Just done a run through of this again forgot how amusing it is. Graphics are improving too. Anyone know if there is still going to be an update. Hope not having a patreon affected rewrite as liking the direction story seems to be going.
- Thread starter Network 34 Games
- Start date
Hoping to have the new release out by the weekend.. Beta testing took a little longer than planned.
And don't worry. Patreons have no effect on the story. (or Patreon Inc's dumb new rules.)
The characters on the other hand... have definitely been known to side-track things! (Especially a certain Red-eyed Pixie!)

Was thinking Patreon Inc's rules. But really glad you are telling the story you want to tell.
I have probably missed it but is it possible to play previous episodes of Pixi trek. Was thinking a launcher from main menu or something.

Those SHOULD all be available to select from the gallery.. (I really need to do something better for those really lol)

Not sure that's going to continue to be an issue going forward. Google wants to lock out indie devs, sounds like (after making sure to get Apple in trouble for doing the same ofc) - so pretty soon there might only be OSs with decent file size limitations left to worry about. :shrug:
Aye. but for now it hasn't happened. I'll revisit this should anything go down.

Congratulations on completing the first part, Ara! The renders are certainly improving release to release and the previews of chapter 6 are looking even better.
Keeping the filesize down helps with distributing as well. Every update you have to upload everything unless you go through a lot of effort to produce, test and distribute self-contained update patches. Very few games do that, I can think of Tribulations of a Mage off the top of my head, maybe a couple others here and there.
So resetting once and a while makes it easier for everyone.
lol please don't. There's too much compression on the webps already!
That's not until 2027 outside of brazil and a few other unlucky countries that get the "preview" next year. And only for people who buy the latest phones. Taking away sideloading from existing phones would probably be enough to get all the CEOs lynched... As the MC said, that's a problem for future me!

In a way, I'd kinda like to see it go... more because the filesize limit means i cant include as many animations etc. would be nice to be able to do more with that, but video files make number get big. so have to limit them. And not having to worry about keeping everything below 2Gb will definitely open up some options for other Davs too.Congratulations on completing the first part, Ara!

It seems like I've been playing this game for SO long, and yet I still have no clue what the story actually is, other than 'Cher tribute act looking dude giving all his money away to a bunch of very ugly women.'
Also... the MC hair simply has to go, it's so horrendous looking, and it's always magically switching between ass length and shoulder length.
Also Also... why in the hell does a guy who runs a successful tech company not even bother to have any home security?
PS.
the Dog is by far the most interesting character.

The general sense I get from this title is that it's developed with the principle of "meh, good enough".
The early game has renders that are severely undercooked, and while the quality does improve, it's still not there yet.
Lighting feels off and changes between renders in the same scene. Characters are often overlit compared to their environment, and often renders are too dark entirely.
There's also a lack of attention to details, like Ashley using a keyboard that's turned around, or books arranged with their backs against the wall, and the MC's hair changing in length.
The animations that are introduced in chapter 4 are a big improvement that makes the world feel more alive. Sadly, some also suffer from the "good enough" mentality; for instance, a car that's much too small for the person sitting in it.
Story-wise, characters get retconned, with the worst offenders being Shayna and Stuart.
And what about Melissa's backstory? Did she detox by finding help from a nice Christian couple or Charlie? It's stuff like this that makes me think the story gets written update per update, instead of according to a plan or rough draft. If a character's backstory can change, how can I believe there's been any planning involved while creating this story?
If we had been given the choice, I wouldn't hook up with Shayna at all. She's sweet but also doesn't have a self-preserving bone in her body; she's dead weight, bringing nothing to a potential relationship. Sure, she's fun to be around as a friend. But does the MC really want to be the guy fighting all of her battles?
She was with Stuart for about 7 years, and he's been stalking her for two. Not only did it take her years to build up the courage to dump him, but she also allowed him to make her feel unsafe while doing nothing to resolve it. She has excuse after excuse, like not being able to afford a lawyer (pro bono doesn't exist?) and that cops don't do anything... As if the letters Stuart sends her daily alone aren't enough to make the cops take action. Again, two years... Even if pro bono doesn't exist, dealing with Stuart isn't essential enough to put some money aside for?
All of this paints Shayna as passive, irresponsible, and spineless, making it even more unlikely that she remained a virgin while living with Stuart. At the same time, the situation with Stuart provides her with a sob story to emotionally leech off the MC and treat him like her emotional support animal.
Her behavior, to me, is a severe red flag. The kind of woman to whom everything happens and who makes excuses to justify being powerless and needing to be saved.
Get your head around this: even when Shayna is holding the MC's erect cock, preparing to suck on it, she tells him that she only did it a few times with Stuart. This dialogue only has one purpose, to try and convince players of how pure and innocent she is, but it kills the mood. She's holding his cock; Stuart should be the last thing on her mind.
Suggestions on how to fix Shayna:
As I said earlier, given the choice, I wouldn't hook up with Shayna. Stuart is constantly on her mind, and as long as that doesn't change, I wouldn't want to get into a relationship with her. While we are shown that they get along great and have a physical attraction, Shayna's red flags are swept under the rug in favor of a savior trope. Getting into a relationship with someone who has baggage is one thing, but doing it while they're still packing their emotional bags is another. This, in turn, makes me lament the lack of choices. With a title like "The Accidental Master", we can guess which way the story is going, and I think there's no need for the MC to fuck everyone. He could take a leadership role in Shayna's life, empowering her to better herself without a romantic relationship, if that's what the player wants.
The only reason to force this relationship is to make Shayna the first wife of the harem, but she doesn't have the personality for it. She isn't assertive and doesn't stand her ground. The writing does try to force it, by making Shayna into some klind of cuck queen, but it just doesn't work. How can I believe that this 25-year-old girl, who was pining after the MC for months and lost her virginity to him yesterday, is suddenly excited by imagining him sleeping with others, including his daughter? All of this is new to her, but suddenly she performs sex acts like a porn star and is fully in touch with what excites her. How do I combine the view of this girl who suffered Stuart's stalking for years, behaving like a spineless victim, with that of the horny assertive dirty-talking succubus sitting on the MC's dick?
Another frustration I have is that the MC isn't required to sacrifice. As head of the not-only-robots company, he's free to deal out favors left and right and let people spend money without it hurting. He'll tell Jamie she can smoke weed and make sure her piss test won't get her fired. There's no struggle, no drama... Except the drama the women bring into his life.
At the same time, this superpower isn't used consistently. Couldn't he have asked his company's lawyer to look into a restraining order for Stuart?
He's also extremely trusting, like giving people he doesn't know free rein of his offices, and even mixes two businesses by giving the bar's staff (Hannah) access to Merlin's gym. Each business is a separate entity, and he'd do well to remember that.
All things considered, these points are relatively minor but still have a large impact on my enjoyment of this story. But there are still many things this AVN gets right.

