Quite beautiful female characters. As are the renderings themselves in general. And the plot is normal in general. But where the hell is the content? Why the hell do I need a fucking story with no content? I hope this is just such a bad start, and not another fucking author who doesn’t know what porn games are and what they are for and trying to impose on players a fucking hackneyed love story or a lousy fucking visual action movie, which is even worse...
Thanks for the input.

Sandbox (n) Why needs to be a sandbox? Some dev´s offer 2 different modes, one Sandbox and the other one VN.
This way would make more people happy. (bigger audience)

I totally get what you mean. Previous comments advised to more or less keep to my own vision. And I do have a clear direction where I wanna take it.
It’s not that I don’t want to be honest but for the last week I’ve been devoting my attention to my “day job” and thus have had a lot less time to focus on these aspects in the forum, like tags, for example. What time I have had, I’ve spent on creating renders etc. I’m still rather new to how things work here.

Hey, thanks for playing :).

Also, thanks for pointing it out. I haven't made a tab or a window to check your attributes, I will add that to the game on the next update :)
Yes, there will be certain events that will let you add additional attribute points. Currently I'm thinking to add enough events to max out at least one attribute. Max being 10. But I will see how balanced it is further in the game.

Lemme know if you got any other questions :)
Hi,
I saw the new update and looked for the future tags.
I'm guessing that you got side-tracked and forgot to list them.
I'll continue to put this on hold until you get to that.
I learned a long time ago not to get invested in characters and stories without knowing what fetishes the creator had in mind to add. Too often we get an unpleasant surprise that ruins the VN for us.
Listing your future tags is the best way to find your intended audience. Until you do many people are going to be cautious about supporting your art.
I wish you the best.

I second battali0n You don't want to get caught up in pleasing everyone but not giving an indication of your direction with future tags will put off people as well. Probably the ones most people are concerned about are NTR, Lesbian and harem and whether they are totally avoidable or only skip-able (happen but you just don't see--more backlash than avoidable but easier to code probably). There will be vocal people no matter which way you go, but will be less of a backlash than if you suddenly add a controversial tag. Imo, the more controversial fetishes/tags that are avoidable the better but of course the more you add, the more complicated development gets.

Is MC mentally challenged? He got "shot", thrown out of a cliff, with no truck, and he still won't confide on his family what happened.

He is so passively going along with what is happening around him that it truly makes me question his intellect.

To answer the harem question.

In the classic sense, no you won't have a harem of 5 women in your house who all enjoy you at the same time. Maybe 2, maybe even 3. :D But not all of them or even the majority of them. I can safely say that there will be FFM, though.

Generally, you will be able to advance with most of them in one playthrough. However, for some girls, to get certain endings for them and some special scenes with them, you will have to opt out of the others. But that is closer to the end of the game. All of them will have their own unique kinks and fetishes, And to fully enjoy SOME of them, you'll have to make a decision. That is my current vision regarding this question.
So there is no harem ending...

Well, then thanks for the game and good luck.

Well damn, this is one professionally made game. Some typos, but hardly experience breaking. Gorgeous models, actually has a story. The animation I did see was well made, promising for future lewd scenes. What a great experience playing it.

Needs a patch tho. Wish there was a way to set the relationships at the start. Other than that, awesome.

Onyx Decadence I'm reminded of other games that are considered 'slow burns' here.

Maybe can follow their examples on how they went about dealing with the community input and such.
These examples vary in how deep they took the slow burn aspect; in order from least to most.
Subjective to say how well they did it, but all relatively have had a loyal community behind them.

Otherwise, it's a great game so far, minus the lack of intent being expressed.

Thanks for your quick response and thanks for your time...But...I see there are seven LIs in the banner and personally I prefer a single ending, I don't like replaying the same game multiple times just to have an ending with a girl different...But if this is your vision of the game it must be respected, not for me....but GL.
I feel the same. I'm also not a fan of pick one girl single love interest titles, that force multi play throughs, to see all the content.

Well good luck dev with your endeavor.

Perhaps you're right. Might change it up a bit. I just thought that for now, he'd not talk to them about it, because just recently they found out that Richard was dealing drugs. MC doesn't need any extra problems on his head.

Hey! Thanks for the time to comment. I didn't check them out yet, but how slow burn are we talking about? 6 months 1 year? Because I don't have plans for that kind of a slow burn. The first 2 episodes were meant as an introduction, and set up. I'm planning to add adult content on the very next episode, EP3.
Could you elaborate lack of intent? Do you mean the adult content? Or MC's agenda? Thanks for the comment :)

How do other games deal with this? Badik comes to mind.
And from a narrative standpoint, I think not all girls would be down to share MC. Some will, just not all.
Thank you. :)
