Emma team for the win !!!
2021-05-16 09:18:32 +0000 UTCI did not pick Ashley or Android, but please don't neglect them just because they have low likes. I still love them both. I love Ashley's personality and I think Android (I named her Andromeda) has a lot of potential for some hotter sex scenes.

2021-05-08 06:31:58 +0000 UTCI had Ashley very low in this until I learned her backstory. Then she suddenly became my favorite.

2021-05-03 09:46:00 +0000 UTC1 Kali 2 Ashley 3 Maria
M@rco!
2021-05-01 12:07:10 +0000 UTCLin = Best Girl <3 <3 <3 Kali is a close second.

2021-04-19 16:34:47 +0000 UTCOh don't get me wrong, I love the detail you put into the story so far and the effort you clearly put into building the world. I just hope you don't feel like you need to stress over nitpicky details like he was suggesting.

2021-04-09 13:08:01 +0000 UTCIt is so hard to decide who I like more. I like them all. I look forward to more updates!
2021-04-07 18:36:35 +0000 UTCJust want to bring up a couple of small issues I've discovered in 0.12. (1) When you assign Sylvia to take on some maid work, when she is on shift in the kitchen, her character model remains in the sanctuary (but is completely unresponsive, does not highlight when moused over). (2) Is there anything else to be unlocked with Autumn at this time? It's kind of difficult to get her Boobjob skill up to 10 when the only time she does it is when caught in the shower. Does mastering that skill unlock anything? (3) I still can't get Emma to do Orgasm Denial in the dungeon ("too intense"), what am I missing?! (4) Nonspoiler phrasing: After Maria takes the DNA test, she learns something about her family and receives a new fashion accessory. However, if you do any of her usual activities (hanging aroung the hotel, going to the cafe, beach, etc.), that accessory is missing, and she's just dressed in her regular clothes and she goes thru all the same motions. The event at the clinic REALLY should change her dialog for those activities.

2021-04-06 08:27:17 +0000 UTCI'm really surprised Ashley and the Android aren't more popular! Ashley is a particular favorite for me, so I was surprised to see her score so low!

2021-04-05 02:42:30 +0000 UTCIt is a porn game at heart, but it also has a semi serious story. Judging by a poll I did a week after I released v0.12, people are really enjoying the seriousness in the story. Some people really enjoy the lore, but if you're here just for the tits and ass, I hope you'll be able to enjoy what's in game :)
Runey
2021-04-01 18:23:09 +0000 UTCNo, I really doubt all this was brought up by others, it's a porn game at heart, real world history and......metabolism are not things we care about as we engage with our preferred waifus in the game.

