No, using similar mechanics to an existing game is not illegal.

Well, no. The organizations that have been hounding the credit card companies, all the way from Collective Shout to the National Center on Sexual Exploitation, are all hard right-wing religious groups.
I'm sorry you don't like hearing it, but the people you support politically are the ones pushing this shit. No amount of you not being happy about it changes it.
Christ, that's a bitch, dude. It's absolutely terrible that they're not communicating with game devs. Not sure why SFW devs should trust Itch either, all things considered. Best of luck on this whole matter. When I've got the spare cash, I'll probably try to support you over on Steam. Already did here about a year ago.
I agree with you that some of the girls just... don't seem aggressive enough in how they're presented to be a boss battle. Like... Nile and Misty? I look forward to the date/story content, but they don't feel like they have that *end stage boss* vibe.
I am glad that you're planning to go over the Security Office with a polish pass later. The gameplay is enjoyable, and the the scenes, etc, are great, but it still feels like it's missing something - like it's not as polished as the Nightclub, and I kinda feel like it's because of that lack of explanation of what the place is, why we're guarding it, and why the girls are there every night. And that honestly makes sense, seeing as you were basically starting over whole cloth when you made it.
Looking forward to what you guys have coming up over the coming months. You've already come a long way since you started this project all those years ago. You should seriously be proud of all you've accomplished.
So you're planning two new levels/game modes. That suggests that not every girl will have their time to be a boss battle. And that's perfectly understandable. Gotta stop somewhere, and four full game modes isn't too shabby.
I am wondering, though. Will we get any sort of storyline for the security office/old club? Like, an explanation of why it's run-down to the point that weeds are growing through cracks in the foundation? I feel like that's a little needed. Right now, it just seems like we're hanging out in a dilapidated building for no reason except we were told to.
Gameplay already takes priority. But they are telling a story. In order for that story to make sense, certain things have to happen in a certain order.
As for the *porn* aspect? It's very common for porn to have to be unlocked. It has *long been* orthodox for porn to have to be unlocked, going all the way back to the OG visual novels of the 90s. The fact that some games don't do it doesn't mean it's wrong to do it.
