The hostilities... or the world?
Just got the new Taron scene. They make it closer to an Illusion game, but much higher poly and better textures and lights (now to talk about the 'focus' going out when you zoom). You don't have 'full' camera control, but it goes a long way to address the complaints that this is just a clip viewer behind a flash game front. Need to make all the 'prime' scenes into this format, preferably. Also, I'm not sure if I found all the interactions, but there should be some sort of feedback, even if it is just a slight modulation to her moans when you find a spot. I was disappointed at first, but I found that her position changed when you grabbed her tail, and that kind of interaction opens up a lot of possibilities.
I do like a lot of the fetishes they have added into the game, as a number of them are right up my alley (large cock bestiality, futanari, cumflation, consentacles, etc). The ones that are misses for me (like feet) are still there for other people, and I just don't spend any points on them. As mentioned before, there really isn't any NTR of the player in this game, anymore then finding out your prostitute isn't a virgin. The Captain isn't in a relationship with any of them. However, technically speaking, the NTR in the game is you cucking Tibold by stealing Demi from him (which you don't see, but they state several times, and refer to it as cucking).
However, if I could get word back to the developers... the 'tease' scenes are some of the worst. Not to the point where I'd say remove them from the game, but they are barely even filler. I'd say leave them in, but they should be free upon unlocking the character. I've gotten almost every scene unlocked for one of the girls, and all that is left is the tease scenes... all of the tease scenes (I've unlocked most of them before in a previous version and didn't see any reason to do so this time). I have some points left over, but rather then spend even left over points on the tease scenes, I'll hold them in case I can load up this save file the next patch that comes out. If you have them open when the girl is first unlocked, it would be like saying, "Here is the new girl, you can see her all you want, but you need to get that devotion up if you want to do anything with her." In other words, use the tease scenes as teasers. Because they aren't worth spending devotion points on.
Back to game play. Some of the space fight deaths just seem like random unfairness, which means there might be some more tweaking needed there. I can play through, barely get any shield damage, doing great, then suddenly I'm surrounded and get just obliterated in about a second. Play through again, and get gold on the same map. I did play the stealth mission, and other than needing a better way to lose aggro, I didn't really have a problem with it. I'd suggest some dialog at the first pillar about how it will make the drones vulnerable, and maybe something pointing out the use of the 'sprint' feature on your ship will come in handy even though it disables the stealth field. It isn't something I'd like to be a regular feature, since it takes a long time, but I don't think it needs to be reworked much.
Also, during the ground based mission, on more than one occasion I've had enemies spawn in, and all decide to strike the same character the moment they did, taking a tank from full health to dead. This also feels very cheap. I'd just suggest having something where either all the enemy doesn't get to strike as soon as they show up, or they spread out their attacks. This could be based on whether or not they all attack the same person. For example, if they spawn in three melee, and only one character is within melee range, have only one of them be able to attack instantly, and the others have their attack phase pushed back. Or adjust where the enemy is spawning in, since it doesn't seem to be a set pattern, even occasionally spawning in behind my ranged characters on 'my side' of the map.
One more thing to keep in mind moving forward. "Ripped from the headlines" parody jokes about people in the video game industry are perhaps slightly funny during a short period after that event. Perhaps they could be used in a game with a very short development cycle. A lot of the references that were made are from so long ago that I barely got them, and some I missed entirely. At this point, you have a fairly decent idea how long this game is going to take to make (at least you know to measure it in years and not months). I'd suggest rewriting the parody quests into something a little more recognizable. Use tropes if you have to, make them funny within themselves and not needing minor stories that happened more than five years ago. Always punch upwards. Or, like the one with Gordon Ramsey, have it focusing on better people. Have a Bob Ross alien tasking you to rescue a tree on a planet because everyone needs a friend. Have a Steve Irwin character saving a planet of animals. Or not, not sure how their family would feel about them being in a porn game, I don't know. But basically just insulting everyone doesn't really feel funny if you keep doing it.
(note: Some of the Cumflation scenes are categorized as 'tease' for some reason, and I don't hold those scenes as bad at all. Just the ones where the girl isn't doing very much but posing or rubbing. Basically, non-fetish solo scenes.)
