Now that I have had some free time on my hands because I don't have to go to school right now, I have been in search of good adult games and I have to say, what three days it has been since I have discovered this DEV's works. Love the story, love the characters in all of this DEV's games. I have played all of them starting with Sorcerer and I can't stress enough how good they are. There is just one problem I have with this one and one problem I saw on all of them.

This one's problem, in my opinion, is that no character has an '' in love '' relationship with the MC other than Chiel. I love a good romance story and I love it when the MC has a romantic relationship with almost all of the characters he sleeps with (it doesn't HAVE to be romantic but when it is, it just makes me feel good) You can sometimes feel the romance (for example, you could feel it when the option to kiss Qivian was presented) but it doesn't emphasized enough I feel. Now it, of course, is the DEV's choice but I just wanted to voice my opinion on it.


The problem with all of them is that there are no dialogues in sex scenes which in turn, in my opinion, causes them not to have significant impact and there is the problem of automatically continuing scenes, when I miss a dialogue and try to go back, it throws me back too much. This problem is the same as the other one though when it comes to it being the DEV's choice but no matter I guess because I played this DEV's work, for the most part, for it's story and not for the sexy bits. I just, again, wanted to voice my opinion so that maybe the game can be improved. I don't know if it can be called improvement since these are my preferences but maybe these are a big chunk of people's preferences so they can be called an improvement? But since the DEV didn't change how he makes his games for so long, I can't think that it is a populer demand or the DEV wants his games this way.

That's because Chiel is the only person the MC loves.

He likes some of the others but Chiel is the one.

That's been explained in detail since the first part.
Yeah I get that but I expect somekind of romance with all the characters that MC is involved with in the harem games that I play. It is my prefered harem game type. Like I said, I just wanted to voice my opinion, I don't actually expect a change but it just would be nice if this game started to go in that direction.

why would there be? they have loved eachother since years before trs1 start and others accept that and just want random sex.
Don't worry I get the reasoning behind it but I just like my harem games that way and let's be honest here this wouldn't be the craziest story out there. For example, in Sorcerer Em was the ''one'' for the MC but he loved a lot of people after that. I know that it is not the same context and I simplified it too much while explaining but you probably get what I'm saying.
I, of course, don't expect the DEV to change his game based on the opinion of some guy on the internet but if I didn't made my suggestion I wouldn't feel good about myself.

You might want to take look in the "Preferences: Extras" (screenshot below in spoiler) as there are pile of controls in there. The save indicator only appears if you don't have the walkthrough mod installed.

The scene speed controls non-sex scene automatic sequences, and it can be set to be paused and then it works like any other ren'py game with 5 million clicks. Some prefer it automated, some don't, the option is there (also some of these are in Sorcerer as well).

And some likes dialogue, some doesn't, it can be turned on or off in the preferences.

There isn't that much dialogue during the sex scenes because every time I write it I have to take a 5 minutes break because it makes me laugh.

I try to incorporate features that people suggest. Someone asked the ability pause between the scenes in Sorcerer, took me an update or so to implement it. Then other stuff came from there. Someone wanted the sex scenes be looped, it's just variable toggle and writing an image statement, it got put in. Someone wanted "save indicator" for choices that might cause game over, it got put in. Although that has been used only once so far...

There are some features still that I'm building up (like some sort of codex) but it takes time as making the actual VN is on higher priority. It will appear once I get it into state I'm happy with it.

As for the romance part, Garrett himself said it, he is shitty showing it. He loves Chiel the most, and he always will, that doesn't mean he doesn't care for the others. And in Terminus Reaches case, it also depends on the partner... some have different customs, for the Kziiri (Qivian's species) "romance" usually involves whips and chains, with Mevaar it's generally more business like since they have been built to have multiple "compatible" partners over their lifetime. So what you see with Nealea's scene, the touching and things is abnormal for them over all.

I think I can kinda understand why it makes you laugh because you aren't probably in the ''mood'' for most of them and them being in writing probably doesn't help as well when I think about it, it probably would make me laugh too if I was in your shoes. But I want to tell somethink about how I feel when it comes to sex scenes in your games. I look at the replay section and try to guess when the story will end based on the interval between the scenes and hope that I don't stumble upon a sex scene so that the story can continue longer. I don't think this is supposed to happen in an adult VN. You are supposed to hope for a sex scene but at the same time love to continue the story. My suggestion would be to incorporate some aspects of the other adult VNs sex scenes in your games so that the sex scenes can be improved because as it is, it looks like two people ''bumping into each other'' without any joints. It probably looks like this because we can see the whole picture. With some close ups and extra renders it might be possible to improve these scenes. But it's your choice of course, I just wanted to give you something to think about. You seem to want to focus on story instead of sex scenes but (I'm saying this without any knowledge of being a DEV) with a little work sex scenes might improve and this may increase your fan base.

I like the fact that you add sensible suggestions to your game because it might improve your game's overall quality and this in turn might increase your fan base which I would love to see happen because what I have seen so far is a DEV that finishes his games and works fast.

I don't know I kinda sensed that you were trying to give that romance vibe I was talking about when you added the option to kiss Qivian and it feels like the MC started to ''feel more'' emotions and started to show them more as we can see in one of the scenes (I can't exactly remember which one) where MC is sad because he can't spend much time with all his children but I might be reading into it too much. Nevertheless that part of my criticism was the most opinion based anyway so the game would be improved in my eyes and maybe not in the eyes of the most people or yours.

I'm sorry for the long comment but I really would love to see this game imrpoved and it's fan base increased so I wanted to make some suggestions.

Tested and played through a few times, all the saves worked. But that doesn't mean things didn't slip by. So as always, if there are any issues please report them on discord ( ).
As said in the changelog, I had a weird rollback thing happen with one of the saves, but the game progressed normally. But there were no errors, so ren'py being ren'py I guess. Anyway the links.

EDIT: Apparently somethings I fixed didn't stay fixed. During one of the scenes Nadia uses the variable instead of MC's name. There is a fix to it:
Drop it in the /game folder and let it override the scripts.rpa. Note, Shaddy's mod contains this fix already.

This should be interesting, as due to a thunderstorm couple hours ago seemingly knocking out my internet, got to call the internet company in the morning because modem is not getting any lights at all, I'm doing this comment on my phone. But just finished Update 10, and back to being caught up with the Dev.

Thank you so very much for this game thus far, really enjoying it, and looking forward for Update 11.

Hmmm, have you extracted any of the .RPA's? Namely, do you have names.rpy in the /game folder? Because that error does suggest that it's being overridden by old version of it.

I had the same issue in the last update.
I had extracted the RPA-s and installed the Multi mod and messed up something during the process.

I've deleted the folder keeping only the save files and repeated the whole process (unzip, mod install, extract RPAs) and it worked fine the second time.

Ok, I just have to ask, when are we going to hook up with the new doc and Neeshush (or however you spell her name and the short green lady)?

They are just begging to hook up.
