Wasn't too bad, though as has already been mentioned, renders could use some work. But otherwise, writing was decent and enjoyed it. Not a fan of a druggie MC though. But after picking up Melissa and the forced sex with her without any choice, I was done with it. Nothing against your game or anything, just personally not a fan of forced sex/relations without any choice.

It's a Kinetic Novel. There are no choices, except for one and it was what movie to watch. And it didn't even matter as no matter what choice you pick, the scene plays out the exact same for each option. Might as well not even have that and just stick to making a Kinetic Novel if that is the way you want to go.

But yeah, the MC doing drugs and getting high, along with the forcing sex/relations without choice kind of killed it for me. But everything else was pretty decent. Either way, best of luck with your project and thanks. :)

Just 'played' through just the remade bits and the redone renders are a significant improvement. There are still some oddities here and there though, like the daughter looking older than everyone else or the MC's horribly disfigured groin, but an improvement on the first release as I remember it.

At least I'm not going to get loli vibes from this one, so count that as a win.

When I commented on the lack of choices after the first version was released, the dev responded that they intended to include a lot of choices once the main cast had been introduced, but glancing at the script for chapters 2 and 3 it seems we haven't reached that point yet. On the contrary, one of the two (fairly minor) choices in the initial version of chapter one has been removed in the rewrite (presumably for ease of rendering).

Maybe we'll get there eventually but yeah, for now it's entirely linear.

So I really like the thought bubbles, nice touch.

I liked the sequence with the real porn scenes, But I need to ask is your lawyer really that good, or are you living somewhere where copyright is more of a guideline?

The new renders got much better and I still like the style, but the direction you implied is a no for me (but if you would be so kind, to roughly explain what kind of femdom we are talking about?)

Just saying. It would probably be helpful if you would specify that the Femdom doesn't happen to the MC. Because that shit turned already some people off your game. Especially because we are/were expecting a maledom game from your last versions. That would probably ease some minds.

Just gave this a first try and well first the good things:

I like the story. It's well told and while the thinking bubbles are unusal I got used to it really quick.
Music is there and fitting. It just isn't really original or special - unless some short playing snipets of popular songs.

The not so good things:

The renders... ok they go from grainy and blurred as fuck to really good. Some facial expressions need a rework though. This is just the stuff of nightmares sometimes. Here are some samples:

And here is one of the really good renders so no one is turned away instantly:

The renders SEEM to get better with time. If it is all from the same guy/gal KUDOS for this big improvement.

I will keep an eye on this one. A good, well told story is more important to me than being a graphic whore. :)

Why does the daughter look like a 40 year old rock star? And her head is too big for her body.

Yeah there is a LOT of variation in the quality. hence why I am also re-doing chapter 1 along the way. when I began I was working with 1 1050ti Graphics card. at the start of producing the renders for Chapter 3 I acquired a second one which has helped a lot.

But. it is still just me and my potato doing all of this, and Jim on programming. but. we're getting there!

I am looking into the situation with tags. I have made a couple of small alterations while I look into it in more depth to provide a more comprehensive set of Tags for the game.
