Surprisingly, I didn't enjoy this at all. Could really use some girls with bigger tits/ass

I emphatically agree with half your statement and vehemently disagree with the other half, weird.

Not really. I'm a fan of big boobs as well, but the dev isn't, it's no big deal.
There's plenty of games with huge boobs, just play something else.
Basically this.
I prefer big boobs, and I wish some girls in this game would have bigger boobs. But it is up to the Dev and if someone does not like the models, there are plenty of other games.
(I like the models)

Kinks like that have often times something to do with exactly the themes you've been successfully writing about. Humiliation. Imo they could fit into the game. It can either be some girl that is (secretly) into some NASTY shit. Which would be the more unlikely scenario and feel more tagged on because it would look like you WANTED those kinks in the game (which you clearly stated is not the case).
The other way around and considering the drug you mentioned in the last scene in the current patch would fit more. You have some kind of slave girl the MC really hates (There are several options) and/or the girl has fucked up MAJORLY. We are talking intentionally injured someone else kind of level.
In that scenario having the MC to decide to really make the girl fear the basement seems a logical option. Especially its been hinted for several girls, they like the pain. You can't really dominate someone if they get off the pain (though the collars would help) by inflicting pain because it becomes more a reward. Humiliation in this instance is more effective.
And adding some unwanted Watersports into the scene for example seems fitting imo.
As you mentioned. The tool of external Situation makes the MC be able to act almost schizophrenic. And the more experience he gets in both roles the more believable even quite extreme actions become. Extreme in both ways. Both Punishing and having a romance with a girl.
Also practical aspect: More tags means dodging more filters on https://f95zone.to/sam/latest_alpha/ ;P
The game with the mile long tag list and good ratings goes up to the top (eventually).
___________________________________________
Completely different topic/idea. Don't want to make an extra reply for this.
I think a fitting scene for the game would be for the MC to have discussion with one of the girls (so they tell the others) about the one power (and pretty much only power) a sub has. The power of consent.
It should also a good way to teach the reader about this.
The important thing the girl/reader has to learn is the fact that the girl actually chooses to be subjugated to the treatment of the MC in the basement.
Because the girl always has a choice even if it may seem to the layman she doesn't. The MC should explain to her that she can leave the room at any point she wants to. But she will have to live with consequences. Meaning likely being expelled.
This may seem like extortion. But in contrast to actual torture the girl always has a choice to leave. That is the consent.
A safe word like "salzburry steak" can not just be used to make the dom simply stop but also the stop the entire treatment/situation. Any command for the sub is a constant evaluation between following the order or living with the consequences of not doing so.
The MC therefore should also explain the he will always tell the girl beforehand what he will do next. Not necessarily in detail (how often) but enough to give her the choice.
If at any point the MC for example orders a girl to sign a new contract that allows the MC to imprison the girl and/or using torture methods on her the girl has the option to refuse (and be consequently be expelled).
It doesn't have to seem fair. That is part of the deal. But the lesson boils down to: "You can always just.... leave". If she chooses not to, she gives consent by not saying the safeword.
Note: In other situation a safe word is used to make the dom stop what they are doing. This shouldn't exist in the game. The safe word here would be to stop, leave the room and expect to be expelled.

What part of 'The dev doesn't want those things to be in the game' did you not understand.

Perhaps you missed that he specifically said:
You're trying to explain to him how to put in things he actively does not like. That, if he were to listen to you (which, luckily, he will not), is the surest and quickest way to developer/writer/artist burnout.
You have your tastes, and that's fine (no kink-shaming from me here), but the dev has stated flat-out which ones he does not like. Please stop suggesting ways for him to add them.
Generally speaking, tag-farm games are soulless and shitty, and no one remembers them after they're done and gone. Stormside at least deserves better than that, and I trust Atem to take it there without tag-farming.
___________________________________________
Atem is making a porn game with a fun story. He's already flat-out acknowledged that a LOT of the shit in this game would be completely and ridiculously unethical in a real BDSM relationship. Mixing that in with a frank discussion about consent would just muddy the waters further as to what's acceptable in a real-world BDSM relationship and what isn't. Let this game just stay a fantasy with unrealistic relationships.
There is no safe word and muh power of consent here. The bitches don't get any say on their punishment and they need to learn to do only one thing i.e. to obey. Play only the romantic route and don't make this game boring.

