Heck, this was absolutely perfect. Everything was so fucking smoothsailing : you start by liking the game mechanics, the immersion, then the world, the characters, the intrigue... then when the flashbacks and the moral dilemmas started coming I was hella hooked. 
This gave me so much substance, so much inspiration, emotion and reflexion--I think that's precisely the kind of stuff I wanna read, play and eventually create, if I'm so lucky. Thank you
I compared it a lot to Avatar in my head, 'cause I think this is what I would have liked to find in the movies.
Got ending 10 on my first playthrough, I'll probably wait a bit to try to find the other ones, to recover. I'm curious.

Oh, and I found a few misgendering bugs with Shay's character that I was too caught up in the story to properly report, I'll try to find them.

Hey ! um, I got a question : at the start of the jerk off sequence, the choice "ask him to jerk you off too" seems to lead to our MC jerking Kaito off, but it's phrased weirdly ? Like' we're asking him to jerk us off, but he's already doing it ? 
Not my first language, could be I'm just confused X)

Hmm, I dunno. I'm kind of on the fence, but as is, I don't think it bothers me that much. Sure, it was definitely a shocker, and I definitely wanna see how it's treated afterwards, cause, yeah, it needs to be adressed...
But, it kinda makes sense ? I don't think it's that out of character for Haruki, and as for Yuuichi... yeah, sure, he's been weird. I think it's got two causes : 
first, this route came in late. Gotta catch up. So all the 'common' stuff gets squeezed, cause, well, we already read it. Hence all the ellypsis, too. And Haruki's not in their group, so it'd be hard to fit him in. I'm guessing (hoping ?) this'll change later
second, I think the angle of this route is different, too-- it's far more physical. It started as a kiss, grew as attraction, and, after Yuu's realization, has been building up and penting up for some time--especially with all the teasing. While it's not as 'romantic' as the other routes from the get-go, I still think it's a valid angle to explore, an interesting one to read, and quite plausible--especially at this age. We already know he was quite sexually active with his previous girlfriends. The guy got urges.  *and* he's a prude. People are full of contradictions.
not saying everything's fine as is, I get why people are shocked, and I'm curious to see how we're gonna evolve after that (I doubt they'll stay at the 'fuck bully' stage), but... Idk. I'm ok with it.It happens. I'll see where it goes.

okay, so ! I did a bit of research and tweaking in the property panel--I don't know if it's a compatibility error, but I had to go in the emulation settings and deactivate hybrid execution mode (? Not sure if it's the english name for that)
So, no idea what it means, what was the matter or even what is a virtual machine, but the game works ! (for now, at least. Although, I can't seem to find the settings menu in the game--was it removed, or is it just a side-effect ?)
Anyway, excited to see what's new !

Hey, um, I don't know why, but I can't launch the game. I changed computers since the last I played, but I'm still under windows.
Got that error text : 

OS:  Workstation, No ServicePack

CPU: Virtual CPU ,  Unknown, MMX @ 3220 MHz

Module name: C:\Users\yorth\Downloads\Dom_MinionV4.0\Game.exe

Hey, I played through the mayor scene where you go to his bed drunk, and the scene is on repeat-- the dialogue keeps looping and you can't go back to the story (can't even access the menu to exit the game, as escape advances dialogue)

I got some other stuff !
Two minor ones in the university gym (yeah, I got there thanks to your help) where you can walk through water dispensers and towel racks (scaling up the walls a bit)
And a more important one, I'm pretty sure I chose cognitive science as a major but still ended up with hypnosis classes

Um, I feel ridiculous being stuck this early, but I tried pretty much everything-- I'm supposed to go see the mayor, I think ? At least that's way Jay is saying. I got two out of three old scrolls thanks to his other instructions, but for the love of me I can't find the mayor. There's our home, Damien's home, the shop, the tavern, the church, the cave, and none of them have the mayor ?

I guess I need the mayor's scroll to unlock the summoning thingy in the cave ? And/or the university ?

Hey, I found some stuff (I have no idea how to take a screenshot though, sorry)

First, I don't know if it's a bug really, but when a door opens,it disappears and you see the wall of the building in its place. It's not game breaking or anything, you do enter the building, but I think it breaks the immersion a bit ? In other RPGM games I played, the door opened on a black square of sorts, like it actually opened on the inside of the building. Seeing the wall is a bit weird.

