Hello everyone! There is no secret here, we are a group of developers-friends, we make games and help each other in various aspects. Everyone helps as much as they can and makes the game as they feel.
I am very sad that some of you found my game boring, I tried to write a story about the problems of people who have been married for many, many years.
As far as I know, my friends' games have other features and problems. Yes, we use similar engines to tell our story. Everyone makes pictures as multipliers, I am just learning this and it takes me a lot of time.
Friends, because if you think that making games is so simple, then why don't you make them? The more cool games the better, I think the players themselves will choose what to play tonight.
The forum has a huge number of very similar projects, especially in the genre "Deiting with 10 Anime Girls", but for some reason our work hurt you so much
In any case, thank you for your feedback, I will try to make my game better

Hey Scarabs.
Please don't mind the comments. Or that silly review you received. Don't take that silliness to heart.
A lot of people hate on games for their first release. Firstly, because the game doesn't have a whole lot of content yet and people therefore have yet to find out where it's going. And secondly, because your game has yet to find it's audience. The people who don't like it, are slowly gonna leave it be and the core of people who enjoy it are going to stick around.
Just keep at it, buddy. The reception of a first release can be really hard to take, especially if you haven't been through it before. Just take a look at my game, which is still in early development:

I've received three 1 star reviews. Two of them arrived shortly after the initial prologue.
It happens to all of us.
Keep going, my friend.
I'm here for the ride!
Lots of Love
SAFFID.

Dear friend, thank you for your words of support and arguments, I am very pleased that there are people here who are ready to support me!Hey Scarabs.

However, I would not like to feud with haters, perhaps I could convince them, show them that my game is not so bad and has its own unique features

Considering that I've been a member since 2017, this is blatantly not true. I know there's a bunch of "phone games", but the screenshots of them show fairly different games going by art and text, within the shared framework of phone texting; that framework is not sufficient to be saying something is an "exact copy", because then you might as well be saying all ren'py games are "exact copies" of each other because the style of the game is the same, and that's patently false as well.
So, QuantumBunnyStudio did Logan Netori Story, QuantumBunnyNovels (obviously same person different account) did Mobile of Desires, and they both clearly use the same AI CG generation model, because you can see the Incase-style characters are pretty consistant. Good Girl Phone is by LazyRaccoonStudio, could be same person new account again, but they're using a different AI generation model because it's not the same aesthetic; looks more of a generic artist agglomeration style generation model was used. Here with Years Between Us we see a similar aesthetic to the first two, especially in the last image shared, but seems to be an upgrade to the other two's generation model, because the characters don't have the same roundness to them in the face that the other two games have, either. Either way, doesn't seem like it's a straight "exact copy", just similar games.
I was talking about the code/script/programing and Ai writing, not the AI tools used for images. Still the same copy, but I think you are already aware of that, since you specifically left out all of it. Still, simp as much as you want, no need to quote me again.

I asked for such evidence and you just rattled off the names of a few different games that all share the same general framework and don't have any obvious script repetition visible sans downloading, and I ain't doing *your* job of providing evidence of what you're claiming. I then showed the points visible for those games available here on the website itself that disproves claims of being "exact copies", that's all. If you think basic refutation is simping, you got more than a few screws loose.
I just don't patience dealing with simps, the devs themselves admitted using the script done by taptus in another thread, I am putting your arrogant ass in my ignored list now.

In the second part of Alex & Julia, the tension between the spouses grows stronger. Past unspoken issues turn into open conflicts, and Alex finds more and more reasons for doubt and jealousy.
The gameplay remains in the messenger format, but now the choices become harder and the consequences more significant. You must decide how Alex should talk to Julia — whether to trust her words or dig deeper for the truth.
This chapter also reveals more about Julia’s hidden online life, introduces new characters, and brings unexpected revelations. Every action moves you closer to a turning point: saving the marriage, stepping into open relationships, or facing a final breakup.

Hello everyone!
I’m excited to announce that Chapter 3 is finally here!
This chapter picks up right after the “closet morning” — when Alex stumbles upon something he definitely wasn’t expecting to find. What follows is one of the most playful and intimate conversations between him and Julia so far. Through their messages, we see teasing, jealousy, curiosity, and a new level of honesty between them.
Julia becomes bolder, revealing her hidden desires, while Alex tries to keep up — torn between surprise, excitement, and doubt. Their dynamic changes quickly, and for the first time, they begin to explore what trust and confession truly mean in their relationship.
The new chapter is filled with flirtation, tension, and moments that blur the line between love and curiosity. I really hope you enjoy it and feel even closer to the characters as their story unfolds. ❤
Thank you for your incredible support and feedback — it means the world to me and keeps this project alive.
