Damn, I didn't think CheeryMoyas showed up until I hit level 20. I'm screwed.
Insert Moya's perception +5 review here.
Wow, just blow my mind, why don't you. It's like you were in my brain while I was making this. You are totally right about the intro. I actually had flashbacks for both Penny and Ian's intro scenes, but I ran out of time and they also seemed to break up the flow in the beginning. So yes, their intros are awkward and could be handled less clumsily. I'll play around with that in the next version or the next, next version, depending on how much time I devote to CGs this round.
All your criticisms are true and correct and echo my own feelings about the game as I made it, aside from, well, neck thickness. I never thought it was an issue. You know what they say about neck size. grhgsjjdfsjf Now I'm really gonna be conscious about that in every game I make and play. You've all been warned. Also, thank you for your notes about anatomy...I had to sit through like, so many naked dude videos to get it correct. It was really difficult, so I'm glad all that boring research paid off.
I cried many invisible tears reading your review...I'm feeling so dramatic violins right now.
Flattered you dropped into the world of B/B before returning to your native land. Glad you enjoyed your stay.
* edit > Cheerymoya's LP of this is a work of staggering genius. Stay tuned. I'd say my game is worth playing if just to read her spin on it. *snicker*

Thanks. It's a good point and I'm going to see if I can try to add a touch more interaction in either of the next two versions so it's more realistic, without slowing down the tempo of the story. I say that like it's going to be so easy for me to do, instead of the amount of head-banging-on-keyboard it will actually require *laughs maniacally.*

First of all i liked how you was able to choose a first and second name, and it actually appears on you're student card, and sometimes certian characters like Ian for example will address you by you're second name. Penny and Ian were really nice characters, they were ok when the character came out of his closet, i loved when Penny used her phone app to take picture, it was so modern. You must have drawn loads of sprites for this game. Alex and my character got it on in the bar, I eventually found out that Alex... was like some sort of teacher, and if i was that character in real life i would feel ashamed, so i went with the flow and tried to avoid him only to find out he gave me big fat F which resulted in a game over....
Haha, sorry, all these endings should be revised in the bigger game, since you'll have more options with other people. Thanks for your feedback...I really appreciate it. Sprites got cumbersome when I realized making two poses would mean any additional clothing changes would require about 100 years worth of additional work. So they all only have 1 change of clothes for now...but thanks for your kind words.
Very fun game, so many choices to make, loved Penny she was like a really outgoing character, i wonder if there was any way to date her...
Hmmm....this would be...quite a feat. Maybe if this game gets more traction, I could make a side game just involving Penny and hetero relationships. However, I don't think she'd be good relationship material. She gets her rocks off from programming, and she's rather spend her day coding and IMing over anything that involves breaking a sweat. Also, bodily fluids gross her out.

So basically there isn't any bi-sexuality in this game. I was thinking of the Idea's which were most likley scrapped where it stated "I really don't know what audience I'd be going for! Hopefully both, but I realize both audiences traditionally have different wants. I'm a hetero female but I'm also a good dealer older, I think, than most yaoi fans (though I could be wrong). Right now I'm not sure what category the final game will fall into, probably closer to something for a straight audience, but hopefully gay audiences could appreciate it too.", It made me think why wouldn't a gay audience appreciate it?, so i thought there was a little bi-sexuality in the game, and i thought Penny was date-able somehow. But thanks for clearing this up.
Jesus, I don't remember even posting that. I want to do a sci-fi game in the future that will be bisexual and stuff, but for this series I doubt there's going to be much outside of B/B. Thanks for the suggestion though.
Redux is mostly eye candy.