Second, in the cave, there's a mural of a dragon in one of the first upper rooms that you can go through, allowing you to climb on the walls/ceiling.

And last, one of Jay's (the nerd in the tavern) questions, "How are you ?", leads to nothing. I don't know if it's a bug or if nothing was written yet.

On another note, I'm glad you're working on another project and will look forward to more of this game !

Gotta say, I think Haruki's route has become my favorite (even though Keisuke's still in my heart)
I usually wait for his update to come out to DL the latest version, gives the others a couple days too.
That was a really nice update, I can't wait to see what's gonna happen next ! They're so frigging adorable...
it's gonna be eight long months :-:

Um, anyone else got the 'next' button hiding dialogue options ?

So, the comments mention a part 1 and a part 2, but I don't see them in the files... is the game supposed to end in the cell after the voyage in the box, or does it continue ? Great game, by the way

That was
like, really good.

No, I downloaded it on my laptop...

Hey, am I the only one whose game is lagging ? I have no idea why... I get by for most fights, but I'm stuck at the pink sputter fight, it's really making the game difficult when you're at 5fps ><
Any advice ?
(I had the same bug on Grove, but it was only on some moments, and I think I was not the only one)

Wooow, I loved it ! So much revelations ! God !
I'm very very much into the story. I love the way you build your world. Also I love every single character and I can feel that at some point something terrible is gonna happen and I'm soooo not ready for that ><
I may begin to translate this, it could be interesting and it's not that long ! (I'm french and I love translating stuff, especially stories I love) I mean I won't do anything with it, it's just for fun ! although, if I ever finish it I'll gladly give it to you
I'm really curious about the rest of the story now :)

I truly loved it ! (and admire you for writing it). I'll wait diligently for the next chapters :)

wow. I was rarely so immersed in a story here. Even the worldbuilding got to me ! Also, glad this is being currently worked on ; I might have not survived had this been abandoned... I want to know what's next !!
I'm totally into this. Great work !

Oooh ! What a wonderful surprise ! It was nice to dive back in, and I'm glad this is still in progress ! I love this storie and it's characters (okay, maybe especially Matt...)
I hope you're doing well (I can imagine the stress of handling work, life, AND a project) and I'm super excited to read chapter 5 !

Okay, I'm gonna repeat myself ; but WOW
I liked the mini series so f*cking much, I was sooo into it, and immersed with the characters, and the plot, and the montage of it all, like, can you please actually write stuff for netflix or something ? You actually got me sleep deprived because I was so engrossed in your story I kept on reading almost all night ! So much emotions ! And the bittersweet/sadness of it all... Lord !
And even outside of that, I was touched by the talks with Matt and Youssef... and I know I didn't read it all, so there's even more... and the amount of work you put into it ! You even branched the eliminations at the end ! I was wondering if that was gonna happen, and am genuinely impressed. Still sad to see a new character quit the adventure every time... but I can't wait to read the rest of it
Bravo !

Good one ! Although it's criminal to tease us that much with Boris for just a bit of shoulder rubbin' :3
I was expecting lust's influence to help Resnick cave in to his emerging slutty side, but in the end I felt like not influencing him left him sluttier, in a way. It was surprising.
Could be just an impression though
I'll be waiting for the next one ! :)

Okay, at some point I started giving Jimmi Tristan's voice from YGOTAS and now I can't stop X)

Okay, so, that's amazing news, but I gotta let the hormones speak :
Grrr, Can't wait to see more of Neil and Ivan...
(nooo, I'm not cheating on Sawyer, just looking at the menu, and well, technically, if it happens in another reality/save....:p)

Yeah, I get that. I remember most of the plots making me laugh, that's one of the reasons I turned towards written pornography.

That's really cool, I don't think most people (me first) see the humans behind porn actors and actresses, and sex workers in general, so big kudos on you for that, really.

Aaw, it's gonna be really cool to read !

By the way, I forgot, but I noticed a few typos ; I hope it's no bother that I report them here, I don't know where I can do it :

A couple of "teh", in Episode 1 I'll make you a star (most of teh time) and in Episode 2 script with Hugo and Yousef (around teh campfire)

Also a couple of "paste", in Episode 1 : Making her like me P2 (way paste that point) and maybe in Episode 2 : Day 2 morning with Damon where I think you meant "keep going at that pace" instead of "at that paste", but I could be wrong, not my native language.

