The game is a visual delight like few others, and the comic format suits it wonderfully.
However, I think it doesn't make the most of that advantage. For example, in the sexual scenes, it could use pop-up vignettes overlapping the main image to show certain sexual movements, something similar to what the animated Spiderman movie of Miles Morales does and that would distance it from the handicap that Rogue Like has by eliminating the "cut transparent doll" effect of the man when they touch or lick each other's body parts, showing other angles of view in that vignette to better show that action in a more believable and sensual way.
I don't see myself able to show an example image, but I hope you get my idea.
On the other hand, I think the "outfits" screen should open on main screen itself and not be a separate screen, like Rogue Like does. It's a personal opinion but it seems to me that it breaks the continuity somewhat.
Otherwise, the game is a marvel, although I miss concepts like catching the girls changing or showering, something that I hope will be added later.

A great update, but I feel it is a bit rushed. Would have personally been totally ok for another month or two of development to add clothes and get rid of lags(maybe it is just my potato laptop, but the game seems to work pretty slow). Thanks for your work, can't wait to see what is next

Some thoughts from someone who hasn't read through 200 pages worth of comments and therefor might be repeating things:
It's been said, but yes, text-skipping would be nice. Until then I recommend X-mousebutton control for a rapid left click macro.
Grind: Honestly It's not the /grind/ that's bad. It's the lack of things in-between. Adding in a bunch of super small events would help a lot, as well as more varied interactions other than the current repetitive: Flirt, study, train, sleep.
A bit better 'tutorial' would be nice, or rather, the information already contained in the database should come up the first time you interact with the thing.
Personally, I'm also not a particular fan of the way progression works right now.
First, being forced, basically, into the 'harem' route. Not that I mind Harem in general. But in order to progress you're forced to basically date every girl, even ones you don't care about.
Then, i'm not entirely a fan of being forced to progress the story in order to further the relationship. I understand why it's a thing, and it's not necesarrily a deal-breaker, but it makes it difficult to really play the game at your own pace.
Honestly. it makes it so I wouldn't /really/ call it a 'sandbox'.
Everything else is super minor oddities. I like the phone, but it's a bit clunky. I think it would be nice to also show character icons on the map itself instead of just a list to the right.
I personally think it would be nice to have money on the HUD. The first time I went on a date I realized I had no idea how much money I actually had before starting it.
The wardrobe shame mechanics are a bit weird. I understand it, but you also have cases where you're experimenting and then she throws a fit because she won't show her tits.
Also the shame for wearing a swimsuit is like 700, when the limit for it is way lower. So it's kinda weird she'll wear it naturally?
Also finally, personally, I'd love to see a slight art difference when a wardrobe set doesn't include underwear (Nipples protruding a bit ect)
Anyways, the game is honestly amazing. I'm definitely hoping to see more.

I haven't finished the update content yet but I just wanted to mention that the art is improved everywhere that I saw changes, especially at the beginning when I saw Storm. In the first demo when I saw her I went "Okay, so that's the artist's interpretation, I can roll with this" but in this version the moment I saw her I went "That's Storm."
One bug I noticed was that while dating both Jean and Rogue, I had left Rogue in my room after a conversation and went to give Jean a gift in the classroom. I'm positive I clicked Jean and not any other nearby characters and gave her the gift, but the message text was Rogue responding with thanks and having her love stat increase. I guess Jean was telekinetically sending the gift down the hallway to Rogue instead, such a sweetheart
Edit: I just remembered a couple things,
1: Could there be or are there plans for a dialogue option with Kurt in early chapters to say something like "It's always good to see you, Kurt" or "Kurt, you've been a great friend, I just wanted to thank you" or "Kurt. You're awesome." something along those lines because most of the time Null is just asking Kurt for advice or information. He's been super kind I just don't like the feeling that we're always taking from the guy.
2: After the Sentinels attack it was mentioned there were some actual deaths of mutants, are there any plans for something like an event with a funeral or memorial, some kind of mourning because while I realize I'm still playing a demo Xavier and the phone social media just seems to kind of gloss over the fact. Presumably some of those that died had been background classmates of Null and the others, it felt a little jarring.

1) Yes, this is something that needs expanded on. There are already plans to expand the interactions with the X-Bros and that will be the perfect time to make sure that Kurt is getting a little more acknowledgement for how much he helps Null throughout the game.
Edit: PS - I made sure to mention the specific nature of interactions in the suggestions section over on the Discord. I think its a great idea.
2) After the Sentinel scene, you've been in effectively a coma for six weeks. Google tells me that most funerals are held at a week or two after the person died. Even twice that would still place it well before Null was up and about again. There may be some ways to expand on this, but from everyone but Null's perspective there has been at least some time for the memorial and a bit of adjustment.

