Fair enough on the teenager thing. As MC has matured I've been using it less, but just to confirm, everyone in the party is 18+ and that will never change. I just wanted more of a coming-of-age and maturation theme, going from kind of a dumb/idealistic teenager to a real hero who has gone through the trials and tribulations needed to burn away their past and forge them into someone better than they were.
I'm glad you like Sarah's sprite, I just have mixed feelings about some aspects of it since I didn't quite get what I asked for lol. Stuff like her fellatio/missionary CGs make me happy since they more accurately represent her design. The overall difference isn't large, granted, but it's hard not to notice that stuff after years of working with her.
No need to apologize, I appreciate honest feedback and am happy to talk about the game. I just try to be completely honest (but not a dick) discussing this stuff. I really am glad you're enjoying the game and I'll keep at it, unless anything awful happens we're still gunning for another update in late April to follow up the last giant one!
