Alright, so this is it. I don't know how to feel about this update. I knew we would have to tackle it at some point, but it was always far away in my mind.
First of all, for the things that were added. 21k words~, 6 CG sets, and 1 sex scene. I know, 1 sex scene sounds low when we're at this point in the story, but it is how it is.
Now, it will sound kind of hollow coming from me since I say it pretty much every single time. But this worries me. I tried my best to think of a way to avoid what's happening in this update… but it's not possible. This is the problem with Aya, pretty much. I never thought she was compatible with NTR, and this update encapsulates the reason why perfectly. I won't say more about it until after everyone had the chance to play the update, but that's just my personal opinion and I want to share it.
I also feel let down by how the sex scene ended up looking like. I wanted to animate it, but it would have cost too much. Also, the direction could have been better. I tried something, but I think it didn’t work all that well.
Other important scenes are also suffering from bad direction, I feel like. I know it's a visual novel, and there's a limit to how I can portray things, but it still doesn't mean I can't be disappointed by it. In my head, I had a very clear image of what I wanted to show… but it lacks something. It's hard to put into words.
In any case! I know me, whining, is stupid. I should be building up hype, not shooting it with a shotgun. So I'll stop here. Depending on people's reactions, I'll post something more thorough in the next couple of weeks explaining my thoughts on the matter. For now, happy disappointment!
