First off, thank you so much. It is so great that you are back and with content nonetheless. Here is what I'd like to say about this game.
-The art is on par with the second game. It isn't bad, but I thought it would have largely improved over so much time. I like how Pico looks more like Pico now, but I never realized how bushy his sideburns were. O_O
- The audio is great, but needs more variety. It's nice to here that Pokemon battle music again after so long.
-I'd like for there to be more interpersonal relationships than just dating.
-I think the reason people like Nene so much is because she's the most normal looking girl of the bunch.
-There is minimal story here. What are Pico's motivations? Is it just for sex and money?
-The other reviews already said the other stuff I was going to mention.
Overall, I think the second one is a better game. I'm sorry. Of course, this is just the beta so things may change. ;)
On an off-topic note, I read that you plan about writing a post about when Tom gave you the tablet. Are you also planning on filling us in on what has happened over the past few years, like about your projects such as Wittria? How have things changed so much from the past games and the planned Pico RPG? I'd love to hear about it all and I'm sure the others would too! :)
