Hey, thanks for the chapter.

That said, this texbox needs splitting.

That's probably the shortest, most basic and reasonable blacklist I've seen in a while. Anyone worried about this being too vanilla must be unaware of the many possibilities that lie between vanilla and the items on this list.

As an aside, the list seems agnostic to the existence of many other fetishes that are even worse. Maybe it's a good thing you didn't know or think of those. Not going to go into detail, but there's some sick stuff on the internet that you absolutely don't want to stumble onto, ever.

Well, that sounds like a lot of stupid things are happening. Yes, I'm very observant. ^^

It's times like these where a dev pays the price for using a premade engine. Wish you the best of luck and hope it works out.

It's not "inspired" to copy the story, dialogue and appearance almost entirely. That's called plagiarism.

I just stumbled over a webtoon called "Rooftop Sex King". It's basically the same story with better aesthethics, minus animations.

No idea which one is the ripoff though, or if the creators are related. 

Forced allcaps? Sigh...🙄

Anyway, here's a little feedback:

There's no point in panning or tilting the camera around unless you have a really long video loop. Short fast panning in particular only makes it harder to see what is going on. That's made worse if you cut out parts of the action. If you have to pick between the perfect angle or panning around, always pick the angle. I'd be reworking the shower scene. 

The alley scene is very dark. I guess you're coding this in a dark room where even the slightest contrast stands out, because I had to turn the lights off and max the brightness to see properly. There are a number of ways to make a scene look dark without actually making it darker, like using a bluish light source or adjusting contrast and color levels. Anyway, try checking your renders in daylight. 

The second part of the alley scene has a severe mismatch between movement speed and framerate. It doesn't look fast or forcefull, but rather unnatural and choppy. You don't have to make a movement fast to make it powerful. Focus on getting a smooth acceleration, emphasize windup and impact. That will look more powerful than just going fast. 

Some of the one-time pan shots cut off about half a second too early. For example, after the camera has panned from the legs to the sideboob in the shower, it immediately cuts off before you can actually look at the sideboob. Have it linger a bit, or just continue panning after the optimal point to make sure the optimal point gets more time on the screen. 

That's it for now. Hope it helps, good luck with the game.

Only the very last bit. Try loading an older save, I only lost a few minutes.

That downvoting little shit who is offended by the idea of the barkeep who drugged your childhood friend splattering over the screen... That is the biggest faggot of all.

Let's Gooo!

Time to detox her, and then murder that faggot barkeep...

Wow, this game is amazing - amazingly bad. 

Tons of "choices" with only one option.

No control over your actions whatsoever, in a game themed around power and corruption. 

Misleading options that spit on the rare choices you do get to make. 

For example, I select the option to watch a movie with Myla, but what MC does is mind control and sexually assault Myla, without any chance for me to decide not to do that. Sure, I can pick if I want spaghetti or sushi, but choices that matter? Nah, can't have that. Why have choices at all then? 

And what is with that backwards freeroam? You unlock places by watching events, rather than unlocking events by exploring and interacting with the world? The base layer of the game world, the basis of the MC's existence, is a menu to switch between story and locations? Yeah, that's so immersive, it's the bEsT fReE rOaM eVaR (copied from obvious sarcasm).

This is so anti-immersive and dissonant, I got sick of it before even starting the first chapter, just from the awful intro and that "watch a movie" turning into a SA scene.

Maybe you'll think a few things over for the next update. Or not. That's your choice, and unlike the players, you get the luxury to actually make it. 

Say, are you aware that what rating a dozen games at once does to the feed of people who followed you and others here for info on their games?

I guess I'll be checking back when (if) I randomly remember this game exists.

As long as you're making progress, you'll eventually get there. Even when you're deleting stuff, you are learning, moving closer to writing something that is worth keeping. 

If you ever feel bad about not being fast enough, remember that people like George Martin and Patrick Rothfuss exist - both unable and unwilling to finish their stories after more than a decade of zero progress. 

In regard to lewd scenes, obviously I'd pick as many as possible - NOT! As much as possible, yes. As many as possible, no. Yes, I said that twice. 

It's a flaw in many harem games that as you progress, the story can't develop properly because there are so many girls, each of them having a sex scene every few minutes. So instead of the story steadily ramping up in pace and tension, it peters out into a slow, constantly interrupted trickle. That's unsatisfying when most of the early game was full of story developments. The issue is further exascerbated by the player's... physical limitations for the number of lewd scenes they can enjoy in one sitting, leading them to stop reading to preserve the scenes when they're still interested in more story. It's better to have fewer scenes, but for those to be longer and better fleshed out.

TL;DR: Not necessarily more scenes, but longer, harder, deeper ones. 

That's good to hear, thanks.

Since then, I also found a similar mixup with Claire's lens dialogue portaits, and that Monique's second costume shows Bianca's dialogue portraits under the lens. 

BTW, are there plans for lens versions of the alternative costumes?

Are you aware that the assets for cadet's dialogue portraits are swapped when using the lens? Her angry portrait shows up instead of thoughtful, sad instead of angry, and so on. It's quite immersion-breaking.

I actually thought it would be fixed in this version, but it seems nobody even noticed. 

Also, can we have font options? The current one just doesn't read well due to the lettters extending where they shouldn't. Some letters are also malformed and easily mistaken. For example, I keep reading "Ladet" instead of "Cadet" because the C looks more like an L. The font you had before was much clearer. 

Edit: Screenshots

I do have an idea about that. I think it would be much easier to maintain the collection if you separated out all the abandoned games. I checked out about a dozen I didn't know or remember and almost all were dead. 

Shit, that's a lot. Somehow got one you're missing.

I am talking about reality, not the game. Learn how linear time works, and then learn not to respond to posts that are two years old with "future knowledge" as if that would retroactively change the facts at the time.

