eh ive seen worst it's fine to me besides I know the early ones are being redone slowly. But guess depends what you play / care about. Personally I give no shits about lewd scenes I care more about the relationship
yeah there is nothing too bad about them... have I seen better? Yes. But honestly I don't care either. Seriously I don't get it... if they want to rub one out they should just watch porn, and this ain't it.

This *IS* porn.

Personally, I think the H-scenes in this game are solid, but to suggest that this isn't porn is ridiculous.

you and I have very different opinions on what porn is then. You're entitled to yours, so whatever, not gonna try to convince you otherwise.

yeah this game isn't even close to porn to me. sex scenes in the way they are presented does not make them porn to me , they are just sex scenes nothing more nothing less. For me it depends on the presentation if I consider it porn

yeah, by that logic every movie with sex scenes in it would be considered porn

... are NOT shown in mainstream films with sex scenes. A movie might have a sex scene, but they are simulated and obfuscated. If it shows explicit sex scenes with the express purpose of highlighting the sex acts, then that makes it porn. Yesterday's Crossroads does this many times and there close-ups to the good parts every time. It's porn. Let's not kid ourselves.

Believe me, if some mainstream superhero film just casually included a scene with a chick getting pounded in several different positions and then had a close up of her eating cum, I doubt they'd be able to dismiss the backlash by saying it's "not porn".

The aim of porn is sexual arousal. It's not the case with this AVN. Ergo not porn. You may have a different opinion, I don't really care.

it depends on your own point of view. I disagree in saying explicit sex = porn at least from my own point of view. Sure you be right when it comes to mainstream media but that is also because there is rules and regulations and what not when it comes ratings system. For me I only consider it porn if it's literally there just for sex like with side girls most of the time. But if there is actual character development or a story to be told between the character and there isnt a sex scene every 20-30 minutes but they are spaced out it's hard for me to consider it porn just because it's explicit. So personally I find it silly to consider explicit sex to be considered porn just because of the act and what mainstream media tells us. I need the context behind said sex scenes to decide for myself. I don't give a damn if im told it's porn by everyone else i'll decide that for myself not cause im told it is.

I mean, by that definition it is literally porn because the express purpose of showing closeups of blowjobs/vaginal/anal/cumshots/creampies etc... is for sexual arousal. If this dev didn't want this to be a porn game, he wouldn't have included those scenes, but he did. Porn with a story is still porn, bro :ROFLMAO:

let's just agree to disagree on that then. You are entitled to your opinion, even though I disagree with it.

I normally like your posts (opinions) J....but if you think an AVN's sole purpose is to sttimulate sexual excitement...they must be the single worst godamn forms and ways of doing it in digital media :ROFLMAO:
I never said anything about "sole purposes". I'm just saying that this VN absolutely undeniably has pornographic content in it. It contains scenes with close-ups highlighting sexual organs being put to work, which qualifies it as porn. That is a fact. So it's highly inaccurate to say this isn't pornographic. My opinion is that the pornographic aspect of this VN doesn't take anything away from the fact that the romance and the characters are enjoyable and the story is engaging. But it's silly and denialist not to call it what it is.

I understand the point of view. My main goal in making this AVN was to create a story-heavy game with adult elements (sex, violence, murder, heavy language, etc.).

My sex scenes are dog water but my 3D skills have been improving over time. I've received a lot of feedback since I started, and now I am reworking everything, including every sex scene, even that Keyla quick solo action in the bathroom. They will have better dialogue, much better animations, and they won't just be a set of choices with no depth. Now, each scene has a beginning, middle, and end. The menus will still pop up so you can reprise the action you'd prefer though.

So yeah, I am currently working on the reworks and fixing all this stuff. :HideThePain:

Personally I don't have a problem with the lewd scenes as they are currently. But then that is not my reason for playing AVN's, my main reason is the relationship building between the characters. I enjoy a nice romantic story with a love interest that I like and this game has great LI's in abundance. I see a lewd scene as an added extra, not as my sole purpose for playing.
While I think that it's great that you are listening to feedback and making changes that you feel will improve the game overall, please try to not get too bogged down in reworking the game to try and please everyone because it's an impossible task.
Keep up the good work and I look foward to buying and playing the next update.

i'm in the middle on this. I mostly agree with you however I do feel reworking the dialogue during the lewd scene is something I do want. While yeah sometimes dialogue during lewds are meh it also can be pretty intimate and just for a better experience when it comes to the character. As I did find it lacked an intimate feel at least the first time I played. I don't care about the animations tho.