- Ashley "Well there's Shayna who I think is like 24 or 25."
- Shayna "Me and Stuart got together when I was 15. He was 17."
- Melissa "I mean... Look at Stuart! He was nearly 10 years older than she was!"
- Stuart "THIS time though. Yer gonna give me yer PUSSY too!"
- And, miraculously, despite having been together for 6-7 years and even having lived together, Shanya is still a virgin.
- Tells Amy she isn't bi or lesbian
- Doesn't resist Jamie's kiss at all when showering together
- She jilled off thinking about her father, the MC
- Isn't protective or possessive about him at all.
- She doesn't even try to be physically close to him, hinting at a certain attraction

This dialogue only has one purpose, to try and convince players of how pure and innocent she is, but it kills the mood. She's holding his cock; Stuart should be the last thing on her mind.
Suggestions on how to fix Shayna:
- Make her a serial monogamist with a series of short relationships
- She could consider herself asexual, never having felt that sexual spark. This matches her need to be utterly dominated and not discovering that with any of her partners. Though, you'd have to explain why she felt that spark with the MC.
- Or, reconsider that she has to be a virgin. The way she jumps on the MC's cock makes it even less believable that she never jumped on Stuart's in the years they've been together since she was a naive teenager.
- Stuart was her last boyfriend; she was attracted to how possessive he was but broke it off after he made her feel pressured and unsafe.
- She left him 2 months ago instead of 2 years, making the issue with Stuart more acute than chronic.
- They never lived together.
- Make her less passive. If Stuart has been stalking her for 2 months, then she could've started a procedure already to get a restraining order. Show her doing something to actively get rid of him, instead of just waiting it out while making excuses.
- Regardless of these other suggestions, make Stuart more nuanced. He's portrayed as a one-dimensional, moronic, and irredeemable douche, but also the guy Shanya spent years of her life living with and still constantly compares others to (albeit in the positive direction). It doesn't speak well for Shanya that she stayed with him for years, reinforcing that she's spineless or wanting to be able to complain about her choices and the victim status that comes with it.

All things considered, these points are relatively minor but still have a large impact on my enjoyment of this story. But there are still many things this AVN gets right.
- It's more of a slow burn, and the MC isn't immediately the center of everyone's universe.
- While the MC comes across as fairly passive or laissez-faire, he's accomplished and confident. He's not a creep or an insecure simp.
- Characters do feel like characters; they have their own interests and a genuine depth. But I'd like to see this play out more in group settings.
Everyone has their own wants, goals, and perspective. In group settings, these should interact. It's great that they all get along, but that doesn't mean they can't disagree or occasionally feel undermined by each other. - Tasha. She's my favorite character.
- The rotating logo indicating a self-progressing sequence
If anything, these sequences could be done more. There are a few that still require clicks. - Some tropes are subverted, like Roxxi being characterized as a prostitute, but it turning out she's more of a hostess.
But, be careful, because this also reeks of retconning. Players could pick up that her backstory gets changed retroactively because she needs to be pure for the harem. - The writing is generally enjoyable. There's a reference here and there that I don't get, but they're not too often and not a barrier.
- The occasional humor is done well. Banter remains lighthearted and fun, never veering into insults, also thanks to characters not taking themselves too seriously. The MC can take a joke, agrees and amplifies, and returns the jab.
- The ducks are fun and well hidden, but there are large portions of content without any hidden image, which can get tiring and frustrating for players who are looking for them. They need to be placed consistently.
- There is a considerable amount of content, though I suspect not enough lewd content for many fans of the genre.
Even though the writing failed to make me like Shanya as much as the MC does, I do think their scenes make sense and contribute to the story.
Her giving up her v-card feels fast, but from her perspective, she's been longing for it for months. - Good variety in body shapes and sizes. I'm not into the whole big ass/big tits genre, so these natural bodies are very welcome.
- Taylor x Kevin is surprisingly wholesome. I hope they get a happy ending and a nice sendoff, and this isn't just a setup so Kevin can betray Stuart and never be heard from again.

I definitely take your point on the durastion of Shayna and Stuart's relationship and all that went on there. That is something i may well revisit and make some alterations to.
There are a LOT of point there, and I won't address each of them individually as some of them are simply incorrect due to reasons you are as yet unaware of, and I'm not in the habit of giving away spoilers. Hope you understand.
The renders in chapters 1 and 2... eyah, still pretty bad (chapter 3 as well to be fair. The aim is to go back and give them a proper work over once i have wrapped up chapter 6 and have it published here..
