Technical - summertime saga is great, but they also have a less challenging time in terms of it is a change of a character drawing overlayed on a static background. I would have to re-render every NSFW scene, and it wouldn't just be a change in anatomy, the poses and everything would be different based on the type of pentration likely changing.
this is true. thats why I also mentioned WVM as well. Daz harem game, which gives a choise during gameplay if you want one of the main lis to be trans or not. gives alternate renders for her character according to option and she does have a lot of content. unlike what you did with the switch ( which usualy removes said content from a game) they offer an ingame option to chose what the player wants the li to be.
and I think it also has a trans character later on which is a side character that the player has the option to romance or not. I think it is a big studio though so I understand your reasoning.
My Employer's Family does the same thing though in that case the trans content is behind a path ( I dont know detaills caue I didnt chose that path so I cant offer ore information).
as long as the tranny isnt shown/mentioned/ implied dicking another girl or interacting sexually with anyone ( man or woman) I am cool.
all cool though no worries. focusing on progression of the story is most often better than spending time in additional work for the same scene.

all in all, game looks interesting without uneccessary drama, which is always a good thing so I will keep an eye on it

It's not what isn't there so much as what is there. The story lends itself to a believably straight or bisexual MC, but not to a believably gay MC, because the MC clearly exhibits interest in women in his internal dialogue irrespective of your choices. There seems to be a rather common belief among straight people that gay men are sexually attracted to women but prefer men -- this is not at all the case and that would be a bisexual person. Gay men simply are not attracted to women, and would not express interest, whether in internal or external dialogue.
That is not my intent at all. Let me try to go through and look at the language and make sure it stays neutral until after the sexual preferences are established. Your perspective amy be in part due to the mistake I described above.

I won't question the design decisions for those games, but I think I will keep characters as is and allow the switches to essentially hide certain scenarios.

mc top or bottom?
As the story progresses, you will have the option to select which in certain scenes.

the update was so short:cry::cry::cry: i like the story a lot.
Check again, it may be a lot longer now.

Android version?
Okay, I have been getting this request a lot so I just started working on this tonight. I was able to build a package but it needs work. If you want to try it out, link is at the top.

I reinstalled but this appears to be exactly the same as what I already played. Well, not only is it not neutral at all before the preferences are established -- the MC is clearly hardcore into Kelly -- but the MC continues to express some minor interest in women afterwards.

You are completely correct. I went through with a fine tooth comb and made it neutral. I noticed a few things that you were probably talking about.

Saying she was dressed to the nines, maybe a bit to complimentary.
Staring at her butt.
Watching her cross her legs.

I cleared those out of the script and moved some of those things to after the interview (such as the leg crossing) so a decision can be made before then.

Thank you so much, gsm14347 . Please look out for the next version. Always appreciate your feedback.

Looks like a quite good game in making, just almost no adult (and rather a little of other) content at the moment.

I can understand the calls for funding, however, I it wouldn't feel reasonable to me to go support it on such a short demo, not with there being both The Regional Manager and High-Rise Climb to look at.
Thanks santiago_campanella ,thanks for the compliment! I appreciate the game is short at the moment. I will check those games out, love to see what others are doing, especially in the office setting. Any specific feedback you have, let me know, and if someone doesn't want to sponsor right now, I totally get it. You can still follow on Patreon for free if you want, I update a lot.

Well, my specific feedback is related to my preferences mostly, I don't have anything in general for this amount of content. The bj scene with the latest update was pretty decent. If I recall it correctly, MC had a normal sized dick as opposed to all those megadicks which hang to the knees, which is a definite big plus in my book. Good renders, too.

I don't know about others, but I really like that the game asks about bi/gay/futa preferences. It would feel good to have some variation, and a demo that signals that all kinds of options might be available is a also a big bonus in my book, especially since you've made all of that stuff optional, so people may mix and match.

Other than that I would be happy for the game to have options for some rather heavy maledom -- it would be nice for me to see it again in corpo setting (Regional Manager is heavy on that), but, hey, that's simply my preference. You do you, obviously, whatever rocks your boat. Hope to see where your game goes.

v0.1.2 Prologue
  • 30 new renders with new NSFW scene
  • New android version (work in progress)
  • Text box opacity added
  • Fixed more facial expressions
  • Improved scene transitions and segmented with "days"
  • Added sexuality related choices in Preference menu that link with onboarding choices with Kelly
  • Updated script, including making Kelly less aggressive at start
  • Added prompts that the game is about to end
That is the only new NSFW scene, but the lab tour was new as well. The changelog describes everything. I did a lot of enhancements to the UI, overall flow, and fixed quite a few bad renders that's why it was a minor release.

If you don't like the minor releases, I would suggest waiting for 0.2. I am trying to keep updates frequent to show that work is continuing. It exposes the AVN to new people, but I understand that those who already played it may not care for the minor content update. My next minor update will change the images to a smaller file format, so at least it will be a much shorter download.

Would it be too much to ask for the Changelog, so we know what to expect?

Much appreciated anyway.

Peace :)
I will add the official change log once I deploy, but as of now:
  • 190+ new renders and my first animation
  • New "eyeball" button feature for certain scenes allowing user to see what character looks like naked.
  • Major story update compared to previous release, going from Tuesday in-game to Friday morning right before the after-work party. Total of 14 "scenes" compared to previous 9.
  • Added morning commute scenes to introduce user to new characters.
  • Compressed images with .webp to drastically decrease game size.
  • Enhancements to Android build.
  • Spell checking added to compiler.

Well - gay is definitely not my thing, but it seems avoidable.
In any case, the tags read promisingly ... especially the planned tags. I think so wait for 2 more updates, when some of these planned tags are implemented, it's worth a look.
Thanks for sharing DEV, good luck with the game.
