A few short questions:
- Is this really update 22 already? (Remember seeing the game being v0.3 not too long ago, but maybe my sense of time is screwed lol.)
- Since there are seemingly 3 distinct paths, does this mean we only see 1/3rd of the game when playing 1 path or is there plenty of common content?
- Mostly interested in the slave path. Are there large differences in progress between the paths? Is the slave path developed already?
Game sounds almost too good to be true (regarding my interests), just trying to avoid heavy disappointment. Thanks a lot, and a good day to everyone. Love Honey Select btw.

Nah, it started on version 0.1, and then went to 0.11, then 0.12, at which point I jumped to 0.2 for reasons I can't quite remember. Since then it's been 0.21 and then 0.22. I'm basically using decimals. Thinking of 0.2 as 0.20 helps. We haven't had 0.3 yet.A few short questions:

It's actually 3 distinct paths per character, not overall. I have no idea how much of the overall content will be unlockable in a single playthrough in future versions, but right now it varies between about 1/3rd and about half. Some scenes are available on more than one path, and some scenes don't require a specific route, but are instead tied to a specific choice. It's only actually possible to officially start a route with 4 of the girls at the moment, but most people won't end up with all 4 due to what some of those routes are. I think just under half of the current sex scenes aren't tied to a specific route for the involved characters.
All routes get made at the same time because I don't really have another way of doing it. The slave routes themselves are the last to get started for story reasons. You're not gonna be punishing a girl within 10 minutes of starting basically. Currently when it comes to slave specific content, I think it's just Riley who has scenes at the moment. I'd say if you're just interested in the slave content then it may be worth checking in on the game at a later date. The overall plan is to have all the routes reasonably balanced for content, but the slave routes probably won't start to catch up until a bit later in development. Currently there are only 18 sex scenes tagged with "punishment" but not all of them are slave route specific, and many of them are mutually exclusive.
Wow, 18 with punishment alone is a lot for v0.2. The main reason for being interested in the slave path is that its usually the only way to avoid the simping. If the MC is dominant, aloof and reasonable in his behaviour I'm also fine with other paths. Punishment is nice but not important for me. Mostly enjoy an extremely one-sided power dynamic.
Thanks a lot for the kind answer. Definitely interested. Hope I will get to play soon. Wish you very good things, Atemsiel.
The end of the intro:
"...or don't. It was a tough year after all. (Written in 2022.)"
"Update 2023. It did not get better. Good God."
Game made me laugh quite a few times. But in the end its not for me. Just taste-wise. I thinks its nicely made - even though my potato computer went full harakiri mode straight from the intro banner lol. It seems my computer is too old and I may be as well. Was hoping for a super authorative setting and MC from what I read beforehand - but it seems more friendly playful banter with girls more confident than the MC. At least from how far I got. Also am a bit tired of the men bashing in games (rileys dad is a wife beater or more, bad creep guy at the pool). Might be a bit allergic to everything whiteknighting by now. But the humor was good. The whole onion thing alone is hilarious already.
Thank you for the game - and a hopefully better year 2024 to all of us. <3

I'd suggest changing to semantic versioning but then again versions with VN's seem to be more of a suggestion than a rule since many won't know what they mean anyway. There are still people on this forum that think 0.5 means 50% complete.

