Game is surprisingly good and also has lot’s of content. It toke me 50 hours to unlock everything on my first play through. Probably if I play game through again but differently I’m going to run in to lot’s off different stuff and spend another 50 hours or almost.

Game raised few questions that came in to my mind.

Questions will contain spoilers finish the game before reading. Seriously spoiler warning.

-Is there going to be heart cards for some minor female named npc’s that don’t have them at the moment? Hanna, ninja girls or their Sensei for example. Now after I thought about it there are lot’s of other female characters with names that don’t have hearth cards like Ami, military girl from future and those minotaur girls. Any way are the named minor npc’s going to stay as they are or are some of them possibly going to get cards in the future?

-Are there going to be any dragon girls added at any point? I guess a dragon girl or woman assuming it has some traits or powers of a dragon should be member of a fey council. So deducing from that they probably are not going to be added at any point. Still it does not hurt to ask.

-Gwen is probably only active character in the story that seeks players attention instead of just sitting around and waiting you to run in to her in the story or when you check how she is doing. Is this behavior indication of how characters act when they have 5 hearts in their card or is this unique behavior to her?

-I think with Kana and Emma and with few others player does not need to use control, awaken or shatter to get hearts up to 4. Option comes up but you can just ignore it. Is there going to be any difference in latter interaction if character has gotten hearts up to 5 without need for Awaken or is 5 hearts only possible with Awaken.

-I noticed that Eldrich faction loves to use mind control and kill people also lady in the water has some similarity to deep ones. There’s some body horror in what happened to Chloe as well. While roaming through Cosmic horror material are you going to use some other stuff from there? There's lot’s of stuff in there that is not sexy and it really cannot be made sexy but it’s perfect for setting the stakes.

-It’s not really that difficult to make more money in the game than player is ever going to need. Is there going to be any kind of useful money sink that gives some sort of benefit after every structure and update is bought or is money going to be irrelevant number that goes up in the late game? Also how is suncream mark that I’m wasting money when I have enough money to buy 20 colleges XD.

-There was mention that other factions are going to start interfering when players “kingdom” grows. I have bought and updated everything and have not noticed anything thus far apart from fight between criminal boss and Lily. I finished organization mission last because I wanted to see how they would interfere with my growth but I did not notice anything thus far that was directly linked with wealth growth. Most active enemy force was Eldrich that spammed my dream with same nightmare over and over again until I finished Quarina quest line. Did I somehow accidentally manage to deal with correct quest lines in correct order to nullify any opposition before it started or is it a feature that is going to be implemented in latter patches.

Game version I finished was alfa 10.9

Hey, I'm glad you liked the game! :) I'll do my best to answer your questions, but some things tie into later plotlines so I won't give out spoilers for future content stuff.

1. Side girls won't have heart cards, no. Those are only for the Main Girls. Part of the fun of a sandbox game is discovery and sharing finds with other players, so the game won't hold your hand in every area.

2. I have no plans to add dragon girls, largely because there's already too many characters in the game :P However, it has been requested before so I may add a dragon girl scene to the Nexus, possibly.

3. Most girls won't seek your attention simply because that would become incredibly chaotic and quite frustrating for players very quickly. Some people are already annoyed by Gwen's texts and things, so having another ten or so characters doing that would be a nightmare for them. You'd have to potentially click through eight separate scenes every time the in-game time changed ;)

4. There will be no difference in the character's storyline if you used awaken or just romanced them. Aide characters that you have a choice of awakening or shattering will make a difference though.

5. I'm a huge fan of Lovecraft's work, so there's deliberate cosmic horror references in the game and there will certainly be more to come. Though I'm not trying to make CK into a horror game so there shouldn't be anything too stomach-churning in there ;)

6. Yes, there will be more money sinks - eg. Items you can buy at the bar to unlock dates/events with the girls. Most of the money sink options will be added during the final passthrough of the game, but a number of them will be put in as I go.

7. The interfering is going to happen in Act Three :) I don't want to put it in Act Two because it could badly mess with people trying to do the girls' storylines or follow the main story.

Hope that answered all your questions! If you have any more, or want clarification on anything I said, just let me know :)

Thanks. Good luck with your project. Thus far it has been really fun to play.

Almost forgot do you have other earlier projects like this I can go and check out while wating for next update.

I may have a suggestion with Gwen like attention seeking behaviour. If it fits personality of some other girl when they have full 5 hearts how about making it optional. Give players option to turn it on or off with girls that have that behavior. Also don't make player feel like they are the bad guy for turning it off. Just something like times seem peaceful if you feel lonely contact me or Elritch are on my ass currently I have to focus on that problem but I promise to be more in touch when I have more time. Problem with Gwens attention seeking is she is thrown at the player if player wants it or not. (Note. This should not be changed she fills obsessive attention seeking archetype perfectly. Also she is warning what players powers may do to people if main character gets carried away.) Still if it is manageable and players can control traffic of messages to degree they want. I don't think making some girls more active would necessarily be a bad thing. Also if someone does not like attention seeking girl is contacting them just turn it off.
