Hi Everyone,
Thanks for visiting my page. Would love to hear your feedback, I will try to answer as much as I possibly can.
I just played the Jon route and want to say I enjoyed the story so far. I'm usually not one for kinetic novels but that story was pretty well done. I really like how supportive the sister and best friend are.
I would love for meaningful choices to be a thing after chapter 2 because I feel like the linear way the story is laid out serves well for an introduction to the side characters and the college story going forward.
Male protagonist games aren't really something I look for in adult visual novels but the friend was done well enough that I might redo the story from his perspective.
Going forward will the focus be on Jon's story? I ask that because it seems like it'll be the most interesting. Will there be meaningful choices once the pair make it to college? What girls will Jon meet in college and will any of them be the online friends that were mentioned?
Thank you so much for the kind words and above all taking the time to download a play through. You've hit on an internal debate I had, had through the initial development in terms of offer player choices. I initially as you rightly observed went for a linear path, similar to VN's like Steins Gate. I am open to change to a more choice based approach as the story develops however, it's really not a lot of extra coding/redering, I just don't want to do it half arsed. Chapter 3 is still very much linear, I'm in the middle of developing Chap 4 (when they eventually get themselves off to Uni :)) and have a few ideas regarding choices, I'm very much leaning towards that approach.
I would totally recommend playing both routes if you have the time, there are different scenes unique to both characters and give you a little more insight into the supporting characters too.
Once again thank you so much for the feedback, you've certainly pushed me further down a course that I agree with you will enhance the story, as long as I can do justice to it.
Edit: Forgot to answer your question on Jon's girls. I have love interests planned for both characters, you'll meet some in Chapter 3 and a lot more in Chapter 4, that's all I can tell you right now :)
