Why the change in interactions?

Ok, so I just updated my version of the game from 1.5d (I think) and I've found the interaction system to be completely changed.  To be honest, I find this such a difficult to use, annoying, and quite frankly unnecessary change that I'm not likely to continue playing or supporting.

But before I take that drastic action, I do want to ask what the logic behind the change was.  Was is gained, gameplay-wise or whatever, by having interactions happen in such a manner as opposed to how it was done previously (through the "Talk" function)?

The original system was a mess and relied on huge number of prewritten text which also was barely flexible if at all. Lately it was stagnating due to that. New system allows way more control and side features (more actors, AI, side simulations like brothel or post-combat rape, which will be coming soon) while not relying on the prewritten text. It does relies on the imagination though. 

I don't mind relying on the imagination, and I certainly don't want things to be difficult for you as the developer.  But this new system genuinely seems very cludgy and awkward to me from a game standpoint.  It's decidedly "not fun at all" anymore, and I loved the game as it previously was.

Sad to hear that. The new system has been around for a few months so far, but if you have any suggestions on possible improvements, I'll gladly hear that. 

If I may, I find the new system interesting but it tends to cause some weird stuff to happen, specially when you let the selected characters lead. Bodies will contort all over the place, sometimes character1 may be fucking character2 in missionary position, while character3 uses a double anal dildo along with character1 as character1 sucks character3's tits and character2 gives character3 a handjob.

I know it is a very complicated to fix this, but it kinda takes you out of the game.

The dialogue during the sex scenes is also a bit underwelming. Part of the fun of the old system was to see the different variations of scenes, and it was somewhat easier to insert variations based on the characters involved. The new one has less personality I guess. Since it is a new thing and you guys are constantly updating it I look forward to see how this will develop.

Just trying to give my two cents, I really like your work in this game. Keep it up!
