Hi, I’m Alxira5, one of the developers of this game (you can verify this in the credits), and I’d like to address a few points.

Regarding the sheer amount of dialogue: I want to remind you that this is a visual novel. Naturally, it involves a lot of text because the game tells a story; without those supposedly unnecessary lines, the plot would end up confusing or, in a worst-case scenario, just plain bad. In the future, we’ll add a 67x fast-forward mode to make it more playable for you.

Also, no, this game isn’t “AI Slop”. The only elements using AI are the visuals, such as sprites, backgrounds, and images, because STheZer0 originally started the project alone for fun, and creating all the art solo is incredibly difficult. Plus, he edits the images to ensure they look good rather than low-quality. Believe it or not, we do have artists involved: JellyJagged, who animates the cutscenes, and myself; I created the icon and logo and will be producing more art for the game in the future.

As for the music, and this should be obvious given that the game is still in very early development, the current songs are just placeholders. They will be replaced later on. And in case you’re wondering, the final soundtrack won’t be AI-generated; it will be composed entirely by me. Besides being an artist, I’m also the composer (you can verify this in the credits as well).

And finally, if you think this game is bad, simply don’t play it. Since it’s free, you have nothing to lose; you can just move it to the trash and be done with it. Also, I’ll say it again: this game is in a very early stage, so it’s obviously imperfect and we’re trying to improve it. But dismissing it as “AI Slop” is simply an insult to our work. If you didn’t like it and think the game is bad, don’t play it, simple as that.

P.S: I forgot to mention this, but I just realized you spend your time insulting the developers of every game you play, I mean, come on, man, don’t be so bitter.

Sup Mr Alxira5 , the self proclaimed artist and guy who is in the credits  , appreciate you taking the time to write a extensive reply to my comment . For that reason i shall instead refer to your visual novel as Ai fmg Fudge instead of  AI fmg slop from now on , congrats . Anyways let's digest your points one by one .

About the dialogue , im no fool and i understand that this is a visual novel and not a actual game , hence there is gonna be obviously alot of dialogue about whatever the story is about / going for . With that said even for a visual novel , this still has to much unnecessary dialogue to the point that is baffling for the player . And  let's be honest here for a second nobody is here for the dialogue, everyone is here for the Ai fmg scenes A.K.A. Smut . But since y'all are to busy writing modern day Shakespeare , you don't have as much time to make more Ai fmg scenes,  and i can't believe I'm saying this but the game needs more Ai fmg fudge to feel satisfying.  Other than that i guess I'm looking forward to the ⁶🤷‍♂️⁷ text skip.

Now on to the actual good part . You say and i quote "The only elements using AI are the visuals, such as sprites, backgrounds, and images " My guy...That's is literally half the game ! And sure you might argue that some guy "animated" the scenes ( looks like a invincible wobble edit lol ) or that you made the logo , but that's peanuts compared to the unavoidable truth that the game is clearly and to is majority Ai. imagery. Up next you mention that creating actual hand drawn art for a solo creator is pretty difficult and i 100 % agree ...BUT this is clearly not a SOLO dev effort anymore like those initial days isn't it ? Plus you guys seem to have gothered quite the financial support through donations in itch or Patreon from fellow addicts , so there is really no excuse to hire someone who is capable to make some hand drawn imagery at least for the actual characters (the rest can stay Ai and nobody will notice either way).

Now finally in to some good news and something I'm looking forward since i have quite the personal experience in the field of music . I'm glad you are taking the time to make a soundtrack for the game instead of it being Ai generated (that should be a no brainer ) . I guess i will miss listening to joy from persona 3 but it is for the better since you don't wanna get copyrighted. You made a lot of promises so you better deliver.

Now dont get all preachy on me about "if you don't like it don't play it " . Can you not read the damn name or do you want me to spell it out for you  ? At the end of the day it does not matter whether the game is good or not , whether it is Ai generated or not . Im here only to get my fix of brain chemicals   AKA dopamine , oxytocin and various hormones. Very rarely do i find a nsfw porn  game that leaves me feeling genuinely happy instead of numb inside. You all just a bunch of glorified drug dealers in my eyes .

P.S. : I spend my time expressing my frustrations with the whole Fmg itch scene , I'm not here  just to insult even as much as i wish to . I will try to put my biases aside and instead focus on addressing the sheer laziness of these devs that feel prideful over their Ai creations , promising future updates if you give them money in Patreon while people will gladly do anything to please their desires , while overlooking the morality of the situation.

If they feel bad about it when good. Maybe there is still some consciousness and dignity left in them.

 Its true that i feel bad for actual indie game devs that don't rely on some cheap Ai smut to get people's attention but instead they try to make actual games there with good mechanics, good music , good visuals etc. And even if they fail , they still made something worth of praise and admiration.

Good morning,
first, I want to say thank you for taking at least 20 minutes of your time to give the game a chance.

Alxira expressed almost everything I wanted to say with the exeption of a couple of points:

1. This is a Visual Novel with 6 love interests inside a story narrated trought a slice of life narrative. For me, natural and detailed interactions between the girls, the characters and the protagonist are the key for a good story. I understood what you expressed and I can tell that this isn't your bread and butter, but telling that "nobody is here for the dialogue" it's a little bit malicious, since you're implying to pretend to speak for everyone here... And I can say 100% that it's not the case. 
But then again, It's your opinion, man. You do you.

2.  > "BUT this is clearly not a SOLO dev effort anymore like those initial days isn't it ? Plus you guys seem to have gothered quite the financial support through donations in itch or Patreon from fellow addicts , so there is really no excuse to hire someone who is capable to make some hand drawn imagery at least for the actual characters".
I don't know if you noticed the disclamer while you boot up the game, but the game is 100% free, that means no financial support and certainly no donations nor Patreons. (I really don't know why you said something like that out of the blue to be honest.)
I mentioned multiple times, this is a passion project.
Plus, I'm doing 90% of the work, so despite the completely free support from other creators, this is still a SOLO dev effort.

I'm sure there are a lot of FMG games on this site who can give you what are you searching for. :) Unfortunate that you didn't find it here.
Have a good one! :)

 Wait there is no patreon and any itch donations ? Few alright i gotta admit thats my bad for not reading the fine print. I just look at the images and play a fmg game out of that , im not really a novel reader as you can guess , but  that is still pretty crazy ngl. I kinda asumed you guys were getting some kind of a income since most Ai Fmg  games have it and brag about it.

 BUT YOU ARE DOING IT FOR THE LOVE OF THE GAME ? ??!!!!11  Alright respect to my freaks right here .

Other than that every other point i made stays valid and the same and you really should give the hand drawn stuff a try , just saying

Anyways ya nerds good luck on your future updates or projects .
