Another thing, what exactly went to your mind when you thought it would be a good idea to make the courses an absolutely off-topic and very stressing minigame which has nothing to do with the courses in which we have to move a ball across awfully designed levels with awful controls? This is not fun! This is not relevant! This is stressing! This is meaningless! Please remove this minigame or at the very least keep it for an activity which ACTUALLY is about moving a ball in a parkour and not for activities which have nothing to do with it such as the courses. If the course is about cutting a plant in half then make us cut a plant in half instead of making us move a ball in a parkour which has NOTHING to do with cutting plants.

That's enough! I figured out what is your actual goal with this game now that I witnessed Jabor and Hermione proselyting to Ron, first you spread christian scriptures all around Hogwarts and even inserted a chapel into it which doesn't make sense as the church hates witches and wizards, and now, you even use Hogwarts' teachers to proselyte as they teach that we shouldn't try to reason logically and understand everything, we should have faith without understanding, we should "forgo that rational part of us that wants proofs, order and logic and believe unconditionally" without any justification, without any reason, your game is actually nothing but a tool for religious conversion, you turned Hogwarts into a fucking church, spreading Bible's quotes everywhere and turning Harry Potter's characters into missionaries who teach "the good words" to players who merely want to experience sexy fun in Hogwarts because you are hypocrite enough to use lust to attract people to your faith whereas your church considers lust as a sin, which makes you a sinner, a damned soul, and a fucking hypocrite, how about you present your game to your church and see how they react to it, hypocrite sinner? π
Mate, I'm an atheist, not a Christian lmao. I don't think religion should have a big place in the modern world, but I don't actively hate it as you seem to, and I find it really interesting from a historical perspective.
The "Christian scriptures" that you point out aren't really that - they are from the Old Testament. I also purposefully picked ones that highlight just how gruesome the OT is. Do you actually think someone tries to spread the good word by selectively showcasing the excerpts with child sacrifice and angels killing armies of tens of thousands? The conversation with Hermione and Ron wasn't supposed to have big religious connotations either, and was rather just fastfood-level philosophising about chaos vs control. Again I think you are actively searching for something to get angry about here. It's true that the game features religion to and extend, but it's rather that I simply personally find it interesting as a concept, and that it creates for interesting characters, both good and bad. Further in the game there are some bad "religious" guys and some probably straight up heretical comments about Abraham, but there is also a good priest character.
About the boys looking like girls, I actually have no idea what you're talking about. If anything, I feel like I made everyone look too old, considering the characters featured are late-stage teenagers, not grown ups. Fabian looks like a girl, but that's for a couple of reasons. The two other roomates do not.
The rest of your points are somewhat valid concerns, but man you're also a bit of a weirdo
The more I learn about you, the more I perceive you as a deceiver of fools. π
It is really hard to believe that you are an atheist when you include so much religious content into a lore where it cannot be because it is incompatible.
There can't be a chapel nor a priest nor scriptures nor crosses nor anything christian in Hogwarts because christian church is the enemy of witches and wizards, there is nothing christian in all of the 7 books Harry Potter, you inserted it yourself and damaged the lore because you try to insert incompatible content.
For someone who thinks religion shouldn't have a big place in the modern world, you sure as hell try really hard to insert it everywhere in a place where there can't be any, even damaging the lore, between the proselyting dialogues, the scriptures and the crosses everywhere, the chapel and the priest in a school where the church would love nothing more than to burn everyone alive, the chapel's music everywhere even in places where it is not suited, even ruining the day at the lake because of that insufferable off-topic music, it should sound like a fun party and not like a contemplative chapel, you definitely insert something that you think shouldn't have a big place in every possible place where there is no place for it.
I can't stand lack of intelligence and no intelligent being would ever believe that the Bible is a true story, it is full of contradictions and absurdities and your propaganda to not think, not reason, not question, just believe unconditionally, really pissed me off, especially since it is not why people download your game as you advertise it as an innocent porn game in Hogwarts and you don't mention anywhere your proselytism waiting for unaware players.