Heh, that's fair. It's quite possible that the type of MC you're hoping for is what he ends up being on the slave routes, but at the start of the game he's generally a pretty decent guy, who's more than capable of being friendly to others without being a pushover, who potentially spirals into something far less wholesome (Depending on player choice) after being given actual power over the girls. I felt this approach was necessary in order for the romance and even sub routes to be possible, since I just don't think I could make it believable that any of the girls could actually fall in love with MC if he was an unmitigated dickhead right from the start.
I would disagree with the idea that the other men being portrayed as not particularly wholesome people is white knighting though. Characters like Professor Brown are there as minor antagonists, and him being a bit of a pervert (Implied) helps sell that. It's not meant to be some sort of commentary on how men treat women these days or something. Considering the way you can treat some of the girls, and some of the stuff you'll be able to do in future updates, that would be a very strange message for me to try to push.
All of that said, if you were getting lag just on the intro banner, then maybe it's for the best. The game is VERY animation heavy, and if you were getting lag there, then some parts of the actual game might legitimately set your computer on fire lol. (I have no idea why Ren'Py is so terrible at playing videos. That's all it's doing, playing .webm files)
Anyway, I wish you good luck on your quest for something that suits your tastes more appropriately.
The system is actually changing after this current update, as I'm having to break updates up into smaller versions, but I still want an overall minor version to generally be a full in game day or something. Turns out 1 update every 7 months isn't great for promo.
I'm keeping the overall decimal format though just because I like it, so it's not actually semantic versioning. Instead it's simply a case of "higher number = newer version". The idea that 1.10 is higher than 1.9 just doesn't sit right with me, since 1.9 is a higher number than 1.10. So with that said the next update will be 0.23.1, followed by 0.23.2 and so on until day 12 is complete, at which point I'll be starting again with 0.24.1. If I have to do bugfixes you'll end up with shit like 0.23.1.1, but if there are only 3 numbers, it means it's a content update.
I generally don't take it all that seriously. I just figure that basic counting is a more universally understood system than one which has like 10 rules that must be understood in order to do it properly. I usually just assume that anyone actually irked by it is a software dev, and it's just the same thing as a chef getting annoyed when they see someone brunoise an onion sub-optimally or something. The professional dice may be technically better, but most people won't really care too much.

As a software dev I can confirm this is true. I'm also annoyed by versions like 0.0.5.a which again make no sense
But as stated VN version numbers are all over the place so it doesn't tell anything anyway unless each dev spells out their personal versioning scheme.Don't worry. Me not enjoying a MC doesn't mean anything. Of the above 100 games I played there were about one and a half MCs that I enjoyed. lol
He doesn't have to be a dickhead at all, just very authorative and dominant. I don't even have a perfect example. Maybe the Sean Connery 007. Can even be wholesome, just has to be 0% submissive. I definitely live in the wrong era.
Regarding the portrayal of men - I only played till the first locker room BJ, so it doesn't mean much as well. Its just that you hear media 24/7 whining about men that I can't stop rolling my eyes if I see even a minor incident in a porn game. Its an allergy by now.^^
Overall I think your MC is way above most. He has genuine charm and is funny. It makes the conversations with the girls feel legit. You can see why they would like him. He's a bit of jestermaxxing sometimes from what I've seen but I think most people on here would enjoy him.
Its probably difficult to make a lovestory and slave route for the same game.
I agree on making smaller more frequent updates. From what I've seen its unfortunately the way to make people see the game, it seems.
Yes, my computer was in agony.
Godspeed =)

Atem plans to update more frequently moving forward. I think he posted about his new plan at some point in the last few pages.
Whats the name for the music/tune that plays for Olivas phone ringtone? It was the that rang during the middle of Professor Brown asking a question about fractions.
This onion was bugged once upon a time, so if you're playing an older version, it may not be possible to unlock. Otherwise, it's shortly after the class where Hikari gets caught talking to Logan.

Keep up the great work.

After playing the game i thought i might make a few little remarks on this exceptionally good game. Maybe the devs read it and consider it, or get the idea to do something even better but completely different after my ramblings.
I also wrote it in my review. Legs ! You have perfectly suitable models and for some reason even choose to cut them off in quite a few renders, where there might actually be no need to do it. Of course i can understand that others do not care much about legs, i guess it can be hard to design something you do not really care about. Maybe just try to choose angles for renders that do not cut them off and/or throw a few more heels in the mix of clothes ? Thats goes a long way already.
All in all a really tremendously good game and i will probably suffer a bit while waiting for a continuation of the story. Thanks for the fabulous work !
