Others - Small Complex [v4.0c] [DonTaco]

Review Small Complex v3.1

Great update, solid 4 out of 5 for me

First let me say, that this Dev, is one of the few people, on this site, that resonate so friking well with me.
The artstyle, the story, and the objective itself of all of his games (the breeding of all those scrumptious beautiful bimbossss) are very close to my heart.
So my review is a bit biased, that's why I'm giving it a 5 stars on the website but I substract one and give it a solid 4/5 stars as a semi-objective analysis on paper.

That being said, this entry is a lot much polished that the last one, it can be seen in many of the interactions with the Town itself. Aside from the unfinished zones, in my case, I didn't encounter any problems. Luckily, it was a smooth playthrough.

It was a pleasent surprise to have a few more interactions with the main Milf of this update. If I'm being honest, I wasn't excpecting that much. Also, the models and the animations look more clean, and were great. If I had to nickpick, I would have to say that I missed my beatiful x-ray vision, I really hope it makes a comeback in the next update.

I had my little fun with the gameplay. Making some of the items felt nice and earnned. The leveling system, although maybe simple, it was on point, nothing out of this world, nothing that was annoying or frustrating, atleast for me.
I think that making each girl like a different item is a good choice. I also have to mention and highlight the classic little monetary easter egg in a classic certain place, it made me smile haha.

So yessss, me likey .

Pretty good update all around, I just hope the next one is not too far on the horizon, and I cross my fingers and wish that the mass production of babies is getting close!!!!

Great potential , even with lag but I hope the developer Focuses on this game or one of his other projects rather then ping-pong-ing between them , designs are great , farming system got fleshed out pretty good , 5 out 10 .

I normally don't leave reviews, but given this has bad reviews for stupid reasons I will.

The game is very much in development, so it should be played with such a point in mind. (O and it is a game, if you looking for a VN fap experience... go elsewhere)

Currently very barebones but with lots of promise, and a decent amount of sex content (with mainly the aunt right now) despite that.

It is buggy, but the dev works to fix the bugs.

I don't recommend if your PC is a dinosaur though, since currently it is not optimized (even my comp sometimes had issues).

But with all that in mind, it's a in progress game. So those shouldn't impact the review.

There's a bit of grind, and you need to be a bit intuitive.

I encountered a bug in 3.1 where it said "not enough trust" but it was actually not enough Lust. Which I decided to level instead of trust for a while.

The game mechanics are quite rough around the edges but there's a lot of promise so I look forward to what they will be.

Treat this as a tech demo with some sex scenes, and is open to change. (it already is two games combined together now)

I had an enjoyable few hours playing. overall 4/5. (I suspect 5/5 when it comes together are a more polished product)

Playing this game was mentally painful im not even joking i don't understand what the dev was smoking when he decided on a lot of these design choices first off this version is the first that's actually playable last update by the reviewing rules i couldn't actually review this game because of the graphical incompatibility that made this game literally unplayable and in this version it seems like its fixed and oh god i honestly wish it wasn't.

First off in game where many scenes are time sensitive with an actual day night cycle actions aren't tied to your character that clock will be running down like your on a goddamn speedrun and it gets even worse prepare to play 3d unoptimised stardew valley you won't be able to fap to this game but you will be able to cook an egg on your computer before even seeing one scene.

And let's say you can ignore all this and just go fuck it and download a save that has all the grinding skipped well guess what son this game says its a 3.0 but it's actually a remake so you cant even see those scenes that the last version was too broken to play.

Don't waste your time hopefully some good Samaritan will upload the scenes somewhere.

**I would give this game a 4.5 star**
I think its great. I can see that the dev defenitly took a huge step for this game. You did a great job

Good points

• Visual is very appealing
• Animation is great
• The scene are fluid
• The universe is very inviting, I would like to explore more
• Jiggle
• When you touch the ass, you see the skin getting pulled from the fingers, great feature!

