I actually like the box as long as I can hide it when I want, I think it makes it easier to read and in ren'py it's easy to just press h or middle mb when i want to see behind it.
I use the same name for all my MCs but it's not my own. For LIs I usually use default or pick a random nice name that I think fits the character if I don't like the default or if there is none.
It depends heavily on my mood and my impression of the game from reviews and previews. With some games I have spent way too long and a couple of others i have judged too early and skipped forward just to end up going back to read because the story picks up after a while.
Yeah I don't think I've ever seen paywalling work like intended. I do think it's totally fair when devs release a game earlier the higher tier donors though and the less you pay the longer you have to wait. As long as you release it eventually it's fine.
Not really for me, but I'm not big on horror in general. Did like kindred redburns though. Not sure if that counts but it had zombies in it if I remember correctly.
Censor is definitely a big draw back but it's not an automatic disqualification for me. A few games have been good enough to play even through censor, but of course they would have been a whole lot better without.
Flash games were some of the first porn I came across as a kid so even though the first games were super simple and often just topless stills or something it was super exiting back then.
Sometimes yes, when i come across a sex scene that is "animated" by circulating 2-3 stills it feels less exiting to me than it did before when it was more common.
The more animated it is the higher quality it feels like for me but I think that a mix is best since stills are easier to produce and that will help to actually get the updates out.
Yeah I like it, it's not that complicated once you get into it but it definitely has a learning curve. There is a pretty helpful tutorial in game that makes it easier to learn though.
