I think he was saying your phrasing sounded like you were abandoned

I did address that with "Yes, My Mother" but let it drop at that.

Since your comment was immediately after mine I'm going to assume it was at least in part related to it.

I've since played the game and I'd agree with your comments in general, it definitely has a few ways it could be improved. What I meant with "nice renders", "don't be discouraged" etc. was:
- It's their first project so I'd expect some rough spots. Constructive criticism is welcome and helpful but shouting "I don't like XY", "NTR WTF" and similar is not (this is what my closing statement was about).
- While this may be wishful thinking about the game's objective quality, this game's genre is a niche within a niche, so most people whose itch this scratches would like the project to continue - hence the encouragement.
- The author doesn't (yet) have any monetization so at the minimum is isn't some scam. Even if they had it, that's fine if communication toward backers is honest. While this has no bearing on the game quality, it's at least some "points" for the dev.

And again, though I agree with your comments about the game, I rather err on the side of kindness than hostility, especially towards someone that I don't know at all, and as far as I know has no history of maliciousness.

Hope the dev is taking notes, can separate objective comments from the shallow "emotional" ones, and won't see them as discouraging but as input to improve the game going forward.

No, it was not really related to it. I actually wanted to write my thoughts way earlier, but decided against it back then, because the game receveid so much praise and I honestly dont want to be in a discussion, just because I am not 100% positive of the game because Lolis are in it.

And I would agree that the Dev has a lot to learn. I even said that I do not really mind the story being a mess at this point, because it was very clear that the Alpha was not about the story. I understood that it was more aimed to the technical side, which is why I mainly raised my concerns about the bad animations, because those "animations" in 2024 are just way too outdated.

And I sure hope and think that the Dev will improve their, it is their first try, after all.

I don’t necessarily agree. Ideally we’d get buildup first and then the developer would actually deliver the sex scenes we’d been wanting. But I do get your perspective, and you’re not wrong that I’d rather have the sex scenes early than not at all.

Maybe the solution is to start in the middle, then work backwards and forwards in alternating cycles of development. You’d have to start a new game every time backward working content came out, but that might be worth it

Not for me - the constant back and forth between timelines is the one irritating thing about SSP. VNs which start where a lot of games reach the end are rare and ambitious. Think of Nympho Tamer. There is so much left to explore here, it would be a huge shame if this was abandoned after 0.01. 'Slow burn' is everywhere. This makes such a refreshing change. And the picture direction is first-class - the angles, the focus, the blurring, the lighting. Dev evidently knows what they're doing. Really hope they do a lot more of it. And hope that 0.02 doesn't take us backwards in time but forwards to the trip suggested by Emily. Perhaps by then she'll have had her baby, and either Lily or Ava will be expecting theirs.

Version 0.02.alpha releashed

Hi all i have released version 0.02.alpha, with proofread changes, denoised images, and compressed to webp. Nothing else have been changed.

Will begin the proper work on a real relase now, and begin building the game from the start.

 

[Glyph]

okay here a more proper responds to all the messages, after my vacation :-D Again thank you all, for the massive support and really happy that you liked my game, and this little world of kink, it have definitely inspired me to continue building make this to proper game, and maybe even serie ;-)

Well let me try a reply some of all the comments that needs a comments.

Is there any place where we can follow the development progress? @lewdcorner333

Yes here, i will keep updating this thread as the main communication way of this, i'm a little protective so will not be making a discord or anything like this. So keep following the updates here.

But I think from a technical side, this game is subpar. The renders do look decent, but nothing outstanding. But the "animations" are just bad, looping two pictures and calling that an "animation" is way too low for 2024. This would have been fine in the early day of AVNs, but not nowadays. Which is why I dont really think the Alpha is that great. @cherubin25

Thanks for your comment, although i would have liked to have fluent animations and all that, my rig simply can't handle creating animation rendering when just image take around 20 min, so although i would have liked animations. I toke the decision to limit my renderings in order to actually have productive output of renders.

@Glyph share your links (subscribestar or any other) so we can support this amazing project. Its the best game of this genre I've ever played and its only a Demo.
Keep the amazing and impeccable work.

Thank you, well although i would like post a subscribestar link or something similar, i'm a bit protective, and having something like that would open me up for all sorts scrutiny. This game wasn't meant for a way to make money, it was only meant as pet project that i feel deeply for. So although some monetized support would be welcomed, i'm currently unsure on how to do it, and would be compromising myself to much, in regards to the content that this is.

 

[FMK]

Would be interesting if the son was a "trap" tying him into being the future futa/trans? Just a thought; still a great game. I am looking forward to more!

 

[tinytits]

looks good so far keep up the good work DEV

 

[WLMS]

Made a "mod" to fix the noise of all the renders because it was so fucking bad.

Hi, do you plan on updating your mod ?

Hi, do you plan on updating your mod ?

Would think there wouldn't be a need for it anymore as what it did is the same that i just implemented to real release.

v0.01 weighed almost 1 GB, now v0.02 weighs 84 mb. Very strange... I better leave

v0.01 weighed almost 1 GB, now v0.02 weighs 84 mb. Very strange... I better leave

I just compressed the images, so that each image didn't weigh more then 1.5mb.

 

[Demonstan]

game size is very very small so i have a question how much content is there right now would i be done reading within five minutes if so why should i bother with this game right now

Probably the most satisfying 84MB I ever meet

So, Trapcest ... one of my favorite types of -cest.

Android port? It won't load on joiplay.

 

[yogsothoth82]

The game looked interesting when I first saw it. But since I don't like sharing or swinging, I probably won't even try it.

Anyway, good luck with the game.

If it helps, the sharing happens with MC's shota son. With words of encouragement from sister and mother.
Pretty damn hot.

 

[Goofygoofygal]

Looks great ... will there be an Android port? Please

 

[BMUS]

For all those that complain, in other game threads, about "slow-burn", then this is the game for them. It gets right into the action, like using someone else's save-game to skip all the build-up, and get straight to the sex.
