Hi there guys, 

As you probably saw in my last post there is some hate on the sandbox part of the game and I would like to see your opinion, because usually the guys who enjoy the game and support it don't say a thing, while the haters will find something to say.

So I think about three solutions.
1. Keep the game as Sandbox
I will be expand the game much more

2. Move completely to Visual Novel game
I will be a little bit limited, but I will try to integrate most of the events, and instead of jumping back in the room once you've done something you'll jump to another scene.

3. Limited free roaming
I will make the game exactly like NMS was. Limited free roaming, which will evolve based on the story.

4. Make a menu where the user decides what kind of gameplay they want.
The only downside for this is that it might take more time between versions because I need to cover two sides of the story.

The votes will be counted and the score will be based on your pledge.

Best regards,
Jason

There's too many VN's already. They're ideal for people who just want to skip through the game to get to the spicy bits, but a sandbox makes it a better game. It also allows you to focus on the girls you're interested in instead of being forced through stuff you don't really care about.

I like the potential that Sandbox can provide but please try to limit the amount of grinding and needles busywork. I don't mind grinding a little bit but to me it is really off putting to grind something just to be rewarded with progressing the story only slightly forward and having a small scene that will eventually just incentivise further grinding to further progress. I can only imagine it being a tricky balance to handle but no matter the balance, the content should always justify the time i had to spend reaching it. For example in this version i felt i had to take too many massage courses and put to much money into that just for my massage level to improve by one stat point and ever so slightly progress but that's just my opinion.
