Important Poll- Erotic Events + Story Type
Added 2022-03-18 18:26:27 +0000 UTCHey everyone,
I was meaning to start a poll on these two subjects (erotic events and story type) for a couple of weeks now and I think the best way to do it is to combine both the subjects into one single poll with multiple voting (you can select more than one option). I want to shake things up a bit and improve even further on future projects and for that I need some feedback from the community. Very important conclusions were made after the little experiment called "Brentwood Motel" and I hope that this poll will put even more things into perspective.
Question regarding Erotic scenes. Would you prefer :
A1. Three basic erotic events per Episode.(Nothing too time consuming but more quantity of content allowing up to three girls to have erotic events, little control over it)
A2. Two moderate erotic events per Episode.(Decent foreplay and some options during the sexual act, some limited kinks but an overall good experience)
A3. One basic and one complex erotic event per Episode.(Complex meaning multiple choices during the sexual act, various kinks, a more personalized experience depending on your tastes)
Question regarding story type. Would you prefer :
B1. Real life story, little to no supernatural or magical stuff. (MGA, Nursing Back to Pleasure for example)
B2. Real life mixed with supernatural or magical elements.(Pine Falls, Dusklight Manor)
B3. Supernatural or magical elements mixed with some real life. (Zoe's Temptations)
Your answers will be greatly appreciated, most of the questions will pave the way for the future project after Nursing back to Pleasure is completed (still some way to go). Please vote in both categories.
Have a great weekend and enjoy the games!

One very important part of it all is the hardware, I upgrade everything as soon as I need to and that makes things smoother and more manageable timewise.

2022-03-29 13:22:39 +0000 UTCI don't think burn-out will happen at this point. He's been at this for 7 years afaik and doing the monthly update thing for at least the last 4 (when I really got into AVN's and when Renpy started getting more common use). Once you get a rhythm going you can pretty much zombie-mode it on autopilot like most people that do the same job for 30 years just for the paycheck even though they hate it to some degree. I'm sure that will actually get easier over time when AI starts taking over and automating most of the actual work (possibly eventually even the writing process, feed it a general idea and it cranks out a rough draft that only needs his personal refinements).

2022-03-29 11:27:12 +0000 UTCThe adult VNs of this world are filled with generic "what most people will like." Plenty of Devs make what they want that do not fit into your pigeon hole definition. I want the brilliant and creative Devs like Daniels K to unleash their imagination on us. I don't appreciate a tiny percentage of responding supporters to "market research" questions dictating what the dev should do. Now, if a Dev gets 60% of their subscribers to respond, they can hope that the other 40% would answer similarly, and then plan the game based upon that. Still, if the majority vote for something the Dev is not 100% behind, they may experience burn-out and give up the game. I don't want that to EVER happen.

2022-03-28 16:00:09 +0000 UTCMarket research is important when your only way of paying rent and buying food depends on making what most people will like. Really the only dev's that get the luxury of making what they themselves enjoy (which doesn't necessarily always overlap with what the most people will pay for) are those with a day job and just make AVN's as a hobby with an update 1-2 times a year. Then getting paid for it is just a bonus rather than a necessity.

2022-03-28 15:33:14 +0000 UTCYeah I'm sure if the loops were longer it wouldn't be as apparent and the induced sea sickness wouldn't be as bad. I think the camera bobbing and swaying is an unavoidable side effect, but if it bobbed over the course of 30 seconds instead of 1-3 it wouldn't be as bad. It felt like the motel was actually a converted barge at sea in some scenes.

2022-03-28 12:51:27 +0000 UTCMaybe next time add a choice like this. C. Allow Dev to choose for me. You are so good, I trust EVERYTHING you do.

2022-03-26 13:35:24 +0000 UTCHonestly love all options as you've created different VNs in each style. One piece of feedback following Brentwood Motel is that some instances where the screen zooms/pans a lot back and forth were a bit overdone.
2022-03-19 22:55:05 +0000 UTCFor me the most important are choices, as I want to really play a life: choices which girl I want to have sex with and which girl I want to have a serious relationship with. The choices what to do during sex could be important if they result in different girl's reaction. I see that unfortunately most people are into fantasy, I'm 99% for realism, it's OK when there is 1 fantasy theme like e.g. an option of going back in time or one magical power but I really hate all the elves, monsters and some magical fights, so I wouldn't play such a game.
