Just copy pasting the same critique I laid over on F95 here. Again, I like the game and *actively* search it up to see if there are updates, so I *am* harsh but I'm also honest and saying it because I want this to be a better game. Also, put it somewhere else than MEGA, it's over the 2 GB limit and I'm 1000% sure more people haven't downloaded the new version because of it.


- Way to much quantity over quality. There's a bunch of girls, and i connected with the science lady and maybe her priest sister (bad sign that I don't remember any of the names). Look at the games that actually have success with Koi: Lustful Sin, Corrupted Kingdoms, Changr, Dimension 69, all of them are *quality over quantity*. Don't just drop a whole bunch of sex scenes each update, give 1-2 characters a quest and then focus on them, preferably not just using Koi's pre-configured sex motions (look for scenes/animations from other people at Bepis damnit)

*This is renpy, each girl has 1 chance to make an impression, if your character doesn't hook the mfs in their first scene, people (me really) WILL just skip all the fucking dialogue*

- Bad Presentation: The UI is very bland without any styling, main menu card is super bland, way too templated face with little variety (like dude, just get some cards from bepis and switch some things around, instant improvement). But worse of all is the lighting and the cinematography. Go look at the Koikatsu Discord for some scenes to get some good lighting going, and see Lustful Sin's and Dimension 69 sex scenes for better camera angles.

For the UI, look at Changr for example. The Koi part is just mostly basic (default sex animations, mostly default faces/characters), but the UI, the gimmick, and the cinematography hard carry the thing. Even though it hasn't had a real update in months people still talk on their itch and Discord because it has *good presentation*.

- This is more a suggestion, but more fun encounters would be great. Give me some different outfits, creative scenarios, hidden sex, threesomes (I know they are a bit hard on Koi, more a suggestion), other forms of mind control, play around a bit.

Thank you for the game, I like it, but you are leaving a lot of easy/"do it once and never touch it again" stuff on the table. It can easily shoot out to a real 7 or 8/10 just with a bit of these adjustments (for comparison, Corrupted Kingdoms is the 10/10 gold standard in my book).

I agree Corrupted Kingdoms is on another level when it comes to presentation. Just wanted to say that quickly. As for everything else:

-Don't worry. I realized the mistake with the over 2GB as it turns out the PC version accidentally had two copies of the game included in it's file so I fixed that and now it's only 2.59 GB and I'll try to keep it around that range.

-I agree that I focused far too much on quantity over quality in the last two Acts of the game, which is why ever since Act 3, I've been trying to slow down on the amount of girls and put more focus on the story which you will be able to see by playing the Special Act when talking with the girl (Dasla) in the park at night after Act 3 starts, as well as a character (Kaori) you can talk with in the morning at school after starting Act 3 which has both stories being far more focused on characters and putting sex scenes more on the side to develop the characters which I hope to keep up in the future. And while I don't plan to fully remove the Koi animations that are already available, I have also been looking into other animation mods as well as custom animations created by Koi creators so there should be more unique ones in the future.

-For the presentation, I can't really do much about that at this point when it comes to the UI. Cause if I changed it too much, it'd be jarring for players who've already gotten this far. So there's not much I can do there. And as for the scenes themselves, I have started using a few scenes made by Koi creators to add a bit of flare here and there, but for the most part I keep things the way they are because like with the UI, it's how things started so while there might be extra detail for a scene or two, they probably won't change that much. However, I hope the improved story I'm working on will make up for it.

-Different outfits would be hard to implement at this stage in the game, so I can't really say if I'd add something like that. But even so, I could potentially add it in the future parts after Part 1 is done but we'll have to see.

I apologize for the game being a bit repetitive, and trust me when I say, I wanna make this game better with each update. It's just that since this is my first game, I'm still learning how to make it all work. And I hope you can be patient with me because just as the game's improving, I am as well (which if you want a good example of my improvements, I'd recommend checking out the Saimin App Overlord Demo I released which is where I really show off my improved story-telling and the UI is slightly different from what I normally use making it more unique) so I appreciate the feedback, and I hope you enjoy us diving further into characters as well as enjoy Act 3 which compared to the other 2 acts which were kinda all over the place, is a massive breath of fresh air in terms of how it's presented, as well as potentially introduces a new ability for our protagonist that will start to help us learn more about what his powers truly are.

Don't apologize man, I'm just saying what was on my mind. Haven't played Saimin App yet but just from the pictures I can tell it's what I'm talking about, 1000% checking it later. Also, about the size, you really need to put it somewhere else other than MEGA, their download limit is 2GB a day. Not super aware if GoFile or others charge a fee but definitely something to look into.

Stay Koi-ing (I myself will soon enough, so don't slack or my game will be more popular)

I'm happy to report the upload method has been improved and you no longer have to go through MEGA to download the game!
