Saw the good reviews and was seriously thinking about trying this, but then saw where a restart is required so that is a bad sign for the future and I must skip this game.
I understand and I was hesitant to do that for this very reason, because of how it might look to some.
My first release had some minor issues here and there and was missing one variable from the prologue that could have been fixed with a question at the first of the new release asking "In the prior game did you choose to do X?" However my testers all agreed that it would be best, since this was only the second release, to go ahead and do a complete fix and put the variable in instead of resolving it with a question. If you are a first time player this shouldn't effect you at all.
I started in this industry as a writer for other games. I then moved into learning Daz, and I am still learning to code. I am receiving tutelage and help from a few other game developers to help me to continually improve. The Coder Probably feels like I keep him on speed dial. Royal Candy is always there to help me when I hit a road block. And Sancho has been invaluable in his knowledge and patience while helping me with the coding. I am so blessed to have him in my corner backing me up!
If you are looking for a game that is completely perfect across the board and never has a single glitch, well, I would say stick with Xbox or PlayStation, but even still some of them have glitches from time to time...
If you want a mindless wank-fest, then yeah, this isn't for you.
But, if you're looking a story centric AVN with characters that are both funny and endearing as well as writing that you can really get drawn into... go ahead check out UC8.
As for the coding issues. I will only get better!
