/fixed mistype polycentric the best, as usualThis thread has taught me a great deal about DEmotivating a game/VN developer.
Hordragg is spot-on and I'll just add that refusing to scroll through two pages - maximum - is "rude".Dude, I think when u follow a game like that with too many posts daily and too many members posting is so difficult read every post.. plus when u follow more games like this with a ton of messages too.. I dont understand ur rude response but okay, ty anyway.
Calm, beast, from today I will stop following this game, I have already been able to verify what kind of fanbase the poor dev has, so I will continue reading other threads with more friendly people, which is the minimum that I ask when I try to comment on a internet forum.Hordragg is spot-on and I'll just add that refusing to scroll through two pages - maximum - is "rude".
This doesn't make any sense, because you're literally complaining about...reading threads.reading other threads
Aye, you thinkAnd this, right here, explains why this particular game might not be for you.
To a point I see your point but not really.For a regular dude IRL..... U have some crazy tags there …. maybe ur not so regular after all I would keep a close eye on u IRL
it's just withdrawal symptoms makes people cranky reallyOn a serious note...
This thread has become a little tense over the last month or so and, even if I think that I'm making certain points that need to be made, I'm going to back off and see if this thread calms down.
I don't think that BD needs to see me mentally sparring with people and I would like this thread to serve as an 'ambassador' to one of the best VNs out there.
Love and respect to BD. I'm out for a while
So what if they are? All other harem games have the male MC deciding to go about doing a harem wether their romantic partner wants to or not. In WVM Jamie is practically forcing you to date other women and is extremely happy about you doing so.As a gamer I am used to feeling as though my actions in the game I'm playing are important. But here, even the decisions I do make for the PC tend to be taken away from him and given to the female he's engaging with instead.
Yeah, dude. I just want to see some lewdness and I don't really care what people think about how that lewdness is presented.Geez, so much wierdness happening here... I just want to see some new pics.

I completely understand. I've been visiting here less and less myself.On a serious note...

Like Kryhn said, this is a visual novel which is more focused on a feel-good story and not something that involves a metric fuckton of choices that makes your head spin. I, personally, like it for that. Again, not every VN should be expected to be the exact same, since that would turn the idea of choice into an illusion.Aye, you think
I am well aware that this game doesn't tick all of those. It does have my important two and one of the optionals though which is why I gave it a go. As well, of course, as the excellent renders.
However, I can and do enjoy games outside of my wheelhouse occasionally.

I guess my biggest problem with this game is that I just feel (as the player) completely bloody irrelevant.
Like, the PC could be replaced with a blowup man-doll with a dildo attached and he'd have as much input to the story and sex acts.
Shit, reading this back I sound like a feminist from the 70's (justly) complaining about lack of female agency in media.
But, yeah.

Maybe I'm remembering wrongly but yeah, I just felt utterly superfluous.
Like a guy whose girlfriend agrees to a threesome with you and another chick and they spend the entire time with each other and you just sat there and watched, they didn't let you join. It's hot to watch sure but ffs...
So, troll-bots's mission accomplished?I've been visiting here less and less myself.
I love you guys and I love interacting with the community around my game but you gotta realize there's very little to gain from visiting here recently. This thread is meant to discuss the game but it feels like it's only being used to discuss what the game isn't.
liked by BD => hmm... we will stop writing shit here, learn DAZ, make renders and send it to BD!Geez, so much wierdness happening here... I just want to see some new pics.
Type it out a 6th time I'm sure that'll be the one to get your point across.First part of that, absolutely. But VN's can have a MC that has agency and is assertive, he is simply written that way. Providing the player with choices is different to the MC or PC having agency within their own story.
In this game, the lack of choices presented to the player about how the sex acts proceed annoys me. Stealing the few choices I do make and giving them to an NPC character really frustrates me.
The lack of impact that the MC has over his own story frustrates me on his behalf.

And the second sentence of your quote, for crying out loud...
In what world does a man wanting a woman to do something, or to do something to her, make him an arsehole?
In this game almost all of the sex acts are decided by what the feminine characters want - this does not make these characters arseholes.
So, unless you're going to argue that all the women are in fact all arseholes (and I suspect that you won't) your argument falls flat already.
A fella called Hordragg reminded me of Bailey and gave me some dialogue - the MC has agency in that scene. The scene, in places, proceeds how he wants it to proceed. That is all I want! The problem is that this dynamic is the complete freak and outlier here, not the norm.
I know, this game has a hella weird harem dynamic. It's the least realistic part of the story, followed by the MC's submissiveness (a top b-ball player wouldn't be) and Shauna's perfect femininity.
More normal games' "creeper" harems are far more realistic. Check out cults, R-Kelly and the medieval Middle East.
Type it out a 6th time I'm sure that'll be the one to get your point across.