I don't appreciate that you even try to fool me when you should have realized already that your deception doesn't work on me. You expect me to believe that you actually try to demonstrate how gruesome is the Old Testament rather than worshiping it? Then answer me this: Why? Why do you even try to do such a thing? How is it relevant to a porn game in Hogwarts? How ANYTHING christian is relevant to Hogwarts? Why would you insert irrelevant content into an incompatible lore and damage it if you were not a fanatic obsessed with his religion to the point to insert it into everything he makes? And spare me your bullshit about chaos versus control, it is obvious that was not the topic of the discussion that you wrote, it was undoubtedly reason versus faith. The more you try to fool me, the more you piss me off and the more I am tempted to report your proselytism to both Itch and Patreon because I am pretty sure they are not fond of proselytism, actually no one is but proselytizers themselves.
Why would I purposefully search for reasons to be angry? How being angry would benefit me? I don't download games hoping to get mad at them, quite the opposite, I download them hoping to enjoy them and have nothing to complain about. I didn't download your game with the purpose of criticizing it but I can't help it if you give me so many reasons to NOT enjoy your game.
You got to be kidding me if you are telling me that these are note feminine faces:
Also, you claimed that you made students look too old (which I disagree, they look fine for young adults otherwise your game would be pedophile if they looked any younger), but you made the opposite for Severus Snape, you made him look like a child!
I don't mind you calling me a weirdo because if you found me normal then THAT would be a upsetting statement because that would mean you perceive me as the same as you and I don't want to be the same as you.
Seriously, and I mean this in the nicest way possible (as in I think you should seek help if you aren't already and I wish you all the best), but I really do think you might have some sort of schizotypal personality disorder. I know because I do as well and sometimes think I see strange patterns where there aren't any.
When I said that I don't believe it has much of a place in the modern world, I meant it in term of a country's official policies, and I hoped this was clear already from the context. People can believe whatever they want really, but I don't think religion should have any kind of influence except on the individual practicing it, if they so choose to.
That doesn't mean it shouldn't feature in games, if it's ONLY used by people to try and create interesting story elements. The reason why it is included so heavily in this game is because I generally find occult themes interesting, and which is also why all these mentions of religion that you bring up are excerpts from the Old Testament that, again, really do focus on some of its most gruesome aspects. I know it is not something that exists in the official Harry Potter universe, but then this also isn't the official Harry Potter universe, it's literally just a porn game with a bit of meandering fastfood philosophy sprinkled in there.
I looked through your comment section to see what's up with you, and found a comment on a game with weird sadism towards woman in it, in which you made quite the correct observation about its weirdo author, that people don't spend months and months creating a game whose elements they aren't personally interested in. I want you to now apply that same logic to me when you ask WHY. I simply enjoy those elements, alright? I don't find religion to be a particularly good idea, but I love everything from the Old Testament for HISTORICAL reasons. It's really as simple as that. Honestly I felt that I was being a little TOO anti-religion and inserted the priest character, the muslim prayer room, etc to create a bit more of a balance.
A little further in the game, you will find that the main bad guys are literally Old Testament Yahweh / Baal worshippers, who, again, energetically discuss certain sacrifices. I think I'll leave that as the closing remark on my "proving" that I am not some religious nut secretly trying to insert some secret, religion-positive message into a porn game of all things. If anything, I leant a little too much in the opposite direction for my own liking.
About the character faces, I don't know man, those are the only 5 examples and they all look like what you could reasonably expect teenagers to sometimes look like. The only really feminine guy is Fabian, and, to a degree, Barry Jenkins (the red haired guy in the pics), but those are entirely intentional.
