2021-10-14 11:09:29 +0000 UTCI genuinely struggle to find a way to hate this game, even take out the porn bits and make it a fighting game or an RPG and it would still be excellent, the writing and art style are brilliant, my only hope for what I haven't seen mentioned as planned is for Kevin to have a happy ending, that man has endured to much bullshit to die!

2021-10-14 10:52:33 +0000 UTCI'm late to the party, but I must say this update was good stuff. I loved Simone, hope to see more of her in the future. It was also nice to get to know Lana more and finally get a glimpse of the city. And I really like the character of the old ghost. A lot of humor as usual too, the "fairy tale" book and the power's revelation were completely silly and the guards' antics never cease to amuse. The whole thing was perhaps a bit too linear for my taste this time, I do like exploring and stumbling into sutff, but I understand that you wanted to really move forward with the main story.

2021-10-09 07:36:36 +0000 UTCReally astonishingly great game. Loved the story, and if anything this made me want to change my vote on previous polls to get back to more of the main story sooner!

2021-10-06 00:45:45 +0000 UTCLana's a princess-adventurer, if she thinks about monogamy it 's probably for dynastic reasons. Main character could be on her radar for that now that she knows about his gift, but she might subconsciously want him to demonstrate an ability to survive on his own account before she can get too attached

2021-10-04 12:05:40 +0000 UTCVery good release, I liked the bit of exposition about Vil introduced as a proper villain and being shown without being shown. I really liked the bits with Simmone and her magical book was a fresh change in the art, that was lovely. Sure there is a lot of exposition but I'm not too bothered by it, I always like the lore. I'd say, as some others did, that the relationship with Lana took a bit of a weird turn and feels unexplained : they kiss all the time and are all lovey-dovey but in the end she's just like "go and get other girls if you like" as if nothing. I get this is a harem game and will end like that with all the girls, fair, but to me it felt better explained in the story with Holly : "I like you but I'm not looking for commitment, ever, so I don't ask the same for you". Still : excellent release for an excellent game, you meet the expectations and it's great following you :)

2021-10-04 09:40:06 +0000 UTCI think this update was excellent, just the desirable length. My only note is that it felt like there was a lot of exposition that was dumped on us in a way that maybe could be a little more interactive. Even something as simple as a character "pausing" in their explanation to allow MC to ask questions - and the questions we pose have answers in the exposition we're given. MC just felt a little passive here. The only part I didn't like was showing the ring to Serena - she's given off enough warnings that she's spoiled and not to be trusted, and the stakes have been pretty high since the beginning, I just think showing her so she could take it was a real boneheaded move that accomplished nothing. I would have preferred if she had used deceit to get it instead of just "Oh gosh I'll show you, wait oh no you took it aww shucks" But everything else was excellent.

2021-10-03 01:14:50 +0000 UTCI hated it! I hated it, that this version ends! :D It was an amazing version! I really enjoyed it story- and characterwise and had a lot of fun playing it! I am really looking forward to the next version <3 Maybe the only point that I am not that much into it, is this "girlfriend-feeling" through this "everytime kissing lana" thing, but even that wasn't disturbing the gameplay at all, I just recognized it as "it happens often" .. but as I said.. it's a personal thing for me and other players might prefer the "feeling" :'D

2021-10-02 19:36:06 +0000 UTCI know art takes time. I wish they would come out faster lol. Don’t rush them though. The quality on these games is some of the best I’ve ever seen.

Volé
2021-10-01 16:54:33 +0000 UTCMy only complaint is that I want more! I don't think that's really a complaint. Seriously though, the more the merrier. If I had to nitpick I'd say more autonomy in sexual choice would be nice; being able to choose where I put MC's mouth/dick/etc or how I interact with the characters. That's not a complaint though, just something additional I like. I adore this project.

