Re: Umichan Maiko Class Cheat kickstart hentai project
I'm gonna come off completely blunt (apologies on how this sounds.) this isn't gonna hit it's goal and appease the H fans in content.
While I greatly applaud the creator for making such a bold move, I feel that you are selling it to the wrong crowd here. I will admit, maybe I'm wrong and it will get funded, but that doesn't seem likely at all.
First and foremost: thanks to kickstarter's TOS you can't mention and showcase the sexual gameplay (anyone who knows the word hentai will understand this, but anyone else who isn't privy is gonna be kinda shellshocked by it. This goes double if this campaign gets popular and gets featured in the newsletter.) that in and of itself is a red flag and a turn off for me.
That being said though, it doesn't appear to need much in the way of funding which i think is a very good thing. At the same time, while the art itself isn't terrible (*looks around the older pages of the forums*) and suffers from a lot of sameface, this can be fixed with some time and effort. For example, the eyes can be shrunk slightly, and the faces can be adjusted along the jawlines (more can also be done but this is what could be minimum effort so as not to be massively time consuming and therefore possibly need more funding.).
If this doesn't work out on kickstarter, I would suggest going the way that Fenoxo did with his second game TiTS and put it up on Offbeatr. From there you can showcase all of the game and not have to worry about it being removed. I highly suggest Offbeatr since it looks like so much effort has been placed into the game.
In terms of content, it looks like there will be much to do and that is a big plus. But I am rather leery since we can't showcase any H content and only have the word of someone and no pics or even a video. So if it is at all possible, I would like to see some of the H content (likely on this thread to avoid kickstarter's TOS).
The only other questions I have are:
Are the relationships strictly guy/girl or can there be girl/girl (also, can it be possible to avoid the scenes which the player prefers not to pursue?)? Further, is there any guy/guy content (and if so can it be avoided?)?
For the sexclubs, are they based on simply people exploring sexuality or are they specific to certain types of kinks (bdsm for example.)?
For the prostitution, is it going to affect the PC in a more corruption type of change (as in leads to a bad end, or is it more like being an escort?)?
Is the rape affecting only the PC or is it affecting NPCs as well? Is it also only accessible by bad end?
I believe that covers all that I was looking at so I think I'll leave it at that.
TL;DR VERSION: The lack of H content being showcased has me unsure on this game. There are a few questions on the H content. I would like to see some of it and have some questions answered on it. It seems like it won't work on kickstarter but if it doesn't I suggest trying it on Offbeatr.com. There is also a concern about anatomy and I think a few suggestions from these forums would help to improve the game greatly.
