What's causing you trouble? What does your quest log say?

Dude you are digging a hole for yourself. Stop digging.

What does it tell you that after two bloody years you have NOTHING to show for yourself? You ignored content to what, re-render the fucking house? Something no one gives a fuck about. People don't play these games to look at the fucking background renders, they play the game to get story and sex scenes and you WASTED your time doing the background renders TWICE that we know of if not more. No one cares that you modeled the house yourself, in fact people wish you didn't because doing that pointless feature took time away from actually making story or sex scenes.

So you released this to show us what you can do, which is what? make a crappy little house with terrible UI navigation, that becomes a boring click fest just to go anywhere, and when you get there it is fucking empty. Nothing is intuitive, the story in the intro drags, you are so proud this is a time management game but there is nothing to manage. Your keep using the excuse, YET! Just wait it will be added. No it wont, because you'll get fixated on something else and spend month redoing something else like you told us you have done already and the game was just released.

If after two years this is all you have to show a game with terrible UI, terrible navigation systems , empty open world locations and zero story, with zero scenes with the family. You have showcased to use that you have no idea how to make a game. I have zero confidence that this game will go anywhere because you don't know what makes a good game, background renders are something your worry about perfecting after you have all the mechanics implemented and most of the story outlined and perfected. Has there been any multipage comments by people here about how great a game would be if only the developer "perfected" the background renders? No because we don't care, we want story and fucking lots of fucking not empty waste land sandbox games with a self modeled houses with no content.

We?

We?

The game has it's good points and bad points. There's no need to be raging. This Dev is new and just now getting their feet on the ground. This has been a work of love for them for a long time and you get all insulted because they're learning and simply trying to explain what their focus has been.

I'd suggest you back away from the keyboard for a bit and take a look at your own priorities before raking someone over the coals for theirs.

I've just finished the "old man wisdom" quest. Is there anything else to do? I dont have any other quests showing up, the "blow some steam" scene is not showing and idk how to trigger that scene with the sisters playing on the couch (from the preview screenshots)

You have to update to 0.2.1a. The missing sisters scene was a bug

No because we don't care, we want story and fucking lots of fucking...

This sounds like a lot of projection, a complete lack of experience when it comes to actually presenting a finished product (and the way there) and a massive ego issue.
Who the fuck is "we"? You don't speak for me or anybody else here.
There's a whole genre called Nukige, you should go check it out. If you dislike unfinished games I can understand that completely, just do it the way I do:
Wait until they're finished and ignore them until then or check out games in their early phases with barebones content, then ignore them until they're finished if they seem to have potential. If they never get finished you'll never lose a single minute of your life worrying over it because you'll probably have forgotten about it, if they do get finished it's always a nice surprise.
There's a shitton of h-games out there, so unless you're a massive coomer you'll have way more games than time anyway (if not, get a job, lift weights and get a gf), so there's absolutely no need to get bitter about literally anything on a porn forum.
Especially if you actually want games to be finished, because in that case you really aren't helping.

Wait so the mom and daughters just abandoned the dad after his business failed, yet he didn't cheat or was abusive or anything else. They are all bitches.

You don't know that

 

[ScareKing]

Wow. So many words just to say you don't know what you're talking about.
Yeah, I "re-rendered the fucking house" because it wasn't up to the standard I wanted for my game. Guess what, in a game with *rendered art* the *render quality* matters. Crazy, huh? Who would have thought?
An other super smart fact for you: overlays are built over backgrounds. So if I were to re-work the backgrounds at a later time I would have had to rework all the overlays too. So much for prizing content over quality. Tell me you've never made a game without telling me you've never made a game

And then there's the assumptions your fat ego make you take for truth. Terrible UI navigation? I could get behind that if you told me why. The intro drags? Same. But says who? you? Why should I take your word for granted? I've had quite a few people say otherwise already. So why should I believe you and not them?

You don't want games with "Terrible UI navigation systems". You don't want "empty open world locations". You don't care about render quality because when the developper takes the time to make quality content it makes you shit bricks. So my suggestion is: go review crap headlamp-lit DAZ VNs, god knows there are many out there and stop making me waste my time.