2021-10-01 15:59:53 +0000 UTCI really enjoyed it overall. My only point of critique were the exposition dumps, mostly with Sev. Cutscenes work great to make them more enjoyable, such as Lana's backstory, but just reading lots of text between the MC and Sev was the low point of this update. It wasn't bad and there is no need to change it; just a note for the future. The magical storybook with Simmone was great. Very creative storytelling technique and a fun addition.

2021-10-01 13:07:15 +0000 UTCLoved it like most seems to do! I started fresh from the beginning and the pace with the main story is really great in my opinion. I don't agree with the people saying it's too serious or whatnot, it's the "depth" that build character. I would rather see more backstory about how the different familys ties together and their connection.

2021-10-01 12:58:43 +0000 UTCLoved it end 2 end... ALl the funny parts and the sexy ones as well :D
Random Lol
2021-10-01 12:38:54 +0000 UTCI loved it. The new storyline was very entertaining. Lana became a really endearing character (though Myrtle still is my favorite 😉), and the supporting cast are very funny, specially the guards. And the art keeps getting better. I think this update had the best scenes so far. I really wish that the game was finished! 😅 Congratulations, and keep up the awesome work! 👍
Mistborn
2021-10-01 12:04:27 +0000 UTCI loved it, my only criticism is (spoiler) the part where you spill the time powder on yourself seemed like it stole the moment of Lana realizing she was cured, since her immediate reaction happened off screen
houndsteeth
2021-10-01 10:12:39 +0000 UTCI really like the MC's interactions with the various LIs, as well as the fact that -- as you have explained -- he will be able to choose who he ends up with in the end. What worries me a bit is that there doesn't seem to be much interaction/jealousy between the LIs at this point... but that could be coming later. Great work!

2021-10-01 09:39:48 +0000 UTCThe quality is outstanding but it was so short 😅
William Massie Stevens
2021-10-01 09:02:02 +0000 UTCI liked the Lana character, and her reactions to the main character's actions and experiences. I hope Lana will have further content. The main character's route with Simmone was more self aware than I've seen so far and gives you some plot options. The achievements seem to be coming up more frequently than before but maybe that was because I played through in a four or five hours over two days. I felt that you had planned a lot of plot development in this part of main story, and that it went very well with some poignant moments and some fourth wall laughs. It was a completely satisfying amount of content for the update development time. For my part, I wouldn't want you only to release smaller updates with shorter development times. PS how did the cat in the market get to be so fat?

2021-10-01 07:17:54 +0000 UTCVery high quality of drawing and good story
Frantz Lasvignes
2021-10-01 06:49:51 +0000 UTCThe latest story extension is the best from my point of view, because Lana is the cutest girl of the story from my point of view. The current way of having more a visual novel is absolute fine for me, because I prefer to play games for their story and not the gaming part.
TiefImWesten
2021-10-01 06:43:32 +0000 UTCI loved the story development. As someone else said, however, it felt a little too much like a visual novel, not much point and click gameplay to be found, it was mostly just press spacebar to continue. But otherwise great as always
Mikool
2021-10-01 06:16:44 +0000 UTCBut don't get me wrong! I still love everything else about this game!
Pablo del vuego
2021-10-01 05:57:33 +0000 UTCI liked it. I didn't think the main plot was 'too serious'. Yet I do think the new part is not interactive enough. The player is stuck on a railroad with press enter to continue dialog gameplay. I wish there were more point and click gameplay.

David Wharton
2021-10-01 05:09:32 +0000 UTCI voted "I loved it" because I appreciate the effort and the resulting incredible quality of visuals, jokes and storytelling. However, I must say Lana is not my favorite character. I probably would've enjoyed the update considerably more if it focused on Simone and Lady Goldenbush more.
elbentzo
2021-10-01 05:05:08 +0000 UTCI completely agree and enjoy the mix of serious, fun and spicy. This is type of thoughtful, methodical production is exactly why I will stay subscribed to your project when I drop off other projects. The main story plot is getting really good and setting things up for a longer story, which I truly enjoy.

