Just played V3 through and wanted to just say that your work is amazing. Really enjoyed how you set the scene with the prologue, and then shifting to a different game mechanic in the next.

Also appreciate the pace and details in each scene where you build the relationship between characters.

The game checks all the boxes I personally like and I'm really looking forward to your future updates :)

Great art and a very enjoyable game, found two types of grinds. Grind for 3x 100% event and another grind for the scenes.
First grind wasn't hard and was actually amusing, but lost interest in the second, too much for me.
A gallery unlock or hints in the UI would have made it better.

Got around to checking out the new sandbox stuff and I think it's great. This is exactly the type of sandbox I enjoy in an AVN honestly. Just filled with good events that I can tackle at my leisure. I like sandboxes in general, but the ones here often tend to be filled with meaningless bullshit and subpar writing. Glad that isn't the case with this one.

Time to let this thing cook and build up content. Looking forward to returning down the line.

So this goes from a pretty good VN to pretty boring sandbox with no working map and only the MC's house? Maybe I'll check back in another year or two when there's actually something to do in sandbox mode.

The art is top notch, and I'm looking forward to more.

There's one problem with the game right now though. There's no challenge. Without a challenge, there's no difference between this and a visual novel.

I'd suggest adding an antagonistic faction and some stat checks.

For example, add a religious/moral/angel faction in town that's trying to hunt down the demons. If you push characters too far without enough stats, you will alert the enemy. Alert them enough and they'll raid your home, take your cash, lower character love/corruption, etc.

It's a cool idea, but I'm unsure of how to integrate such a thing here. At least as of now.
Adding challenges to a porn game is a very thin line to walk on, at all turns.

That's as far as the update goes. You can collect your bounty with Greed and watch the Extras if you want to

It looks like a good game but, I must say, it took too long to get to the sandbox version. I was starting to get bored with less actions.

Patreon is too unreliable, with its constant policy changes banning creators & the need to patch everything they don't like away.
Doesn't mean it's an impossibility, but SubStar (+discord) have got nearly everything I need.

Hi CigarRex, it seems that the game cannot be saved properly after we enter the sandbox mode, any ideas?


Code: 
I'm sorry, but an uncaught exception occurred.

While running game code:
  File "renpy/common/00action_file.rpy", line 397, in __call__
    renpy.save(fn, extra_info=save_name)

Strange... Never heard of this error before.
How weird. Try checking it on a new save that skips the prologue.

What the hell...
This looks like a renpy thing, bc I can't fathom what's causing this.
Seems like the game is failing to load the sandbox UI for some eldritch reason.
