As you said, this site has rules. 5-star or 1-star doesn't matter.
Oh, yes... The rules. You are probably going around and checking all the reviews to see if they're up to F95 standard, right? Because I sure as hell have seen two-sentence long reviews in almost every game thread and nobody is removing them. I guess they don't have a saint so nicely taking care of them.

I tried the game again today, and there are improvements. However, the grammar resulting from the translation still needs work.

Also, Elasstommer 's review is not very informative to prospective players. (see Kal995 review) If they like the game and want it to succeed, they should write a proper review, not an atta boy review.

I do wish this game success, keep at it, fellas.
Never saw more hypocrisy in one post.

sounds and looks very familiar :unsure:
is this a remake?
pretty sure i've seen this 3 or 4 years ago lol
Unless I'm senile, I'm pretty sure I never made a game in my life. I never even touched DAZ or RenPy as a creator before the last year.
Is Willowtown down the road from Blackmore?
I don't think we have a gender-bending or femdom so they'ew probably on neighbouring islands.

Unsure given the two people modifying the download links, however, the Mediafire one points to a 1.8 version, which I assumed was wtypo and saupposed to be 1.18
Well, in fact, it should be 1.8, but on F95 and everywhere people keep writing 1.18, so...¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Missing tag: "male protagonist".
I see it among tags, so I'm not sure if it's a misunderstanding or if it wasn't there before.:unsure:
I was about to tag bob69 and ask them to add it, but seems there's no need.

Ahh, I think they're talking in the main tags, not the genre section, it has male domination not male protagonist, which I did actually mention to them once so idk.

I don't really feel like handling the page, especially with my recent data cap on my internet and i've already reported it, but feel free if you think its important enough to add it to that area. We don't get much more special attention than anyone else in that regard, believe it or not, and I don't feel like hounding them to death. They do alot for us dev's voluntarily ;)

I knew I was missing something, but I thought it was Poe related....I can see how that avoided my radar :ROFLMAO:

It's meant to be 1.8, but starting at Episode 2 and above we decided to use something more along the lines of what other sites keep putting there...not because of the sites, but because we don't want to end up with a version 102.8 later on down the line :LOL:

After the next release you can expect more along the lines of 2.01. Our versions kept creeping up as we passed the first few chapters back and forth for corrections...now with a translator working with us as well it was bound to get out of hand.

I felt like being funny and putting a youtube video for 'Eminem - Without me' (or houdini), but it just won't let me put a link here no matter which channel it's from :ROFLMAO:

Then, looking more closely at the game thread, I guess I would ask why Bob is the owner of your game thread; after all, that would give you full control over the thread title (which read 1.18) dev notes, and changelists etc.

We didn't want to take over the game thread. There are some practical advantages for us as developers.

Bob is doing a better job than we would, he's also managing likely hundreds of them if how many I've came across personally is any indication, right along with other uploaders. Hell, he even helped me with my first macOS build or it likely wouldn't have worked, and he's in the credit's (about-->thanks) for everything he has done--particularly that.

Seeing as how the page title says 1.18 and the version is technically 1.80...i'm having trouble discerning where you found this to be an issue at all? That would mean the release is newer :LOL:

I'm many things, lazy and ungrateful isn't among them...well, lazy about computers at least :LOL: I had actually offered to upload for the site myself before I shut off my internet for personal reasons. If it wasn't in our potentially best interest to leave the page in his care, I wouldn't have done so.

damn

There are more dev posts on one page than in most other topics at all

dafuq :ROFLMAO:
Yeah, that should be a big red flag about the game's popularity. These two "devs" are suss your sure.:unsure:

The game is low in quality, and the devs' antics on the game's post are sinking their ship.:FacePalm:

The only thing suss around here is you. Whats your beef with us?

It's a big red flag and we're suspect because we CARE about our game? That's hilarious.

As Dev already mentioned, there are harems but you can't have all the girls. Which girls will be part of it, depends on the main story path you choose and accepted/rejected relationships.

Girl-on-girl action - maybe between the supporting cast, but there will be threesomes with the main girls. All scenes are pretty much straightforward choices and you can easily accept or reject them by using a build-in walkthrough.
so to clarify on the girl on girl stuff the only way to avoid would be to reject threesome and there would not be variations of the threesome where we could choose if it happens or not?

Just finished & I enjoyed it a lot. Great stuff guys.
Thank you....love the name btw.

I won't answer for LoVNCraft but they might have doomed themselves to the type of scenario your suggesting (assuming you mean to choose either of the two girls or both) because they have the code setup to let the player end certain character paths...which ones and if it would affect the threesome scene only they can answer, I'm just going by the code aspect and the comment you quoted.
main story path you choose and accepted/rejected relationships
Lov likes switching up the scene variety based on player choices, so if you ended one of the paths I can't see him showing the exact same scene in any scenario...even if it led to the same animation. That's entirely their choice--I never interfere with their story plans beyond suggestions and I'm not the one staring at DAZ all day long :LOL:

As this is a "story-first" type of AVN, you'll learn things about the girls - who is straight, who is bi etc. - and based on those things, you'll know what kind of potential threesome you can expect.
And skipping sex scenes (if there is such an option at a certain scene) won't influence paths. Accepting or rejecting a girl will be based on accepting or rejecting the idea of dating a particular girl.

The latest info can be found below (all public)


(Patreon specific info included)



The low down:
  • New gallery /w character bios being implemented next release.
  • Achievemtnes should be fully included by then too, likely for both versions, change of plans there.
  • Test run for a 4k UI with upscaled renders for the S.E. version planned down the road (entire UI with the font options is gonna take time to do right)
  • ....and I've been learning DAZ--god only knows what that might conjure up, since what I create in testing will never be included in Lov's story.

You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.
It had music added but youtube copyright blocked me, maybe next time :LOL:

Catch you on the flipside.
