simple make two option you want to see this scene example yuri or you dont if you choose yes you see it if they click no make another scene vanilla so both parties can have fun do that whit the yuri and yaoi and everything is fine make it avoidable the scene dosent happened if you choose not you can put another vanilla scene here if you onle make it skippable it happens but you dont see it people will get mad make it if you choose dont i dosent happened end of the story
thanks for taking feedback a lot of devs ignore the feedbacks that people gives and the gets angry when the people dosent like his game glad you are not like that im going to try the game in the next updates i try to support you right now i cant i buy a car recently XD

Don't feel pressured to support financially. It's hard out there I completely understand the world economy is bad. To me the most important support is honest feedback. And that's part of the reason I decided to make a game. I noticed devs ignoring people and acting simi rude and not caring about their players, I wanted to do it differently.

I'm not going to sit here and claim I have all the answers but I will say if I make a mistake and I'm given fair feedback I will do what I can to make it right.

I do know I want to make a game that many different people can find characters they like not just the standard run of the mill harem player. I Wana make something different something someone hasn't seen or done before. That is important to me. Sometimes the writing may seem a bit basic we are trying to keep writing to the extent that anyone can pick up and play and understand what's going on. (If they are above 18)

Oki thanks for the feedback. So if I give prior notice that a certain thing is available for those who may like it however I don't force people to watch it. It should be fine? As long as it's not required for the MC to play the game? Thank you btw for your honest feedback. I want to make sure I make good choices so people enjoy the game.

Um... it seems like you haven't done much research before starting to make the game (no offence but that's not a good sign). What kind of audience are you making this game for... a straight harem game fan that likes NTR'esq scenes and gay porn? I don't think you will find many of those.

Every 'genre' of game has it's own fan base with it's own preferences. If you want to make gay porn make gay porn, but what's the point of adding it to a 'straight' game? If you want to make NTR do that, but what's the point of adding NTR'esq scenes in a harem genre where 99% of the fans dispise it? You seem to want to throw everything but the kitchen sink into this. From reading your posts it feels like it's going to be a bunch of random stuff.

Not if I have the foster mother doing something like masturbating. I was thinking of finding her some partners but if it's really that big of a dead I guess not. She was never intended to be a love interest of the MC....

and just like that the game is now pointless to me. if that was gonna be the case why make her so hot. should have had the MC be raised by a dude or a talking cat.

and yeah i agree if she was to ever have a scene with someone else then absolutely a turn off for harem fans. but not being able to pursue her is also a damn shame.

There will be you can ASK girls if they will wear different kinds and depending on the personality and/or heart level they may or may not wear them. However the MC will respect the girls choice.

Are you sure hes suppose to be a demon lord ? Not some hero of justice ?

What's with this abruptness? Things are moving on the plot side without the proper context or is it simply because of the bad English? Is this a translation? The dev needs to rework ASAP while its still this early.

Lastly, the only events in the game so far is the events with Jess and the catgirls? Including that one catgirl that is part of the MC household. Moreover, there's no way to earn money still?

Edit:
Now that I look on the thread, I also want to add various stuff on what this kind of audience wants. I'm not feeling up to it at the moment, but I'll be posting that later so I hope others can fill in. The basic summary of my stance is this, if there's a girl and you're not planning on making her a love interest/girlfriend/wife/etc. then don't ever show any sexual scenes related to her. Especially apparent not even glimpses of her being involved with other men/girls/whoever, everyone will just be angry because, while its technically not NTR but we'd hate the game anyway for that.

As for lesbian stuff, I'm fine with girls playing each other on threesomes, but never by themselves when the MC is not involved. To me, the girls in a harem are in it because of the MC, not because they want to pursue some polyamorous relationship. Its a polygamy with the MC, it means that the girls are devoted to the MC and when it comes to sex such lesbian playing here and there are fine inside of threesomes, 4P, 5P, etc. That kind of spice is fine, doing it behind the MCs back and them being eventually becoming bisexual, is not acceptable. They're doing it to satisfy their boyfriend not because the girls themselves are getting romantically involved with each other. Again, they're in the harem because of their love to the MC, it should and always remain that way. The girls themselves treat each other as sisters, best friends, etc. that are devoted to their boyfriend/husband.

I want to say more but this is it for now. Especially with the distinction with the NTR, lesbian and sharing stuff. Lastly, I agree with what the others said here, if you want to make a game focusing on NTR, go on then. We're not gonna play it but your doing something you like, or if you like a game that focuses on Yaoi or Yuri or sharing stuff then do it. But don't ever make the mistake of mixing and mashing up Vanilla genres with things like this, adding genres just because. Remember, this is a Visual Novel not your regular Hentai series. Those are upfront with what they already contain, if I don't like it I can just not watch it but you're still making your game, be upfront with what you want so you'd already know what to do and the audience's reaction to it.