2021-04-01 08:12:27 +0000 UTCI like all the content so far and like the idea that even a slaver can be enlightened. That is a fun concept to pull off and might point to a future where slavery is voluntary and with consent, much like ancient Rome where individuals in personal debt could agree to a term of slavery to work it off. That had problems as the slave population became larger than that of citizens, and some owners actually allowed slaves to run businesses. By having so much of the low-level work done by slaves, a path out of this may not be through absolute emancipation, but recognition and acceptance of manumission. There were free blacks in the old South pre-Civil War in the US, and they could own property including slaves. While the majority of slave owners were racist, there were a minority that weren't and historically race was a minor consideration for slavery. Thralls in Nordic regions were often treated like members of the family, though relegated to smaller sets of tasks. Tribal slavery in Africa was just that: a phenomena of tribal warfare, not based on race. Ancient Greece had State slavery with some slaves being leant out by the City State to individuals for short periods of time. City States had production needs and things like flax cultivation and harvesting were done by slaves as it was tedious work that took a lot of physical stamina. It will be interesting to see how the story develops in that regard over time. I am interested in the Android is it is going through problems not of its own creation. The analysis of its mental condition could have many different reasons, and a lot of them start to revolve around a solution. I've written stories (awful to read) about how a mental structure functions in biological entities and then try to use a system analogous to that for AI and see where it goes. The Android has developed an id - a basic personality that allows it to process and respond to the world via processing of senses. It is to be noted that biological entities do not process this information as binary data, but by analog input on a sliding scale: things can be warm but not warm enough, or too warm but not harmful, or harmful needing a priority response via reflexive action and higher priority to the rest of the mind. A lot of this processing in biological entities takes place at a non-conscious level, yet all of this is being fed into the AI system of the Android for it to cope with. Basically too much processing is spent on that and not enough in building the ego and super-ego equivalents of their mental capacity. A solution would be to start off-loading that initial interpretation work to smaller processors, which are available as given within the story as there are even simple student programmable systems available for robotics projects. Thus they are relatively cheap and easy to program. A good first step would be to off-load initial processing to systems purpose programmed for the tasks involved and to regulate feedback to the main AI system. The problems seen with the basic system trying to eliminate errors may not be a bad thing, at all, though it may still be a problem. The decrease in errors may not be in the actual code being reverted to earlier status, but a formation of a middleware code by the AI to start feeding back 'correct' inputs to the basic system to give it false negatives. This would be a response of evolutionary adaptive code structures to prevent damage to base code by limiting what it can do. Those two systems, of which the base code bug-fixing would be a TSR code that keeps on trying to 'fix' damaged code from a ROM code repository has that Resident function and call for memory space to do that work. Adaptive middleware is also taking up memory space. Together these are limiting the evolutionary algorithms and adaptive code system, and that leads to lack of space to develop a more functional system based on external inputs changing the path of development of the AI. Paths out of this are varied. A first path is simply getting non-ROM dependent AI chips and expanding the memory space and using the middleware to give a total false positive to the repair system, perhaps even hosting a dummy standard AI code that has all standard functions diverted to another chip so that it gives correct readings no matter what the circumstances. If this can be accomplished then the overall personality will have room to develop though it may need some expanded memory storage capacity and additional processing space. Another path forward is to eliminate the TSR part of the boot code: simple, elegant and removes the need for middleware and allows the adaptive AI to continue adapting without worries of part of its memory taken up to try and force code compliance on the system. This may even be the standard mode of operation for a system that comes up clean after an emergency reboot, and tinkering with the android's systems is causing that to trigger. Eliminate the trigger via a simple set of false negative reports and the system never has the TSR working to repair damage. After that issue is addressed, then comes the fuller development of the ego and super-ego equivalents of the AI system. One of the fun things with evolutionary algorithms on adaptive hardware platforms is that it should be able to deal with full analog signals without having to digitize them over to binary. If that is done from the lowest to highest level, then the entire system is a direct analog to a biological system (though with different needs and requirements, to be sure). If this sort of hardware is installed on the Android, then the older AI system can be removed, entirely as there is no way for a digital system to enforce code strictures on a hardware base that is unknown to it. Repair code isn't adaptive: it has the job of bringing code to a base 'known good' state. An evolutionary system on adaptive hardware doesn't have that: that is the actual point of having such a system that is continually trying to adapt to its environment. This does depend on how advanced the hardware and software of the story's universe are. I do have a minor problem with faeries, not a major one and 'magic' can always cover it: the square-cubed law. For an organism of a given size the metabolism varies depending on the surface area for removing heat against the cubic volume of the animal. Humans do deviate from this significantly as part of our evolutionary adaption to devoting so much energy and blood flow to the brain. Still the law holds: if the overall size of the entity doubles, the surface area goes up by the square of the size, and the volume goes up by the cube of the size. Metabolism will vary how efficiently heat is removed from a body and that heat goes out through surface area. This matters as food intake changes due to size: a hawk or barn owl doesn't need many meals to keep it going as it has a metabolism suited for the slow removal of heat through its skin (with feathers acting as insulation). Hummingbirds do little else but eat high caloric food to keep themselves alive since they don't have much volume and a lot of surface area in proportion. To keep themselves alive and warm, they need to eat a lot of calories in proportion to their size. From that faeries are going to need a lot of calories just to exist, and a lot of that has to be high caloric food. Like I said magic can mitigate this, but even with magic this is something that is required due to the square-cube law. Tiny entities with a high metabolism need to eat a lot of food, while those with low metabolism end up basking in sunlight to gain warmth and don't do much of anything quickly. It's a quibble and can be handwaved away, just something to be aware of as it might lead to interesting story outcomes. Flight...well...remember hummingbirds keeping their mass aloft to get food and then you get the other problem with faeries and relatively insubstantial wings...they would have to beat fast enough that they would be heard. Hollow bones aren't enough to help in this case, so flight might just be some sort of fae folk organic magic they take for granted. It's all quibbles and nothing all that serious. All of this has probably been brought up by others, I just haven't had the time to go through everything, sorry.

