That's just me. I don't like it, but others will.

It doesn't help that MC keeps leading her on and giving her mixed signals even if you've made it clear you don't want her. If we were allowed to say, "Sorry Mia, I just don't see you that way.", she wouldn't be so clingy and annoying (if you are not on her path) and they could settle back into friendship. Instead we get to say, not interested in Mia and then cuddle up on the lounge and just lie there letting her rub MC dick.
I see what you are saying, the problem rn is that the devs have build up MC being into her in the past, so she is fairly pushed into MC yeah. It's probably not gonna last when the game gonna get going and MC get more seriously involved with another girl. Anyway imo it's fine it's not too much and the dev need to set up a bit of drama otherwise the game is gonna be boring^^

I don't hate Mia either, I just don't like her personality.
I also think Mia had very bad luck and she's fighting the hardest battle in terms of physical beauty, if Mia was a LI in 97% of the other F95 visual novels she'd be in my top for sure, but these are the big leagues, Bree, Sophie and Eve leave her far behind.

We've been working on a new feature for the in-game laptop that'll allow you to dress the characters and design your own outfits. It's a dress-up simulator!
Great, just what the game needs :HideThePain:. If it doesn't take too much development time should be fine, still, I think the devs should focus on the story instead of pointless features like a dress-up simulator :HideThePain:

Mia looking fine as hell in this red swimsuit. I don't see how anyone can hate this Angel. :love:

People generally find her less attractive compared to the other main girls. I believe this is largely because MC is able to get close to her too easily, which makes her affection undervalue. In terms of appearance, she’s just as stunning as the other girls. One key difference is that she already has a deep emotional foundation with MC, which means MC doesn’t need to make much effort to win Mia over.

On the other hand, for the other girls, players must go through the process of getting to know them alongside MC. This process gives players a sense of having truly invested effort, which makes them cherish the emotional connections with these other girls more. This is also where MC and the player diverge—when it comes to Mia’s relationship, the player and MC are not aligned. MC already knows Mia, and their bond wasn’t built through the player’s efforts. In this sense, Mia can be seen as the “easy mode” of the game, while the other girls represent the more challenging modes. Of course, this is just an imperfect analogy.

This perspective is something I rarely see discussed as a reason why Mia is less popular. Personally, I really like Mia, but I also understand the common criticisms people have of her—such as her insecurity, jealousy, and possessiveness. I did feel the pressure from her during my playthrough. So, I don’t think these criticisms are unreasonable. On the contrary, I feel the same with them.

If I recall correctly, during her introduction, we can sense her repressing her desires when she writes about her hopes for the future. I think she’s someone who deeply yearns to fly free but is weighed down by worries about reality. At the same time, she’s incredibly kind, always striving to suppress her anxieties. For example, her interactions with Sophie evolve from guardedness to friendliness. And when she realizes her unintentional mistakes, she immediately wants to apologize to Sophie. To me, this shows she is truly a kind-hearted girl—just someone who finds it hard to let her guard down. She’s far from the exaggerated “yandere” stereotype that some people portray her as.

I believe that as the story progresses, we’ll get to know her even better. I hope everyone can be kinder to her. It’s fine to favor other main girls more, but please don’t overly criticize this kind angel.

It's already done, they just have to add the dress pols to the game as a sideshow or whatever. No extra work at all.

I think it's a matter of her story role not her looks or personality. She's cute and has a dump truck ass, she would be wife material irl, but the game pretty much forces her on you since the beginning. Sometimes when you take something for granted it loses value. You have to chase the other girls and that's part of the appeal I think.

Yeah, agree...

Different clothes mean x times number of renders per any given scene (where x is the amount of clothing choices).

Adding a clothing simulator seems a strange choice given the criticism the Devs received over the l-o-n-g development time for the last update. Surely a clothing simulator will increase development between updates.

What next? A volume-like slider to change the MC's cock size?

Hmmm i don't thing that's what it is tho. Seems more like a photo mode where you can't fit and pose the girls, in the menu or something (like a characters/models viewer in some games). I don't think it's gonna impact the game what so ever.

Hello, everyone!
This week was heavy on coding and rendering. We've been working on a new feature for the in-game laptop that'll allow you to dress the characters and design your own outfits. It's a dress-up simulator! Right now it only includes the main girls but we might choose to add some side girls too.
The dress-up simulator has potential to expand a lot with multiple poses and clothing options in the future, but for starters we're focusing on the clothes already in the game. Ever wondered what Sophie would look like in a red bikini? Well, now you can find out!
Soon we'll get to progress to the individual girl scenes. These are always nice to work on as there is only one character on the screen to focus on, at least most of the time. The rendering rig has also been keeping busy! During the last update, problems started piling up around this time as the outdoor scenes became little bit problematic, but it's smooth sailing now.
We also worked on Freeplay and Ember content, as well as going over the plans for a lewd scene.

Weekly summary:
  • 89 renders
  • Ember dialogue
  • Dress-up simulator
  • Main girl bios/gallery

Other news
The poll for Mia's swimwear has ended and #4 was the overwhelming favorite across all tiers! No need to break out the calculator this time. We've also attached the images to this post in case you want to have a closer look.

Becca from Ember had a little gift for you last weekend!
The special renders will also continue this month.

Cheers and have a great weekend!

maybe its just me, but the devs just had major backlash because of a lackluster update, and the main plot not really going anywhere, so I'm wondering who on their team decided that the dress-up feature should take priority over actually moving the game along.
thoughts, chat?

Them working on that dosn't mean it take priority on the game Plus working on little side project is always good for the mental when you work for years on something. Also you guys bashing the game all the time is getting old, can we not move on? :)

Another aspect to this perspective is that what the player and MC experience are different, so the player formulates different reactions than MC, leading to many "WTF?" comments. MC has this back history with Mia which is slowly being revealed which informs why he is the way he is around her though there are huge missing pieces (did they have a fight? did MC have a total blackout and not remember anything that happened with her after the party so she's in hate/love with him?). The other side of this is that the player sees things that MC does not, Mia's sidelong looks (at the pickup location, on the stairs, the couch and watching MC hanging out at the pool), her sulking on the stairs (if you didn't leave the pool earlier), etc. which leads the player to formulate an opinion of Mia that the MC can't add in to his experience. So yeah, some people think she's psycho creepy and others think she's pining away.

It's the "childhood friendship becoming love" trope. Some people don't like that, especially in a non-harem game. But it has its fans. And Mia's fucking hot imo

If Sophie wasn't there then Mia would be my go-to, so nothing against her. I think that if we (as players) didn't see how sulky and petulant she is that more people would elevate Mia as an LI. We don't get that perspective on the other girls as much which might taint some people's opinion. If we saw Sophie writing in a notebook "I hate that bitch Eve and hope she dies" with lots of different drawings of ways Eve is getting horribly killed then I would drop her down at least one notch (because, damn that body and those eyes make up for a hell of a lot!).
