Sad to read that you got too many complaints about your game. As you can't please everybody keep the game the way YOU want it to be played. Stop catering to single people trying to have YOUR game changed to their taste. If they do not like the way the game develops, those people just need to move on.

There's several common things that can cause one's hoopdee to seize up and be sent off to the graveyard. The transmission can make progressively nastier noises as the gears eat themselves and then seize up. The engine can make that distinctive tapping noise everyone has heard called "rod knock" which requires a major overhaul. Those evertually fail from metal fatigue and cause the engine to seize up. The better ones poke holes in the engine block causing dramatic bleed out of the vital bodily fluids onto the parking lot. Then there's the timing belt that can finally decide to snap itself. Pretty much everybody but a mechanic will not know that you should instantly turn off the engine. Being on the road at speed or continuing to attempt to restart just finishes the job of destroying the valves and everything else. Finally we have old fuel lines developing a leak and spraying gas all over a hot engine. Things don't go explody but you will have a good reason to have brought the marshbellows for your very own "car-be-que".

Any thoughts on how to write the scene with something realistic breaking inside the car. I wanted the MC to be able to look inside and see that it is either something that couldn't be repaired, or something he could never afford to have repaired.

I am clearly not very good at vehicles. I go out so little these days that my car battery keeps dying. I have to trickle charge it from the house.

It good work, but you might want to trim down the cast and options. Ten characters with Ten scenes each would be less work but the same amount of content of one hundred characters with one scene each. The relationship page is massive and there are categories under categories. While I applaud the ambition, I worry it could become overwhelming and slow development. You could even just take scenes form one character and move it to others to trim the roster.

In the end, its good work and ultimately if you enjoy a massive cast then keep with that as how enjoyable a project is has the largest effect on longevity and quality. Looking forward to the next release!

Congrats on the update, dev. Is the femdom content still only for feminization/sissificstion paths, or is there femdom content for MC who is staying male?

Just bumping this question for GlitchDoll. Thank you!

 

[Deleted member 4940590]

The different paths are really confusing

 

[Nachtvogel]

Why is my "Alpha" MC still beeing a pathetic bitch?

His thoughts after dropping Melissa off at uni:
" You look down at yourself and start to wonder, not for the first time, what a girl like Melissa sees in someone like you but before your thoughts turn to self pity, you decide that it is time to leave. "

I picked the muscle body and the 9 incher. Why is the MC still like this?

 

[Vertius]

What stats are required to tell Melissa about the type of porn I was watching?

 

[phupdup]

Continuity problem?

The suggestion is that MC should find Melissa in the Burning Angel Cafe, but the actual location is the Rise and Grind Cafe.

I mean, being jacked and having a huge dick doesn't automatically mean you will be a confident "chad". Confidence and self esteem don't really work like that. Some people just aren't naturally confident. The MC might be the type of person that isn't really sure of themselves early on in this game despite being physically attractive.

P.S - Not sure why I got a facepalm reaction. Is reality too confusing? Lmao

Right? Plus after a string of bad luck that lead to our protagonist to this situation, I'm not surprised they're feeling that way. The appearance and confidence stat gives some leeway like Vertius said but narratively they are in a rough spot. They recently got kicked out of their apartment, failed to obtain job and moved in with their friend's family who you got some emotional baggage with.

Now add that with the trash car we're driving around, everyone around you seemingly more successful, and its not surprising our MC in this situation, no matter how smart or attractive they are, is gonna get smacked with self doubt. While I have no doubts there will eventually be a Male Dom path (knowing how our author is spreading themselves thin), its going to take some time.

What stats are required to tell Melissa about the type of porn I was watching?

Also, if its for the slumber party scene, I believe you need a Confidence stat that is less than 3 but I'll have to double check. Not at my desktop to review the script but its a dense combination of scene, so if anyone could check. Feel free

I'm actually talking about the start of the game where you are driving her to university after being caught by her mom jerking it to porn. She asks what you were watching.

Thanks for taking the time to reply!

I started a new game and my MC fucked the stranger girl in the club, woke up next to Riley and then later fucked her too. Both times I got the message "You are fucking a girl's sweet pussy for the first time. +1 Fucked Pussy".

I really like the game but there's some obvious continuity errors which take time to iron out, I'm sure. But community is here to help you out.

There's just one thing that irks me every time, the grammar mistakes like:

"Your a dirty bitch Portia."

"I have made a lot of changes to the game, and their are a lot of different branches."


That being said, I love the amount of branching and the effort the dev puts into it. The dialogue runs smooth and the story is genuinely interesting. Multiple playthroughs are warranted. I also love the index of character reactions/relationship changes at the end of the page.
And finally, the UI is just amazing!

How

The different paths are really confusing

Does somebody have the explanation for different paths?
Also how do i get the slumber party?

Will rewrite the scene with this in mind. I am thinking instead of an over the top scene where the engine falls out, maybe it won't start and is leaking fluid.

It good work, but you might want to trim down the cast and options.

I am working on it. I uh... actually had half of them in the crush list, with dream sequences. I'ts trying to work out now who is and isn't important.

What stats are required to tell Melissa about the type of porn I was watching?

You always change the subject in the car. The option to tell her is unavailable.
It's mostly so that there are scenes like at the Slumber party where your fetish desires can splip out.

Continuity problem?

The suggestion is that MC should find Melissa in the Burning Angel Cafe, but the actual location is the Rise and Grind Cafe.

Thank you
I changed the name of the cafe after making the brochure. Thought I had fixed all the references.

How

Does somebody have the explanation for different paths?
Also how do i get the slumber party?

Slumber party is for the Female MC only at this point of the story, and you get there by leaving the shops at 17:00. You should see three options. "The Velvet Hotel", "The Rabbit Hole Hostel" and "The Winters Family Home". Choose "The Winters Family Home".

Really happy this game got an update!

The error at the top was fixed by the latest HotFix. See the first page. I screwed up the variable. I had it recording that your female virginity, was taken not male virginity.

Yeah my game is riddled with grammar mistakes. I am working to fix them, but its not always easy to catch them all.

Thank you ever so much for saying that.
I love hearing that people are enjoying it and can see the effort that has gone in. I had a comment come in this morning, that there are only 3 days of content. I have hundreds of pages of content, not one page is short, and no pages repeat.
Criticism I can take but comments that I am not doing enough, drag me down.

Btw the stat changes at the end of each page take so long, but they are some of the moments I love to work on. So great to hear you notice them as I was worried they go overlooked.

is day 3 still the end?

PieFlavor and Veritus
You made my day. Not for the defence of the game (Not that I don't really, really aprecite that), but for the understanding of the character. When I read the comment you are answering, I felt really low.
Knowing that you understood the character and situation, made my day. I honestly have a huge grin on my face.

 

[Miscellaneous NPC]

A critique I would have in regards to the MC's behavior in that scenario would be that it conflicts with the character if his confidence is really high, which has correlation to the attributes the first guy was complaining about, though it's true you can have those with low confidence. If the character does supposedly have high confidence and/or dominance, he likely wouldn't be as self-deprecating. That wouldn't mean he wouldn't be critical of himself, though his critiques would be why isn't he living up to his own expectations of himself, or his mindset.

The issue I imagine is it'd be more work to alter dialogue to account for such things, though it would add to the immersion.
