RPGM - Completed - TakenoteR [v1.0] [HNStudy]

Don't get fooled by simple looking art, this game is fucking hoooot and has a lot of potencial to be even better. I really don't appreciate netorare content when you play the cheated MC, but when MC is the cheater, is a lot more interesting.

One thing that I liked: Elika development into a bitchy wife is beautifully done, and her growing frustation from not having sex is a masterpiece in porn games storytelling.

One thing that needs to get better: The second interaction in the beach is pretty much equal the first one, but she already know the staff guy´s intention, should react in a less naive way.

this is like a jab comic in a rpgm format and I like it
so far pretty solid scenes but there is still room left for the further downfall of the protagonist
looking forward to future, hopefully frequent, updates

Reviewed on v0.6

It's a really fun little game that explores a wife slowly beginning to cheat on her husband with various men while the two of them are on vacation. The wife keeps finding herself going along with sexual situations under the pretense that she's just taking notes for the next erotic novel she's going to write. It's fun to see her clearly lying to herself in the heat of the moment, and offers a fun (if not a little silly) justification to her slow moral degeneration. While she does grapple with feelings of guilt at her actions, the game never dwells on them for so long that it brings down the mood; this is a fun romp that doesnt stray from being light hearted.

As many people in the thread have mentioned, the art is great, and stands out particularly against the normal backdrop of anime on this website. It's a very distinct style. And I would know, I first started jerking off to the artist that this games art was traced from like 16 years ago. It's a rip off of JAB from Jab-Comix. I'm not giving any moral repudiations to it, at the end of the day, talking about tracing art while on a website that hosts largely stolen porn games is a bit of the pot calling the kettle black - but it was interesting enough that I felt it needed mentioning.

Also, gonna bandwagon on Every1sGrudge's comment and petition for the title to be changed to NoteTakeR to slip NTR into the title lol.

Looking forward to future updates.

I really like the simplicity of the story and the gameplay. No grinding, no quests, no combat, no points gathering. Keep it that way. The art is unique but it could be a little bit better, but it is still good.

really great for what it is. hope it becomes less linear as it gets further into development. some of the art could use some touching up but overall i really like the art style. The build up and scenes is really good even if the English isn't always perfect but these are very very minor gripes.

The built of the character is slow and nice, in spite of we kwow at certain point she will become en in a sizequeen anal slut, the corruption of a wife it's always exiting to see, the dev should find his own way to tell this common history and I think, he's in the rigth way, anyway, I would aprecitate less clifhangers

Absolutely fantastic job with the game so far. As a player, I must admit that I'm eagerly waiting in anticipation to see what direction you're planning to take this game in the future. Your vision is truly commendable, and it keeps me constantly on the edge of my seat, curious about the upcoming developments.

Furthermore, one of the aspects I thoroughly appreciate in your game is the rich roster of secondary characters that you've thoughtfully created. These characters not only add depth to the overall gameplay experience but also provide a diverse narrative landscape, making the game significantly more engaging. Their presence offers a dynamic, nuanced environment, one which I am sure will unfurl even more complexity as the game evolves.

I am particularly excited about the potential interactions with these secondary characters in future updates. The opportunity for players to delve deeper into the game world through interactions with these characters, I believe, will only enhance the game's appeal. This potential for deeper engagement adds a layer of richness and depth to the gaming experience that many players, including myself, find absolutely thrilling.

Please, keep up the great work. Your efforts to refine and further develop this game are not going unnoticed. On the contrary, they are amplifying the anticipation and excitement among players. We are all looking forward to the next steps in this gaming journey.

Excellent game and totally unique. A master piece in its gender, very original. Deserves a better place and more donations!!! Can't wait for the continuations and missed options (scenes). Continue with the grat job!

Review is for v0.5
A game with a lot of promise.
It's got a unique art style that's not great, but still pretty dang good. Characters are interesting enough and the story is passable.

Really my only complaint is that there isn't that much content right now, and some of the bigger scenes aren't completed which left me feeling unfulfilled. It's also apparent that the creators first language is not English because there are a plethora of grammatical errors and sentences that only half makes sense.
All in all though, a couple really big updates and this game is going places.

