Hello!
I have found this game here 3 days ago and I have to tell you that this is a valuable gem in this category. Usually these type of games are in 3D, but your game has beautiful 2D Anime style, which is very rare and uniqe (the other 2D dating/feeding game what I have seen is "Project: Quimbly", but your game has much better visual style).
Let me give you some feedback, and some ideas what could make your game even better:
1 - Technical improvement suggestions:
- Add bulk purchase option in the grocery store (e.g. buy 10 cakes with one click)
- Add save game function to manage separate save files (useful for testing alternative storylines and game updates).
- Remove or limit "Replay mode" cheating. When we start a new game, it allows us to go with easy mode, even if we haven't played the game before.
- Sometime the text size become very small in some conversations. It's total random, but usually occures in the end game. (No issue with letter size in the early and middle game.)
- Textbox and picture separation is needed. Sometimes textbox is merged into the picture during conversation (common in the end game that layers are mixed).
- Feeding conversation speech bubble should disappear when we click to end feeding. If you don't close it manually, then it's still visible at the main screen.
- Please reconsider money management. If you can work once per day, it's very hard to go above 2000 cash as you keep spending money in the grocery store. Currently the expensive items (10k cash or more) can be tested only in cheating "Replay" mode which is not good. It's impossible to collect 100k for the Lamp in normal game mode, so we have no chance to get Afirah.
2 - Gameplay improvement ideas:
I think it would be useful to create a different Talk menu for the girls without romantic relationship (no dating option, just feeding) like:
- Plant Girl. Currently she is in the main menu screen. She could be added to the new Talk menu with different feeding options (e.g. plant nutrients in addition to water). Some outfit on her would be also great. Random interactions also recommended.
- Dark Elf. Very good end game, but some more early-mid game content and interactions with her would be great, and reveal her weight in each stages.
- Claire. Amazing story, but we are involved mainly in the end game. Need some more interactions with her in the early - middle game, and explain the story in more depth with her boyfriend and his expectations. (reveal weight stages if possible).
- Sherry and the 2 blondies storyline is also good. Some more story elements for early and middle game would be great to see her progress in more details. Maybe the other blondies and boyfreind can be also included, especially at the beginning to see their story in more depht. (add lbs numbers if possible).
- Sarah. A quick storyline would be great.
In the non romantic storyline feeding was implemented for Emma and Afirah, but if you could add it for the other non dating girls, that would be great. Maybe add dating options later for Sherry and Claire as alternative storyline depending on choice. (e.g. one time choose in a conversation which could start to an exciting optional storyline).
There is plenty of room for early-middle game story content for specific characters (e.g. Claire, Sherry, Emma) which could add more flavour to their story. If you like any of these ideas and you would like to implement some of these, then it would be super awesome.
3 - Summary
This game is amazing, we definitely need more Anime dating/feeding games like this. Not sure how many new content will you add to this game, but maybe you can use this game engine (with similar mechanism) to create a second game with a different theme (e.g. farm management theme with adorable animal girls like Chiroki - e.g. cow/pig/cat girls, etc) - Just an idea.
Very cute characters, brilliant work, excellent story, keep it up!