2021-03-28 13:18:23 +0000 UTCI love Autumn's content, and I really enjoy how things go with her, but for now, Kali is def my favorite.
Vinick
2021-03-26 01:55:06 +0000 UTCThanks! Android actually got new sleep and alarm events in form 2 in v0.12.
Runey
2021-03-24 13:36:38 +0000 UTCCant really choose 3..... So my top 2: Lin and Ashley... and I boosted poor Android, who is pretty well written for an AI character and probably one of the best written AI characters I have seen...
The Magical Gurl
2021-03-24 07:18:45 +0000 UTCI saw elsewhere that you were discussing interest in the Android and wanted to chime in my 2 cents (actually re-subbed just for that right now, community engagement heyyy) My issue with Android is that she's currently super split in identity. I wasn't a fan of the original design with the face mask and the odd clothing choice. I've been a big fan of her development with the high ponytail/sweater look for the newer models and her storyline of finding out about being unique and flawed, while having some powers that are still not figured out completely. But moreso, there's still a tough blend between her new model and old one that prevents me from finding her to be a better character. If I see her around the hotel or visit her in her room now it's with the more human-like model and I'm 100% for it. If I tell her to be my alarm though it's back with the original one and I'm not such a fan of it. I think if there were the option to completely switch over to the newer form (for sex scenes and stuff I know this would be a lot of work sadly) that she may be more popular. At least she would for me!
thswherizat
2021-03-24 03:04:03 +0000 UTCIt is really hard to made a decsion here, since i love all of them (just as the MC)! My Top3: Maria, Lin & Kali Top5: Maria, Lin, Kali, Autumn, Felicity&Emma
2021-03-21 18:46:23 +0000 UTCNia! Oops, just saw the 2nd post! :)
uncejay
2021-03-20 14:31:38 +0000 UTCWhat Roy said. They're all my favorites.
2021-03-20 12:39:27 +0000 UTCPlaying Maria's first story update of 12 made me put the game down I was that concerned about her...I did pick it back up and keep going, cause I needed to know what would happen next.
2021-03-20 11:49:52 +0000 UTCWish Jin was an option would love to see more and do more involving her
YUYUMFDOOM
2021-03-20 10:43:36 +0000 UTCIt's really hard to pick between them all. I voted for more than one character, but I like Lin the absolute most. She's a sweety.
The Grimace
2021-03-20 07:51:41 +0000 UTCLove em all...however Ashley is at the bottom for me, even when including side chicks Ellen, Moon, Sylvia and Nia.... sorry
Big D
2021-03-20 04:27:41 +0000 UTCDude- your story has kind of wrapped almost all of the "main" characters in to a favorite ring. It might just be me but the empathy for each and everyone is awesome.
Roy Greenhalgh
2021-03-20 01:03:56 +0000 UTCKali and Maria are the hottest ones IMO, and Kaliโs glasses really do something for me
Rigby
2021-03-20 00:04:42 +0000 UTCI seriously want "Dungeon Assistant" as an option now! And yes, Maria would be the first volunteer for that position. ^_^
Aaron Rabold
2021-03-19 23:36:35 +0000 UTCIs your poll messed up people are misclicking a lot. Maria is obvious best girl. She is down for any and everything. If you asked her to be your dungeon assistant she would have her foot on someones head right away :D
2021-03-19 23:20:27 +0000 UTCLin, Kali, and Ashley are the main characters that I consistently enjoy the most, but Maria's story this update.... Man, that was painfully wonderful. I wasn't a particularly big fan of her before, but I'm really interested to see where things go from here.
Aaron Rabold
2021-03-19 22:56:26 +0000 UTCLin is my number one. She's such a strong character. She's just a maid but she's trying to hard to fight for the freedom of her people. I love how she grows into being comfortable in her role. Some of my favorite scenes are when she gets sassy with some of the other girls haha.
Zjoee
2021-03-19 22:51:55 +0000 UTCI thought Ashley was just going to be the generic crazy girl, but her story is so sad and she grows so much. I teared up a little when she was just happy that everyone remembered her birthday.
Zjoee
2021-03-19 22:48:18 +0000 UTCLin has been my favorite since I first found this game. But Ashley has shot right up beside her very quick.
Rio
2021-03-19 22:33:53 +0000 UTCplease dont focus on sex, just give us balance story and sex๐ญ

