I like the game so far.
BUT, I think I'm at the point where I absolutely despise the "stairway to heaven" trope that many adult games (this one included) incorporate. Especially when it's done at the expense of actual logical interactions between people (see: the 3 scenes involving Claudia so far). I wish developers would realize that there are many others ways to make a sex scene with a certain character feel special, without having to subject the player/reader to the ridiculous leaps of logic that usually come with artificially prolonging said scene (Hand job today. Blowjob next week. Tit fuck next month, etc.).
With that said, I'll file this one away, and check back on it in a couple of years. Best of luck to the dev.

I scrapped sandbox a long time ago. The only time you'll be doing anything that's close to that is possible mini-game in the future where you have to gather evidence in a location or something like that, but money and stats are gone.Great start, good job. Waiting next update.
Imo focus on more scene and episode than gameplay stuff as searching object in 250 places and increase money or stat by repeating the same task.
That should have been fixed in the last hotfix. Can you remember what the file name was that you saw that was missing?
Unknown. Each episode is essentially an update that I've broken up into a manageable piece that I can release in a decent time frame.
Thanks for the feedback.
I would like to clarify that I'm not following a trope or a guideline of "Cockblock the player for X amount of updates." I'm simply trying to stay true to the characters and story. A meet and fuck type game would have been much easier to do, but it's not this project.

Still how many 20 something or even 16+ people do you know that practice a stairway to heaven when they are sexually active and would not either do the whole stairway in one or two evenings max if were comfortable to get intimate with their partner or if not comfortable enough for that would keep it as just kissing (not even talking enough women are not into things like bj's anyway and like to have some fun as well and a hj to a male I never did see a woman orgasm from yet)? Well I bet not more as a handfull.
It is not about milking, but the stairway progression is something you would expect maybe for early teens that are not sexually active yet and/or strict religious girls that want to stay virgin till married and well they did anal often enough when I was a lot younger. The trope itself is as unbelievable as they come, just as that people suddenly find out they are sexually attracted to their landlady or someone else if applicable at 20 yo and have not walked around with those feelings for last 7 years in that case.

I disagree that a meet and fuck type game is "easier" to do. A well written story can put a lot of enjoyable distance between the "meet" and eventual "fuck" of a character, without having to incorporate the (often nonsensical) "foreplay build-up" scenes that the stairway to heaven trope usually does. I can argue that the "meet and blowjob" type game is even easier to do than the "meet and fuck" one. For example, I'm sure that there are a couple of dozen people on this board that have been involved in a threesome. Now, I can't tell you whether everyone's experience was the same (or even similar); but I can tell you that no one's experience was like the "threesome" involving Claudia and Emma
. Two naked, horny, and drunk women practically drool at the sight of the MC's impressive member, only to be completely content with (and apparently satisfied by) foreplay; with the MC himself feeling lucky to have had such a awesome experience (even though it was actually pretty ridiculous ). Now, add in the fact that the whole "meet and foreplay" concept is also being applied to Sasha as well (despite the fact that story is written in a way that makes her feelings towards the MC very clear from the onset), and I'm sorry; but you have a stairway to heaven thing going. So I get that you're not intending to follow a trope, but that doesn't mean that you're not following a trope .Conversely, the character whose story arch I've enjoyed the most so far is Jeni, and it's entirely due to the fact that there have been no foreplay scenes involving her. It's much more organic. I basically said to myself, "yeah, OK, this is much more realistic. I can immerse myself in this."
But, going to a bar with an extremely attractive woman; having that extremely attractive woman tell me how horny she is and how much she's attracted to me; then having that extremely attractive woman take me home to her bedroom where I grope her in the shower and get a blowjob; then I go to bed feeling like I have accomplished something...
Not nearly as immersive...lol...
Hooking up on tinder on the first night and banging your best friend from child hood, or her mom, play out a bit differently.Still how many 20 something or even 16+ people do you know that practice a stairway to heaven when they are sexually active and would not either do the whole stairway in one or two evenings max if were comfortable to get intimate with their partner or if not comfortable enough for that would keep it as just kissing (not even talking enough women are not into things like bj's anyway and like to have some fun as well and a hj to a male I never did see a woman orgasm from yet)?

