Your feedback about the game-play
🕑 Added 2025-04-27 14:22:38 +0000 UTCI read a lot of things yesterday, I also asked on discord.
There are many things that I "knew" but I totally underestimated the weight of it.
I did many changes in DH, because I thought some things were useless, but in fact it wasn't.
I am really glad about you because you didn't just said the things you liked, most of you really tried to explain the reasons, it helped me a lot to understand.
I have to admit that I agree with most of the feedback.
___
As I intend to sell the game on Steam, I need to make DH a lot better.
I will take decisions in the next few days, for now I took a lot of notes, I wait to finish and post the next update before starting the work for real.
=> I will make a game-play rework of Divine Heel.
I cannot include all of the feedback because it would be too much work, but I can use some.
___
I made a summary of the repeated things, that I agree on:
Game-play:
More focus on evolutive scenes, repeatable. It means more daily life event, that changed with the character's progression, similar to CwG, I think to do like "Rank", they change rank after some event and event changes.
However I would like to keep the previous rank scenes so you don't "miss" them like in CwG.
it also include non-sexual events to increase desire, like having fun together doing something.Event not automatically unlocked: Maybe there will be introduction to statistics like sex skill and Desire. Repeatable scenes increase desire, that are requested to progress in individual events.
I also thought of different statistics like Control skill, sex skill, etc... but maybe I should go with just 1 not to make it too complicated.Exploration, it goes along with adding many more repeatable scenes, it's the fact you can find event more often on the map, or find something else like a magazine that explain how to be better at sex and BIM you gain sex skill points.
I even thing of one time character like a girl can give you a Blowjob around the club, that increase your sex skill.Money, buying them things. I could, but I know I didn't exploit it super good in CwG, but there is already too much game-play to add so I put the money stuff aside, in order not to be too lost.
There is a possible choice I will do, that some of you will not like: It's possible I make Marina and Naj side character for real again, like at the very beginning of the game. It means they would still be there, but not a final datable character, probably they would be here to train your sex skill. I will probably remove that romantic aspect of naj.
I think it's kind of obvious that there is only 3 main girls, only 3 live with you. When Naj and Marina were released, the hype was high so I said like "okay I will give them more content".
It's not good to change characters, but at the same time the game is in production so it's exactly at this moment that I can change things, before the game is done.
This will let me make more content for the daily repeatable event for the 3 main girls.
Stories:
Issue with the fact there is no reason not to have sex directly.
I should make it like there is something that forbid you, you are engaged, or maybe the desire is not directly at the beginning and grow up later.
I think it's true, but it's complicated now, maybe too late, I will think about that for future characters.Useless plots: The impotent plot, or even Jax, were not that impactful in the end, it's true. About Jax I will not change it (there is some said things that it in the lore but I am not sure if it will be revealed in the game), the only thing that could change is to give him presence in the house, You could cross him doing his shit.
About the impotent, I don't know, I think I will keep it.
It's true that I made complicated plot that are not needed.Smaller environment. I added a big map that feels empty. I think next time I will make smaller environment. It should be less empty after I add more daily life event though.
___ Consequence on the game and future updates
(After I post the next update about Marina and Naj)
I will probably work on a big game-play rework, for May's update.
I will try to update the game-play without having to change the actual events.
It might require many updates I don't know, this is what I will do first:
Addition of Statistics, sex skill, Desire.
Adding position system for all events (you see the character in the map to trigger the event, no more event button click), character can only be at 1 position at the same time.
More day steps events (repeatable, permanent) probably I will give them different position every day, doing different things.
Some daily event evolution, I will start to give evolution to some events. So it will be like new scenes to see, not for all yet, but it will come.
(Split of the introduction to make it less long before you start on the map.)
I think for 1 month it should be enough, then after that:
Statistics become mandatory to trigger unique events. Also to unlock repeatable evolution.
Probably Desire required to progress individual events, and maybe these individual event will be requested to progress in the main events, or the reverse, I will see.Maybe more evolution of repeatable events, more extra event to gain statistics or scenes with randoms
I will see after that what is requested to work on.
Anyway in maybe I will post the progression. Individual events are on a break, until I setup the nice new game-play. The content, sex scenes, you will have will be from the daily live events, for the next months. (Miji can reach sex in these daily life events)
I want to make the game a lot better and give this feeling of wanting to play it again.
I personally don't like more the characters of CwG over DH, but it's true that I think CwG is much more "fun" to play.
Everything can quickly evolve or change, I am talking with what I feel right now, I finish the next update of Dh in the next very few days and then I work on this more precisely.

Not bad ideas but I would like to add Miji to get knocked up as well.

I don't think removing characters should be a thing, I mean, maybe reworking how they're introduced no? Like why IS Marina near Paradise so often? Perhaps she is a step-daughter or a kid from a ex marriage of Jax's? And Naj could be a security guard FOR Paradise?

