A year and barely an hour of content. Very sad.
There are 19,000+ lines of code added in this update alone. Unless you're skipping every LI's content then you should end up with ~8 hours of content.
So this is not a harem game where the MC gets all the LI's????
I'm honestly not entirely sure at this point. The guys at Naughty Fox are tracking hundreds of variables for decisions you make with each LI's route (and in general), but there doesn't seem to be any definitive indication of a path that results in a full on harem.
What is seems like to me is that Mia, Eve, Sophie, Bree, and Kate will probably have a path where you can romance all of them, but other characters like Cass, Jenni, Livia, Hannah, Lainey, and Iris (Rainbow) might be strictly side content.
I really enjoyed the game up until this update, now I'm not really sure. I'm sticking around for Sophia, but Jesus at this point I think she can do much better than the MC. There's a lot of care and attention put into the renders, but the whole strip club seemed like filler, a lot of non-avoidable instances with characters I could give less of a fuck about, and an introduction to an AOA Academy side plot. I am still reeling as to why we can't object to going in the first place. Maybe at this point, I am just tired of playing as brain-dead horny alcoholic MCs or something. However,the romantic scene with Sophia felt almost perfect.
While the story does offer the player choices keep in mind that all stories follow some type of main plot with subplots to keep things interesting. The strip club aspect is a subplot that is intended to progress the main plot, and while it might feel contrived it does at least follow some logic given the demographic that the MC and Miller fall into.
This game comes nowhere close to BaDik lmao. BaDik updates are packed to the brim with content. 3-5 hours long each update. Summer heat is kinda vanilla and boring. The pacing is meh. Almost a year of dev time we got a update thats like a hour and 20 mins long at best. Story won't go anywhere for a long time.
You're grossly underestimating playtime for both games. To avoid this thread from derailing into a conversation about an entirely unrelated game; this update took me ~8 hours to work through due to following all of the paths for each LI. It's the
same size as all of the past updates
combined, so if you're clocking in ~1 hour of gameplay then you're most likely skipping out on huge sections of content.
