Thanks! I was hoping to strike the balance of heroic epic, yet accessible, highschool-awkward, romance.PrettySammy09 wrote:Hey there! I played through the game and I thoroughly enjoyed it. It had great quality, so I feel the need to leave a great quality review:
I felt overall, the game served its purpose: a playful ecchi space romantic comedy. I saw the Protaganist as the classic Romantic Comedy/Harem anime hero, despite his serious demeanor. When put into a compromising situation, he reverted to Keitaro-mode. "Ahh---uhh...".
By the end I was so close to them that I find them endearing, but their genesis reflective of some of the chara types that bug the heck out of me in other anime. Unlike the typical static anime chara they are supposed to have quite a bit of room to develop and grow - they are not in any way ideal or even necessarily healthy at the beginning - and I'm hoping to have them change and mature. Well, I hope you'll try the next episode as it should show quite a bit more character to the girls (and the Captain).The characters were...hmm...I dunno, a little lacking, to tell the truth. Jade was the one I liked the most, and even she got on my nerves slightly. Rose was quirky and strange, which was definitely a change from the serious Jade, but at the same time, she was slightly annoying in her ditziness. XD Violet was just too bitchy for me, but hey, tsunderes are a must.
(*^^*) Sorry, but skirts are a must! I can't possibly have decent light fan service without panty shots, and I don't want to go more explicit...As for the designs, I like all of their hair and faces, but the uniforms were...err... To tell the truth, as a woman, I was a little offended by their attire. (Not seriously of course!! More of a "Hmmm..." than a "OMG HOW COULD YOU?!") I mean, these women are supposed to be serious military personnel, Jade especially (is she supposed to be the First Officer?) and they're wearing these little mini-skirts. I appreciated that they wore tights, but the skirts were just too short. I agree that perhaps having an arm-band or maybe a couple badges on the shirts would have made them look more professional. The outfits looked a bit casual at first. ... Now, I realize that this game has a bit of ecchi in it, so the short skirts appeal to the intended audience, but it takes away from the reality of the situation.
That said one of the things I'm working on for the renewal work on Ep 1 is new uniform designs. This is mostly motivate by a desire to look less TOS-ish, but I do want to address the rank and utility issue. Arm bands are an awesome idea actually! I don't want to do sexy ultra-prim 40's uniform styles, not because I don't like it, but because I'm saving that look for Tactical Kissing, so for Starlight I'm looking at kind of a idealized, unreasonably sleek and 60's mod look.
