This is a really interesting project, but I wonder if all the time and effort you're spending for a female route (with this kind of game and characters) is worth it. I honestly doubt it.

If you've been following this board for a while you'll see that there are definitely people who play and like the female MC route. Don't know how big that population is, but it most definitely exists.

It might not be providing content that I'm excited to see personally, but as a member of a community of freeloaders I'm happy for other folks to get things they want too.

Isn't it just another version of "is NTR avoidable?"

Yep, I play both. I like how your get some nice differences between the two. The whole bit with Kayla on the female route where they flash from the top of a skyscraper, go to a bar, and share a hotel bed was really nice, and quite hot too.

I should probably not waste my time responding to this but no, obviously it isn't another version of that (which I've always hated, btw). It's math: think of how much more content you would have now if that time and effort would have not gone towards something that like 5% of the userbase uses. (and NOT because is a female PoV, don't misunderstand me (plenty of good games like that), but because I don't think it fits this particular game.. it's like he tried to squeeze it in there).
bye

What you're saying I think proves my point. The developer is working on an aspect of the story that isn't everyone's particular brand of scotch, and that comes with an opportunity cost (the developer is spending time on aspects of the story I don't enjoy!! Waaaah!!). The folks who complain about NTR that's avoidable is a pretty clear example of this . . . why are you complaining about something that you'll never see? Because it slows down the development of the things you do want to see. You see this kind of discussion on tons of threads here . . . developer spends time on a storyline with character X but not on character Y, and that upsets me because I don't like character X (and I should ALWAYS get my way when it comes to the development of a project where I am making no contribution to move the project forward)

You quote a number of 5%, but let's be honest with each other and observe that it's a number you are just pulling out of your backside to help "prove" the point you think you're proving. The comment of "it doesn't fit the story" is just your opinion, and I'd say that particular argument is betrayed by the fact that there are plenty of folks (if the comment history on this board is any indication) who like the female MC route very much. That population is large enough (as far as the developer is concerned) that a decision has been made to provide content for that route. I for one stand up for that choice even if I'm not making it myself.

So yeah, I get that you "honestly doubt" whether the time that is spent on the female MC route is worth the time that is taken from developing the male MC route, and that's totally fine with me that you have that subjective opinion. Just take a minute to recognize that your assessment isn't necessarily supported by evidence and that you might just be substituting your own perspective for an objective reality.

Let the dev do the story he wants to do.

You don't think it fits this game. Maybe you have reasons to think so?

Good advice prevents abandoned games. Just sayin.

 

[sagerock820]

Yes, it can. Constructive criticism and positive feedback can be very helpful. But what was suggested was basically asking them to remove half of the game story. I think that is a bit drastic.

So... how/when will we know whether Ava got impregnated or not?
Or maybe we already know but maybe I missed something?
(maybe I need to check something in the settings for that? I don't get it lol )

I can't wait for next male update

 

[afterlights]

I'm a patron due to the availability of a female route.

 

[MarioTurdo]

THX for your so beautiful game. Kayla and Alex are so cute.

 

[demonbra]

Yes! We exist, and we have the right to get good content too!

 

[demonbra]

And for those telling that the female MC is out of place... Here is a small comparison. The only thing out of place here is the horror attached to a certain body.

Joke aside, I first played the female version, and later tried the male one to see how much content I missed.
I didn't find the male version more coherent than the female one. On the contrary, what kind of overprotective parents would invite a male adult to watch over their freshly legal daughters? Especially the perv oncle that just got a girlfriend 10 years younger than him... Yeah, that sounds like a great plan!

Can't argue against the fact that having both side to side makes the development longer though.

 

[Aviz87]

Haven't played the fem route yet, but I enjoyed the male one. The sexual buildup could've been a tad slower for my liking, but overall fine. Not too big a fan of the twinss' faces, but far from bad. I will definitely come back, once more days have been added or even before, as fem MC.

Only two things I'd like to mention, one is my fav pet peeve: Their/they're/your/you're and so on~ I 99% don't care much for grammar, as long as I can understand what is what, but these are killing me, always have...
I don't know if it was like that before or it's just me and I don't know wtf is what, but Jackie's hair, once straight, looks like a bad sitting wig or glued on parts. No idea if the base is too far back, or what's going on, but it looks rather weird to me.

Overall, good job so far, looking forward to more!

Very nice game. Girls are so super cute and adorable and I'd have to say that the sweet, furtive looks and ways they act are a huge part of the appeal.

Game is starving for some more Dakota content though. One of the hottest girls in the game with an amazing body but hasn't been seen for days. Need her back ASAP.

With regards to this debate about the different content paths, I do agree it's probably adding more time to the development to do this, and I get the whole "let the dev do what they want" sentiment, but as I see that's it been over 2 years since this game was first posted and it covers a week in the game, if things keep at that pace then I guess we're looking at around 6 years for the game to be done since it takes place over one month. If, however, the dev had just chosen to keep it as one gender of protag, then that time would likely come down considerably, so something to consider there.

Also, I know it's fiction and all and maybe it's just me, but every girl you meet in the game (8 so far) basically being a lesbian on the FMC path just seems somewhat less likely than them all being interested in a male MC and being straight/bi. I mean, I've played FMC games that have full lesbian paths, but for some reason, as much as I often like them, I find the concept of all the girls in a game being lesbian more unlikely than I find the concept of multiple girls being interested in a male MC, so I kinda see why some people feel that having different gender paths is stretching development times.

A bunch of vagatarians is no less likely than a prudish, overbearing mother having a dude watch over her nubile 18 year old daughters for a month. Both are porn logic, best not to think to hard on it.

I agree the basic problem with this game is it's called 30 Days which makes it's development speed or lack thereof obvious in a way that isn't possible in most games, maybe the dev should've called it Fortnite I can't see any problems or concerns with that.

The Dev had intended a larger role for Dakota but a lot of people complained about her, so he dropped or reduced her role. I have my thoughts on why but I'll leave you to come up with your own conclusion.

I didn't pursue Dakota for two reasons: I wasn't sure if it would upset Alexis (realized way after the fact how unlikely that is in a harem AVN), but mostly because she was too pushy and entitled about it. Usually it is milfs that I turn down for that reason, so this was a first. Why did people complain originally? I assume you're implying racism was partially behind it, and I suppose that is the case for some people, but I doubt it is very high of a percentage.

I think it's a pretty high percentage. I don't feel like going through the beginning of the thread but I think Ava basically supplanted Dakota at least in terms of the size of her role not necessarily the narrative direction.

Same here on both of these reasons. The fact that she pretty much came from nowhere to suddenly be on her knees in front of me was a turn-off (can and do say the same for Ava, although circumstances are different). I don't mind Dakota for looks, she's not my favourite by any stretch, but she doesn't at all look bad.

Disappointing, but I believe you. It wouldn't be the first time I've mistakenly given the benefit of the doubt to people.
