Practically the only thing separating this project from the average "F95 Amateur Porn Game v0.1" is the artwork. Which also, if we look at it from digital art perspective, is really amateurish and definitely gives off "self taught digital artist" vibes. Now it's still good by porn game standards to be fair. Oh and the writing is clean. I actually think the writing, while stretching suspension of disbelief a bit, is totally fine as well.
However, there are a bunch of red flags:
- Self admittedly ALREADY messy code, before the project even really started. This means work will get slower and harder over time.
- Basically reimplementing Ren'py in Godot. Why? Combined with previous point it just exacerbates the issue.
- Self admitted reliance on patreon cash. This means you never want to finish your game and cut off the revenue stream, classic "why would I make it faster if I'm getting paid monthly".
- There is basically no game here. It's just grinding points to unlock scenes. And it's crazy unbalanced, like why wouldn't you playtest it at least a little bit before release to make sure it at least feels decent? It's apparent on your first playthrough. Again, classic poor project management that's very common for western porn games.
And yeah remove the beast tag please, it's really clear that it's not happening any time soon, if ever.
Also like what the fuck are these comments man?
My lead artist? It's a girl... 20 years old... and she has the most beautiful light blue eyes. She deactivated all her social media when we started making the game to keep her identity a secret, she's not a pervert dude like me who couldn't care less about doxing.
My artist needs to eat, pay her rent, like everybody else, she's working 15+/day, barely sleeping, this is her only job. She was a virgin when I met her, I'm the one who brought her to this crazy hentai world... she trusted me to make this game, I can't let her down by doing something dumb and risk getting us banned. We would lose all our support, the game would lose its lead artist.. and it would be over, no more game, no more story...
I get that it's your girlfriend or whatever but this is just kinda creepy vibes. Especially since we consider that it's a game about a supposedly 26 year old virgin being corrupted.
Ok I also realize I may have been a little harsh, there are definitely projects like this one that managed to deliver. Superhuman comes to mind. So we'll see, but it definitely needs more time in the oven.