Thanks for the feedback. I learned a long time ago that you can't please everyone. In the beginning, I had people complain that things got sexual too quickly and now it's the adverse.
There are character motivations that you are not explicitly told that cause those three situations to play out the way they do. Claudia's should be self evident due to the age difference and that MC spent a lot of time there when he was young, which causes her to be indecisive on moving forward in such a way. Sasha may act like she's confident and headstrong, but she doubts herself and has a fear of abandonment, which leads her to be unsure of her decisions when interacting with MC. Jeni didn't have feelings for MC until the last couple of days, so it's more of a dating scenario.
In any case, thank you both for the feedback on the topic.

Well, they do less differently as you think they do and at 55 I have seen a lot of shit I never should have seen in the first place.
Now if your chars were 14 yo and virgin sure. At 20 and sexually active, nope. Even in the situation you mention or a past were things happened that should not have with those women or the guy in question it is either sex or no sex at all. Just in those cases it will be mainly no sex at all if they reach 20 yo or older without anything happening long before and the intimacy and trust might be very hard to reach in those cases, but you will not get a bj first either to tide you over. A stairway is completely unlikely though over weeks or months, just in same night all those things might happen together.
Tinder just makes it more likely that things may happen on a first date , since both parties are looking for sex, but after 42 years of dating the times I ran into a stairway to heaven over a number of dates after I passed 17 yo were zero and the experience of most of my male and female friends as far as I am aware of it since some do not talk about it is roughly the same. Now there were enough times that it took a while and a few dates before there was sex even when there was enough attraction and sometimes that spark was not there and sex never happened even if their was some liking and compatibility, no sympathy hj or bj's though in that case or an assjob just cold showers until those women felt comfortable to get intimate and I can tell you that the amount of bj's and hj's I got counted together in my life are at best 50% of the times I had intercourse, likely a lot lower even and def not separately besides one or two ex GF's that liked giving them.

Its hard to put a fast sex scene without feeling rushed. The best methods are being in a established relationship, or casual sex with a side girl.
Otherwise, you would need to resort to the "slut" character or the story would feel rushed
I think the pace is right so far

Now the Sasha thing does make sense, and I can actually see that character development present in the story to a small extent.
But, what you're saying about Claudia though, simply does not exist in the story. If it does it is either A) being conveyed to the reader/player very poorly, or B) I'm a dumbass and it's going over my head (very possible
). So she's comfortable going to 3rd base with the MC three times within days of him arriving, and the very first time she was comfortable enough to share him with her friend. She's comfortable being pretty open about her feelings sexually with the MC, and has been form the onset of the game. Yet, she's self conscience about the age difference, and THAT'S what's delaying the inevitable. I'm sorry, but that's the type of Olympic level mental gymnastics that makes the stairway to heaven trope so annoying. The age apprehension thing would make complete sense from a story stand point if Claudia had NO scenes up to this point. But based on the how the story has gone so far, you what the reader/player to believe that Claudia's thought process basically boils down to:"He grown into such a fine young man."
"He knows that I have feelings for him because Emma told him that I talk about he all the time."
"Just in case he doesn't know, I'll just tell him anyway."
"I've caught him checking me out a few times, and I've made it clear to him that I like it."
"But...I don't know. The age difference thing might be weird."
"I'll just give him blowjobs, and let him fuck my tits, until I figure out if I want to go further. Even though I want to go further."
I know women can be all over the place, but COME ON...
And thank you for actually being receptive to feedback!
Women can be all over the place, ESPECIALLY after they've just gotten out of a 20 year long bad relationship...I know women can be all over the place, but COME ON...
