"A Failure to Launch" is an abandoned futadom game but it's a really good start to a game. So play it, and you'll be done in a few hours. It's a fun time.

This is OK, just because the art style is up there with SP, but everything else fails by comparison.

Ohh, this is a difficult one to answer! The main story, along with most of its key moments, was finished before I started developing the game. It is a very long story, and we are barely out of the intro phase (Although there are already enough hints in the game that will tell you where the story will be heading short-term!). I think this might be an issue with the structure of the game, one that possibly boils down to a personal preference. Not every update contains a major advancement to the main story. For example, R3 did while R4 did not. Instead, updates like R4 serve two important purposes: 1) to fill the game with spicy side content and 2) to provide flavor side interactions. These are both fairly self-serving items, but they also enforce the grander idea of hopefully making the setting a rich, living & breathing experience. My goal is to fill each location with plenty of stuff to do and a lot of smut to boot so that you can go through it and pick what you would like to see. I was never a proponent of Chekhov's gun principle, and I am deliberately doing the opposite quite often. That said, I don't really write scenes because "I have to," but because I enjoy making them!

This is also one of many reasons why 99% of the sex scenes in the game are optional. To use your wording, you are not getting stuck in the washing machine because I wrote it that way, and there is no way to change that. You decide where you want to get stuck. And if you feel like that specific washing machine is dumb, you can simply ignore it and move on to content that is more to your liking.

Regarding the buildup, that is a challenging question because I don't really think there is some silver bullet solution that will make everyone happy. Some like more slow-burn games where it takes a while before you get to the smut. Others like a lot faster, direct approach. With the main girls, I generally try to find some sweet middle-of-the-road spot. It is inherently different with the side characters; if I am to keep the development time sensible, I obviously can't give the same amount of care/content to every little single thing in the game. Some cases actually won't inherently even allow it, in my opinion. For example, you mentioned the orcess; I don't think there is a way to conjure a more slow-burn approach to the gloryhole!

In the end, you wrote about the underused setting. My way of mitigating that is mentioned above. It is obviously the slower/more gradual way, but I think it will pay off in the end. How would you tackle this issue?

You have a good thing going, don't ruin it by listening to criticism.

I unironically agree. We are all retards here, including me, the ones paypigging in Patreon are even more retarded. Do not listen to anything we say. None of us have any clue of what we want. Just continue to listen to whichever subversive pornography demon is whispering things into your ear.

Some of you seem to refer to Grace as if you had any interaction with her at all. Cannot remember seeing her and didn't find anything in my save files, nor the extracted images.

Can someone help me out please?

Any idea where she's to be found as well?
(Sorry I should have asked immediately)

Disagree. I see no issue with people posting constructive criticism and pretty sure Void wants that too.
This place can be great for feedback, so long as we ignore/report the trolls, the bigots and other disgusting characters. :p

I generally try to read and respond to every bit of constructive (that is an important part here) criticism.
That said, I have a very clear idea about what I want the game to be and how I want to achieve it, and I won't be changing that unless absolutely necessary and/or provided with a clearly better solution/idea. I would even go as far as to say that the majority of the game mechanics, the entirety of the story, and the kinks are pretty much set in stone.

So, on the one hand, don't worry that I will be changing things because of a lack of planning or because someone wanted it. I decline various requests on a nearly daily basis, just like I already declined a fair bit of money to implement something that did not fit into that idea about the game. On the other hand, if people who are on a similar page as the game/that overarching idea come up with something that expands it, I will gladly talk it through and possibly implement it.

We are a bunch of degenerate brain rotted coomers and that's why he should listen to us. No one knows how to craft the perfect gooner's paradise better than a horde of porn addicted neckbeards. :WeSmart:

Semper fi brother!

Edit: You post made me look for "gooning" in urban dictionary. I read it while drinking orange juice, and as a result I now have orange juice in my nose from laughing.
