Honestly, I am a fan of short fight scenes, they make it so each attacks carries satisfying weight behind it. Like, in a death battle each attack should feel like it can be life/battle ending, like things could end the very next instant, and if foes keep fighting for a very long time it's easy to lose that tension. Short fights also make it believable that no one else has time to notice and intervene. So imo, keep doing what you're doing!
First, please add some download mirrors! If you can't have the game hosted natively on Itch, Mega and Google Drive are very welcome options, at least I don't like sites that give pop-ups after clicks.
Second: please don't be discouraged! Your game is enjoyable, keep making it, and include all you want on it! I would really enjoy avoidable flavors like NTR and all the range haha - some won't, of course, but isn't that the beauty of games? Something for everyone one, and if yours offers just that, then amazing, we need more games like those in the AVN industry! Keep fighting and creating, dev!
You've done more than enough to prove you're an ass man, dev.
Was enjoying it, until it became a bit on-rails with Ashley, no option to turn down spanking her, no option to remain sitting instead of following her...
I also would like to report a bug: I didn't peek on Jade, yet her shower scene still appeared unlocked on my gallery. Also, I don't know if this is a bug or not, but flatering Nicole upon meeting her doesn't net you hearts with her.
I'm sorry for making this a technical comment, because there are many things in the game that I want to praise, and I hope to do so in the future. But I feel you really need to check and improve the way you are programming/coding the game.
Now, for full disclosure, the laptop I own is quite old. However, this is the first AVN I've played on it that has crashed, and multiple times at that. At first it happened during the Miss Rose scene, and I thought it may have been a combination of having music, animation, and sound effects going on at once, however then - the next day for me, so the laptop had time to "rest" and wasn't overheated or anything - it started crashing on the conversation at the Cafe scene. This to me, who knows nothing of programming, makes me think it may be a thing with the way you are making the music loop (like, the first time the track plays, it's fine, but it may start "accumulatinh" loops that make the program collapse, if that makes sense). I'm not one to obsess over graphics, but I have played many games with better ones that do not crash, and even the animations they play run smoothly, so I can only conclude it's an issue with the program. I tend to make a massive amount of save files, and I'm on page 50 for this game, however that has never given me issues on other renpy games, so if that's the issue there may be too many unnecessary information coded into each save? Of course, the game having a virus within its files is also a possibility. I would recommend you check it thoroughly and try to make it kinder on the processing to stop it crashing.
I got the sense - due to the apology scene mainly - that he's acting polite to lull her into thinking he's actually a good guy/repentant, right? Imo that is fine, to have the MC outwardly acting and saying "vanilla" things, but, just as the apology scene goes, his internal thoughts should still be wicked. If him berating Jane to her face on each scene wouldn't be believable, and you want MC to act normal for a time with her, imo he should still totally berate her on his mind every time he sees her haha.
Super valid of you dev, having a child is a life-changing event, and it's understanble if you don't want MC to have to deal with that, or to have any of the heroines deal with that as a consequence of romancing MC either, even in an epilogue type thing. It's your game, and what type of outcomes the characters get is up to you!
Hi, new player here. Currently playing and enjoying it.
However, I would like to report a bug: in the private bath, I hid behind the pillar and didn't peek, so I got no scene there. However, the scene is unlocked in the gallery regardless. I choose to enable lesbian content and did peek at the girls when the two were bathing on first arrival, in case there's an out-of-place variable hiding somewhere for you to check that makes it be unlocked.
One in-game day was indeed too little!
Honestly loving the amount of choices, for the game with the "sister" for example, lesser avns would have had just one choice, on wheter to play or not, MC asking for something spicier automatically, but giving the player two choices, one on if to play, and the other on what to ask after winning, is the level of interaction I want and appreciate, props for it!
As to what to improve, imo you should make so (most) animations don't loop back to the start, but stop once they reach their end point. For example, it's weird to see the "mom" walk out of the bathroom, stop in front of MC, then reapper in front of the bathroom to walk the hallway again. Such animations should just play once, and freze on the last frame until the player clicks.
Loking forward to playing future releases, best of lucks with the game!
EDIT: Also, maybe you should wait until the next release so the game has more content, but consider promoting it on the AVN subreddits!
Solid first release. First time I'm seeing an AVN focus on an idol group, so I'm very interested in seeing what the future holds in store for your story, what subjects you touch on, what you explore/comment on, etc...
The tempo of the game is likely slower than most AVNs, but I think it's fine to have games with different pacings. You deserve a lot of praise for the text effects you employ, I don't think I've ever seen an AVN use so many, so much, it gives the gave its own identity, which is nice.
I found one continuity error, which is that I didn't peek on Alice, yet MC still had a line about seeing her room full of bears and her doing stuff when finding the teddy in the garden. Other than that, my main pet-peev is that it gets tiring seeing "a few minutes later..." so many times. Consider employing other phrases: "a short drive later", "a short walk later", or simply use none and just imply the passage of time.
Best of lucks with development, looking forward to the next release!
Quite an interesting game! Chapter 1 hooked me, and while 2 was also very good, it left me worried in a sense. My favorite part of chapter 1 is how you can act like an absolute menace towards Jane on the very conversation you have with her, so truly, I do not want to have a scene where MC is alone with her, and isn't given the option to plant more insidious seeds on her mind. She went into his room? I want him acting like a bastard. She's doing yoga? Bastard. Driving MC somewhere? Bastard, bastard, bastard! I want each Jane scene to end with her feeling more insecure on if he's right about her.
