0.02 focus was on Isabel and her introduction, A bit of Gracie and a single story section (short one)
Due to that 0.03 is mainly focused on the story and the love progress of Luna which is a female that has a bit harder time to show her feminine side.

The identity of the game is a story based game. In which the action and funny stuff have more content due to the game is still in the opening stage of getting to know the females. Once the female start to get to the point of real intimacy with the MC the ratio will be different in which all updates have a good ratio of sexual activities. But not at that stage yet. With that said, the story IS the content as much as the adult is. Hence a story based game. If the story is not for someone's liking (which is normal as we all have different taste), then the rest of the game becomes lackluster since the focus will be on something that has not reached a point which will have the same ratio as the story content.

My recommendation is to shelve the game for some months and come back when the ratio starts to even out.

On another note:
Proofread is done. Just going through the last part. Hopefully, the game will be up today. (Hopefully...)

If sounds like you're saying you want this to be an adult game but that the adult stuff will come in at the end. Which means 80-90% of it is going to be story, romance and action. You already have fans who love your story and hopefully will support you till its concluded. But, don't you want to win over people on the fence?

Imagine someone trying this game after 0.06. They'll have to go through 2 hours of story and grind before they get to any adult content. I don't think its that unreasonable to want a balance between erotic scenes and story early on, if you've classified it as an adult game. It's usually a writing block where writers can't think past the first sexual encounter. They believe it breaks all sexual tension, which isn't true at all if written well. Even if you pick up a soft erotica title that's targeted at the female market (who supposedly prefer longer build-ups and romance), say an Anne Rice book, you've got more erotic content and build-up there in the first quarter than this game has.

Anyhow, it's good to hear the focus of 0.03 is on the love stuff.

This is an adult game in that it is a story for adults that will eventually have sex in it, not a porno.

Here's my crunched version.

Lossy compression (means image/audio/video quality is reduced to make shit smaller) is used. You've been warned so no bitching.

Excellent, was eagerly waiting for this update, can't wait to see how things go with Luna, although my favorite girl still is Isabel, her and MC's scene where they kissed was endearing and tender and affectionate, hoping for a very nice romance to develop between them, more so than with any other girl, but definitely not saying no to other ladies in the story, they all appeal to me in their own way <3

I have never seen here a game whith better dressed women. Maybe you can think It's simple, but Things like earrings... Wow!! Necklaces.... Amazing!! (Sarcasm mode off) Are very rarely to find in this games (I'm talking about girls/female characters wearing those assets not Talking about "items").

Why? If he has a solid fan base for his creation, why put in some porno scenes just to appease the instant fap crowd? It's not a porno. Putting in extra sex scenes to win over one crowd, will simply put off another. you can't please everyone. Remeber the most popular books are rarely the best books, as they have to hit the lowest common denominator to please the masses. This is why harry Potter is so popular. It's not exactly quality writing or original story, it just does something to appeal to as many people as possible. There's much better books out there from a literary point of view, everyone can agree on that. The best literature will never be popular to the masses.

Yes they will. If they are that blue balled they can just fap to some porn then come back and appreciate a really good ault VN. If they don't like this one then there's a billion other games written by pubecant incels out there with all the CG porn they require.
