Here's some TL boring research/critique/review I did about the game while I was in pain thanks to my weak stomach being a bitch to paracetamol/aspirin acid tablets, so DR if you are not interested: TEXT WALL ALERT
Some time ago I thought they just abandoned the game because the "low interest" I thought they had and their "Monthly updates" taking ages to be released, but here we are, they keep running ... their patreon has 269 patrons (At least 269 dollars a month), also they have a patreon for the other sci-fi game.
This thing is old (But not as old as HTH, the never to be completed scam lol), their FA and SF pages are registered since Nov. 16, 2014; the game was being advertised since ~April 2015 and according to this journal (http://www.furaffinity.net/journal/7840677/) the game came out Oct. 5, 2015.
The game itself its pretty basic, go around, sweet-talk someone, pay 25 coins (2~2.5 dollars), get an erotic scene, repeat.
So, the overall quality is quite low. But why?
The company owning it apparently comes from the Netherlands and the game is Copyrighted, they should have some standards...
Featuring:
Overall bad/meh voice acting: I mean, I'm not an expert but you can hear how unprofessional the voice acting is, most sound really forced on the cringy lines, some sound uninspired, the audio quality varies a lot, and even there are dialogues that change of volume. Here we have 2 examples:
1.- Eshal: Dragon found at the game's first zone, gotta say I liked her design and since how she looks I expected her to have a bubbly personality, but no, you can hear how uninspired the voice actress is while recording her lines, mostly the first lines, this makes her sound really serious when her sprite is looking happy among other similar cases; here's her dialogue to achieve the sex scene: (https://mega.nz/#!GowwTILB!wTw2RpugLNEeDdwVdMoisckNJwFhCQVIQ1wVjNGzu64)
2.- Sophie: Cacomistle found at the reception. Her voice acting is better than our previous example, reads most punctuation points as they should be, the mood changes are notorious and don't sound too fake. Obviously, there's a lot of room to improve. Here's her dialogue to achieve the sex scene: (https://mega.nz/#!2sg2yawJ!Bl_mUphD-vm8XrEnTSm5JaLXP8PuIUgaY5BNQ8ULQx0)
But if voice actors are winning 50 dollars per dialogue tree, at least they should try harder. (https://www.furaffinity.net/journal/8198412)
The monetization method: Scenes are really cheap, but, even when the scenes cost 25 coins, the minimum amount of coins you can buy is 100~120 (10 dollars).
The artwork: We have come to the part that kills the game for most of the people, the goddamn artwork. It's not good.
But my question is, What happened here? If we go back to when they were starting to promote their game, the artwork was different...
Look at this image: (https://e621.net/post/show/635703), it's not so bad.
This one too: (https://e621.net/post/show/636126), it's decent. (If you ignore those thin and long fingers)
And the last one, a regular environment: (https://www.furrybeachclub.com/images/background.jpg)
Now look at this: (https://static.tumblr.com/a07dc055cf67f6c4942589f0f241cf59/cqihevn/QDbp7sx77/tumblr_static_a3pdsqm6w2woc0gc000kogw04.jpg)
What happened? But, the artwork in-game has even lower quality.
Here's one of the worst downgrade examples:

The "animations" are terrible, worse than HTH or Jason, I don't really wanna post an example.
They have no movement on the eyes and in the body parts, it's minimal.
Early artwork featured a canine dick, but now it features a humanoid dick.
And well, the dude drawing this is getting 12.5 dollars per hour (https://www.sofurry.com/view/869405), 5 dollars more than minimum wage, 10 dollars less than USA average hourly salary, so I can't complain, can I? (Minimum wage in my country is 5 dollars per day, 8 hours each one)
The early artwork images where posted ~April 10, 2015, 2 months before they started hiring an artist. The og artist left, I suppose...
Also, I liked the design of this astrophysicist sapient creature (https://yiff.party/patreon_inline/26417375/4c4e847308679b685fe8f76d25b80afbc44340f2.png) from their other game, I would probably pay for a good art piece of it, but copyright so maybe no.
Well, that's everything I had to say. :v
