Of course, the devs deciding is the final say :v 

But as a consumer I'm allowed to offer my opinion and express my disappointment.  

My opinion is that if I'm the Scriviner, then I get to decide when I'm ready for sex, and I decided its at the waterfall scene, or shortly after.  

The story is good, don't get me wrong.  I've only played Joseph to completion just cause i want to wait for it to be done before I do the rest.  Did a little bit of Ridge, and overall I'm enjoying it even if I feel like the devs have a trauma/depression boner going on here lol. 

I just feel like the "sexual pacing" (what a coomer comment, i know) would have been better with a few extra scenes along the way, before all this emotional stuff.  Some of us build our bonds through physical intercourse, and for me specifically it would have helped me fall for the characters easier.

This is of course, just my opinion.  I admit I'm a lot more 'sex casual' than some people.  My favorite recent game was On Your Day Off, which gets right into the action, and Knights College which had a sex scene at the end of every chapter.  Thats just the stuff I like.  I am also looking forward to Moontouched, which seems to be a much more story driven and spiritual game, but from my impressions of the demo, it will also be a lot more carnal.  By the end of the demo, you've already had the option to invite someone back to your tent to explore each other's bodies.

So.... You dislike our game because there is no sex within the first 18 days (To clarify  including About 7/8 of them you don't talk to them)?

Just trying to understand if I get your frustrations right... mostly cause I think the comparison between our story focused game vs sexual focused games you given as an example is a bit off...

I never said I disliked it.  I was merely airing a frustration that I had with its pacing and payoff.  I enjoy the story and the characters but just started to feel like the goalposts kept moving, the carrot was continually being pulled out of reach.

And while we appreciate your input, we didn't appreciate how you worded it that we do it because we "like it" (How calling us having a trauma boner and saying it is our goal to deny everyone). It didn't sound like criticism nor input but rather felt like frustration, which came across to us as rude. 

While we do plan to add sex to the game eventually, please don't forget this game is still in development and things may change. Our priority is the story since we are not a sexual based VN, which might have been misconstruted by the art and such. We obviously won't be doing like you said, adding sex only at the last bits. We just chose to develop the story first before we even dive in (I am not sure if you play Monster Hunter which this was based off of, but the game is rich in lore, and it felt like a waste if we didn't prio that.). The game may be in 0.6, but it's still nowhere near done. I'd say we are only halfway-ish through.

And also to set expectation, again, the next update won't feature sex. Just to get it out there if you prefer to skip that one since we still do feel bad for blueballing our fans. We are not a sexual based VN where the main character can have sex anytime like the examples you've given, so it's not a proper comparison. That and we are still new so we kinda learning...

Alright, well I do apologize for the way I worded it.  I was full of feelings at the time of writing, fresh off of finishing the Joseph playthrough, and yes I felt lied to, a little bit, maybe its all my fault for misconstruing the direction the game was going to go, but yeah based on the art, the way it was advertised, and then even the way some of the characters presented themselves in game, I did come to expect it to be a little more loosey goosey with the sex.  Yes I was frustrated and having cooled off, I am sorry I worded it that way.

Honestly I do like the story, the Ace Attorney minigame was very well done, and I'm excited to eventually playthrough the rest of the characters.  I got all of them up to just when you get sick, back when that was the end, but since then have only pushed forward with Jo with each update.  

I'm also not used to games rewriting previous chapters in updates, so I never would have expected you to go back to add more adult material after hammering out the story.  That would explain how often it felt like getting walked in on or blueballed.  

I do play monster hunter, and while it is kinda rich in lore and hidden stories, its not really what I consider a 'story heavy game'.  I actually think they tried to retcon a lot of their lore with World.

Again, sorry I was rude, I was certainly heated at the time.  Not an excuse, just an explanation.