Things I think that could go better

• Map, could be cool to have a map on each sections, I was a bit loss the first few minutes. But you get the gist of it pretty fast.
• Grinding, I like grinding for trust and such, but after 200 trust point, it was getting really repetitive. (Wish we could have more task other than the trash bag).
• Some very MINOR fps drop here and there, but not enough to sabotage the gameplay. Don't know if its worth saying.

Ideas ( What I think could be cool to add )

• Choices, lot of choices during X scene, but overall linear. Would've been great to have the power to either let the Aunt "Tease" you or you would take the initiative yourself. For exemple, in the bathroom in the morning, you HAVE to let her tease you for something to happen, even if she want it. [ I am not talking about rape, but taking the initiative ] Would be cool to just add a " hey fuck it, im doing it, she want it "
• Position, exemple : In the bathroom, when she ask if she gained weight, you approach from behind. Could be cool if you can choose to come from the front, and grope her ass. wich would do a different kind of Scene. And with this, come Kissing / sucking tits, and grinding/ poking the anus (idk).
• Family tree. I would like to know who are the Aunt, if I understand it clearly, you have multiple aunt?

_____________________________
Overall :

[ This is on my point of view, dev, I you read this, don't take any of this personnaly].
I think its a nice project, hope you like it as much as we do.
Can't wait to see more scene with the rest of the fam!

Thank you for doing it!

I'm a fan of Don Taco's models and kinks.Thats the only reason I'm rating it this high. However, they really need help in the Game dev department

The game has lot of bugs (especially the game breaking one where the aunt stops following you)
The progression is terrible. Thanks to the guide in the comments, I realized the best path forward.
There are also no content for the teacher & nun which look great

This game is obviously for a specific kink but I really do like this game. The only problem is just as usual is the lack of content and bugs. I really do see absolute potential in this game so as soon as the game gets more updates I will definitely give it a five star.

I wanted to vote average for at least trying something different and giving camera control, but this needs LOTS of fixing to at least consider it.

-Talking about the camera, you do have the option to position it around. But the controls are clunky, you can't zoom in, and sometimes ends up in a weird position on its own.
-Graphics-wise, it is ok but outdated, but oh god does it consume GPU. I considered stopping the game since it looked like it was mining crypto no way this should be using 16gb of vram.
-Grinding is a lot in the beginning but accelerates later (although I may have used some bug/exploit, leading aunt to scenes not unlocked and receiving arousal points).
-Economy-wise, the arousal system was a bit weird but not the worst. Endurable. But definitely would suggest reviewing it later.
-Animations are HS like exaggerated. But overall fine.
-You can make your aunt follow you and do stuff around, which is a major good point to me. (not the following, but the choosing repeatable scenes)

The bugs though... still too many.
The invisible thing is probably some bad code when you watch TV but do not fuck. I suggest just skipping it until you unlock the porn movie. The 2 arousal points it gives before ain't worth it.

The restaurant lady and the vendor one could become "LI" later, I'd guess. That would be cool.

The guy that was supposed to do stuff, run a store at night... was never seen again
Anyway, needs a lot of work, but good concept and foundation.
Fixing the code, adding a better translation, and optimizing your resource consumption (at least stop using 100% of a gpu lol).
But it does have potential

It being described as basically a demo is in the description.
Either way, it's an alright play. There's actual active animations and you can turn the camera 360 degrees. But, it's impossible to zoom in. Takes a minute to get the scenes through conventional grinding. An alright game. Not bad. Not good. Just so-so.

UPDATED REVIEW

Small Complex 3.0

I downloaded it again after not having played it in almost two years. I wanted to see what has changed. I didn't lag. So that's good. But I found the game to be annoying to the point where I did not want to play it. Just endless screens of dialog with no way to fast skip through it and no way to rewind. Just click click click a billion times. Way too many loading screens. The loading screens are black too. I always felt that black loading screens were not a good design choice. When I am in the 3D portion of the game, the mouse sensitivity is like a billion. It is easy to get lost because moving your mouse will cause you to spin around a billion miles per second. There is also no compass to tell you where to go. You just have to wander around and hope you find the right direction. Graphics are nothing to get excited about. Just cartoony, low quality detail. If you can bear these annoyances, you could give the game a try. Oh, no way to change mouse sensitivity in the Settings. You are stuck with it. Going to uninstall now. But before I do, I'll generously bump it from 1 star to 2 star to be nice.

