Harmony in Autumndale

Version v0.1.4b Had a lot of fun with the current version, looking forward to the next big update. Art and gamedesign are good, the direction with stats, stat checks and more minigames are cool. Would love when you could unlock a minigame skip in normal mode after you have done it x times or maybe decreasing the amount of repititions with higher skills. Characters are cool, love the teasing of Tess.

This game looks very promising. I don't usually try games this new, but I thought I'd give this one a shot. Now, I'm wishing it had more content! It's got enough that it's worth checking out and keeping an eye on for future updates. The world is unique, so it adds a twist to the normal "slice of life" games littered across the genre. It sets itself apart by developing the characters and building the world through the story. Art is good and memorable. You won't fap in the first five minutes but you have plenty to keep you interested. You can skip the mini games too. Everything is pretty straight forward and you won't ever feel lost. Give it a try.

Pretty good has a cheat mode that basically covers difficulty pretty well. Would be nice if it could be more granular but definitely already good as is. Art works pretty well and writing is quite good. Pace for events is very decent, and story is engaging as it is, and visibly better than others in the genre. No annoying drawn out transitions. If anything, a minor nitpick is that a lot of events are involuntary, arousal is involuntary, and thus its easy to get chained into events (eg. getting stuck by encountering morning events and not being able to train, getting scenes at night and not being able to vent the meter, leading to a missed morning the next day, unable to access the toilet in the evening due to events (both stalling the plot and also having the lust meter issue). No strict time based penalties though so quite minor but it can be annoying. Of course map is pretty small at v0.14 so hoping that it expands / alternative routes get more fleshed out as time passes. Since I did cheat mode, not able to comment on the minigames (Edit: yeah, skip em). Money acquisition tentatively looks like its gonna be a bit grindy though, at 25 per pop at work and each purchase requiring 2 or more work sessions.

Nice game with good art, AI or not. One of the few games ive played where the script isnt dry or awkward. Mini games are not annoying hard or boring. All in all, it is put together very well. Cant wait for more content.

Decent little game. I love that you can choose the normal game, story mode without any grind/mini games or just new content when starting a game. The reason I'm taking one star away is because the MC's name is locked to Jack. That's a silly thing to do and it requires so very little effort to just let us name the MC ourselves. Hell you already made it a variable (mc.name), it'd be easy as pie to let the player change that variable! For me it used to be a deal breaker if I couldn't name my character but I've learned how to mod games and so it doesn't bother me anymore. As for voice lines with MC's name in it, it's a simple fix. Just make the voice lines a bit more vague. For example, the first VO that references your name is, "Good afternoon. I'm Elowyn, and you are Jack I presume?" Just cut off the, "Jack I presume" bit and it still makes perfect sense. Some other voice lines might take a bit of work, but for improving the quality of the game for players drastically it's a small sacrifice. Also I don't like that it's his aunts family instead of immediate family. I started to make a mod to change that, but it would require me to rewrite the whole story, add in new variables, calls to those variables etc etc. At that point I'd already have done 1/3 of the work of making a game. In other words maybe make back story a bit more vague as well, and then let us choose relationships.

The game's concept is genuinely interesting. I even enjoyed the use of AI, though I'm a hater in most cases. But the author gave me a huge blueballs in this version 0.1.1. I can't simply ignore the fact that I felt robbed of my time here.
