I don't think there should be too many content choices in this early stage, because whichever one I choose, I miss the next event, and the more of these choices, the shorter the gameplay time will be for us. I'm in favour of giving all content when the game is trying to gain fans and supporters, at least for 4-5 updates.

My Android Ports have a 2nd Persistent save location. So, even if you uninstall the game, the saves will remain Intact.

The cringe slang in this game makes me want to blow my brains out.....
It's like reading slang a dad would say to sound cool...

Edit: Yup... I don't care how good this game is now. I got to the ice cream parlor, and all the dumb shit they were saying made me turn the game off and delete it. I'm all for trying to be current, but you're going over the top with it. I don't care if "that's how you talk" as you posted else where. I have to be able to play a game and read the text without feeling like I'm getting dumber every second I keep going. In fact every time the MC opens his mouth, I can't help but thinking "Wow, what a douchebag."

Let me know if you get someone else to rewrite this bullshit into something resembling an 1Q over 100.

The dialogue has already been modified after numerous complaints about slags, and I got a helper to proofread the dialogues. Things will be a little better in the next version, I guess.

The trick with slang is to use it very sparingly. It is rare for some one to just use it more than a handful of times in a given conversation. Even the group of people from London (The Cockneys) don't go over board with their rhyming slang. There is a thin line between endearing and annoying in its usage.

A lil short, but I mostly enjoyed it. Could you add an alternate option for the Erin scene? I wanna chill with her, but I ain't a fan of the MC acting like a wuss to do it.
so there is an Erin scene , i chose to go to the club instead so i missed that one , figured out a more interesting character would show up there , and i was right .

I hope the next chapter is better, because this was a long time to wait for this little bit of content.
Hopefully this won't be the last update.

The protag ain't bad. His personality & slang gives him character. I'd take him any day over the usual bland, creepy and/or dumb protags we get around here.

Update from Discord

Dev Log #10
Wuz Goodie!
First and foremost, thank you for playing the game and keeping a watch on us.
Now let's get down to business.
You folks appreciated our latest update and the adjustments we made, however some, if not more, of you don't like my work, by which I mean the writing part. I'm very aware that some people don't like the dialogues, and I agree that they're a little out of character for our Mc. So I've chosen to rewrite those dialogues, and we'll also hire a guy to proofread my shit. By the way, we have a guy who is helping us with our shitty dialogue, but we haven't finalised anything with him yet.
We've decided to add a new tag to our game: "pregnancy".
Yes, you read that correctly. I spent hours reading the story and discovered that I can add pregnancy with three of the main girls and a few side girls to get pregnant without breaking the story and making it more intriguing.
Some of the question we got asked.
One of the most asked questions we received was, "How many main love interests are there?"
Season 1 features eight girls as the major love interests, and when season 1 ends, three of the girls will be removed as the main love interests and will disappear from season 2. Season 2 will feature three new girls as the main love interests for our character.
Is this game going to be free or will it become a paid game?
No, at least season one will be free, but patrons will gain early access.
Are we gonna launch this game on steam?
I'm not interested in doing a steam launch, but if the game does well, I might consider it in the future.
Now let's talk about the development.
We have decided to do a monthly update from now on, so you can expect an update in the next month for sure.
How big is the next update going to be?
I can't really say much about it as I have left it on Diddy. If he is able to pull 500 renders before 30, then 500; otherwise, if he is able to get 200–300, then 200–300. btw, if you guys don't know, Diddy is sharing daily info on our Discord server about how many renders he did on the present day. This is the final Public Dev log; from now on, we will only publish information with patrons. If you are not a patron, I recommend you join our discord server, where Diddy is discussing about his work, which will give you an idea of what is going on. Hot Shots! v0.1.3 development info
Plot = 100%
Writing = 100%
Nerd stuff = 50%
Scene posed = 270
Renders done = 125
Animation = 3
Episode 1 has 25 scenes, 10 of which were released in v0.1.2, leaving 15 scenes to complete, and we have covered three additional scenes thus far.
Stay Awesome!

Some weird slang overuse and grammar don't bother me, so I like this game.

What annoys me (v0.1.2) is 2 second dissolve plus pause that I need to click through, plus again 2 seconds' dissolve plus pause that I need to click through. All that just to move to the next screen. Like this:
Code:
    scene black with circlewipe
    pause
    scene hmco_01 with circlewipe
    pause
Man please remove those pauses and reduce "circlewipe" dissolve time from 2.0 to 0.2. Otherwise it's really annoying and asks for -2 stars for the game.

Apart from that, all feels well.

That dissolve has already been removed.

Imo, this and Move the Chains would benefit from trimming of slang, accents and overuse of scientific terms, for every 1 person that feels represented will be at least 9 others that either don't know what the fuck characters are saying, or are annoyed by it. AVN already have trouble keeping players invested in reading the text and not skipping to the next choice.

In other news, I need Club Baddie in my life! :cautious:

Looks promising, is there any walkthrough or walkthrough mod for this?
