Woah a voiced game? It is really rare to see games like these that put effort into audio. Really apperciate the effort. You know the developers are trying when they put make their own music and voice acting. But it has a lot of room to improve. You mentioned that there will not be any animation, so in order satisfy us, your cg better be very good. I'm not saying that the art style/ graphic is bad, but it could really improve, espicially if you are using CG. I'm sure you had this in mind, but some functional buttons would help, like save/skip. but overall the game is good. Voice acting is outstanding, pacing is okay, dialogues are on point, the story seems interesting. Hope to see the whole thing soon !

Well, we didn't put in saving for a specific reason, same for skipping; in 99% of other games, I'd wholeheartedly agree with you that such buttons would be a necessity, but in this game, well... I can't say why it'd ruin things, but it would, haha.
The CGs are about 5 or so images per sex scene, and again, I'll be the first to say that this game is something like 60% storyline, 20% gameplay, 20% sexuality; with all other games I work on, I try to balance things equally between the three, so this one's an exception to the rule. Hopefully you all still enjoy it to some degree though! :)
If you enjoy fully voiced games, btw, sorry to re-link it again, but http://www.patreon.com/futurefragments is another game I'm working on with full voice again, multiple cutscenes, and if you enjoy animation, it's got it in spades. :P
I really enjoyed the demo, BUT the money grubbing is pretty blatant here. You failed to show why someone SHOULD buy this game, there are far better FREE games out there that have: better writing, better voice acting, better art, more substance, more people working on it, etc. Some people make games because the game is worth making, and others (you) make a game just for cash.
hentaiwriter responds:
Writing/art/substance is subjective but I can't think of a single western hentai game that has voice acting that is free (as in, not just moans, actual words/sentences etc.) so I gotta call your bluff on that. (Also, how does "more people working on it" equal quality? If anything, that usually leads to projects dying out due to too many dissenting opinions, haha.)
We're not just making games for cash though; if we were, we'd be putting in a lot less effort (and a lot less money sank into resources/assets) than this. Feel free to pirate the game, and then if you still think the game's low quality, that's perfectly fine, but I'd advise checking that out before passing judgement on whether or not we're making games solely for cash.
Pretty fun, addictive rock-paper-scissors game with the option to cheat. Not exactly hard or anything, and the graphics aren't too amazing on this one. But still a fun timewaster. And everyone loves a 4th-wall breaking game.
A shame you're charging for the full game(s) though. I'm unable to become a patreon due to different currencies and the lack of any valid card for it. Maybe a Steam bundle is an option?
hentaiwriter responds:
Thanks for the kind words :)
We have to charge for the game though as we usually sink thousands of dollars into the creation of these games (plus our time spent creating it), and they're our sole source of income for the people working on them, so if we didn't make back the money we sank into it, we'd be broke and unable to make anymore. :P
This one only cost about $2000 or so to make (paying voice actors, music, artists, etc.), so it wasn't too bad, but other games we're working on, like Reclaim Reality and such, are already in the $4000 range just for the demo's contents alone, with the full game speculated to cost upwards of $90,000 with the amount of content needing to be produced, etc. (and of course the time spent actually putting all that stuff together, writing, sprites, etc.)
To note, you can become a Patron using PayPal, and you can also purchase the game over at itch.io too! We can't put it on Steam due to the sexuality of the game, and how integral it is to the plot, unfortunately (meaning if we took it out or made it tamer the game's plot and gameplay would no longer make sense).
i enjoyed constant clicking and a jumbled mess of voices. good though
hentaiwriter responds:
Was something possibly messed up on your browser? The voices shouldn't be meshing together, especially with breaks (since only the woman is voiced) etc. If you can PM me what browser you were using, we might be able to fix it :)
Good game :D
