Vivid Days

VERSION: v0.2 SUMMARY: Technically not bad, but man it has some fundemental issues for me with its dialogue and pacing. RATINGS: (out of 5): ⭐⭐⭐ NOTE: The following categories and scoring method are my own criteria and may require more context. Additionally , scoring is based on the state, and what is in the current version and not what may or may not be introduced at a later point.

PROS: - See my opinions section for details. Good looking models for LIs and MC, though MC looks a bit like a boy... Audio is decent, music not bad and some ambient sounds, but they can be adjusted a little. See comments Setting relationships is nice, even if the character relations are not all explained well at the start. Animations that are seen are not bad actually. CONS: - See my opinions section for details. I dont like that many of the LI models even their names comes directly from this devs previous work, it feels like a cheap out. See Comments Some audio issues, for me the volumes are not great, the sound volume needs some tweaks, to hear the shower and water you need to push volume to max, but then sounds like phone are too loud, some revision or normalisng here would be nice. Dialogue is poor, specifically the flow, the logic and how things are presented, its just wrong, poorly structured. See Comments. Per above point there are logical flaws in how this AVN plays out, several plot holes if you will that don't match up. See Comments. Per above point, the English is not the best, sentences are structured poorly ever so often and structure is just not great e.g. Monica says "There are times when there's no time to waste." there are much better and proper ways to convey this message. While the world visuals are generally good, I feel things are still too clinical and not detailed enough. OPINIONS, SUGGESTIONS & FINAL REMARKS : NOTE: The following remarks are my personal opinions and thoughts, which may provide more context and could be useful to the developer. (Read them or don't) MC hearing birds as loudly as he does, makes it sound like he was sleeping outside, yet het is in his room, this is a nitpick but im speaking from immersion POV. The Dev using old assets or LI looks feels cheap and lazy, why not create new characters for a new AVN? Sure they look nice, but still for those who played the previous games, its just too damn obvious... The intro I recommend skipping, it feels jarring and you dont need to play it or really miss much in skipping it, if anything it felt a tad confusing. Added to the above confusion is the way things play out, the premise for events and how they unfold. e.g. The MC complains about his old laptop, he gets call from his boss to come in. She tells him his laptop is causing delays in his work, yet how does she know that. Your boss calls you in and asks you, "I noticed your work output is low, whats going on?" then you would say "my laptop is getting too slow, its causing delays, I need a new one" In this case she immediately tells the MC his laptop is causing the problem, this kind of detail is highly annoying and poorly constructed dialogue logic. Added to the above the character roles are poorly defined and feel jarring causing much frustration when reading it and breaks immersion. Per plot hole comment, there are inconsistencies right off the bat on this one. The way dialogue unfold and how scenes and events contradict what is said or vice versa. e.g. the MC is as poor as a church mouse, but can drive a nice car. His boss says his work is slow because he has a bad laptop, but she didnt ask him even why his work output was so little, she just knew it, but we know she couldnt have, but the writer knew...there are a few of these mismatches in scene and dialogue that just disrupt the entire AVN for me. TLDR: Decent looking models even though many come from the previous AVN, which is a bit of a cheeky of the dev IMO. Audio is decent also, but can use some tweaks here and there. Writing, dialogue structure, scene flow and logic are just poor and sentence structure leaves much to be desired. Then the character roles feel poorly defined causing for an odd reading experience. I feel the previous AVN was better, and as such this is actually a poor start. Disappointing

The sexy models caught my attention. I decided to give this game a try, but ended up disappointed. Unfortunately, there's nothing else to grab onto besides the attractive models. There are plenty of games with decent graphics but extremely weak plots. This is one of them.

I had to try this one for the screenshots. The renders very hight quality and models are gorgeous. cant say anything about the story yet as it is just the intro to the story, but it has potential. gonna keep an eye on this one.

Tried the game and I'm impressed First off, the "Engrish" isn't bad at all, I found the dialogue easy to follow, didn't need to read anything twice to make sure I read it right, of course some improvements can be made, but as it stands now, no problems at all Renders and the beautiful models are what made me want to try this in the first place, and I have to say it again; they really are of high quality, beautiful renders, gorgeous models! Not much can be said about the story yet of course, since it was a short introduction, but I can say that it does have a great setting and great potential Will be keeping an eye on this project eagerly!
