I love the renders. I hate your storytelling. Not nearly enough info on what's going on. Why is there a 2 year break? What are the actual relationships, and why did they change? Confusing.
Too few choices early on. Forced sex scenes (where there is no player option to do it or not) are bad form (especially since there is no necessary story element there).
It's basically a kinetic novel with free roam to make it technically not a kinetic novel. KNs should be presented in 3rd person, not first, as it makes little sense to be first person with no options.
The free roam elements are clunky and just waste time. They also break the flow of what little story is there.
Renders are animations are spot on (with the exception of the animations being a bit too fast.
It was very frustrating to play through, due to too many confusing plot points and the clunky free roam which really has no reason to be there.
I get you are solo on this, and are doing what you can, but there are glaring holes in your presentation thus far. I hope you get it situated, cuz I will definitely add financial support it if you do.
I included the two-year time skip because I wanted the player to have a general idea of who the characters was before the time skip. I think that’s important for better understanding their backstories.
Choices made up to this point in the game aren’t noticeable yet, since the point where the two paths diverge comes a little later on and will depend on several previous choices.
The issue with free roams will be resolved in version 0.1.1—a “skip” button will be added.
As for the plotlines, I’ve already planned them out, and I hope those “confusions” will be cleared up as updates are released. (However, I’ll take this into account for future updates.)
With the release of 0.1.1, I’ll explain several topics—including the reasoning behind the free roams—in greater detail. 0.1.1 will be released this weekend (9/6/26).
Thanks for your reply! :D I reread what I originally posted and I realize it may have sounded too negative. I did not mean it in that bad a light. I was tired and I just honed in on the points I was in contention with. Even with those points you are definitely onto something with this .
I'll definitely check out your next few updates to see if this goes in a direction I can follow :D
yes. great game. really enjoyed it. wery pretty girls. not a fan of free roam and the manegement part. will be wery interesting to see what fetishes u choose to have in the game. but over all liked it a lot. my favorit looking girls is aubree and noah. there are no tags yet, but here are some I noticed. tags. free roam. manegement.
I want to preface the comment below, with saying that I feel like there is a lot of good going on with your first update. The character models look good and I think there is potential for a good story here. Now the rest of the comment below is intended to be friendly advice from someone who has played over 1000 AVNs and has seen hundreds of Devs fall into the same trap you are about to stubble upon. Additionally, I've seen your game's thread on other sites already and the following is the main discussion going on there already.
So far everything about the Sam/Boss Arc screams "technically not NTR" right now which is just as bad as NTR for those who don't like NTR. The fact that she is clearly an LI and she is already being groped and blackmailed by her boss in the first update will mean that anyone who doesn't like NTR will hesitate before they download the second update. If they do download it, and the second update doesn't immediately address that Arc, and Sam doesn't get away from the Boss's advances with zero consequences, then anyone who was hesitant before, will not download the third update. If after 6-10 updates the Arc actually ends, and they see others commenting that nothing NTR or "technically not NTR" happens worse than what we saw in the first update, then you may be able to win someone of that audience back. However, there will still be a large segment of that crowd who will put this game and any future game you make on their ignore list.
While it won't trigger as many Anti-NTR people as the Sam Arc, even the conversation with Noah in the car about how she used to fuck anything she could get, is not a great look for her as an LI. Obviously, she doesn't need to be a virgin, (that would be entirely unrealistic for her character) but if you want people to like her as an LI, having her talk about the number of dicks she has taken/wants to take, is a terrible idea.
You should make the game you want, but you need to understand the audience you are advertising to, if you ever want this to be a successful AVN. If you don't plan this to be an NTR/Sharing/Swing/NTS kind of game, then you should never show/imply an LI in any sexual situations with other men. It will turn off a large portion/majority of the Harem or Romance audience. If you do plan to include NTR/Sharing/Swinging/NTS type content, then you should just solely focus on that content, as a large portion of that audience will not waste their money/time on a game that only has a few scenes or a single story arc that involves those kinks.
Oh, okay, I see. And I really appreciate the explanation and you taking the time to explain it to me. I'll figure out how to address that issue. As for the tags, I added several, and I also plan to include a warning at the beginning about the content, which some people might classify as NTR.
And I really want to thank you again for explaining it to me and for taking the time.
Do you plan for this content to be avoidable or is it mandatory? I really enjoyed the game but watching one of the girls get ntrd might be a dealbreaker, atleast for that particular girl. And you should prepare for the inevitable raging storm that will be the F95 fallout.
As soon as version 0.1.1 (Just some fixes) is released this Sunday, 9/6/26, I'll go into more detail about the NTR issue. For now, I can tell you that I don't have any NTR planned for any of the girls, neither do I have any interest in doing so.

Hey! Thanks for commenting.

Hey! Thanks so much for playing and leaving a comment!
I wasn't quite sure what tags to use since this is actually my first published game, but I'll keep that in mind and add some in the next few days!
In response to the first comment, I don't think what I have planned qualifies as NTR. Even so, I don't plan on going in that direction.