1st. Check in the arcade that's how you make money in minigames we have 2 types of currency tickets and money. (there will be more fun ways to spend it in the future)
2nd. A lot will be explained with further quests I cant show more stuff because of spoilers information is intentionally withheld.
3. Nothing is set in stone however I am not going to completely bend the knee because of a few people however I do respect and have documented feedback.
4. I realize its not perfect and it is my first game I've done by myself (I did do prior work for some major VN such as Agent 17) However what I can promise you is it will improve starting with v0.2.0.
5. also one last thing there has been many other successful games in the harem genre of VN that have had this content and been oki. even been very successful.
Thank you for your time and feedback.

Edit: Forgot to mention the writing is edited and looked over by 3 different women I am american the females are both aussie and american. One was a school teacher the other a scientist and a otaku.

So giving it a little run. Only really played the beginning

First off $500 Sandwich.. yikes.. a loaf of bread where I live is like $3.50. I wouldnt pay that much for a sandwich or the other items on the list.
Pacing is just way off, it doesnt give much context of whats going on, the world and the school. Its suppose to be his first day, but he goes the school and mingles with people asif he knows thems? like hanging out at the pool. It just feels a mess with so limited story to set the begining

The MC, dont know hat hes suppose to be, but he gives off the vibe hes just a half demon (talk of his foster mother?) or some regular demon. He has no authority whats soever and gives up some happy go lucky vibe. How could you even consider this kid a Maou. So my quote eariler on asking girls to change panties'.. he doesnt even have the authority to do so and just asking random strangers to change them seems .... rude. Not that I myself care what panties they wear (im more of a "is it cute" guy) and I find theres really no point to it, by my standards.

Also needs to be pointed out.. yuri content between girls who will be MCS LIs is not NTR (had this talk been on a cultured website, they'd be rejoicing or meme"ing ). I just wish some of the users here had some common sense.

Thats just a short look at it. A preview review at most.

you are right the story does seem rushed we are withholding information. we are going for more a anime Maou then anything. think like that time i got reincarnated as a slime or the misfit of demon king academy. a lot of information will be explained in future quests and we will work towards improving our story as updates come out. the scene about the panties was basically trying to show that jess is a cinnamon roll tbh... that and we have a pantie fetish. (not sniffing or anything like that)

DemonLordPatrick · Jul 10, 2023

When I've played other games I've noticed a few things that I am actively working on doing differently.

They use one static image for a long list of dialogue.

They tend to have an extremely grindy quest system.

They tend to add a feature then wait months to grow or update it.

Every girl has exactly the same personality, body shape, dress sense and acts the same.

What I can reassure you on is I'm not planning on repeating these mistakes at all. That is what I'm promising you as a developer. I also plan on being very active in my community.

Hateitfuckit · Jul 10, 2023

Doesn't seems promising. A vanilla game but have mother who is not MC li (what the point of adding NPC girls in a porn game? Story building and blue balling?) and sharing and watching other people bang. (In a vanilla game? Make Ntr focus game dude). Yeah, developer gotta figure out shit before it became another drag. Plot is the most important shit but so are the types of kinks it going to include.

DemonLordPatrick · Jul 11, 2023

Um although one thing is am confused about is why your calling it a Vanilla genre when people are also asking for R*pe / Incest(not my cup of tea)... Those two are not vanilla.... Yuri on the other hand can be vanilla. Also I've worked on successful visual novels before this isn't my first rodeo in the indestry... Just my first time doing my own game..

DemonLordPatrick · Jul 11, 2023

Remember this the games still in the early stages ideals and viewpoints of people are ever changing. I'm going to do what best I can as time goes on. I am trying my best to make a fun game with cute animations and girls. I do hope people enjoy it.

Look-see · Jul 12, 2023

my only issue so far is the mom not being an option. (waste of a character design in my opinion.)

if incest is the problem then her being the family Maid could solve that even though at the moment she's just the family friend.

as for the grind. as long as we don't have to repeat anything more than 3 times i could care less.

Most minigames are pretty easy you can get on average 30-50 dollars each game. However if you compare my game..... Based on your reply I feel like you haven't played other games.

some games require you to grind 10-30 times just to get enough materials or stat points just to advance the story.

the reason i say 3 times is because there've been other games that dont make you grind so much and during those short grind gaps the grind scenes themselves change a bit. in my experience that's when i feel a game does it right. sure you have to grind but its not soul crushing.

there are other games that increase resources as part of the choices in the story.

for example MC walking down the street sees a trinket he can sell and has the option to pick it up or leave it alone.

pick it up: add money
leave it: no money.

There will bo no grinding at all for story content and extra content and repeatables will not be very Grindy.

seems pretty grindy to me, needing to grind 500 quid to buy something that only fills the heart up a tiny bit, (unless there are fav things the girls like that gets it up faster)