Nice art, nice story.. what else... I will wait this nudist beach now

Hope in the future some ntr scenes... Husband seems encourage his wife in his writting note

Wait and see next episode but sure it will be very good

[Rev @ TakenoteR [v0.5]

...how did that backronym fail? NoteTakeR is so obvious...

Art's fine. It's better than I could do.

Writing is hokey. Scenario's been done, narrative is more than a bit contrived, characterization is one-note.

Porn's boring and vanilla thus far.

I dislike these games that are stuck squirming on their back between VN and RPG; unable to right themselves and move to one side or the other. It's made in RPGMaker for future scenes of Clueless Dork Husband being Near but Not Near Enough to his wife getting railed, but so far the game is presented as so hand-holdy that it not being a VN feels like an obtuse effort to stretch play time.

TLDR: This has potential, but this version is rough.

Quite good game if you like NTR content. I pretty like the art-style and the story is good enough. Absolutelly recomended if you like NTR and 2dcg.

The development is not slow, but still could be faster. I'm not complainning, just a constructive criticism.

I see potential here, but as most games when they start off that's pretty much all it has. You see that one image of some other girl riding a dick? That's where the vaginal sex tag comes from (there's also some scene of another random woman), there isn't a whole lot the PC does as of now

Art is...serviceable, even has it's own charm to it...at least for women can not get behind the way dudes look here. The scenarios in it are pretty hot tho which makes up for the art, although there's some scatterbrained writing behind some of them (as in the corruption of the PC is off in pacing between imo)

As a game it completely falls on it's face. It's a scene hunting game where you have to find specific npcs to talk to but there's nothing indicating which npc is the one you need. And sure you could say "well just use context clues to figure it out instead of needing the game to have flashing lights for you" but not only do some of these npcs make no sense for the current objective but there's no quest log to remind you what you should be looking for. Also there's a part where the game wants you to find a pumpkin that moves around the map 5 times for some reason before you continue...fucking what?

There's a computer that functions as a gallery but it feels awkward the way it's implemented, towards the end of the current version and using the movement keys to move the cursor to select the scene you want to view which you first need to spend notes to unlock for some reason (this isn't a grinding problem as you'll have all the notes you need, just seems like an unnecessary step when you can just simply have the scenes unlocked from the get go after seeing them during the course of the game). Also it only has 2 of the...8(?) scenes currently available for rewatching.

Oh and as a little side note ig the translation isn't 100% there, it's not MTL bread by any means just the occasional slip up.

tl;dr: I see potential for the game, needs more time in the oven and not much reason to get it as is

Great game! One of my favorites currently. The story is good, solid build up and I really like the art.

The game could use some sort of a quest log so you know what to do, but the map is small enough that it's pretty quick and easy to figure out.

Keep up the great work!

The story is interesting, I hope the drawing will be better in the future, but even now it is good despite some details. Sometimes you don't know what to do and there's not enough quest sheet, but still a score of 5!

Very promising project for a first game. Although art looks kinda janky i really enjoy it. It's still in early development so i's a little lacking in amount of scenes but that's obvious. I'm 100% going to comeback to this one when more content comes out.
Art 3/5
Story 4/5
Gameplay 4/5
Fapability 4/5
Originality 4.5/5

This game has a lot of potential. i love the art style, the female protagonist is super cute and the atmosphere is on point. sure, some things are missing right now like a gallery but im positive that this will be implemented!

I really liked this demo. It looks promising. The art was actually quite nice. As the other reviewer said, a journal would be really nice. A few more poses before we get right into a lewd scene would be great too. Overall, liked the demo and can't wait for more.

There are very few skills that truly matter in life, and one of them is the ability to deliver on commitments despite life's challenges.

HNStudy, you have truly demonstrated this by delivering a high-quality game while navigating the demands of your studies, and you’ve managed to impress the entire audience.

Congratulations to you, sir. With this kind of skill and determination, you will succeed in whatever path you choose.

Amazing game, and an amazing developer.

The game is high quality, the art, the story the delivery pace.
Everything is just great!