So anyway. You have the nerve to come here and tell me I have no idea what makes a good game when your pathetic novel reeks of ignorance and ego-trip. All I care about is making a good game. But you and your *very* useless comment? I will have forgotten all about it in a week. Probably even sooner.

PS: The message you were quoting wasn't me justifying working two years on so little content. It was more a way to say that I took the time to perfect my content, and that now the flow of content really begins. Otherwise why would I have made this update (0.2) public and not 0.1 from the start? Because I could have made you guys wait even more for sure, I could have made 0.1 public. But i didn't.

Just a "tip" if you want to stay here sharing your game and not go crazy, ignore those guys who have nothing to say, there are some critics here that I think should help you but you know what they say, don't feed the trolls or they will continue coming.

You don't know that

I would be very careful if this is what the audience perceives. It does look like there is doubt that the father did anything wrong; false accusations are very possible. If the first perception of the LIs are "f-ing bitches," you might have a problem getting the audience back on your side. Such a situation happened to a great game ("Second Girl's Happiness"), though the women were blatantly guilty of being bad people in that game. But no matter what the dev did, people bitched. They bitched to the point of not noticing that the game was coming along quite nicely, bitching to the point the dev quit making the game.

Just a cautionary tale, take it for what it is worth. I don't criticize devs, as I have no time/skill/energy to make my own game, and there are plenty that have what I am looking for. Your game looks to be in my wheelhouse, I just need to go back and find that f-ing attic.

Regardless, good luck.

Up to that point it seems people did get it right, there *is* doubt that the father cheated or not, so I'm not too worried. I do see your point though, I appreciate it.

Also, don't worry about criticizing, feedback is appreciated, negative or positive. The important part is not being an ass, unlike some other dude a few posts prior...

 

[Alley_Cat]

Does it really matter if the father did anything wrong? No fault divorces are a thing. It's pretty arbitrary really why he's no longer present, as long as he's not.

Because if he was, we'd get a whole bunch of people complaining why he's not the MC.

 

[jawz]

if i can make a recommendation to the dev, it's to give us an option to click through the pauses. nothing makes me hate a game more than forced pauses.

and there's some a bug where the location is showing in the top left as "False morning_home_mcroom False"

other than that, i do like the ui, although the character screen should have some basic info. right now it's just "no further information on that character yet". it should show like "this is your mother" for angelina, "this is your aunt" for eve, and whatever for riley/emily.

another issue, after the first quest, you need to wait to saturday for the house owner's friend larry to visit. but it's fri at 730am, and there's nothing to do in between that time? so i just gotta skip time 1 hr at a time until it's 330pm saturday? that seems like poor pacing. hoping this is just because it's early in development.

after finishing the 2nd quest, i realized this is it for this version. very little content so far, but again, this is early in development so that's somewhat understandable. however, a note added as either a popup or in the quest tab should let players know they've reached the end of the current version. otherwise they'll be left wondering if there's a glitch or a hidden quest somewhere to find.

 

[Bobber Tail]

I get a false notice like this in each room, just started 2.1a in windows.
Also, see nothing when blowing off steam. the delay on text is irritating as you never know when there is going to be a delay or how long and can miss things by clicking. Usually if one wants to express time passing the will add frames of dots to click, some even use a row that gets progressively shorter.

I'll consider making a button to skip the credits, if you're talking about that.

Fuck... I left the test displays on... Again sorry about that. I see them all day every day they end up looking like an actual part of the game to me.

Yep, I'll be fleshing out the menu on update 0.3. Many things to finish doing there.

About Larry's visit, the start day was Monday prior to 0.2.1, so there were many more days to skip. Thing is, it's a management game, without the management part currently. So normally you'd be playing the game, managing the house and such, but right now it's just skipping because there is no such content yet. The start day will probably reverted back to Monday when 0.3 comes out.

There IS a popup showing up at the end of 0.2.1a. If you haven't seen it you're probably playing 0.2.1 (without the "a") which means there's a bug preventing you from seing the latest event.

Yes, they are test displays that I left in the game by mistake. They don't prevent you from playing the game.

 

[benny7]

Is there supposed to be a scene on the bed when "letting off Steam" like in the wanking pic in the description? I'm only getting a view of the bed with no scene.
