Im glad you guys are enjoying it so far. I'll try and keep it interesting.

Well as said keep up the good work. Quick question though will it feature revenge.

Only ask because of that crazy ex-boyfriend who caused problems.

Eric (ex bf) has a special something in store for him. its not at all what you are probably thinking.

I just hope there's some natural bush where it makes sense.

I doubt someone innocent will shave it off.

Is the writing/pace in this improved from his other game?

Too soon to tell. you dont have to take a chance if you dont want to though. Lots of other things to play.

Ok i liked the artwork but not how the characters behaved in the other game.

Does someone know what future tags are planned for this game?

I can tell you right away that sharing and swinging and ntr (male on female), furry, gay(male), bestiality wont be in it.
neither will stuff like smothering. Feet aren't going to be focused on either.

None of which are negotiable, no matter how many players whine about it. (not that many people whine here, but ive been on the other forum for 3 years, so im kinda jaded)

On the fence with pregnancy. If there is preggo, it wont be procedural. it will be a character that is already preggo, and stays that way.

A better list is on the competitor95's website .

edit*
Actually read the OP.

Its right there.

I really hope this one continues. It has great dynamics and art. The clueless MC is wonderful.

Good news, chapter 2 is out already for certain tiers and they're already working in chapter 3. Although access is behind Subscribestar(spelling?)

Second chapter released on F-95. Wont share it as the developer has control of the thread.

feel free. if its leaked elsewhere, then go ahead. Its close enough to the public release, anyway.

I just dont feel like updting the thread until its supposed to be. (partial laziness, ngl)

The same characters from Ravenous?

The same characters from Ravenous?

no.1 crossover from a girl that showed up in ravenous, shes a vampire now.
ericas model was voted to be used as a slightly older vampire named misha.

lou will show up here and there.

ravenous and Ashwood are in the same "universe", bit dont directly affect each other.

Is it purely aesthetic or will there be an explanation for the various skin tones? How Courtney and Irina are very lively while William and especially Deardra look well past their sell by dates. Also how Rochelle has moved up and down the shades.

Ok, I like the premise, but some MAJOR issues jumped out at me. First, why is MC's mom being turned the third issue he is concerned about. Like an afterthought? OK, he almost died and found out for sure they are vamps, so that is first, but HIS MOM WAS TURNED. He acts like its a minor inconvenience. (Note: This is one of MY top reactions and she's not my mom). There is no true explanation for why before he just moves on to the next issue. "Ok, mom's a vamp. Interesting, well, I hope she's happy, I guess. No more wine at least!"

A lesser, but also problematic issue, is that he didn't tell Kelly that her psycho ex tried to kill him. Anyone with a brain would understand that if he was willing to kill the MC just for being seen with her, that he might do something terrible to her and her family??? This is set this up for conflict later, but it makes the MC look like an idiot and he's already leaning that way with the way he fell for Kina to begin with and left his sisters with their vamp mom when he suspected her, but didn't know "the rules"

I like the premise, but this needs some logic thrown into it a bit more. We can understand the why you might not want to push the Mom turn or the Ex BF narrative right away, but give us a better reason why from the MC's POV. Like with Ravenous, I like the LIs designs and the personalities we've seen from them. There is enough good here and I will certainly continue playing to see were it goes.

There were also bad writing moments like these in Ravenous. The MC is left looking stupid and ditzy just to prolong a minor plot point instead of just tying it up in a bow. It is rather annoying but minor issues. The renders are nice and overall less minor issues both This and Ravenous are enjoying overall.

some characters change after the turn. some dont. I have to do it this way due the the limitations of my knowledge/skill/software.
rochelle has only been 2 colors. before/after her turn. the lighting plays a role in how it looks as well.
