This game is really damn good besides being fap material. Pretty much on par with Harem Hotel with effort and character development. I would like a version though where it has smaller breast sizes, or characters with different sizes, but that is more of a preference thing. How far along are you in the development cycle and do you plan on making games with different engines?
TLDR: Game is good and the decisions are more impactful then most TellTale games
The idea is to get everyone to C5 with pregnancy, except Lin of course, who is already completely corrupted and just needs pregnancy. It's hard to argue that I'm more than half way done with the game... although for one year of the games two year development I was making pretty slow progress and I've recently picked that up a LOT.
As for other engines... I would like to delve out into something that I could eventually publish to steam. Not that I'm a money grubber, I just really like being able to eat. At the same time though I have a growing expertise in my current engine as well as various communities being oddly entrenched in the art styles which can make it difficult to change.
Although if you're referring to Renpy and instead moving into unreal or some such... Renpy makes a tremendous amount of development really easy, which lets me concentrate on creating content and that's hard to pass up. If I did change it would be to unreal, I've got a decade of industry experience in it, although it does now give me PTSD.
Wow! That is an extremely in depth dev process and I am actually excited for the updates and end content for the game. I have noticed that a lot of Renpy games are largely focused on character and story, and hearing that it is a lot easier for devs makes a lot of sense for it to be effective.
I do remember the first cycle ending with the protag feeling hazy, and then the day repeats. Is or will there be a story explanation for that, or is it just a cool 4th wall break to make the cycle logical? I did just get to Alex, after playing through Alex's routes (I think im done but there are a couple of other tabs that i'm not sure of) So i dont know if there is foreshadowing or an explanation yet.
Renpy development is very geared towards making visual novels. You could make it do other things, but it is very much not designed for that, I saw someone make minesweeper in it once. But if you do use it for visual novel type things, it handles 99% of it for you.
As for the overarching plot, there is definitely one of those. There are even already bits and pieces of it hiding around. Perhaps try investigating the forest very, very thoroughly? In the end all things will be explained, although whether those explanations are clear is another question.