And an "ove" in Episode 2: safe with Hugo and Youssef (i'm ove the fucking moon)

Sorry if you've already corrected them^^`

G'day !

Wow, I really really liked it !
I mean I didn't have any kind of expectations, but man I really got into the characters and I love how you talk about the porn industry and sex workers ! Idk, it feels human. And the concept is good !
Also I kinda noticed I was maybe too much into it when I started debating with myself over the qualities of the movies' plots and concept lmao (God I loved Mommy's Boy ! And I'm gay so I took no pleasure in reading it ! That's a testament to how good your ideas are !)
it was less the case with episode 2, but I just explored the hell out of episode 1 so i was getting kinda tired ><
Anyway. Can't choose between the guys, can't get over the loss of the two eliminated candidates, and can't wait for episode 3 !
Hoping my english is correct, please keep up the good work and... I don't know, live a good life ?
Xo

Just found out (after playing through the game like four to five times) that there were more than four save slots
><

Hey ! I've only stumbled recently on this game but I loved it instantly ! The universe is really cool, I love all the cast and I could tell you are really invested in your game, it's really a little gem !
Anyway, just wanted to say, love it, love your work, sending you lots of love !
(oh, and to answer the actual post, yeah, the pricing of a ""premium"" double NSFW version does sound fair, you definitely deserve to earn some kind of money with that, especially with the amount of work and passion you put in !)
xoxo!

Wow, I had no idea Chris was meant to have a route ! I always found him especially annoying, and some of his scenes gave me a "seems-nice-but-secretly-psycho" vibe, so that's a surprise !
Following this game purely on itch, I didn't know there were stretch goals too ; I mean, I was kinda hoping with Kane, but the last scene we got with him got rid of any hopes I had, really. Painful to read. Didn't do any good to the shrinking empathy I feel towards Ben, either
Anyway, I hope you'll feel better ! I like the thriller atmosphere of this game, and trying to connect the dots. So, I still think your depth did some good :)
Looking forward to the end of this one and your next projects !

hey ! First of all, love it, this is nice, I wanna see what's gonna happen next ! I really like the fighting system!
I haven't played for long cause I really gotta sleep, but I found a bug in the scene with rin, when losing the card game : "Error: the passage "|nerdCardsDefeatClothed2" does not exist"
I think I went "want to take them off->say nothing", but I'm not entirely sure...
Hope it helps !
'night !

Wow, really great ! So great I wish there was more X)
Doesn't surprise me 'cause I read Demons Within, but yeah, definitely love your work ! Was reaaally nice seeing Drekkar in all those dire situations... eheh
Can't wait to see what you'll do next !

For a second I thought I was imagining things X) that's a really cool detail/joke!

How have I never noticed before that the Ai's weird language at the beginning of the game is made of little people fucking ?

yay ! Always love a good hero corrupting story !

kitten eyes in wait

hey ! Been a while since I've checked this game out, it has really grown ! It was one of my first gay VN experiences back then, it's nice to see those routes finished ! And I was surprised to see there are new routes now ! That's cool ! Love your work, I'm glad to see you really stuck with your game for so long, it's heartwarming !
Do we know if there are gonna be other routes later ? (like, one with a certain huge tiger, let's say ? Re-playing Darius' route gave me some cravings XD) Seriously though, how big will it turn out to be ? With Dwayne popping out of nowhere, it really expends the possibilities 0-o
Not that I'd object having more, still a pleasure to read those romances, you made me love so many characters <3
Anyway. Thank you, I guess ?
xoxo !

Absolutely loved it !  my gooooooood !
This is really not good for my crushing-on-Blake situation ! Despite Oliver still being in my heart... but Blake and James are so freaking cute together ! (but also so annoyingly hopeless I just wanted to jump in there and bump their lips together sometimes !)
Although I guess in the end everyone got what they wanted... *wink wink*
So, yeah, that was really cool, can't wait for the rest ! (like aaaaaargh that tension but also don't overwork yourself)
xoxo !

youhouh ! Can't wait to read it !

yup, this promise to be the start of something really good ! I can't wait ! It's really well written, and the system is original, it will be very interesting to play :p
