ok,
i have tried the heram highlander game update .2.
it is a bad, bad, overly comidic game that is what makes it so FREAKIN FUNNY, please try it out and laugh at how bad the jokes are.
it has a "decent" story that many will like, but it's so, so UGHHHHH.
and yes you should read the christmas short staory after going through the curent update, it's stupid and funny and cute all in one.

That might be the appeal to you, but some of us actually read the text on screen for the story.
Also, you know what helps people remember the characters outside of what they look like ? Giving them a reason to be invested in and care about them as a person. This means you eventually have to develop them as more than just a fleshpillow to be pounded when the clock ticks over.
Because not everyone plays for sex, some play for story and the sex is just a sweet sticky bonus
That is literally the only thing that this game appeals to, which is a large cast of women wanting to have sex with the MC because he's perfection personified. The GF in this game early on even lets you fuck other women so you make them happy, and doesn't display a shred of jealousy, which from a story telling perspective is a terrible decision because it automatically removes what could have been a big element to the plot.

I'm not knocking the game, it's fun and I get why people like it, but lets not pretend the plot is Shakespearean. If the Dev wants to focus on story telling in the game, all power to him, but I think he'll need to decide soon whether he wants this game to be a Greek God Simulator or if he wants to tell an actual story here which means he'll have to reduce the number of sex scenes, because trying to do both will not appease anyone.

so your just gonna focus on the sex part and forget about all of the other story, like the basketball, Ryker, the MCs mom and sister, the Hearts and now the potential new villain Dalia

If that is your motivation, then it might be best. BD, in order to make a good product that will bring in money, has to ensure that each character is developed to ensure continuous interest. And at the same time, ensure story development so that it also stays relevant. That is the whole premise behind a visual novel...at least the good ones anyhow.
Yet you could argue his boom in success with this project was from NOT being like the thousands of other similar games as he had a pacing that defied logic but it was funny, the girls were hot and the scenes were saucy. It wasnt remotely realistic but it was very fan servicey where MC was fucking everything in sight practically every update and thats how most got here... lets be honest, how many stuck around this long because they adored the characters that deeply when majority of them were not that deep? I mean sure we can blue ball extended periods like Mr Dots (yeesh) to great success but this project didnt blow up on the basis of it being presented as such, it was more in the Ecchi Sensei camp of "heres dozens of girls, leave behind your perception of reality a bit and join me in my quest to animate you fucking every last single one of them".

The change of pace im not sure will all of a sudden change the success of the project as it already was a success and it doesnt detract from this visual novel being a good one as it was already a good one but with different strengths. A year from now i still likely wont care about girls in the game i currently dont like at this moment in time - one or two perhaps but thats about it and im sure its the case for everyone else. The game being THIS bloated actually defies spending long development times in characterisations and deep backstories for even half of the girls weve met in the game already as there are simply far too many so if you DO try that your gonna devote time to build up characters many were meh over sure but give less and less focus on girls who people already loved in masses and wanted to see more vs trying to make them care equally about a Penny, Tia or who ever else. I see team harem as main cast and everyone else extra juicy sexy scene content side characters and that works and has worked so well so far with more of said Harem to develop deeper anyway but not at expense of any sex scenes for months at a time. IMO

Okay, I was so triggered by the pacing of the game that I had to write a full review talking about it, but I still gotta know, am I the only one really bothered about how much happens in a day in this game? Like bruh, I get exhausted thinking about how much shit the MC does when he's a literal top athlete and a college student

Ah yes the absurd argument of i'm not enjoying it so others can't either.

No one was calling BD the 2nd coming of the Bard here. We just happen to enjoy all aspects of the game including the story telling. Sorry you don't like that and that you literally only come here to fap. Might i suggest just going to watch porn instead ?

I don't see where the dude said he wasn't enjoying it. It is an enjoyable game: There's a wide range of characters, the models look fairly decent, and the MC is not only perfection personified but also a decent human being, which makes for a nice change. But in terms of plot, it's not like there has been much in the way of character development, any obstacles thrown the MC's way tend to magically disappear, and all women and most men automatically bow before the Glory of his Penis/Personality after a few seconds' exposure.
There's nothing wrong with any of that per se, but when the game starts out as your basic wish fulfillment fantasy, it can be tricky to steer it into more plot-heavy waters without upsetting the punters.

i would differ from what your interpretation of this game is .. i like to story as it is so far at least .. could it be improved .. yeah and BrainDrop knows what he needs to do .. and will fix it later at some point .... :)

Braindrop Just wanted to put this out there, that from the part of the story inside the bowling alley that the MC is talking to Eve, v0.9.3 is completely incompatible with the saves from that point. I didn't do any particular deep dive testing, but the next save that I happened to try, the foursome with the cheerleaders on the couch, did load. I did find this annoying but do keep updated saves in order to see the results of agreeing to do Eve's porn tape.

Now, of course, it's not something that BD or anyone can actually do anything about other than what I've already been doing, but if you've been playing and saving along with the version updates, it's something to remain aware of.
