Does Katari have any scenes that don't involve the MC subbing? Maybe there are plans for something other than "MC is my bitch" at some point? I've done the meeting for drinks on Sithyrya in the seedy bar after Warlord, and the following scene on the beach only had sub version available.
Edit: Also, my Chip lost the romance-related dialogue branch after the update, what's up with that?
It was what happens *after* the apology dialogue that puzzled me: him popping up when Dan leaves your apartment while mentioning your practicing being a fake couple - the kicked puppy look and all. Like the game assigns him as a default Dan counterpart no matter what MC does (whether you do or don't go to clear the air in the previous part, he is still there to make you feel like a dick))).
That was one big and juicy update, love the different POVs and OMG, the plot twist at the end! And the cameo!
A logical hiccup I noticed. I understand that Dan definitely has some strong feelings about MC no matter what, so his hurt behavior is understandable (I went with Cass first). But the way Tariq acted on Dan's route was wild. I made sure to never pick anything even remotely flirtatious when interacting with him (limited as our interactions were), and he still acted all betrayed for not being picked as a plus one. Whether he is delusional or entitled, idk, either way, it wasn't a good look for a character.
(Btw, does only Cass have finished nsfw scenes atm?)
The main thing I like is the variability here. There is a significant difference between the Project's and R's rescue routes. R's (with them alive) has scenes with RO's, quite well fleshed-out in comparison to the brief exchanges from Project's route (where they are dead) or the absence of any meaningful interaction in case where R is alive.
I wonder if that will be balanced out in future updates for those who went with Project and abstained from offing Rohan?
Honestly, I didn't even notice the lack of possessiveness in the last version. Probably because the certain plot point where it is shown best wasn't added? Hard to say.
(The job orders work fine for me).
A typo? If you go with Rex to the bar, the eldred woman he is dating is referred to as "the cuverian that flirted with him earlier in the mess hall".
The new body type looks nice and hot. Won't use it myself (I'm all for short and thin type representation in games), but variety is always good!
Wonderful update, I appreciate LI's POV a lot. Should we expect more of those in the future? That would be nice. I want to learn more about them - and other characters and how they act when the Crown is not around.
(I don't remember where to send bug reports, but I've noticed that if R. uses your title instead of name, "my Crown" is always lowercase, even at the beginning of a sentence).
Hey, thanks a lot for the update, I feel ever more excited about the upcoming game now))
I wanted to clarify something about the MC physical descriptions, though (not a native speaker, mind). There were at least 2 options mentioning feminine breasts, 1 for a flat chest, and the option that I got confused about. "It's flat now but probably won't always be" - does it mean a possibility to get more defined pecs for a masculine chest, or is it also about growing breasts? Because if I have a cis male MC, I'd rather avoid an unpleasant surprise further down the line by picking a wrong option. Maybe a more specific wording would help?
Guys, you are amazing and I'm a big fan of your work, but I'm currently replaying a second route in a row and can't help but say that you really need to get more proofreading done. Please.
The most persistent thing is use of "quite" instead of "quiet", and there was a word "shits" insrtead of "sheets" in Ren's sex scene (a jaw-droppingly good scene, that) just to name a few.
This is lovely on many different levels. The music is pleasant, the sprites are cute, the backgrounds are vibrant, the animation is unexpected, but somehow works. Not much to comment on with the story, atm, but there is potential.
The demo is a little wobbly, though. I keep getting paired up with both Amaris and Sabre at the same time, with the same situations playing out 2 times in a row, Sabre 1st, then Amaris, ending with their sprites overlapping. Also, after peeking at Gilbert's route preview we're given a choice to watch Estelle's, and it plays regardless of whether yes or no is picked.
Ok. It was well worth the hype, the wait (on Steam!) and the money. I am so, so pleased with what I got)) It's just so beautiful and atmospheric.
One thing that bothers me - is there going to be a guide at some point? The regular endings seem easy enough to reach, I've got 2 good and 2 bad plus 1 non-ending (not enough affection or a tie)... but there are still locked images in the gallery. And not a good ending for Harun in sight (the scene I got with him on sultan's route was definitely horrible, so I counted it as a bad end).
It's difficult to count how many times I had to deal with disappointment when events of an interesting story suddenly escalated into a climax and everything ended far too early for my liking - just as things were beginning to actually get good.
I feel like I need to say this now, because at this point this turn of events is the only possibility that really worries me. Because everything is so great, it'd be unrealistic to hope for things to keep being this great for long, you know?
Just saying. I hope like hell you are not going to wrap things up too soon.
