Haha, your idea would be copying MGD, MGD is Monster Girl Dreams, a game made by Threshold (I hope I wrote that right) one of my favourite femdom games (even if I left it because they are so slow with updates, hoping to come back when a LOT of content has been added)
Thank you for your really kind review! I really appreciate your feedback, both positive and negative! Let me explain and respond some of your points, I love responding to comments hehe.Hi Callie, thanks for your continued work on this! Had to play it right away
I did encounter some bugs which I think limited my experience a bit, here are some possible bugs and general thoughts as well!
*** Bugs ***
- As mentioned by another poster above, I teleported to stage 2 upon starting the new stage. In fact it was a full stage 2 (fought the boss again), and after completing that, I could go to the new stage, but in exploration mode. If I'm reading the changelog correctly, I'm assuming this is wrong and that there is a standard progression and boss before exploration mode is supposed to be enabled for the city?
I'm guessing maybe my save game was in an unexpected state that caused this teleportation issue.
- The tourist girl starts off injured for me (180 hp). And I didn't get any tutorial on elements. I'm guessing this is related to the teleportation issue.
- From reading your changelog, there's supposed to be an old man in the market that explains how to skip. He isn't in the market for me.
*** Random thoughts ***
- I LOVE that you added addictions. That said, I don't think it's sustainable to display them as status effects, especially given the number of addictions you've got lined up. It's already cluttering the in-combat "real" status effects. It would be good to have the addictions shown somewhere else instead (even if it's a little clunkier, like using an item).
I also share similar concerns as other posters regarding how addictions are managed. That'll be an interesting area to think about.
- I also love that while the game is foot-focused (great in itself), you're still balancing with some other material. Some of my favorite scenes you've created are actually the pure seduction stuff (e.g. from the two succubi, and the secret twins). Your general creativity in these scenes is also really fun (the tourist girl camera scenes were super original!), so I hope you'll keep up the great work.
- Did I miss a tutorial on the status effects like hazed, etc. ? I have no idea what they do.
- Balance-wise, the roller girl seems VERY strong compared to the other enemies. Her evasion rate is just crazy to me. Though perhaps there is some counter-play to that that I haven't understood.
I hope to share more thoughts once I've seen all the content!

On a meta-level, I'm glad you're receptive to the feedback here. Sorry to hear some of it was not-so-friendly but glad that hasn't shaken you! Hope you know that for every jerk there are many more real fans (silent or not). And I hope you're able to account for the feedback without over-indexing on it at the expense of your vision for the game
Monster Girl Dreams. It's where dreams go to rest
That's funny in more than one way. I didn't catch that acronym from the previous conversation, but I have been working a lot lately.
No shotas or lolis in sight sir hehe, I also put a small disclaimer at the start of the game where I tell that all of the characters are 18 years old, there can be some slightly short characters but nothing like a loli or shota.
Thanks for the small review, yeah I could've taken more time for the release, but I regret nothing ,the amount of bugs and nitpicks are A LOT smaller than the disaster I had to fix haha, so I'm quite relieved, don't worry, as I said already, I'm willing to release a small patch that fixes the bugs and glitches encountered by you all, you have no idea how much you're helping me by reporting them.
Agreed with angel foot worship being a must to add.
Do you both think that I will not add this possibility in the future? hehe, you know I'll give you all the opportunity to play with Philla's feet (and maybe do much more) when the time comes, a new option on the the bed will appear, yeah I do not plan for the "play with philla" action to be mapped to the right arrow key while in the house, the right button is going to be something else that I have in mind, since there's the kitchen over there, you can probably understand part of what's my idea.
whoops just noticed this now, yeah there's nothing really new after the third stage unfortunately, I lost a lot of time with some mechanics that I put in the game, for example the roller girl's counter took me a lot of time to make it was quite complex to make and I almost raged haha, then there's the stacking addictions and the pray system, those are all new mechanics that took a lot of my time and thus the stage doesn't have much regarding new content for the story, but it's fine, the next part is going to be quite interesting as Alex meets another key character that I'm sure most of you all will like ;P
). Only a few more comments/ideas:
Thanks for your second feedback for this version, and expecially, thanks for using the save file I made 'xD I should make a note that says to NOT use the previous build's save file. That said, let me respond to everything you said.Hi Callie,
Thank you for your earlier reply! I've now played through all the content (AFAIK) in this version. I totally missed that you provided a save game the first time around; using that I was able to get through everything without teleporting (well, at least if I didn't press left/right/back in the first city run
- The element system is great, but there isn't really a way to prepare yourself for the various enemies, especially with so few orb slots. I'm glad to see you already have a solution planned for this though, I was going to suggest something very similar!
- Right now there is very little incentive to fight enemies instead of just escaping. Maybe nerf the baseline escape chance, and make it harder to escape the more times you've done it in a single run of an area? Otherwise, the incentive is just to fight the easy enemies, and run from the harder ones -- or just beeline to the boss if you're already strong enough to beat them.
- The quick-time / button-spamming events are all quite easy right now. For me at least, there's basically no way to fail them unless I'm not trying. Maybe an easy way to address it without taking much of your time would be to simply have a slider or a few difficulty options that decrease the time you have to react/spam by X%.
- Tiny naming bug: Body mend is called "Graceful prayer" when cast.

Now then, I have to face the eternal dilemma -- play each version as it comes out and provide feedback, or let a whole bunch of versions stack up and experience a big block of content at once
There already is a futa/femboy switch-.. at the start of the game, the game asks you if you want to activate or deactivate futa/femboy content, if you're instead using the save file that I made for the people who played the previous versions (even if the switch should be already turned off there) you can press left while in the home and set things there, you can even choose if the smell from feet or armpits should be ON or OFF, like I wrote in the tags, futa/femboy content is optional.
you really know how to hype up your audience
what i saw on your DA is really, really promising too
Hehe, thanks, the version 0.2a containing the bugfixes and balancing for version 0.2 is just now uploading at the beautiful speed of-.. 15kb/s, quite the crazy upload speed am I right? Internet sucks today but I'll post at least the Mega link when it's ready!you really know how to hype up your audience
