Looks great. I think it has the basis to be an amazing game, especially in the void that Witch Trainer left. There's just a few things I'd like to note.
1. I'll get AI out of the way. I recognize the AI generation in the text right away because I use the same models lol. It's not super interesting to follow because it goes around in circles and ends up using the same tropes every other line, like "she looks at you with a hint of X, betraying some Y". Or "her voice drops to a whisper" - but why? And how do I hear her if she starts whispering? (This especially in one of the teacher's dialogues). Over and over again until it's out of place and makes no sense for the context. I usually just skip the text. I think AI is usable for this sort of task, but moreso if you give it sort of a scene to act out maybe and what you want to happen in the scene, a play-by-play if you will. Right now it's more like "Hermione was against doing this. But after talking to her, now she agrees". It says a lot without saying anything, right? We want more flavor! lol
2. There's probably also AI in (some of) the art, but that's fine with me. The animations are good, and the game is interesting. Rather there is a clear difference between in-game hermione and CG scene hermione. Wonder if something could be done there.
3. Now onto the more easily fixable stuff. It's very easy to softlock yourself. If your friendship gets too high too early, you can't date night hermione anymore, and there's no way that I found to get friendship back down. I restarted a game and in that second one, I could never get her to lift her shirt, no matter how much I played with her stats.
4. Some other sequence breaking, like in that second game I could suddenly have sex with her despite still not being able to get her to lift her shirt. There's a few other sequence breaks I noticed but unfortunately I forgot where.
5. I feel like the two mechanics of interacting with hermione and then going to fashion class should be interlinked, as right now they are not. I feel like it would make more sense if you can only get the tits out in the 'lift up your skirt' scene if you've unlocked the no bra wardrobe option, for example.
6. Paddle and cage in dark arts was kinda hard to find at first. Might be my monitor settings too. I thought I had to search the room at night, not literally click on an asset in the background because the game didn't teach me to expect I'd have to do that.
7. Wish you could save wardrobe slots! That way you can just click to load a set you saved.
But I really hope this goes well for you because this is a great game, and AI or not I love the graphics - that's not the question here! More girls in the future would be awesome lol
