I am enjoying the AVN a lot, but the whole "MC with no face" thing really drives me nuts. It's one thing if it is mostly POV/RPG kind a thing where you rarely see the MC, but there are too many shots with his face cut off. It just pulls me out of the story... Just show his freaking face already.

I've never been a fan of it either. I think it takes away from the MC's identity. I think they hide the face because some devs want to cater to self-inserters but that kind of thing has never appealed to me. The faceless MC does also pull me out of the vibes too.

Personally seeing MC's face doesn't really disrupt my ability to self insert... I play RPGs for goodness' sake.

Yeah, I have no problem seeing the MC and still identifying with him. ...oh, except when he uses the same model from a character in some other game that I H A T E, then the feelings start bleeding over. Thats only happened once though. (MC in a game looks exactly like obnoxious, annoying, and backstabbing "best friend" from another AVN. And the dev loved putting the MC into scenes so I just had to stop playing so I didn't punch my monitor.) I don't really mind the artsy shots where the MC's head is just out of frame, but it gets a little silly when the dev just black-boxes it. ;)

Yes, guys! The game is out on Steam. Thank you all for your support, and especially to you flaviopaganini for buying it :). This is truly a big step for me and for those who enjoy the game. A good start will untie my hands, and I'll be able to improve the quality of the game, considering there are many hot scenes ahead. I've already started working on a new update, and I hope you'll be pleased. Thanks again, and I love you all.
