Whilst you are completely correct, a sentence should never begin with "and", one should also never follow a comma.

Pretty sure "and" after a comma is just fine, and in some cases downright necessary. Otherwise it would be rather hard to list anything- "cats, dogs, naked mole rats are all mammals" is a much worse sentence than "cats, dogs, and naked mole rats are all mammals".

And I don't think the rule against starting sentences with "and" holds much water either. Per Merriam-Webster, it's been used that way from the 9th century down through Elements of Style. I don't think there's a style guide in the world that can overturn that history.

Do you mean what features we would like? What features have you got planned? Why did you choose the Ancient Roman setting and what will you do with it?

I'd personally like to see choices which matter and/or a blank slate female character instead of someone who's got a significant other. Other than those: impregnation, groupsex and skills.

I'm somewhat worried since you alread have a patreon, but no gameplay that stands out, nor any appealing art. You really need something to hook people on your game.

Yeah, as everyone else said, the art is really bad. You can probably change it later tho.
Good luck. Ancient rome is a really fun setting and there is almost no games in this period.

To shine light on a valid counter argument to your second point... Creator's bite is quite a prevalent issue among the creative communities. If you're not familiar with the term, it refers to a state of mind where your creation becomes something that no longer acts as an entertainment medium when you interact with it. You also remove any element of surprise, suspense or simply the joy of not knowing what lies ahead by creating something yourself.

Just my thoughts on the matter...

Ahhh, this is so true... I've created my game to be the kind of game I'd like to play but after working for so long on it, I can't get to enjoy it because I already now how it plays, its highlights and its flaws. Maybe when I'm old and get alzheimer's, forgetting about it, then I'll play it like it is the first time in my life and would enjoy it :D

Planned features are : gladiatorial matches. Where you are the investor, you are not directly interfering with combat. How ever there'll be some lewd actions to alter the course. Maybe flirt with the referee to let your losing gladiator stay alive.
There'll be management of gladiators and slaves. Different events may reduce/increase their obedience and their happiness. which may lead to revolts.
Wanted to implement a randomized past system that is generated for every glad/slave. And if you try and get to know them better their stats increase. This is not set in stone probably wont happen for some time.

There'll be no significant other, i'd like people to choose that for themselves if that's what they want. as for fetishes. i'm not really a big fan of impregnation, but if the demand is high we can try that. Group sex is what defines Rome lol. There'll be prostitution, lesbian, anal, maybe some cuckoldery depending on your choices. Want to create a femdom/sub path later on.

The art reminds me of how "Soo Cubus" from the developer Sexums started, eventually that game improved and it ended being one of the best "self-made" styles for me. Many people will criticize you, instead of avoiding the game when they don't like something, some prefer to punch you to discourage you. Don't let it happen ! :D Good luck with it

I've said it before and I'll say it again; Learn to do art BEFORE you start making a game and ask people for money
Have a quick look around on here and on Patreon, look at your competition and ask yourself, should people choose to support me over those others?

Can I suggested minor changes to body design?

A little less pointy faces.
More meat on bones.
Shorter necks.

I made a couple of these changes and the difference is quite noticeable.
