WOW THAT WAS QUICK, SO COOL... im glad u like the game alot🥲u got yuritron down so good in this pic, i love how emo and brooding she looks... i like how her mouth is drawn too, makes me think of Gitaroo Man ^_^ these lady drawings are even cuter than the first, its really fun seeing him with his gun especially... i think i have a huge bias for cute things handling firearms... the boss perched on his shoulder is the cutest thing ever too wow... i bet theyre best friends.
oh my gosh i think you are the first person to draw fanart of lady and i dont think i can explain how happy that makes me.... you got the essence down so good in both drawings, i really like how you drew yaoitron with the disembodied eye, its really cool to have the fanart reflect the story somewat... i like the background you used on his picture too, both drawings way way too cute..
ok this is really unrelated but a few months ago i saw jerma played your game and i was so bedazzled like wow the world really is so small cuz thats literally oomf who drew a beautiful dazzling picture of yaoitron one time.... i really want to know how you felt about jerma playing your video game bcs i keep thinking about it
idont wanna be mean to dev because its very understandable to not make a perfect piece of fiction and youre not really obligated to for a silly little game but idrk where else to spill my thoughts so i gotta just throw it all out in the sea of this comment section if thas chill. spoilers ofc
i think my #1 feelings on this game is just feeling very mixed about its thematic concurrency... or lack thereof..? it kinda feels like it wants you to believe it has something to say but i cant glean anything. its kind of all over the place with all of the ideas it throws at the wall. its trying really hard to make you feel guilt for causing harm to harvey but lacks agency for the player even in situations where choices couldve been implemented (i.e. stopping entirely when he begs, moving back to a previous tool, accepting the bribe). mkaes it very difficult to actually feel any remorse for your actions. it doesnt explore the idea of the player also not having any choice in a linear piece of fiction either like some meta games do, which couldve excused that kind of plothole.
harvey as a character also just kinda... confuses me? i just dont think his characterization is very airtight. at one point he sort of implies that this is some sort of power he shares with the worth of generating wealth from physical contact and even moreso when unsolicited and violent, but at other points he just acts like the money is just a stash under his stall he can pull out at any time. why are you distributing your riches like this? making strangers poke and tickle you? what are you, some kind of pervert?
his degree of agency feels inconsistent and not properly established. never able to so much as run away from you, but is able to grab you and later challenge you in court, etc (being able to grab and attack you in the first place as a legitimate threat completely nullifies the whole idea that youre just 'playing the game' and not a part of this world who has the reap the consequences). not to mention its difficult to feel immersed in the concept of 'i am fictional but my pain is real oh god help me' here because his reactions are so downplayed and unrealistic. like what do you mean he isnt already begging for his life by the point that i smash him in the head with a hammer 5 times? how is he not dead from the 20th stab wound after extensive prior torture?
its kind of funny how the narrative wouldve also benefitteed from the game nerfing its click-grind in this respect, because on a gameplay level its definitely also an issue as the game being so difficult to play without an autoclicker is very problematic when it has replay value in its multiple endings. any given playthrough lasting more than 5-10 minutes is an unfortunate disability on the behalf of the game (besides the good ending which i understand lasting longer, but its definitely ridiculous for it to take longer than 20 minutes to achieve it considering theres nothing of substance to it besides 1 hour of nonstop clicking which is certainly one way to develop carpal tunnel.). these questions are worthwhile in a game where its constantly beckoning you to treat your actions with weight. i promise im not cinemasinsmaxxing here its just that these plotholes and inconsistencies really add up in a narrative driven game like this. i do wish the game was more fleshed out and understood what it wanted to say and the world harvey inhibits more lucidly.
ultimately though a lot of these issues can only really be resolved by basically 'keeping the story in your brain oven for longer' so i dont blame them for being present if the game was just made in like a month or so.
ah i should definitely clarify that i have no issues with erotic content, i enjoy it too 😅 i mightve come off as a bit of a prude in my previous message, whoops. i just think the realism is definitely more thematically appropriate for your VN.
if i were you, i wouldnt worry too much about the immediate metrics for the game at all. on itch io, gaining support is a lot more slow burn and you can expect to accumulate it over the course of several years. since this game just released right before 2024, i imagine theres still lots of time for it to garner attention. just saying from my own experience, since my own itch io projects had almost no fans or anything in the first 2 years and only now is reception starting to build up to something somewhat substantial. most games tend to still recieve comments and downloads overtime years after release, after all, so you just have to be patient before your VN makes its mark on the world. hope that makes sense.
i definitely figure this VN requires some background context about korean luxury culture, im glad that i knew a little bit about it going into it. i hope that in the extended VN it might be explored further as to why Callum is so desperate to feel like he needs to get what he deserves. i find those fixations and hangups of his to be a really interesting characterization.
i also appreciate being able to play a furry VN that doesnt shy away from adult themes/sex but isnt just pandering to the audience with erotic smut.