2021-10-01 04:42:42 +0000 UTCI really loved this update. So much interesting was happening with the story and with the relationship between MC and Lana. It was not to long or to serious, that part was needed to strengthen their relationship. Thank you for your hard work.

2021-10-01 04:40:37 +0000 UTCloved it. i've been playing/subscribed since 0.2 or earlier. I noticed how much potential the map concealed and feel like the main story is finally starting - not just a random string of events. The dialogue was good too. overall - really good, keep it up!
simdee
2021-10-01 01:46:24 +0000 UTCIt was great, and man do I wish we could see more of the Goldenbush girl wow! A really good length too, but the time between updates is insane.
ArcaneFire
2021-10-01 01:44:18 +0000 UTCkeep up the great work!
Anthony Docimo
2021-10-01 01:33:03 +0000 UTCI can't remember exactly what the other post said but I'm hoping the story isn't changed. I liked it and the kinda dark parts really added to it. Makes the happy moments really stand out.
Pally Ganker
2021-10-01 00:31:32 +0000 UTCI enjoyed this update. I'm glad that the healings and resolutions were able to undo the darker aspects of the stories for Lana and Madeline. So nice to play, with all the humor, so funny at times and giving some really good "laugh-out-louds" ! And the art, amazing as usual ! Well done guys !
Marc
2021-09-30 22:47:16 +0000 UTCIt was awesome. This was done well and sets up a few other characters to cozy up to in the meantime..... which brings me to a question. In the market on the left hand side. The woman in the white dress. Can I petition that the mc "bumps" into her?
Juan ton maynot
2021-09-30 22:43:04 +0000 UTCI love it in the sense that I could tell you're opening a whole new path for additional scenes. Even though this was Lana heavy, there's a lot of room to add additional routes while you're dealing with hers
Outbye
2021-09-30 22:10:15 +0000 UTCHonestly, I haven't played it yet. And for once, that's not out of spite to everyone who were being complainy pantses about the update taking too long; I've been really busy lately. Also, I had to migrate a couple of times and my saves didn't make it through the crucible, so I have a lot of catching up to do
Sh0tgun_Jacks0n
2021-09-30 22:04:35 +0000 UTCIt was serious/funny. With just the right amount of serious to increase the value of the humor. The way you might use salt to heighten sweetness. I didn’t think it was too dark at all.
Vernacular Ham
2021-09-30 21:59:33 +0000 UTCI don't remotely mind the "too serious" bits. The game is still firmly established as a work of fantasy comedy, but it's still an epic. The whole point of an epic is that it needs to span multitudes, and that means it should be big enough to accommodate different tones and hues. This particular update used pathos to make the characters more three-dimensional and sympathetic. It made the lore deeper and wider. It gave us antagonists who posed a legitimate threat, thus upping the stakes and therefore giving us more reason to care about the story. I'd welcome a more lighthearted return to form in the next update -- maybe something more with Holly or giving Maple an overdue check-in. Still, I was overall very happy with this update. And considering how long overdue the update was, that's saying a lot.
GilbertRusk
2021-09-30 21:59:00 +0000 UTCYeah I have to say disagree with the thought of the tone being too serious. I think it was well written and paced. The art was all fantastic as well. My only complaint is that sadly I do wish there was a little more to the update. I'll always support you guys. But the amount of time in between updates compared to what is received seems a little, well, less worthwhile.
Lickitguud
2021-09-30 21:51:09 +0000 UTCPro: Solid pace, good story, it never felt like draggy, didn't feel too serious, A+ animation, and a solid amount of content! The scrolling animations were awesome, and you otherwise got quite a few chuckles out of me. I get where they thought it was too dark. I disagree. The happy resolution along with creating a more dynamic character made it well worth it. Con: no rubber chicken with a pulley.

2021-09-30 21:39:53 +0000 UTCi did like the update and didnt share the concerns of the testers that the middle part would be too long or too "dark" it was overall very good
