VN - Ren'Py - Between Humanity [v0.3.0 EA] [DebatingPanda]

Great game. Story looks promising, graphics are excellent and even though there weren't many of them since it's still early in development, the animations seemed very smooth (Amber breathing heavily in the restroom while talking with MC after her scene was a nice touch). I also really liked the amount of choices we've got and since I'm not a big fan of dream stuff, I appreciate being able to stop it the second time around.

Characters also look very attractive and while it's still too early to tell if they're good since most didn't get proper screen time yet, Lucy and Anya at least are great. Lucy is especially adorable.

Really great first chapter with a definitely above average amount of content for a single version. Will quickly become one of my favorites if this is the standard for following chapters.

I downloaded the game some time ago. I wasn't all that motivated - you know the usual situation game releases, it more like a demo.
I don't pay too much attention to the version numbers but 0.1 you sort of know.

But Between Humanity throughly surprised me. This game releases with a good chunk of content - more than I have often found in games further along the development here.
But it is not just that there is content - cause not all content is good content. Between Humanity has that feel of care. Someone cared about the dialog being readable, understandable, colorcoding that you can trust, little hints. It is interesting, immersive, and rewarding to read along.
I get the feeling there is a much bigger story planned and the start is already great. Normally when I see games with intertwined story archs I start to get worried it is going to end up a mess. I think the developer here has put some thought into how this story should be told and uses visual effects to really help guide the reader.

The artwork is fantastic. The characters have that extra bit of realism added to them that you often see missing. It just gives you nice viewing experience, you want to look at them and enjoy how they are portraid.

I played the 0.1.1 version of the game - had the 0.1 sitting but 0.1.1 got released before I even got to it - and I didn't experience any bugs. I see there still are some debug tags. I wonder if this means the developer is building towards sandbox or if it just placeholder for options down the line.

I think the best thing about the game was that when I was done - and it wasn't over just like that - I went straight back to its page here and checked out the patreon and discord to get a feel for when the next update might be out.
Just like with food the best taste is often "it tastes of more!"

It's very early days, first release. So far my overall feel is this project is build from passion and skill to match it, I think it is a game worth bookmarking for the longhaul. I suspect updates will have some time between because of the quality but be a pleasure to get when they do.

There was definitely a lot of care and planning that went into making this story. Even in this early state the UI is really polished, and you're rewarded for paying attention to things.

Models look good, the story is interesting. Definitely something to keep an eye on.

Its just the first update but the game has potential. The girls are cute and the art is great. There is some background mystery to explore.
The UI is fresh and does not follow the cookie cutter template.

Great start. Character models are nice, and very attractive. Story starts off with a few tropes, but has an interesting setting and some underlying dark bits which made me want to see more.

I am curious to see where the developer takes this. The developer is very responsive, and has quickly fixed bugs and taken multiple suggestions on board. All good signs.

If the dev can keep a decent pace/amount of content per update I think this game will be a great success.

Hey Debating Panda and Devs! I just wanted to take a moment to express my appreciation for your incredible work on Between Humanity. It's your fault now I'm getting hooked in this game now hahaha. Your rendering is awesome and I am already fall in love with every character you made, and the story line is so mystery and I love mystery as well. And you bring a Sci-Fi aspect which is it's a great choice! (Since I love Sci-Fi too). And yeah, keep up the good work. 5 stars for you.

While quite the "standard" intro, it's obviously very well done. I'm looking forward to more of it. Please don't be too shy about some kink here or there, but stay focussed on the basics and I'm sure you'll do extremely well.
