I really like that you chose to animate things yourselves. It sets the game apart from the sea of other koikatsu games. I was most amazed by the facial expressions in the animations. Some of the animations are just okay, but are still way above what most people can/will do. I look forward to seeing you improving with each release! :)
That's what I gathered from the previews. You should consider hiring someone and switching them out in the future. It can really set your game apart from the rest.
I have a list on that one site (you know the one), of games with custom animations and it's only 6 games long out of the 70+ koikatsu games I've played.
If you ever go back and swap them out, I would love to add your game to that list in hopes that more people will find and play it.
Played the trial. I wanted to like this, but nothing made me want to spend money on it. You get a 5-minute conversation and a small scene with her in the bathroom (no nudity).
There are HUNDREDS of koikatsu Ren'Py games that will give you THOUSANDS of hours of entertainment for FREE, and they are MUCH higher quality than this.
I would love to see another game by this dev using the standard free game with paid early access to updates formula that we all know and love.
Also hope the next one is much higher quality bc this felt pretty weak. Not trying to hate, but that short trial felt thrown together. Hopefully the dev has learned from this one.
I was thrilled when I found out this site has a recommendations page that recommends games based on what you've rated( at least the "Community recommendations" section of it does. The "Fresh recommendations" seems to just be what's trending.).
Sadly my excitement was short-lived... Once I had gone through it a few times, it slowly became entirely bogged down by games I have zero interest in playing. The only way I could possibly get rid of these game recommendations would be to give them a one-star rating, but that hardly seems fair to the dev.
So I'm suggesting Itch add a "Not Interested" button to allow users to remove the game from the recommendation page just as it would a game you've rated.
You should give it a shot! There's a huge market for those kinds of games, and your art style is adorable! When you say you're not good at sex scenes, do you mean the writing? cause there's no way you mean the art.
You might want to create more than just 1 minute's worth of content before releasing a POC. First impressions are important and this just screams "Give me money" without actually giving me a reason to want to.
That aside, I recommend some fairy Onahole action as well as some cumflation, since those are quite rare but pair together really nicely. I look forward to seeing what you release next, and hopefully, it's much more fleshed out.
After playing the demo a bit, I ended up binding the up arrow key to my right click. I highly recommend making that an option in the actual game, as it allows one-handed play.
