That's also what i thought! Didn't saw your comment but i'm glad this is just temporary because it kinda was weird how everyone else got a name lol

Love it so far played the demo before and this is a massive improvement. Just a genuine question why our coworker friend got no name. Just a bit of a nitpick but since she got a detailed picture (not a grey npc shadow) it is kinda strange that she is just "Coworker". Our Boss being called boss makes sense because we dislike him and refusing to even acknowledge his name adds to that. Just mentioning that because for me it kinda was strange and seems inconsistent from an aesthetic point of view. And since she seems like a friend (even if it's just a work friend) just makes the NPC look a bit rude (because of what i explained about the boss). Just a suggestion tho!
Oh the Boss actually even got a name, Jason!
"I’m also concerned that an SFW version could end up cutting a lot of content"
That's definitely more of a writing issue than the actual NSFW option. I would've specified which person has done a good example of that but since this game is like really popular i don't want minors to go check that game out, but it's definitely very possible since it shouldn't really have more dialogue than NSFW related things.
Either way it's a suggestion and at the end of the day whatever the option may be (paywall, NSFW paywall or completely free) those are all valid.
That's cool speaking about support you could also consider if this game is gonna be NSFW to add a price. Just to ensure that a lot of minors don't play it plus some extra support.
Or what also some Developer do is make two version where the SFW is free and the NSFW is paid (just a suggestion since i did read that there might be some)
Regardless good luck!
Yup exactly. It's already very iffy to content farm visual novels since unlike other forms of gaming they are straight forward and just differ by choices if there any. But the fact that this YN ignores the creators wishes multiple times and then just moves on and writes their copy pasted "Good game" under new yandere visual novels with "their" video, which just is there to boost them, is just pure audacity.
It was really interesting so far :O
I really like the writing of the MC i do not really route for her but i definitely cared for her so far (Depending on what dubious consent in the future updates include and if it's her than probably not that much) But it's really interesting seeing a more psychological approach of a yandere and that we are them. Usually i never liked it if the player is the role of the yandere but so far i love it.
Will there be more choices in the first chapter since it would be interesting to see if the MC goes full avoidant after Elias gets to know us. ^^
I see i mostly wanted to give you a perspective if that was the idea then that's the idea. I just wanted to share just in case if the MCs character is supposed to be more realistic. Obviously there is not one way people act but the Mc definitely didn't act like most people but again if that was the plan then i don't find it irky anymore. Either way it's just a perspective neither right or wrong and definitely not trying to tell you how you should write. I'm curious to see what chapter 2 will be like ^^
Just a reminder that this person does not respect artists and has posted games that the creators didn't want them to post without commentary (where winter crows grows) and has posted visual novels for 18+ folks that had very heavy themes like sa but purposefully didn't show the trigger warnings mind you that they mostly have minors who watch.
Exactly as a person who has probably played half of all the yandere games here, plots and certain stuff is always kinda similar especially if you have other similar genres, especially the start of a game and endings too.
I just think playing any game especially one that is much more specific than the usual genre (yandere) is gonna have similarities and there is nothing wrong with that. Kind of like paper's please and there is something wrong with my neighbor who have the same game mechanic but will probably go very different. So this nitpicking is really weird especially since bingzi (like every other yandere creator) has overlapping similarities to other yandere games before theirs lol because nothing is 100% original anyways.
YBF got popular and others wanted to ride that "Yandere Boy is insane and loves you game" stuff.
A start screen looking similar is also a bit of a funny thing to use as a way to compare it because trust me no one cares and you can also have the same start screen because you bought it from someone. If you played a lot of visual novels you will see similarities because again you can buy that from someone. And no one would play it more or less if a start screen looks similar lol
Again you don't really know much yandere content just go to the tag yandere. YBF is popular but they didn't create that trope lol there were many before that and during that time lol.
No idea is original nowadays and again if you actually play quite a few it's the same pattern.
Critic is one thing but again "I also think you got downvoted because you called it a ripoff and clout chasing and that can come off as rude regardless if you didn't meant it that way or said it "feels" doesn't change the fact that you called it that way."
Like you said your review was kinda lazy and accusatory.
Again just an observation intent doesn't equal output.
You don't need to justify whatever to me or get defensive i just gave you a reason why some people disliked you.
Anyways have a good one won't continue the convo further
"There isn't really an age limit in the demo, but maybe 11+?"
Just wanted to tell you that itch.io is for people 13+ that's the rule
Also just wanted to say if it becomes more disturbing and more mature then you should stick to age restriction the whole game will have because it doesn't make sense to advertise for younger audiences if they are actually not allowed to play the game. It can lead to much more younger people playing the whole game which wasn't intended to.
What other devs do when their demo is less mature is just pointing that out but still sticking to the age restriction.
A book for example rated for 16+ won't be less 16+ if not all chapters are as mature it's just the overall story and the fact that if there are mature themes younger people should not read it.
No hate just wanted to tell you that
A lot of yandere or stalking games are similar on basis especially if you just played a few or one.
I also think you got downvoted because you called it a ripoff and clout chasing and that can come off as rude regardless if you didn't meant it that way or said it "feels" doesn't change the fact that you called it that way.
I also know about both of those games (note on everyone: Inform yourself about the ybf dev) and i definitely don't see much correlation to call it that tbh. And i think a lot of fans in that genre do so too or else people would've mentioned it here more in the comments that they got the vibe from that game. Not saying that that would be something bad.
People also got in "That's not my neighbor", "Paper's please" vibes.And there is most likely inspiration taken game mechanic wise, which is not a bad thing either. But they still are different from each other and already have different premises etc. But people also there would be annoyed by people calling it ripoff without recognizing in what different direction both go style wise, story wise etc.
Point is it can come off as accusatory than review (saying what exactly you didn't prefer)
No hate just an observation.
Just a quick note before i play that game
I don't know why you don't post the trigger warning right here on this page or on a "devlog" especially since it says this game is for 18+ in that Trigger warning no hate tho obviously but i just think it's important to elaborate on all that without folks having to download the game especially if it's rated more mature ^^
Again no harm meant i will make a comment about the game itself once i played it i just mentioned it because it helps people who might find it triggering and/or minors to stay away from this game better.
I mean most gen z are already adults just 6 more years and every gen z person will be 18+ in the end of 2030
But obviously you most likely are more around younger communities if you are younger so it's both from a different perspective but the slangs and vtuber stuff is not that uncommon at all in adults you probably notice it more once you are older.
Again not saying it's not reaching a younger audience but millennials are not some ancient folks who don't enjoy slangs or watch certain vtubers lol.
I was also again talking about her community not this specific game's audience