On Ren'Py, in Actions, the second button is "Check Script (Lint)". It'll keep track of number of dialogue blocks, words, characters, menus, images and screens. It'll also report a lot things which usually are too minor to be noted in testing, like unreachable statements, mess in text tags, screens without parameter lists, and missing images/sounds.
(The only other almost-universally-useful button in left side of Actions is "Navigate Script", which allows you to find where something was defined as well as keeping track of all TODOs you might leave on the code as well as where you left them).
For the record, the compressed v0.22.06 version gives the following Lint summary:
(Besides around 750 warnings about orphan translations, inaccessible images, etc. which I'm too lazy to post and might be related to the compression so not worth it.)Ren'Py Linter said:
Note: Lint will count the approx. 20~25 screens from base Ren'Py, and may also count some images used for e.g. screens. Whenever possible, Lint will also let you know how many blocks of dialogue each character has, but in some cases it might be unable to (You might need Ren'Py 8+ for this feature). Anyway, point being, there's no need to "track" these statistics yourself, Ren'Py can do that for you and all you need to do is click a button.
For the record, the average reader speed is between 200 and 300 words per minute. This means that according to Ren'Py Lint, to play through all routes skipping already read dialogue/transitions/minigames, this is currently a 16-24 hours VN. Lint unfortunately cannot split the routes for you ─ if this game could be fully seen in three playthroughs, time would fall to 6~8 hours per playthrough (permanently skipping already read text). The more routes you make, the more effort for the smaller visible result.
From the internet: "The average adult reading speed is 238 WPM (words per minute) for non-fiction and 260 WPM for fiction".

I have no idea what you are asking about. What skill? What Just girls? Wtf are you talking about?
One of the sex scenes is called "Just girls having fun." so I'd assume he just wants to know how to unlock that one.
With that in mind, haletuan123 all you gotta do is either give Cassie permission to do her lesbian thing with Riley, and then select "Cassie makes a move" when she and Riley are talking in the dorms on day 4.
Alternatively, if Cassie doesn't ask your permission (Which she'll only do if you're fwb at this point), just select "Cassie makes a move." This will result in exactly what it sounds like. If you're playing with no spice mode then that would explain why this scene is eluding you. It's a lesbian one.

First This game is amazing and I love it. just finished my playthrough and I’m Excited for future updates. I’m hoping for more content for Paige and Ashley since their my favorite second years, their so dumb it’s hilarious.
Also when I was playing I never got the Hikari Happy Massage scene so I don’t really know which route she’s heading towards to or if I’m locked out of all of them. I chose take it easy and tie her to the pole. I was super nice on the shopping date and made an interesting bet/offer with Akemi that pushed her towards the submission route. Will I be able to start Hikari Routes later.

I also think Olivia's goal is to piss us off so that at least one of the LIs goes the slave route. But, in my case with her my options are: no route or romantic route. With many more possibilities the first one.
The truth is that the other two routes don't interest me at all. So my game is: romantic route with all the LIs except Olivia, with whom if possible I will not establish any type of sexual/romantic relationship.

I think putting Akami on the submision route is what has kept you from getting the Hikari Happy Massage.
You should be fine. The Hikari massage scene and Akemi's bet thing are mutually exclusive scenes because they take up the same time slot, and the Akemi scenes take priority when you meet the criteria for both. Which scene you get does not actually affect which route you end on with the girl unless you get one of the scenes that specifically starts or locks a route. You will be able to get Akemi onto her sub route even if you didn't do the bet scene, and you'll be able to get Hikari onto her romance route even if you didn't get the massage scene. These scenes just form some of the first opportunities to begin or push towards those routes.
I don't intend for there ever to be just one way to get on a specific route for a girl, though there may sometimes be specific actions that lock certain routes. Like refusing to go to the party with Riley, or go ghost hunting with Sasha. Both of these will lock their romance routes, and by extension their sub routes. It's done this way because I think that willingness to participate in a girl's story / help them with things that are important to them should be required for anyone looking to form some sort of affectionate relationship with that girl. That's why these choices leave the slave route open either way, because those routes certainly aren't an affectionate relationship.
To make things easier, I'll likely be adding some more icons to the profile screen to let you know if you've locked yourself out of a route.