Now, it's very obvious that this conversation exceeds your mental capacity despite being quite simple, so I would suggest you go and work on that instead of bothering me.

Bro, learn how linear time and causality work. 

Well, now I have one. Sending you a DM.

7.0-pc, from here on itch. I believe it was the Mediafire download, can't quite remember. I haven't tried multiple downloads of that version.

JoiPlay is updated with the latest free release from Nov. 2024, which should be able to handle Ren'Py 8.3.3. 

I tried looking at the code, but all I could figure out is that I don't understand Renpy folders (00iconbutton.rpy isn't even in the /game folder like the error says, but /renpy/common), and that python syntax is too different from C++/Java for me to even guess what could be wrong with line 42. 

I've reluctantly switched to the Android version for now. It works, it's fun, but well... you know how you fit it into 1.4GB. Either way, don't worry too much. 

I'm getting this error on startup, no option to skip.

Edit: 2 months later, I have found the solution for this particular JoiPlay error, on a Chinese forum. 

In the JoiPlay launcher, longpress the game, then tap "edit" and set the type to "Renpy (python2)". If it still doesn't work, try the other options. 

Oh, but DD's method worked fine, just adding this because I had it pop up on several other games too, and it might be useful to someone. 

Finally, more story content! Time to replay so I'm up to speed when the update hits...

In that case, I'd suggest using JoiPlay to run the PC version. Sure, both seasons add up to roughly 10GB so far and are liable to get even bigger, but you can have both installed at the same time without APK limits messing things up. As a bonus, you also get better image quality.

Been my MO ever since I got myself a 2TB external SSD to back up all my VNs and LNs.

No, what you're showing here is more than a language issue. You don't even comprehend your own words, can't retain information, your logic is more broken than unpatched Skyrim, and you throw name-calling tantrums like a child. 

Sorry for not noticing earlier, but I'm not going to waste my time and compromise my dignity by arguing with a mentally handicapped person.

Have a good day.

God, I've been arguing with an imbecile. 

I mean, I knew you weren't smart, but I didn't realize you are a special needs person.

Have a good day, buddy.

Your approval is not required for me to post feedback on Stawer's comment section. That's what the comments are for. 

If you're too soft and can't handle it, just look away. Mabe move to North Korea, you'd fit right in there.

I pity your reading comprehension, and your arrogance. 

I explained sufficiently for anyone who can comprehend basic english. If that doesn't include you, that is okay. I don't care if you understand, or everyone else for that matter. The criticism is directed at Stawer, not some random guy with an overinflated ego and a prospensity for insulting people. 

Your "altitude" is definitely not one to emulate. 

All you do is make up lies and fling insults while talking about respect you do not have, even for yourself.

Do you not understand linear time? Stawer displayed bad storefront manners, THEN I criticized him for it. Nothing I said was rude, either. 

Also, valid criticism does not make me a "detractor". If anything, you saying that makes you a detractor, because you're then implying that Stawer cannot be criticized even when he shows bad manners. 

If you had a smidgen of respect for Stawer, you would not be offended by me holding him to basic standards of business. And yet, here you are, subjecting Stawer to your insultingly low expectations.

Also, stop projecting. All you do when you make things up about me is tell everyone what you hate about your own life.

It is a breach of etiquette, and also spamming my itch feed with things that are not related to the itch marketplace or game development.

Not doing that is the most basic of professional manners. I don't expect the average user here to have manners or value professionality, but I will hold Stawer to a higher standard than that.

Well, you're the one sounding angry here.

Why does it enrage you when I rightly criticize Stawer for turning his storefront into a mess?

You're going overboard with the meta stuff. All good things in measure. 

Remember that you're still a real dev talking to real people, players and patrons, who might be worried seeing a dev losing the distinction between the reality of the marketplace and his fictional narrative.

Also, keep in mind that lying about a product, aka fraud, is a crime back here in reality. It's safest to keep the narrative in the game, or at the very least, off the storefront.

Hm, so they didn't fix the NTR by the dream alter ego that the Fox keeps secret from him. Pass.

Sound? Sounds good, as long as lewd noises have their own volume slider separate from BGM, effects, and voices.

I still can't believe that one guy who recorded himself sucking spit through his teeth and then baked it into the regular audio. Never be that guy.

Good to know, thanks.

Quick question: Have you fixed the reverse dick in the security office blowjob scene?

Good to hear from you. 

Don't worry too much about audience connection. As long as you let people know about changes in a timely manner and give a sign of life every now and then, you're fine. There's no need to slow yourself down with rendering extra images or spamming weekly updates either.

Keep it up, you're doing well.

Well, that cleared things up. ^^

Stop trying to move the goalpost. You tried to claim that the REWORK took over two years, which is objectively false.  

No new content? Another lie. 0.6.1 is almost entirely new content in the chapters that were reworked. You're adding more lies by claiming that it's the same scenes with a different engine when a majority of renders has been reworked from the ground up. It's as if your entire existence is made of nothing but lies and delusions.

Now, since you like personal attacks so much: Stop projecting your abandonment issues on random developers. No matter how many tantrums you throw here, your daddy ain't coming back. 

Counting isn't your strong suit, is it. That's not "over 2 years". 

Every single thing you said was proven false. 

You claimed "he took over 2 years" while quoting me saying how long he took to rework the early chapters. That is proven false.

You claimed he abandoned the game for 1.5 years, which is demonstrably false. DD has reported progress on a regular basis.

You claimed he gave notice after years, when in reality he did it as soon as he decided to do the rework.

Moving the goalpost doesn't turn your lies to truth. But hey, keep spreading your FUD, I'm sure someone will suck you off if you just keep making false accusations.