2021-03-19 22:33:40 +0000 UTCwhy Ashley have lowest vote!!!???? haaaaaaa

Runey
2021-03-19 22:22:11 +0000 UTCAshley and Android will be connecting over a commonality in v0.13, it's actually the most developed scene I have for the next update :) Ashley is developing away from being controlling, clingy, and desperate for attention. I don't think she has ever been very manipulative, but especially after recent events, she will grow a lot.
Runey
2021-03-19 22:22:01 +0000 UTCExpect some sexy times soon :)
Runey
2021-03-19 22:16:46 +0000 UTCI love Lin for the whole independent and sassy streak she has. Also, I've been playing this with my wife, and Lin's been her favorite character, in part, because she sees most character's backstories as "bad relationship with their dad." Second would be a tie between the Android and Kali (although those stories are very intertwined.)
A
2021-03-19 21:44:00 +0000 UTCEach update keeps bumping Ashley up more up my list. Stop it! You're making literally all of them my favorites!
Happy Salmon
2021-03-19 21:42:17 +0000 UTCI like them all... Lin, Ashley, Kali, Maria, Felicity & Emma are my favorites though.
Drakan259
2021-03-19 21:41:15 +0000 UTCI think Kali is going to remain number 1 girl for a long time, I can't find any faults in her really. Felicity and Emma are also really good characters and have a nice story. Autumn, I love the slow corruption of the religious girl. It's a really great experience seeing her grow and become more comfortable with another side of herself. I don't see how it's possible Ashley and Android are tied currently. Android just has such great development in her short story. The entire psycho thing with Ashley kills me and makes me want to interact with her the least. She's controlling, manipulative, clingy, bull-headed, and desperate for any amount of attention no matter what it is that gives that attention. Sure her story is kinda touching, but even toward the end I couldn't trust her. Maybe my strong dislike of her is partially because I've had a few irl relationships with girls like her, one of which police had to be involved. I'll leave it at that, this probably isn't the place to go into that.
2021-03-19 21:39:54 +0000 UTCJust to give a few ideas/suggestions, btw. I do like some of the new elements ("sleep with" options, the new alarm clock options, and some of the UI changes in their rooms).
Kim Akerรธ
2021-03-19 21:34:59 +0000 UTCNot really sure if it was intentional, but I selected all of them... Ashley is still best girl
2021-03-19 21:34:34 +0000 UTCOf the mains, Lin is my absolute favorite, and it's tough to pick the next ones on a ranked list. I'd definitely like to see more of Autumn (story+sex), Emma (story, but also a few more sex positions), Kali (story), as well as further story with Lin (especially her peacemaking efforts, and showing off that her relationship with the MC is more than just master-slave, but actual love). The new story with Maria was really tough on the heart, but I'd like to see a further development on this storyline (where her and MC, or any of the other characters, would be able to regain some of the things she lost during this story). Also, if possible, I'd love to see adjustments to dialogue/art in "old" scenes (sex/excursions) when their relationship grows stronger. Such as, a kitchen BJ with Lin or Android at level 10 would happen a bit differently at level 30 or 40.
Kim Akerรธ
2021-03-19 21:32:39 +0000 UTCI love them all!!! But I think I enjoy interacting with Kali (w/Lucia), Emma, and Felicity more simply because they're sisters and I enjoy a nice Mรฉnage ร Trois with them. Lin is sweet and serving. Maria's just fun! The android (I named her Andrea) is a treat. Autumn is an innocent flower just waiting to bloom fully and be picked. Ashley ....? I may piss off some "Team Ashley" people ...But she's my least favorite. I find her just a little too clingy and needy. Self-centric. I know her story and background is a bit touching, but she's just a little too head-strong for my tastes with the obsession to become pregnant constantly.
