Usually it takes me a couple of hours to get into these games. But you sir got my attention in 10 minutes.
No time wasting in getting into the sandbox element. The character models are fantastic. You're not afraid of showing older people having wrinkles and not being 100% perfect. Yes some might say its uncanny valley but they would be hypocritical as almost ALL VNs have that affect.
I really hope you stick with this and come to completion. This really is a standout, not just in terms of visuals but also the story and world building.
That's what a "roadmap" is; It's what a developer plans will be for the future of the game. This is the first time I've seen someone confuse "roadmap" for "guide" or "hints" lol
So I just got to the end of 0.05 and I must say, despite some reservations, I really do hope to see this game fully finished.
The presentation are, for this genre, amazing, with some fantastic camera movements and angles I didn't know were possible. The world design is well done and this is actually were some of the humour that does work is found, as it's either goofy enough to be funny or is naturally amusing.
Though not fully finished, the sandbox element will be amazing. It has a lot of potential and could be a time consumer.
The character design is good (the MC is a dork but also has some cool moments and doesn't look like someone who should be punched.) And the ladies look fantastic. Linda Mae is a standout.
And there is some funny scenes (the toilet stall is well done) and heartwarming too. And the dialogue is not too verbose, which is a godsend.
Now, there is some bad. The breaking 4th wall with "the writer" were wretched. Whenever "it" appeared, I clicked as fast as I could to skip. Now I'm aware some like it so an option to not see these scenes would be best (or to fast forward, without missing other dialogue). But as it is, it's not a deal breaker, just something that stops the game having fun
Also, some of humour comes across as trying too hard, as some memes miss the mark or the self-references get old real fast (like the whole "this sounds straight out of a visual novel" gag for example) and pointing something out as "cliche" but going through with it is also pointless.
As it is though, I do highly recommended trying this out. The good make up for any misgivings and I do hope it gets fully fleshed out.
Finally! A game of this type where you can customize your character's skin colour. For someone that isn't white, this is a huge plus for me. Helps with my waifu immersion ^_^
Love the visual art style during the scenes. Well animated for what's only a use of a few frames.
Character design for the females is fantastic.
Really I think you're on the right track. I think it's too early for me to give any criticisms or suggestions (aside from having an option to auto pass or auto fail the "challenge" from Angie) so I'll wait till you've released a lot more to give my full verdict, but i do love the potential. Keep it up.
Last time I played this was three months ago and I was impressed by the potential. Now it looks like you've really progressed, so looking forward to dip in.
As alluded to, my last save is 3 months ago (guessing 0.1.0)...Do I have to start a new game (and even if I don't have to, should I anyway?)
Despite updates having seemingly stopped (or at least slowed down drastically) what is here is enough to highly recommend.
The renders are really good, the story is decent, the characters are good. The fact that the developers decided not to show your full face is a great choice as it helps with immersion. The voices are better than they have any right to be and there is quite a bit of variety in what you can do, making it not as linear as it could be. And of course the lewd scenes are great (and thank God the developers put in a gallery.)
Hopefully in the (close) future there are more constant updates as this game deserves it
Usually I glaze over the story but with this one, thanks to keeping dialouge sharp and to the point, I actually read each line.
Allowing the player to be male and female is a smart choice. Some may take issue you can only be a lesbian if you decide to play as female, but personally, I think this is a correct choice.
Characters are really great (I love Jada. She's such a hot rebel minx) and rendered pretty well.
No annoying music and good renders make things even better.
I hope the gallery gets updated soon and that there will be some noises for the sex scenes. But this is worth checking out. I really do hope this is full completed.
I like the potential of the game and what is there so far. It's like a lewd PS1 game :D I hope you are able to eventually finish this game as it'd be a shame not too :)
Hot Damn...Just when it was getting good (or more so) it ends :(
EXCELLENT animation and the use of partial voicing really works, with the voices suiting the characters and not grating. Also, good job on not having too much text, just getting the point across. Character design is also great.
Saving is kind of weird/broken. I guess the game operates on a checkpoint system and the last save sends you back to the beginning of it, instead of where you saved. It'd be nice if it was the latter. Also hope there will be muitple saves unless the game is extremely linear.
I do like how you've made most section repeatable so that players don't have to slog through to get to that point just to see a different scene.
Hold on...First choice, if I act rude and say I'll accept the job offer if I can have sex with her, she kills me. Next choice, the ONLY correct choice leads the player to shagging her...Erm okay lol.
