Wow, so much bitching and complaining about a really good game w/great models/renders and solid animations and so much potential? Feels kind of like dudes are just piling on to be piling on? How about some of you whiners bend your myopic perspectives and roll w/it for a change? It's a fap game w/hot chicks FFS. Don't overthink it.
First, to the "Isabella is the town bike" crowd. Did it ever occur beyond your closed perspectives that A) Isabella and MC are close enough as long-time friends, former lovers, and business partners that they share literally "everything"? Maybe you've never had a relationship like that before? I have and to be honest, it was pretty cool and NOT a negative. Or B) Perhaps Isa is trying her hand at the oldest female trick in the book by attempting to make MC jealous? Did she REALLY bang a bunch of dudes or is it a ploy? Spoiler alert...if its A, fine. If its B, guess what...IT WORKED!
Second, to the "Screw Brooke bcuz she's an escort/whore/prostitute" crowd. She starting escorting in college, made mad bank, wants to keep making mad bank while she's pursuing a legit career...A CAREER THAT FOR NOW LIKELY DOESN'T OFFER THE SAME (and likely tax-free) MAD BANK. As someone already said, EVERYBODY has a history and she can still be a sympathetic character even though hers is an unconventional path to reaching her goals and dreams. Maybe she's an orphan, maybe she grew up in a broken home, maybe she had an abusive father and had to runaway and make it on her own. She's clearly directing her intellectual pursuits in one direction while paying her bills w/another. So not your cookie-cutter story arc but there's still a noble end game imo. Another 180-degree perspective is why wouldn't MC take on this conquest as an alpha-male challenge (same w/Isabelle btw)? Ok, so you've been w/a bunch of men, let me show you who THE MAN is...and BOOM! Based on her bedroom dialogue, he clearly made an impression and passed the first test with flying colors so GAME ON!
Third, just a mild observation here. If your takeaways from ANY adult game is "(in whiny annoying voice) this is just a game of sexy whores and sluts and easy women presented in the form of beautiful models and renders getting banged" and YOU'RE UNHAPPY ABOUT IT...perhaps YOU are the problem and adult games aren't for you.![]()
Thank you so much for the kind words about my VN!! I was starting to wonder if anyone liked it...
I'll address some of the issues that people have brought up, as I think they are valid. I've gotten really positive feedback from my wife and two testers, and also from other online channels, so this response has somewhat blindsided me.
To reward your kindness, here is a sneak peek render from Chapter 3 which gives away no plot. This is clearly a continuation of where Chapter 2 ended. Thanks again!

The game has zero appeal. because the characters are just not appealing; that's just the reality.Which is why I wanted to counter some of this piling on nonsense. And people wonder why good, promising games get abandoned? And thank you for the sneak peak render. See what a little positivity brings fellow forum members? I do find it hysterical that one memberyour post while

...no thanks needed, you're welcome!
Unfortunately this has become an all-too-common theme of this forum. I see it over and over and while some comments, even negative, can be valid, a lot of what I've seen is just plain whining for whining's sake while positive commenters remain silent. You've even seen it on this thread. Not only do people drone on about things like NTR (or even the HINT of NTR), loose LIs, morality disagreements, etc., NOW you have people WARNING devs about avoiding certain future content to which I say if you think this game is so bad, GO MAKE YOUR OWN F'ING GAME!
As with any early release(s), there is always room for improvement but your game is very good dev. Your hard work is appreciated. Your creativity and technical ability are solid and I look forward to this game's progression. Keep up the good work!
The developer can try to downplay it or rationalize it, but it doesn't change anything. People don't like the characters, so they don't play and support the game, simple as that.