PREVIOUS REVIEW

The game was unplayable for me. At startup, I tried resizing the window to my desired size. This broke the UI where my mouse pointer and the actual mouse location in the game window were not matched up right. So I restarted the game a few more times, trying to play the game at its default window size. Unfortunately, anytime that the game was in windowed mode (Alt + Enter) it was off screen. If it was in what I think was fullscreen, it still showed the title bar. So it didn't feel like fullscreen. The game was so unbearably laggy that just pressing a button like Enter or Esc or an arrow key to navigate the menu was difficult. And even if fullscreen, the mouse pointer did not match up with the menu right. I have a GTX 1650, so I am bewildered on why it was so laggy. I had used the "other engine" top menu to disable some stuff like bloom and vignette and a few others, but that didn't improve the lagy any. The controls were not intuitive. I tried caming around and I just couldn't do it. Too laggy. Graphics are bad. I don't know why I downloaded this game. In the game, the 3d models look bad. In game preview pictures, they look bad. I must have been in a hurry and just downloaded it without giving it a good preview look. If you have a newest generation GPU and CPU, maybe you can play this game. But I couldn't. And even if my laptop could handle it, I don't think I would enjoy it.

Not really sure what the author was trying to accomplish, if it was an adult game I'm just not seeing it.
If it was fap material it missed by a million miles.
If he intended to show how not to make game mechanics then bravo.
There seems to be more bugs than working functions but I can't be sure because it appears there is a guide but it is also broken

I prefer the big long complex to be honest.
Cons:
I like seeing 3D renders rather than animations that I can't really zoom
Cumshots are not visible , he just "cums" by stopping the animation
Lots of bugs , many times after sleep he wakes up and it forwards into a scene
You don't know your own stats
What does the phone even do?
Milf is quite... weird. Big jugs but terrible looking when naked

Pros:
Nice concept but lacking

After version 0.2 I reduced this to 1*

well im gonna be the first negative review here.

its my talent to break games, but this one i didnt even try.
3 times i literally fell through the floor for no reason and was softlocked.
TWICE i saved directly after an event which again softlocked me (loading the same, the event re-started itself and then was stuck)
your aunty tends to go places without saying anything, often you wont find her.
she also likes to randomly start events. 3 times IN A ROW when i skipped time, i entered her room automatically as an event started which advanced the time. the same event 3 times btw.

the camera is a nightmare, constantly stuck in/behind walls.
animations are mediocre

and honestly the gameplay is boring. all you do is talk to her for +1 affection. then wait. then talk to her. then wait. do this 3min and youve seen pretty much all of the event scenes.

idk its just... meh right now.

The game shows a lot of promise. It can a bit buggy and the camera is a bit clunky at times; though nothing I found that breaks the game. It is only v1.0.0 so I can't complain too much. Being patient and hoping for a system in the game that you can check progression, the ability for camera zoom, and body physics. Again the game shows promise so cheers to the dev, and hopes the project's future.

It’s a fun game to play just some small bug problem about the guild that you can’t click, if you click it the game crash but still playable and fun to play just wish that there’s mote update coming soon and don’t drop it pls need update Thanks for your hard work

I don't know what system the author used to make this new game, but the overall operation is much better than UNITY .
Having said that, I hope I want you don't kill another UNITY game that you built .
The author's idea is really in line with my interests, excellent character models, no heavy sex, lots of pregnancy .
Any way you look at it, you should never give up on a game you just started. F95zone has a lot of blacklisted authors who have abandoned their work in various ways .
Can you adjust these two games to RenPy system , to be honest, unity is a lot harder to play than RenPy .
