To be fair,
HopesGaming, I'm sure this is not the first time and won't be the last you, me or someone else keep having to repeat the lines: "Adult game isn't the same thing as porn game. And this site is for adult games and contents, not porn games specifically." This last 7 days alone I've already had to repeat it twice and now you have to say it once in the last 10-15 pages of the thread. People are still going to make that assumption for... reasons, and we're doomed to keep repeating the lines like a broken record.
Like seriously, the "About us" of the site has 0 mention of the word "porn". People just think "adult" = "porn" for some reasons...

I know, and it will always be the case. But I just have a 'bad' habit of wanting to reply to everything
Fair enough from a technical difference standpoint. Although in my own head at least and in the process of labeling it such there really wasn't much of perception difference tbh. Adult game. Porn game. Regardless what it's supposed to be fairly classified as here anything I do download is done with the same exact core intent behind it, like most others coming here to do similar I assume. Which again, don't get me totally wrong there either as I do respect the trying to be more about story then the other games out there, and which as I pointed out in that respect you are succeeding in spades.
But speaking of spades, at the end of day it also is what it is from my pov. For as much as you want to make it about the story, it's still the expectation of sex that is the driving force at the heart of your game and all it's lead characters. Since without that I think it is more then fair to say that you don't have a game a lot of those patrons are helping to pay for, much less one here that is sitting at those 200+ reviews if the expectation that they'll get their opportunity to at least have sex with their gal of choice wasn't there in the end.
So with my edit changing the porn game label to adult game, I still respectfully believe my review and from the intended perspective it was written holds up. I do sincerely apologize if my too casual use of the porn label did offend your efforts though.
Again, I didn't want to make you change your review or have to make you feel like you need to defend yourself.
Just wanted to clarify; Your review is based on what you wanted from the game instead of what the game is supposed to be.
"it's still the expectation of sex that is the driving force at the heart of your game" Absolutely not. Not even close and I wouldn't have gotten patrons and supporters if that was the case. Remember, your expectations are yours and other people's expectations are theirs. It's a dangerous territory to try to make your own views and expectations upon others.
"
Since without that, I think it is more than fair to say that you don't have a game a lot of those patrons are helping to pay for"
I don't believe that is fair to say at all. The overall consensus is that the story is what is the driven force and what they support the game for. Of course, the adult part is still something they look forward to.
"I do sincerely apologize if my too casual use of the porn label did offend your efforts though."
Not at all, just my dev biased mind that wanted to reply and clarify stuff, heh. Again, nothing wrong with your view or review.
Again, I am making an adult game. A game that focuses heavily on the story and where sex is not the main focus. The adult part involves nudity, the more sensual stuff such as fondling and kissing (porn usually do not consider this anything important). It can also be an update where there are almost none of those but where the adult consists of violence.
That will always be what I will make and what I will market it as. And also, using the reviews and comments as data, it is also what most people expect when downloading the game and hence they do not get disappointed.
Remember, the BJ scene got added this release. Prioer to this, there were nothing. And yet, many people still loved it.