I totally forgot that aspect, how long Null was out. That's actually rougher than I first thought, he gets hit with that on waking with the memory still fresh while everyone else already had some time to cope. There would understandably have been individual funerals at different locations but I wondered if Xavier or some other faculty might have considered some type of memorial/monument at the institute with names listed to honor them somehow, there's of course going to be more names added in the future. Seeing that some of Null's possible actions helped that girl to escape, it occurred to me that it would be a cool way to introduce/retcon one of the future female cast members as the girl he helped save(or a friend of that girl) as a pleasant surprise. An "I'm glad to see you made it out of there" introduction starting on a positive note.

All this needs is a cuddle option when you are with LI in the room and also the cuddle art when they spend the night.

That's the end for nowlove thsi game so far but is it over after the summer missions or am i stuck again ?
1. The relationships are building over a year. As a unapologetic Rogue Like speedrunner, we intentionally made the relationships rely on building an actual connection. However, I will say that not all relationships will follow the same formula. As an example already in the game. Jean is willing to have sex with you one season earlier than Rogue and Laura. Other girls may be willing to have sex with you the first season you meet them. It all depends on the character. We just started with really vanilla characters by sheer coincidence.1) relationships grind is way too slow
2) side story missions hard to trigger and require many time skips
3) buttplugs progression literally pain in the ass, for player
maybe they needs to be expanded to full scenes with daily checking if girl wearing any.
4) outfits system could use some work now its unclear how to select clothes for different situations
5) girls dosen't comment on pubic hair styles in wardrobe
6) pubic hair styles looks way to similar between girls, its reasonable to have belly strip for fiesty Laura, but not for Jean
7) remote vibrator is cool idea, sadly not properly implemented yet
8) more slots for quick locations
9) massive ui slowdown with 2-3 girls in same room
2. This is by design. I can see about getting the coders to tweak the RNG because I hate low % RNG more than NTR. Though we don't want you to zoom through the content in the first season.
3. We can look into this.
4. I thought we added tool tips.
5. Probably an oversight. I'll bring it up with the team.
6. This is subjective but I'll still bring it up.
7. We're experimenting with this to see what feels the best.
8. If it doesn't take away from more important features I'll poke the team to consider it.
9. This seems to vary between user. We're always optimizing but I can't promise perfection.
I thank you for your understanding. Maybe some day things can change a bit and I know that there are multiple people who plan on modding the fuck out of the game once we add the chapter 1 finale.
I'll look into getting a walkthrough or something but play the game guys. This is in fact a video game and we've had Nightcrawler and the girls explain things in details that are borderline fourthwall breaking.Please explain. The tasks include bringing the relationship with Rogue to 275. Right now it's about 250. What should I do?
Just please people, play the game. Not everything is a bug.
My bad. I thought we already had that in. But yes we are always looking into accessibility options. I have minor epilepsy so that's why the flashing lights are optional. We're also planning on making color blind options for some of the UI. However, the core game is currently our focus.
This is in the works my dude. There's so many cool work arounds we can do with comic panels. It's one of the things I never shut up about in dev chat.
One I'm looking forward to us adding is a panel showing a girl fingering herself while the player is getting a blowjob. Saves on art budget, matches the game's aesthetic, and would look less awkward than contorting the sprite.
We're doing our best!
Yeah that's currently one of my biggest complaints with the game. I won't bash Oni for making creative decisions he feels is best for his game but I do think using comic Laura and comic Jubilee was a mistake.
It's probably the potato laptop. Though as I said above, we're always working on optimization.
Nightcrawler and the other characters explain in intricate detail how things work. We've also added tool tips. We even added a fourth wall breaking confirmation for locking in quirks. My dude, are you playing the game or just skipping through text hoping it gets you sex faster?
You're not forced into the harem route. 0.3 added the option to put things on hold and all content can be completed platonically. Things will just lack a romantic undertone.
It's a narrative focused game my dude. I don't know what else to tell you.
We're working on it. Some people are fine with it, some aren't. We're trying to find a nice middle ground that won't take away too much time from the core game.
This was specifically removed because once we start adding more characters the icons would begin to spill out and clutter the map. It's better this way.
Also simply making the map bigger would add lag for some people and look weird on smaller screens.
I thought this was added in 0.3. I'll bring it up with the team.
Yeah. Shame was added for a more "realistic" approach. I'm personally not the biggest fan but trust me that we are doing our best to make it function properly.
This is actively being considered with the clothing art updates.
We have been discussing the idea of "bro dates." Stuff like going to the bar with Logan, playing videogames with Kurt, etc.
I'm plagiarizing this.
I've mentioned it before but it's something I will never get tired of repeating. This is 100% planned.
As a general reminder, not to anyone specific above, the girls in this game aren't fuck dolls. They have their own agency and will not bend to your will. If you don't want to respect their boundaries, wait until a girl who's more willing to jump in the sack to be added to the game. If you're impatient for that, please go play Oni's game. We are not a replacement. If you're here just for the sex and nothing else, then this isn't the game for you.
