Loving the game so far, only just finished v0.2, but I've got to ask, is this game not a harem novel? In order to get the first scene with ayase, I had to somewhat reject Miharu. or am I just missing something?
Either way, quality is great, characters well written and the story is interesting. Good work
EDIT: finished the game, and I just want to say that so far Chika is an excellently written character, and I hate peoples obsession with virginity. Thanks for such a diverse cast.
I think you misread the room. Vanessa is mostly right. The entire plot is moving towards an anti establishment narrative, she was just a bit ahead of the curve being a student activist. I think that if you go into this hoping for a sexist, reactionary, anti-woke story, you're gonna be disappointed. Also I just really don't get how she is annoying, unless its just "I disagree with her politically", in which case the problem is def with you.
I think the closest to free use you've had in the game so far is the scene where you have sex with chloe while gaming versus Alice, when she kinda just starts without much worry about the situation. although funnily enough the mc is the one being free used in that case (which is actually a nice change of pace) In its purest form its casual sex at any time around the house, with consent given in advance instead of in the moment. Could be a fun kink for a specific character, or just a byproduct of how the repeatable sex scenes work :)
Great to hear that y'all have kinky plans, and that you're enjoying the process! Can't wait for v0.15! (except I can, since its planned to release in november which is really not that long a wait :) )
Yes I checked it and its a Class I Frequency 3, 0 Octahedral geodesic polygon. Naming gets messy quickly once you get to geodesics https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Octahedral_geodesic_polyhedron_03_00.svg
Looking at it again, I think its a geodesic octahedron. Its a geodesic polygon instead of a regular polygon like a dodecahedron, not all faces are equal sized triangles, the ones in the center are right angled triangles instead of equilateral triangles, so you get a pattern of semi squares and semi hexagons. Thanks for indulging my love of polyhedra, and even more thanks for this incredible novel!
excellent game, the humor is top tier, writing is excellent and I even grew to like the voice acting which I did not expect. 1 major complaint: during the english lesson, that was not a dodecahedron, a dodecahedron has 12 pentagon sides. Geometry nerd in me couldn't ignore it. Jokes aside, excited to see what the future of this projekt brings!
An unexpectedly great game! I prefer non sandbox visual novels but it was handled perfectly well. Great characters, love that they have some sense of sexual independence. generally hate mind control plots but yuki is a great implementation of it. Can't wait to see more kink oriented stuff, planned tags look great, maybe some free use content as well?
Hope y'all keep enjoying making this, great work!
Hey, that was a very promising start! All the characters are great, the script is very well written despite some grammatical errors, visually it looks fantastic, the humor is well done and the genuine character moments hit well, Serahs little moment was really nice. Also wasn't expecting to like Jace as much as I do but he's great, and pretty cute. Kinda giving queer vibes (maybe even transmasc?), and I would be interested in an optional LI path with him. But im aware most people dont come here for that kind of content, and I'll probably like whatever direction you go with even if it is purely friendly. All in all, I'll definitely be keeping an eye on this one, you did a great job with this first part!
Loved this one, really hope to see more. I posted a review with most of the praise, so heres a couple of suggestions:
For Eloise: Breeding kinks are very much a mental thing, so the dirty talk can be more than half of the fun. Having the mc engage more with the talk would be what someone like eloise would enjoy. I'd also love to see her voyeuristic side explored more.
For Serah: I love the inclusion of the collar and the discussion of consent in free use relationships, but it would be even better if it was actually present in game when you interact with her around the house, cause now it kinda seems like you're violating the 1 rule you've set. It'd also be nice if you could interrupt her musical sessions, like during that one scene.
Besides that I think you're totally on the right track, so I trust in the development to expand on everything great here.
Ehhh the constant use of fag, talking about how they shouldnt think about it since its illegal. He's definitely not the worst type by any means, he thinks his friend is gay yet he's still very nice and supportive, even loving to them. It's just a weird amount of implicit homophobia, which is a real thing even among generally good people because of social conditioning, the thing that makes it weird is that CJ sorta seems immune to social conditioning in most other ways. Also, he looks like the queerest dude alive so there is a bit of projecting there. Again, its not terrible, just a bit unnecessary in my opinion. It could even have been a really fun dynamic for him to think Jamie is gay, and be overly supportive about it, while everyone else knows the truth. I'd argue you'd get better jokes out of that than just the constant "don't be a fag".
Only going into it this deep because the game is great tho, most other avns never touch the subject or are frequently way worse about it. The only one in my memory that did an A+ job on it is realm invader, highly recommend it!
I have to say its really funny for all the characters to keep talking about cjs height, only to find out he's more than an inch shorter than me. He aint beating my twink allegations
Whats kinda less funny is the CONSTANT homophobia from CJ. It feels out of character too, for such a nice, empathetic, dumb guy.
Hey, just read your July post, I just want to say that this game has been an absolute joy to play, there is so much to love. The characters are really well written, the humor is fantastic, the effort into animation and editing is outstanding. As a queer person, I love how you handle and present the queer aspects of the game, Noelles coming out was great, and Ashley feels like such a sincerely written character. I really hope your situation improves, but I want to say that as someone who's had similar shit, you're dealing with it like a much stronger person. Keep being awesome, and hope to see more from you!
Damn, just finished the current content and I've gotta say, its instantly one of the greats. It seems like the development is taking quite some time, but considering the nearly ridiculous quality, that makes complete sense.
And I do mean quality, on all fronts. The artstyle is very well done, character design is great, but it's the writing and charm that make it a gem. Dialogue is well written, jokes (both in character and more physical/visual comedy) get consistent chuckles, and the story is actually quite intriguing. Elements like the ghost hunting segment, that take quite a bit of commitment to a certain tone, are also done really well, and add a lot to the games identity. The treatment of sexuality, identity and morality is also something that can really hamper my enjoyment of a vn, wether it is disrespectful or borderline sociopathic, as can be seen in a lot of adult vn's, but this game handles it really well. Obviously it differs for the slave route, I've been playing as mr nice guy mostly, but still its nice to get characters with actual moral convictions, who have their own wants and desires.
All in all, a 9/10, and only not a 10 because there's still so much I want to see. A gold star to the developer from me, and I'll be keeping my eye on this.
