Since a lot of people seem to take issue with scenes that don't include the main character(Clark), would it help if I add the ability to avoid those scenes throughout the game?

What are peoples opinion of solo scenes(say a female masturbation scene)?

The truth is, if it were possible to disable that content at the beginning of the game and prevent it from happening at all, that would be great.

I don't mind a girl masturbating. It's not the most exciting scene, but I don't dislike it. On the contrary, I don't like lesbian scenes.

1. Depends if skippable or avoidable. If it just skips that's worthless. It shouldn't happen in the narrative or be even mentioned.
2. That's fine.

Since I try to add Non-MC scenes with substance, I would create a path with dialogue instead to establish the story beats without that content. When you choose to avoid it, the narrative branches so those scenes don't happen, they're not just hidden, they would be replaced with alternative scenes that maintain story flow and character development. So it's truly avoidable, not just skippable.

I don't mind a girl masturbating. It's not the most exciting scene, but I don't dislike it. On the contrary, I don't like lesbian scenes.

Thank you for your input! I'm not a big fan of lesbian scenes either

2. That's fine.

Thank you for your input!

As I'm a huge fan of the show, I kind of have to try this game...
Before I jump in, and share my thoughts after, I'll add my cent (I'm poor) to some of the earlier talks;
The best thing if you can, is to make every scene not involving the MC avoidable.
If it's future love interests, it's already NTR-territory for people that hate cuck shit, and would cause heads to blow up and you'd get flak.
If it's not future LIs, it's just weird for many people, but could still be off-putting, I reckon.
The biggest WTF seems to be Martha scenes, as you haven't completely ruled out... ugh... step-cest, so that could be part of the NTR-issue. She's not a LI now, but I mean, good ol' Jonathan doesn't live forever, and she'll need a dick to cry on, so even if that's the path, and she's not a LI until then, it'll still be weird. Not all women have to be virgins until touched by the MC, but if they're whores, I'd keep it on the down low, to avoid aforementioned heads blowing up, and causing you headaches

For now, I'll download, play, and give some takes after I'm done!

The plan is to make every scene not involving Clark avoidable, the first implementation of this will be in the next update. If people still find the dialogue to be too descriptive, I'll revisit those scenes and look for ways to make the dialogue less explicit, or possibly write around those scenes(if they're trivial) based on the feedback I receive. People on here are very vocal about their preferences, and I want to make sure the game remains enjoyable for as many players as possible, so if I can provide toggles for content that some find off-putting, I’ll certainly do so.

If it's not future LIs, it's just weird for many people, but could still be off-putting, I reckon.

For the foreseeable future, I don't intend to have Martha be an LI for Clark. If something were to change, that is still ways away to even think about for me.
Whoring out characters is something I don't like. I plan on writing characters that have personality and to make them likeable, making a female character a nympho for example would undermine their personal growth and make their interactions feel hollow rather than earned. I want the scenes to feel impactful because of who the characters are, not just because of what they are doing. Will I always get it right? No, but I'll do my best.

For now, I'll download, play, and give some takes after I'm done!

Looking forward to it!

At some point. Can't tell you exactly when as even I'm not entirely sure.

Is this implemented?

No sorry, not with this update. But the next update will have it.

Hey everyone, I don't usually leave comments, but this was my favorite show as a kid. I apologize for my poor English; I'm using a translator. This game has huge potential, as the Smallville universe is full of hot girls and racy situations. However, after reading the comments, I see that the game's creator is heavily tailored to the audience. I'd recommend pursuing your own vision, as people are very diverse, and so are their fetishes. Some love NTR, others hate it, others want harems, and still others want incest. It would be a huge disappointment if the game is too vanilla and lacks lust and debauchery, as the Smallville universe is full of racy situations. Remember when Lana turned into a witch and she, Chloe, and Lois tied up Clark in the barn? Now add red kryptonite and imagine what could have happened in this visual novel? Remember how Pete and Chloe got a parasite and lost their fear, and then used red kryptonite against Clark? Imagine what a cool scene would have turned out between those three? This game also features the cunning villain Lex with his own plans and goals. It would be boring if he wasn't realized in the game, because he's so cunning.))) Of course, NTR whiners will cry, and the author has already said there won't be any NTR, but remember the TV series: Lana fucked Lex, she fucked Bisaro, she dated that guy Jason. As for me, Lana is a real slut.))) In any case, they could have made a variety of choices so that each player could choose the path they like, because, as I said, the game has enormous potential, both in debauchery and in the plot, as well as in colorful characters and piquant situations. In short, the author chose the right series))) But it would be a huge disappointment if it were a completely vanilla experience, where Clark meets Lana, fucks her, maybe even fucks Chloe, and that's it. Therefore, I advise the author to create games according to their own vision, because it's your game, your vision, and not listen to NTR whiners and other whiners. Players can have different choices without discriminating against anyone. Still, the potential of a game with such cool, colorful characters, beautiful girls, piquant situations, kryptonite, magic, and superpowers is simply enormous. I wish the author the full potential of this series, and I wish you success.