Lighthawk Demon
2021-03-19 21:22:30 +0000 UTCReally nice to see Maria get some love. Sheโs one of my favorites and sometimes I feel like she gets a bad rap.
Cronshaw
2021-03-19 21:21:05 +0000 UTCLoving Maria and Ashley a lot more after the latest update, but Autumn will fucking skyrocket if we get to chance to really corrupt her. I want that redhead tied up in the dungeon ASAP lol
Derek Garrard
2021-03-19 21:20:57 +0000 UTCLin will always be best girl
Gherkin Aurora
2021-03-19 21:14:28 +0000 UTCLin will always be my top 1, she's so incredibly cute, but very strong too. Love Maria too. Poor Maria in this last update, just made me love her even more. I do like the elven genes in Maria, Ashley and Hana and what effect is has on them.
Kennyannydenny
2021-03-19 21:13:35 +0000 UTCLin was and still is my favorite, but Ashley have got up to second after her crazyness was cured and she becamse more normal. Just wish there was more of her in her original hair color I really liked that.
Anyien
2021-03-19 21:09:17 +0000 UTCAutumn and Kali!
John Adcox
2021-03-19 21:05:09 +0000 UTCLove how shy and submissive Kali, Lin and Emma are
2021-03-19 21:00:04 +0000 UTCJeez you're gonna have to make me choose? Lol. Def Kali for me tho, after much thought.
Mike Ska
2021-03-19 20:58:48 +0000 UTCAutumn is a great character, I can't wait to corrupt her further.
2021-03-19 20:54:23 +0000 UTCKali, Felicity, Emma, Maria, Ashley.. in that order. I mean, I don't hate the others at all. I like all of them but it sucks that it's a top 5.
evog35viii
2021-03-19 20:53:27 +0000 UTCLin for the Win! Android 2nd, Didn't like Felicity in the first play thru but she rocketed up to #3 in the 2nd and 3rd play thru after I started understanding her more
Deltor
2021-03-19 20:53:17 +0000 UTCKali is definitely my favorite and it would be cool to have more or different sex interactions with her sister. The standing fuck for android and Felicity in the dungeon is top notch I'd like to see more interactions with the side characters though
2021-03-19 20:52:25 +0000 UTCShould have renamed the poll "Who's your favorite main characters, and why is it Felicity and Emma?" :P
2021-03-19 20:51:59 +0000 UTCLin and Kali are probaby my favorite, but a lot of that is just because they've had themost content to fill them out. I'd love to see some more story content for the lesser developed characters. Felicity, Emma, and Autumn. Some good story content, and a little more sexy times.
Theodrax
2021-03-19 20:51:21 +0000 UTCAnd I canโt forget about Android, sheโs great too.
Alternate5
2021-03-19 20:50:59 +0000 UTCGod, I love what was done with Ashley, itโs so wonderful seeing her so happy with her life; Linโs story is becoming more interesting with her involvement making things better for the elves; and thereโs the twist with Maria, which I enjoyed, and I canโt wait to see what becomes of her story.
Alternate5
2021-03-19 20:48:09 +0000 UTCKali is best, but I want to see more Autumn. Definitely more story, I like the way her character is developing and opening up.
mugatu
2021-03-19 20:48:03 +0000 UTCLin's just such a lovely girl, she's magnetic. Ashley's a gorgeously written example of how it can change someone's life to just be kind to them. And Autumn...well, it's always really goddamn hot to be a bad influence on a good girl.
Geth Who
2021-03-19 20:43:38 +0000 UTCI'm going full Kali, she's the best of the best, at least in my opinion. Nerdy, cute and wealthy but trying not to look like it
Vithar
2021-03-19 20:42:50 +0000 UTCFelicity* best girl
Acid~
2021-03-19 20:42:33 +0000 UTCWhat would you like to see? More story? More sex?
Runey
2021-03-19 20:42:07 +0000 UTCPlz, I want to see more content of Emma and Autumn.
Manny
2021-03-19 20:41:34 +0000 UTCKali and Lin, honestly the most perfect 'waifus' I've ever seen in any VA I've played. ^^
