I was expecting the daily lifes of a powerful family, full of backstabbers trying to replace the dad, but lets try this
You've summed it up quite nicely, except they all trying to backstab each other to become the next Duke/Duke adjacent. A sexy hunger games but with royalty and British sentiments?

Hiya! In the upcoming seasons we will dive into all of these (and more). One of our drives as devs of succession is to work closely with our specific audiences to learn what they want to see, and how we can realistically add to that our roadmap without deviating from the master plans or overall feel of the game.

There will be multiple endings and results (who you can end with, etc - we don't want to strong arm this as we want the player to have as much agency as possible) but it doesn't have to monogamous, and there will be opportunities for harem, bi, lesbian, etc. We are aiming to make the play through that present options of festishes/favourite interests that you can take or reject to suit what you want out of the experience. It's a decent undertaking, but we're fairly confident with our development chops to make it happen and feel more bespoke.

Hope this helps :)

since you are open to add different kinks i'd love if there's NTRS ( sharing ) or NTR ( cheating ) paths in the game

Thanks for your request - and YEP we definitely have those kinks marked as options if that's the road you want to take ;)

Edit: Upon further discussion, we realise that just because the game includes elements of a 'kink', we will not be including it as a tag as the expectation for how much it will appear in the game isn't sufficient to include the tag. Specifically with the NTR, we were referring to the one character who is currently married and assumed because she can become a LI of MC, that it would be included as the NTR tag. Our bad. We're learning what the tags mean to the community before declaring the official future tag list. We want to do our best to offer (avoidable if required) options to explore kink content if they make sense to the story, but not new overarching themes for an already decided story.

good start/interesting story so far. wonder what future tags are? Most likely support it in the future, but I will wait for a few updates before proceeding

Nice start. It's hard to make assessments on character strength in such a small sample. Right now, they all seem one-dimensional but each has room to expand. The writing has potential and the renders are solid (in my opinion, at least). I will look forward to seeing how the story grows.

EDIT: Mmm renders look good, models too, quite long for a demo but too much drama at once, it seems this is going to have a sandbox or freeroam as the overview says, leaving that aside, the characters presented would be the Mc's stepsisters and the stepmother, so dev, I think you should reconsider the use of Patreon or make some Patch (but due to the type of story that's going to be difficult)

Anyways, thanks and good luck.
Thanks for the awesome, concise feedback! Really appreciate it. The step sibling circumstance is really not part of a 'kink' in this storyline, as it's more important that there are other claims to the inheritance that creates drama. They didn't grow up together and have never met until this moment when the common denominator is already dead, making them....ex step everythings? Aware of Patreon's strong stance against incest, and it wasn't something we were actively pursuing as a brother/sister/family kink, which is why I wanted them to be strangers. We will obviously pivot, if we need to, thank you again for the heads up.

What we're hoping to achieve in regards to having some say in the storyline, we don't mean they have 'creative control' over it, but rather we actively seek some feedback from the audience, as we are making this game for them. In saying that, we have a very strong idea and roadmap for the entire game storywise, and will be sticking it to as closely as we can so that it makes sense.

With regards to the relationship with Kit, at the start of the story, MC comes from this one place in life with experiences of this one woman - which will play into the stark contrast with every other woman and environment he meets. He is very much what he thinks is 'in love' with Kitty, but he is technically single (and so is she), but whether or not he stays in love with her is an active choice of the player.

Again, thank you SO MUCH for taking the time to play and give us this feedback. It's really incredible and detailed, so thanks.

Impo, if you try to please everyone you'll end up pleasing no one, since you'll end up having to do everything avoidable if you want to attract different type of players, or opt for forced content and lose more players, also certainly listening and putting what people ask for is not good.

Leaving that aside, if you are going to use Patreon I must warn you that if the stepsisters and stepmother are possible LI patreon is not very kind to incest and step-shit either and they can close your account (you should read the patreon TOS) you should think about opening a Subscribestar since a patch with the story would be difficult (I mean it's about who receives the inheritance, obviously they have a relationship with the Mc)

4 ten-episode seasons? So assuming 1 season per release that's 40 updates. That's...ambitious. :oops:

I'll have to check this one out.

Good luck.