I see it's still early. Is this worth checking out or should I wait?

Thank you for your very rational take! Trust me when I say this: I will follow my vision, this is a passion project for me, and I will only add what I feel comfortable with. What others think about the game content only matters to an extent. No one can convince me to add content that I don't want in the game, but if I can help others avoid content they aren't comfortable with, then I can certainly do so. NTR is a sore point for a lot of people, and some have a very skewed and broad meaning of the word. I take the word at face value, and by its definition, I don't like it.

The potential IS huge. My primary focus as I've stated before is to follow the main plot points from the show and do it on my terms. And with that comes potential for new stories, and events. Clark for example won't stay a virgin for as long as he did in the show, that I can promise.
I love writing impactful characters and stories, this game gives me a creative outlet to do so. I love romance, awkwardness, and those classic 'Smallville' character dynamics. I fully intend to explore the more uninhibited sides of these characters. Things like Red Kryptonite or supernatural influences provide the perfect opportunity to dive into the 'debauchery' you mentioned without losing the heart of the story. Ultimately for me, story matters the most(quality over quantity).

I see it's still early. Is this worth checking out or should I wait?

Hard to say, there's a bit over 2hrs worth of story content(word count), and 8 scenes total. I'd recommend waiting as there's an art style rework coming...

 

[YogSothoth1982]

No sorry, not with this update. But the next update will have it.

I guess I'll try the game the next update.

Alright, as 'promised'. Just finished with the game!
I was thinking how to structure this, as I have ADHD and tend to ramble, even when writing, so I'll try to split it up a bit.
For anyone; before you read and bitch, I hate NTR. Loathe entirely. Cuckshit is cuckshit, so that's my stance and feelings. Nothing you can say will change that. Nothing "soft" or "hard", for me, NTR is NTR (by definition, or the grey zone one(s)).

Story: Good. It kind of follows Smallville (for better or worse), not much more to say. If you like Smallville, and you like spicy, this should be up your alley.
Art: It's AI, so can't praise it too much, but even with AI you need to make sure, and the art so far has been solid (saw that there's

so resting this here. It reminds me of the older DC cartoons, though, which is noice.
Chapters(?): The only change I would make here is to split chapters into episodes (like a TV-show huehuehue), since it's based off of one. It has the bones for it anyway, and this would be a nice nod!

So there are issues with the scenes, I'll just put a spoiler over all of it, so if you click it, don't bitch.

As much as I wanted to enjoy this, I think I kind of misunderstood the game, and that's on me. I thought it was going to be a more Clark-heavy harem, but it's way far off.
I don't want to pressure the dev into changing his visions to accommodate me, or people like me, but if the rest of the game is going to follow the first parts, I don't think I'd be along for the ride, sadly.
For anyone who likes the game, and the direction, I do believe you'd be in competent hands, so to say, and you'll get a ton of enjoyment out of it.

 

[aris666]

I thought I finally found superman game, but no...


Edit.
Ok, I read that it will possible to avoid NTR scenes from next update, so I hope that I did find Superman game finally.

 

[odbpm]

any sexual scenes with other males = a game for cuckolds, so ill just ignore this one does not matter if they going to be avoidable, still ruins them as Li's.
another point everyone seems to have the same dick size kinda ruins the vibe of being superman if his dick is just the same size as humans, but then again showing other males dicks is just another thing that makes this a cuckold game
also know its a parody, but why not give the players the ability to change mc name so they can immerse themself as superman.