That doesn't mean it should feature in irrelevant games either, I told you you are damaging Hogwarts' lore by insisting on inserting incompatible content in it, I didn't just point out that this content is not included in the original story, I did explain that it is INCOMPATIBLE because the only interaction that witches and wizards ever had with christian religion is to be hunted down and burned at the stake, how do you expect people to appreciate an ideology who wants nothing more than to erase them? I wouldn't mind that you have personal interests in religions IF those personal interests were relevant and compatible with your work, the only possible way to make christian faith interact with Hogwarts is as an antagonist, as in if some muggle inquisitors and witch-hunters were actively hunting witches and wizards and discovered Hogwarts' existence and tried to infiltrate it to destroy it because only muggles can be christian since christianism rejects magic, there can be no christian wizard and the only way muggles could compete with magic is if they developed high technologies to rival magical abilities, the only possible plot to insert christian faith into Hogwarts is a plot about high-tech witch-hunters and inquisitors trying to destroy Hogwarts and definitely not some christian wizards because I explained why wizards CANNOT be christian.
Actually, if you want so much to make a game which takes place in a heavily christian influenced school and which includes wizardry and witchcraft then why don't you make a game which ACTUALLY takes place into a christian school for exorcists who are taught holy spells to fight demons and witches and maybe develop a plot about the protagonist exorcist trainee meeting a kind-hearted witch who uses her magical abilities to heal people, starting to doubt the righteousness of his religion's teachings, wondering why witches should unconditionally be hunted and question religious intolerance and fanaticism, now THAT would be a game which includes both your personal interests in religions AND school life AND witchcraft and wizardry AND would be consistent and wouldn't damage any incompatible lore, and since he doubts the righteousness of religious dictatorship, he also questions religious rules and wonders why he should deny himself his desires if they cause no harm to anyone and starts to experience and enjoy the pleasures of being intimate with women both in hearts and bodies, he could even convince nuns that there is no reason to forbid pleasures of life as long as they are harmless and start having sex both with nuns and witches so it can also be a porn game, I didn't forget about that part as well. π
I wouldn't mind such a game because as I said, it is not your religious curiosity which rubs me the wrong way, it is its irrelevance and incompatibility in an already developed lore that you don't respect by trying to change it too much from what it is, if you want it to be that different then create your own instead of damaging another one. See? I even made an example of how you could actually develop your own lore which includes all of your interests in a consistent way and would not damage any other lore.
The question is not weather you are pro-religions or anti-religions, the question is why do you include religion at all into irrelevant and incompatible places? If you use an already existing lore, namely Hogwarts, then the very least that you must do is to respect it and not damage it with insertions of incompatible content. If you want to make a game about Hogwarts, then make a game about Hogwarts in a consistent way with the original and you know full well that religions who hate witchcraft and wizardry are incompatible with witches and wizards and therefore cannot have any place at all into a school for witches and wizards, that much should be obvious.
Claiming that you love the gruesome Old Testament for historical reasons implies that you love gruesome history. And you suggest ME to seek psychological help? π
Your hypocrisy is starting to make me feel physically sick, first you insert religion in your own into a place where there is none in the first place and there CANNOT be any, then you claim that you are atheist and anti-religious even though you spam religion everywhere on your own when you could just enjoy the absence of any if you were actually atheist, then you add EVEN MORE religion because you claim you think you were too harsh on religions and instead of just NOT including religion at all, you choose to add EVEN MORE, and you expect me to believe your unbelievable bullshit about your motives? π
I AM anti-religious and where there is no religion, I DON'T insert it on my own, I rather enjoy the absence of it instead, and if I wanted to talk about religions, I would say the exact opposite of you because I would encourage people to analyze thoroughly, to think rationally, to reason logically, to question credibility of claims that all knowledge prove wrong, to NOT believe anything unconditionally, to confront faith to facts, which you do exactly the opposite.
I expected as much since you make everything revolve around religion, I already figured out that the entire plot of your game would revolve around religion as well. π
I wouldn't mind the plot to revolve around religion IF it actually made sense, like a plot about muggle inquisitors and witch-hunters conspiring against Hogwarts, I wouldn't mind it BECAUSE it would make sense, but christian wizards DO NOT make sense as christianism and wizardry are antagonist.
