use arguing)

To me the images follow the anime style. But if the general consensus is the novel is pampering to low-lives that are into that stuff, I will GLADLY make changes to the images to remove that if constructive feedback on how to do that is presented (should I give the young dude a mustache, and make the girl fat with mega tits, would that help?!?), or even stop development of this story completely and beg mods to remove the links I do not control, because I DO NOT WANT TO BE ASSOCIATED WITH THAT!
I have ideas for other stories that I could start development of instead.

It made me seriously sick to my stomach to read people implying that I am intentionally making the novel for that purpose.
:eek:

Interesting. I think it could be better with some choices, and I think the choices basically would be either as is now, or either the husband dominates both women, or both women dominate the boyfriend. As it is, it's like 3 paths are already in it. So figuring out how to branch that out and flesh out the content a bit on each side could result in something that really appeals to each, although of course there's that risk of content slowing down and I guess complaints. But the content is kind of already in there though.

Short stories might be the best way to make that work. The framework of it possibly going 3 different ways, with tweaks in each setup/scenario, each being rather self contained, so it doesn't branch out too much which always causes burnout.

Anyway good luck. I won't really say much about the ages except the boyfriend and girlfriend scenes did look too young. I'd run that through the AI again. I do like the choice with the heights, the boyfriend should be the shortest as he is, his girlfriend taller than him, and the husband and wife much taller. And I'd look at the younger couple as college aged (18-20), while the married couple are older, probably in their early-30s, maybe late-20s.

As the username says, it's not real. So the various concepts otherwise don't bother me, and I'm anticipating it getting escalated. Have to admit though, one of the reasons I mention 3 paths is I don't enjoy watching women get abused, so the husband essentially raping the girlfriend isn't my interest. I'd suspect others have the same attitude to the wife and the boyfriend. Hence different paths gets to sidestep that.