So, I believe that people who were relating this game to CWG for the most part dropped the ball when responding, they were just comparing this unfinished game to the Success of CWG and that is wrong, considering this is a different game with a different premise. it is still the same universe but it seems like they just want a remake of CWG( just play CWG then). my person take is that the alure of the game is def there and the relationships are progressing nicely, there are a few things that people dont seem to get about relationships between some of the characters and thats fine, this is afterall an unfinished product. I do agree that there should be a progression system in teh game even if its not as intricate os CWG. i also agree that some of the characters need a little bit more build up. but also. some situations like with mira are great as they are, getting right to it as fast as u can is fine not every single character needs to have some long drawn out 40,000 word dialog set of making these choice to build up to the "climax" because at that point it just gets to repetitive. A cleaner UI would be nice and maybe a gallery. other than that i dont ahve much since i know this is still very early in development so anything else i could think of is out of place because you guys havent had the chance to implement it yet. but the creativity and art work show real talent and im here for it.

one last thing in regards to the RPG gameplay elements. doesn't the blessing from the angle automatically makes Vlad good at everything sexual? ( minus maybe stamina, and touching himself )
foolmonky777
the only critique i can give is; you use a lot of descriptive language to illustrate character actions (fantastic writing by the way 10/10) but those actions are not shown visually. Though that all maybe in the pipeline down the road

With Rosa I would love to have more scenes and the possibility of getting her pregnant, of course, if possible, and for her to have a buff on her butt, and with Naj I don't think it would be necessary to eliminate her. Because Naj is not Jasmine's sister and Jasmine is the character's childhood friend where she can add a fun dynamic and well with Mariana, to be honest I go more for Rosa Jasmine and Naj and miji But it's your decision and thank you for giving us this great game. Well take care and rest eroniverse πβοΈ(β ^β ^β )
Jamie
I think removing Naj is a bad call
Yep
A thought instead of having so many characters have 2-3 with different variations of them. You could recycle most graphics and just change the text. Could make multiple play throughs more exciting crafting different kinds of girl personalities. But I do think there is way too much dialog in the beginning.
Frostbit
I'm just going to give props for actually listening to your player base unlike a few devs I've encountered. Looking forward to a more successful DH and future games.
Takumi Ichiro
Excited to see the next update!!!
Taz
Damn, naj was my #2 by far π.
M G
I don't personally feel removing them as characters is necessary, I think for me Marina's character just needs to be fleshed out more. Much like with Jasmina (her reactions with MC feel too forced). Maybe having Jasmina actually having known MC growing up and lay in hard on the childhood friend trope (something Naj is aware of, but MC is 100% clueless on? It could give credence to WHY Jasmina is so clingy to MC and calling him best friend right away (MC flat out doesn't remember her). There are ways without altering the start of the game one could fill in to make each character "deeper" and their roles making more sense.

If you have some random events around the town you could still include Naj and Marina and they're friends of the girls inside so you could have the occasionally have repeatedly events inside depending on the day of the week.

Naj is one of my favs. Please put this game on Steam and I will buy it day one
Reb
I like a lot of the ideas here the only thing Iβm bummed out about is Naj. But I think you could still give her and Marina a decent amount of content if you stick with the whole they upgrade your skills mini game
Sama
Will you guys add this game on steam?
lostxckx
Naj is my favorite girl :(
Lord Eagle
I think your thought on "progressing" the daily events would be a good idea, as long as there is progression. For example, the daily cleaning with Jas on the roof, when they have their "sword fight," it could become more playful with some foreplay and eventually leading to a more intimate outcome. I also think if you are going to choose between Naj and Marina as to who should be more in the story, I think Naj moving into the house would make more sense, as Marina already lives at that other apartment. Just my 2 cents. Thank you again for actually listening and reading our comments. I, for one, feel very much appreciated which is wonderful from the creator of such a great game.
Skyethe
It's good tho
Skyethe
The scenes should be able to be replayed or add more and more π½ scenes it's not enough. Then there is the police wuman etc
Shane
It's nice seeing a creator actually taking in the feedback and actually laying out with what they agree with its nice to see that you care for our opinions but I do agree with some of the comments I enjoy Naj and Marina would be sad to see them sidelined I hope you can find a way to work them into the house without burning yourself out or stressing out trying to appease everyone we want you to enjoy the game just as we do
kurt allen
Maybe have naj or marina each have few teaching sex skills scenes then only one can move in based on how you get jax out, so if marina helps get proof she moves in to feel safe or if you go to naj to look into him she moves in to protect everyone meaning you can endings for 5 solo romance girls and 2 different harem endings, then add a special ending where he gets all 5 girls that's unlocked after all endings and maybe finding 4 hidden pics of cwg girls before the jax getting kicked out part
Blicky
Thatβs the main thing I want Ero to do! Make something YOU love while still making it enjoyable for the players supporters, Iβm glad he asked for feedback tho just donβt want him to change too much and then not like it anymore
Blicky
Still a good game overall Iβm looking forward to see what you have in store for us within these next couple updates with the new gameplay! Would like to see how things will change and how the branch system will work (if youβre still going to keep that in the game) Glad you asked us for feedback to see what was wrong with the game to open your eyes more and give something for us all to enjoy while still making your game how you like it/want it to be! I would love to see more kissing scenes in the future since it was something you loved and put a lot of work into and you were passionate about it, βtwas great and we need moreπ£οΈβΌοΈ

What ELK said. Maybe just slow down their introduction to the 'house' until after the other relationships have progressed. Until then, have them as recuring encounters. Just my two bits. Otherwise, you are the one in the arena. Make what you love.
EvilLordKitten
In the part I disagree is on naj and marina being sidelined I personally think that is not necessary at all, like another guy said they might be able to move in at some point and it could give them a good start by changing a bit of their dynamic about their relationship not being in the house at first so you interact with them in other places until maybe later you end up with them entering the house too
Ricky Williams
I wouldn't say getting rid of Marina or Naj is a good move - them not being 'in the house' gives them something interesting in terms of an alternative 'starting point'. I mean they could theoretically move in, if you progress with them. But, I see the practicalities of leaving them to hang back a little bit. I just like them so I'm playfully grouchy, heh.

I think the game is perfect as it is "now." What it ultimately becomes will only be revealed in time.