Oh I assure you there is nothing secret about your proselytism, in fact it is hard to NOT notice it. π
Really? Do you ACTUALLY meet many MALE teenagers who look THAT feminine? Because if you actually do, then I would suggest you to seek ophthalmologist help along with the psychological help already suggested because I think you are seeing girls and taking them for boys. π
And I noticed that I am not the first one to point out how too feminine your boys look.
I have already damaged Hogwarts' lore by including literal porn elements in it. You seem slightly hypocritical in how you pick and choose what needs to be included, but you need to realise that the game simply doesn't revolve around your tastes. It revolves, mostly, around mine. I find Old Testament and generally occult elements (not Christian elements, there is not one excerpt from the Bible lol) interesting, so I include them in the game to an extent, but the idea that I am proselytising when most of the comments and ideas about religion are downright heretical, is actually just silly man. I simply combined a lot of elements that I liked, including among them these occult elements, school environments, magic, etc. The compatibility is so-so, but Christianity in Scotland around the time Hogwarts was built still included a lot of pagan elements, including from viking influences, so I do not think it is that far-fetched that it had a presence there IN THE PAST, which was then entirely excised around the time of the witch trials etc, only to now, finally, in the modern day, make the smallest of returns, with that SINGLE priest character.
I also cannot see how you feel that they are overwhelming. Most of the religion-related stuff, from the church, to the Old Testament scriptures, to the party with the literal evil God worshippers, were all added in a SINGLE release, most of which I wrote while sick with covid and so felt especially appealed by the these slightly feverish elements. The conversation between Ron and Hermione has absolutely nothing to do with religion (or at least it wasn't intended to, but I seriously cannot stop you from interpreting it however you wish to, even if it's really annoying to hear your own message twisted), and also, the "message" during it seems to be the exact OPPOSITE of what I have to hear from most of the retarded Christians when they try to force their faith on others, where the arguments mostly revolve around logic and muh ontological proofs for God.
But if you absolutely do not like religious elements, I strongly advise against playing it, because the next couple of releases are going to feature a lot of Druidic / Celtic religious elements. That said, your game idea does sound pretty interesting and I wish you the best in creating it. I do wish that you would at least try and seek help for some of the things I mentioned because, while I am not a psychologist, I do recognise some of the paranoia and the strange obsession with finding patterns where there aren't any in myself. Good luck
Alright, fair enough. Just for the records, I again want to stress that I am not a "believer" in any kind of religion, that I do not believe that there is any kind of God, and that your misinterpretations of messages and simple background lore-tidbits do not represent my actual opinions and beliefs. You are of course still welcome to to read it however you want to, but I still suggest that you find professional help with this stuff if you haven't already, because I recognise some of your behaviour in myself. I wish you a good day too!
I said what I had to say and it's a shame that you didn't actually listen because you were fixated on the idea to see your own paranoia into me as you said and therefore you didn't listen to my reasonable arguments because you assumed that I am just as crazy as you but that's the problem with believers, they can't be reasoned, and when I say "believers", I don't only mean in a religious way, I also mean that you believe that I am crazy even though I am reasonable, now it is up to each player to be analytic enough to figure out your proselytism as I did and not let themselves be influenced by it.
By the way, I'm still stuck at the lake party because I am in swimwear and in the pool during the starting cutscene but as soon as the game resumes, I am in my wizard robe again and when I enter into water, I can't swim because I don't float, I walk on the sea floor as if my body was made of lead and I drown as soon as my head is under water, is that supposed to be this way? I don't think so because for starter, it doesn't make sense that I am back in my wizard robe when I was in my swimwear during the cutscene and also because I have an optional quest to talk to Hana whereas Hana is in the middle of the pool therefore I can only conclude that I am supposed to be able to swim and the game is broken if I can't. Also I can't interact with the balls to throw them in the hoops. So I'm stuck at the lake party with my off-topic wizard robe when everyone is in swimwear and with that insufferable off-topic chapel's music unable to swim and unable to complete my quests to progress, that's where I left the game since I couldn't do anything more.
