I liked what I saw and I'm eagerly awaiting the next release. However, I would like to address a few things, not because I'm a dick, but because I care. So please consider these:

-Animation:
>I can see a solid foundation there. Then again, I didn't understand why Lillian swung her staff indefinitely. I can only guess that it would be an appearance animation without any effect and on loop. That was quite confusing.
>Lillian's Caramelldansen dance flickers when the loop kicks in again.
>Lillian's bed scene sideways: please remove the picture frame or change camera angle, it feels like poor Liliian banging her head in it or the frame is in her head or... I don't know, just ... disturbing.

-Text:
>Hayley or Hailey?
>Lillian is "lillian" at least 2 times.
>It would be nice to have an indicator to separate the MC's thoughts from what he actually says out loud.
>"Onee-sama": I saw what you did there and I'm fine with this, actually, I like it. But I think, there will be many-many users, who won't get the meaning just that "it's some weeb-thing". How about maybe a switch to it in the preferences to swap "Onee-san" with "sister" and vica versa? I saw that it is possible in some Ren'Py games to avoid the incest in an originally incest-themed game (tho, I can't remember which one).

(EDIT #1) -Other:
>I think it would be nice to indicate that your game is intended for mature audience. (Just to be safe. I'm pretty sure others do this for a really good reason.) (/EDIT #1)

Also
P.S: nice work getting me out of lurking. I have never thought I would write here.
Nice work, please keep it up. ;)

First of all I really want to thank you for the feedback. A friend of mine told me about Lillian and the frame and I already fixed it for the next update. Really thanks for everything you said I took everything in consideration, I am already correcting the typos. Thanks for pointing everything you noticed <3

So I have to ask... is there really only a single male Honey Select model that can ever be used as an MC? I mean it's bad enough that all the female models are always on repeat as well, but it kind of starts to feel like all Honey Select games are required by some sort of law to feature only this particular male character... unless of course its an older MC in which case it's played by his balding father/uncle.

It's mainly because there isn't a bunch of options to choose when it comes to male models on HS since it isn't the focus of the tool. So in the end all of the male models ends up having the same presets but it's on my list try to making my MC more unique. I've been trying a few different looks and customizations on his face and hair :d

Yeah I really plan on making those optionals if I do them and about honey select I chose it bcz my current pc uses radeon so rendering daz with it is a pain although I ordered my nvidia cards and thanks for the feedback XD
meanwhile i render DAZ with AMD ... :(
it depend of your CPU if your GPU is not nvidia, if you have a good one, you can do as good as a Nvidia GPU.
i cant say precisly, but for me HS is wayyy more hard than DAZ because the studio is really pain in ass to use XD ( i tryed, i stopped after 2 hours without understanding wtf i m doing )

Since I finally got around to check it out, here's are some impressions from me as well:

- It definitely needs proofreading but it's understandable.
- Drawing out vowels is not the best way to show smn is drunk, try loosing a few consonants and adding shh to words
instead ;) "Whash you want, punk. Woke me up and now you... you're jusht standin' here. Shpeak, or get lost!"
- Animations are generally good, but Lillian's introduction showed that more is less. My guess is that due to lack of frames
it looks kinda spastic, since Hailey's bounce just before looked smooth and pleasant; but I never did animations so
that's a shot in the dark. In contrast, dream-sex with Lill for some reason was kind of a blur-fest. Still very much
appreciated that there are animations at all.
- The environment and clothing looked pretty vanilla to me but I'm no expert on HS stuff. You mentioned that you'll
upgrade the graphics tho, so that won't be a problem.
- I take it the stewardess on the cover of the game is a placeholder since there was no connection to her left after the
intro. All the female models so far looked alright to me.
- The general premise is nice :D This could go in so many directions...

Some things didn't make too much sense (Hailey masturbating in the living room and Lillian's... assistance) but those can be explained away by beer and 'it's porn'. Hard to suggest anything since 0.1 is short and leaves many questions open.
IAmTheWurst already did an excellent job of pointing out other stuff I thought of as well. I didn't get the onee-reference (could only think of oni meaning demon) but that's no biggie.

Have fun and good luck on your project.
