Not sure if Dev need any advises, but there is some if needed:
1. Add MC/non MC name change.
2. Names colors.
3. Remove weird animation (almost all of em for now).
4. Renders quality - denoise/change depth of some renders.
5. Improve average renders quality.
6. Make stats removable.
7. Capitalization in some relation words wrong. There are 3 simple rules for it in English.
8. Voice... well, I guess everyone turn it off by default.
9. Too many narrator texts.
10. No need to hide pry files. It's useless and make some inconvenience for mods.

any chance we'll be able to choose the pubic hair for the mom? or is she going to stay shaved no matter what?
Probably she will stay shaved, otherwise, we would need to basically double the number of renders where she is naked.. and then someone will come and request a different pubic hair shape... and also smaller boobs... you see were this is going, right? :D

Yeah, making the target a whiny brat is detrimental to the game on many levels.

- He doesn't deserve getting fucked by either the villainess or the heroine.
- He isn't worth saving.
- He doesn't have virtues to get destroyed in the first place, so the corruption won't change him noticable.

Most corruption storys that focus on a younger, male person, emphasize how that boy is "pure", as in kind, naive, well behaved, responsible, studious. Usually he has a very positive relationship with the heroine. All this is build up so that the corruption and fall make it more so devastating, because all these virtues are removed and turned into sins. His devotion to his mother, which is virtuous, is directed toward the villainess, so its now twisted and wrong. He fails his studys, his career and social life which he used to manage splendidly, because the corruption twisted him that much that he abandons it.

I get that it would be the wrong approach to make the son a chad, then he wouldn't have a reason to fall for her (or it wouldn't impact him as he is used getting pussy), but a whiny loser on the other side of the spectrum is just as bad. Make him a kind guy with a very good relationship to his mother to contrast it with the bitchy cougar whos goal it is to destroy that bond.

1. Name changes make it very difficult for the fully-voiced game that we want. We'll be sticking with the pre-determined character names for this reason.
2. Good idea. I'll look into this and see if we can get it added next update.
3, 4, and 5 - I think the renders are of very good quality. I'm happy with the standard they're at.
6. Stats need to remain for the gameplay. They're critical to the game design we've built.
7. I'll take a look and fix any typos. "Mom" should be capitalised in each instance it is used.
8. Feedback has been positive to the voice lines so far in the review we got, as well as the feedback we've received from supporters on SubscribeStar. We'll be keeping the voices. Might take some getting used to if you're not used to playing with fully-voiced games. 1742151156469.png
9. Aye, I've massively cut down on narrator exposition in the next batch of scenes I've written.
10. I don't do programming, but I'll pass comments on to the programmer.

Thanks for the detailed feedback! We are reading all the comments so far and logging what players have said so far.

do we have word on if there is going to be an intended release schedule? like are we looking at monthly updates or what's the plan there?

also as far as the voices go I just figured they'd be looked at later once you had the budget. I think overall voices are a good idea just the ones in now are clearly filler rght?

MCs son jacob is a loser. like for real a loser.
Only a borderline Incel like him would let a woman mentally reck his own mom for an ounce of pleasure. :p

Sorry, missed these comments yesterday.

This has been factored into Jacob's character development and is something which gets addressed as the plot advances. It'll make a bit more sense once the next update comes out - but Jacob's behaviour and entitled attitude is something which can be rectified by your actions.

We're straying a little bit from the formulaic approach to corruption that you described. Jacob isn't going to be the perfect son who falls. He's an imperfect son that Lauren loves deeply. He's a flawed human being who has done excellently in college, but has failed to "take off" as an adult. He lacks experience with women that he should have by this stage in life. He doesn't just act like a loser - he feels like one; and that's the chink in his armour that Vicki exploits.

I just posted a short update on SubscribeStar there about this.

Each update we release will advance the story by another couple of in-game days.

So far, we have Intro and Day 1 released on here. Weekend 1 and Day 2 are coming in the next update.

Weekend 1 is pretty much finished with 100% of renders and writing done; we are just waiting for some voice acting.
Day 2 is having the scripts written for it right now. 98% of the renders are done.

also as far as the voices go I just figured they'd be looked at later once you had the budget. I think overall voices are a good idea just the ones in now are clearly filler rght?
Budget isn't going to be too big of a concern for this game - I'm self-funding it with my own money. Anything extra we raise on SubscribeStar will mean additional scenes/content on top of what we already had planned.

The idea is to keep on top of voice acting as we release each update so a player can set Renpy to "auto" and just sit back, no hands, and listen/read the game at their own pace. :)

Yes, I totally understand. Was just hoping that mom could have a huge bush :) You get to do whatever you want, though, since it's your game ;)
