How good is ingame guidance in this game? Can it be easily done without using the walkthrough/guides?

Pretty easily, yeah, some people get suck in a few places, but not that many when there isn't a bug.

I only had one area where it was unclear how to get a particular scene. It's also pretty difficult to get locked into a route you didn't want. When things do split like that they're typically pretty clearly marked. It's also possible to use the highly visible cheat menu (found through the gallery) to change a few of the flags if you end up down a path you regret. It's also easy to cheat if you have any sort of mechanical problem with money or grades or such, although they're not really something you should have to be concerned with.

Ok, I finally organized a list of screenshots of typos + a bug I found through my gameplay:
You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.
It was on version 0.11.1, so these could've been fixed... But I'll leave them here in case the dev ever feels like ironing out these details.

I've always wondered, does the MC look handsome by Asian beauty standards or is he just supposed to look like a tit?

It is the default Illusion model. Almost every HS game uses it. You have to remember that most of the stuff people make for HS (and others) is for the girls, most people don't care about the men.

Devian, I always wanted to ask, you being a dev and all, Illusion could technically enforce copyright, right? They just don't in the Western world, is that correct? If that happens, do devs that use it have a backup plan?

Yeah, it's a fine line, since there is a strong argument for fair use, and since these devs are not selling their games, they are taking donations for their labor, it's usually not a problem.
A while back, the company that had the rights to sell one of the versions of HS in the west (FAKKU), tried to get money out of all of the devs making those games, but they only had distribution rights, not the art. Luckily, nothing ever came of it, but it caused a big scare around here. (Though, in this case, it is Play Home, not Honey Select).

So, while it is possible, it is very unlikely, as long as they stick to this business model. They could do something, if you try to sell the game on Steam or something, maybe, but we don't know yet. No one has really tested those waters yet.

Copyright works a lot different in Japan, so while some companies are still sticklers for that shit, most of them are pretty tolerant, about it, since the culture around doujinshi and fanart in general, is more loose, similar to our parody laws, under fair use. But Illusion started selling here directly on Steam and whatnot now, so time will tell...

I guess, worst case, they could go to Daz or something. :cautious:
