Uh, WVM literally gives you the option to have trans character into a binary choice. LOL.
Not sure you're talking about.Anyway, no harem
why do this devs? You gonna make me choose between all these lovely characters??? I guess it "subverted expectations" like Game of Thrones season 8. Couldn't just give us the pleasure.View attachment game-of-thrones-creators-david-benioff-db-weiss-star-wars-exit.webp

I don't think the problem is the lack of harem but people getting accustomed to having all the girls in this game, and since this game has many many girls it makes it difficult to choose 1 or 2.
Whether is laziness to have to play multiple routes for each girl or indecisiveness because they find it difficult to choose, you can't really blame people for being upset or a bit down about all this.
Hopefully Cheeky allows us this type of thing in his next game, or at least warn us since the start.

I don't normally complain about the writing. But when the whole game builds up to harem and suddenly pulls it away.... It's like wow, wtf ok. Thanks? I guess i'll just "enjoy" the sudden change?I don't think the problem is the lack of harem but people getting accustomed to having all the girls in this game, and since this game has many many girls it makes it difficult to choose 1 or 2.

Is not a sudden change, it was just an error in tags around that time because Cheeky never was asked about harem in the past, it wasn't until way in later eps that someone asked and he said there won't be any harem.I don't normally complain about the writing.

What we took for granted is not the dev's faults, is like they say... you can't get a proper answer if you don't ask a proper question.
The fault is ultimately us.
In any case, I love this game and that is not something that won't keep me from playing, as weird it sounds the most I enjoy about this game is the writing, the jokes, and the bickering

Fair enough. I'm obviously not the developer. LOL. Can't fault them for what i wanted to see. But damn, i just wish it could have ended with Kate, Jenna, Lily, Debbie, Monica, Jolina, Angel, Wanda and all the other girls with me living happily ever after. But i guess it went CW modeIs not a sudden change, it was just an error in tags around that time because Cheeky never was asked about harem in the past, it wasn't until way in later eps that someone asked and he said there won't be any harem.

It was never a harem game, the devs said that.I don't normally complain about the writing. But when the whole game builds up to harem and suddenly pulls it away.... It's like wow, wtf ok. Thanks? I guess i'll just "enjoy" the sudden change?
They let you choose who to date but the story and the girls told you you were never going to get all of them.
The fact is you ignored everything the game told you and ignored all the warnings. That's on you.
There was never a harem tag and Cheeky has said since 2018 that he doesn't see this having a full harem.

For me personally, it's the lack of clarity on what paths are actually available to pursue. For example, in the past there were some people who would swear their lives that we couldn't pursue anyone else if we're pursuing Katie, but then the foursome scene was created. The lack of clarity of what's ok and not completely made me hesitant to pick a route, so it's easier to just pursue everyone and watch the world burn if it comes down to it.I don't think the problem is the lack of harem but people getting accustomed to having all the girls in this game, and since this game has many many girls it makes it difficult to choose 1 or 2.

It doesn't help either that the plot is dragged for so long that we still don't know whether some girls are good/bad 4 years after the release (and it's very likely that we still won't know for another year or two from now). This further turns me off from getting too invested in the relationship with some girls because there's a risk of them being the villain.
In hindsight, I really wish this game has less characters because the game really wanted to focus on the inheritance plot but minor characters really distracted from the plot progression because they are irrelevant to it. Alternately, it could've dropped the inheritance plot and replace with a more generic story that would suit the large cast.

If you play the game to the last chapter, you end up with just one conclusion....Fair enough. I'm obviously not the developer. LOL. Can't fault them for what i wanted to see. But damn, i just wish it could have ended with Kate, Jenna, Lily, Debbie, Monica, Jolina, Angel, Wanda and all the other girls with me living happily ever after. But i guess it went CW mode
the game sets the player to get attached to many girls, to mistrust some of them because of the "will" testament/money, if we could somehow have all-girls there won't be any plot left and no conflict whatsoever xD
Skylaroo from a plot standpoint it won't make any sense to have all girls, it won't make sense if there were less girls either because then you may be able to know easily who can be the traitor etc
Irrelevant for you maybe, I prefer to have them, I like Angel a lot for example, different players different Li's they like, there is many games where side girls may get more fanbase than the main girls, which is not something the devs or anyone else can call "irrelevant", I get you are saying irrelevant to the plot but then again some of those girls are what keeps us interested in many games.

I didn't expect harem. I just wanted clarity on what we can/not do in the game so I don't waste my time pursuing something that we can't, or completely missing something that we can.
Why wouldn't it make sense to have less girls? Minor characters like Natasha, Mabel, Angel, etc are basically irrelevant to the inheritance plot line.

If you play a game during development and you fund a game to be a beta tester (a concept I still have strong mixed feelings over) you're going to run into problems/complaints such as those being posted in this thread.
I'd advise, after having a bit of time to look over this environment and think about it, to just wait until the game is out and done. Pay for it then if it looks like something you want to play. In the meantime, just play other games.
I don't advise paying for the privilege of being a beta tester, which has become more of a problem in the industry both small and Triple AAA (looking at you Cyberpunk). As much as possible, make a dev earn your dollars and get what you want.
That said, I don't mind if a dev posts a game (such as here) and asks for feedback. I'll test out the game and tell them what I do and don't like.
If you ARE going to pay to be a beta tester, just go into it knowing you're putting your money into something that may turn out to not be the product you want. Something you wouldn't have spent money on for the finished product. If you're cool with that, then more power to ya.

I am LOL about the "pic-i-nic basket" and channeling back to my youth. You are really channeling your age here. I'll leave the reference out for the young'ins.
It's always perplexing to me when porn devs go to the trouble of doing the art work, the writing, and coding for sex scenes/routes but then don't include a "harem" route where the user can just encounter the dev's hard work all in one playthrough. Just feels like a waste of time to work on stuff that a segment of your userbase may never play through just because they got funneled into specific routes.

You may as well just play kinetic novels then. No point adding choices if they don't go anywhere.
Devs aren't making these to showcase porn scenes, they are making adult games with stories.

Well... the issues are much deeper than your binary options. This game went season 8 Game of Thrones on us
this is not the story we've been playing. I don't know if the writers changed or what, but this feels like a different game. We were once romancing all these women and following their stories, but now we're faced at every moment with the hard to choice to abandon them or make them our sole interest??
Porn game or not, i'm confused. I guess the devs didn't want a pleasurable ending, that's their choice, but don't pretend like it's a great "story"

The fact is you ignored everything the dev said and everything said in game. There have been warnings for the past couple of years that a harem would never work, you ignored it.
I'm guessing you skipped all the words and just watched the sex scenes.
It isn't a recent change, it was never a thing to start with.

Nah, i didn't expect full on harem... but i also didn't expect "You've permanently ended the relationship with XXXXXX" at every turn.

There have been constant warnings that the girls wouldn't share.
Katie was only willing to share with the girls but jealousy still gets involved. None of the older women are willing at all.
It's not like it was sprung on you, you've had warnings. None of it was a surprise.
This is as laughable as those complaining about Becoming a Rockstar having all the LI's dump the MC if he was dating them all, they also gave you plenty of warning they wouldn't share.
It's like some of you ignore everything you get told and make up your own narrative.