I know, but this is not an innocent porn parody, this is religious proselytism, he uses porn as a tool to influence his players with religious reasoning, I advise you to not underestimate subconscious manipulations.
He claimed that his plot is about the jewish Old Testament and not the imperial roman christian New Testament however he inserted christian visual and musical symbols everywhere in Hogwarts and he even inserted a christian chapel and priest, all of that is NOT from the jewish Old Testament, it is definitely from the imperial roman christian New Testament, which really rubs me the wrong way not only because christianism is a psychological virus developed by the Roman Empire to turn the rebellious jewish people's faith against themselves and enslave them by psychological religious manipulations, a nasty virus which has spread all around the world and has corrupted humans' minds for thousands of years WHICH IS HOSTILE TO WIZARDRY AND THEREFORE IS INCOMPATIBLE WITH HOGWARTS, but also because he tries to bullshit me when I confront him to his religious proselytism, he is hypocrite to the point to not even acknowledging his deeds, like a kid who broke a vase then claims it was not him, he didn't do anything, so you see, he actually gave me really good reasons to despise him.
Moreover, it is not just any fantasy world, it is a well-established detailed fantasy world which he doesn't respect the logic and breaks it because he cares only about his own selfish desires and doesn't care about breaking lore.
I can't even focus on the porn because he cuts short every porn scene as if his christian brainwashed mind stops him short of making ACTUAL porn, he can only SUGGEST porn but not go through it. π
and then its still just a porn parody of a fantasy world made by some bloke
well thought out fantasy is still fantasy, and parody is still parody
also he didnt say his plot was about the OT, just the scriptures you pointed out were
"The "Christian scriptures" that you point out aren't really that - they are from the Old Testament"
"....and which is also why all these mentions of religion that you bring up are excerpts from the Old Testament that, again, really do focus on some of its most gruesome aspects."
he told you twice
also a quick google shows not only jk rowling is christian but theres plenty of christianity in her books
"Rowling said she intentionally incorporated Christian themes"
βTheyβre very British books, so on a very practical note Harry was going to find biblical quotations on tombstones, [but] I think those two particular quotations he finds on the tombstones at Godricβs Hollow, they sum up — they almost epitomize the whole series.β
Of course, the quotations to which sheβs referring are:
βWhere your treasure is, there will your heart be also.β (Matthew 6:19)
The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death.β (1 Corinthians 15:26)
Yes, he did say that his plot is about wizards who worship the god Yahweh from the Old Testament and maybe the scriptures he spread out all around his Hogwarts are indeed not christian because they are from the Old Testament before the Roman Empire rewrote it into the New Testament however he did spread CHRISTIAN symbols such as roman crosses, a christian chapel, a christian priest, and that cursed chapel chore EVERYWHERE, these are definitely christian even if the scriptures are from the original jewish religion before the Roman Empire rewrote it and turned it into roman christianism.
Maybe J.K.Rowling is indeed christian, which is to be expected from such a puritan woman who invents a closed hidden world who lives in margin of the rest of the world like a sect, I stopped respecting J.K.Rowling many years ago already so I don't care what she is nor what she wants because she sold her creation to Hollywood and didn't give a shit what Hollywood made of it as long as she was paid a lot of money, however some biblical quotations on tombstones don't make her books some christian books and when I play a porn game to experience sexy life in Hogwarts, I certainly don't want to see religious symbolism everywhere, listen to teachers and students turned missionaries who preach some religious bullshit, be lectured by a priest, and hear chapel chore everywhere because Hogwarts is not a church, it's a witchcraft and wizardry school, it is not supposed to overflow with religion, that's not what Hogwarts is supposed to be even if J.K.Rowling is christian, she didn't design Hogwarts as a religious school so if he does want to make a religious school then he makes his own and doesn't bait players with a popular school which is NOT religious and turn it into a place of religious proselytism.
THAT's what really grinds my gears: his cowardly unassumed hypocrite proselytism that he doesn't even acknowledges even though it is obvious.
