Bugs/Glitches: Minus a few weird bugs, (like how Jenna disappears if you try to go into the bathroom with her in Fast Sex), I haven't noticed any mentionable bugs (I mean, sometimes clothing and phalluses clip through the girl, but all games tend to have clipping issues, and as such it's nothing that I expect will ever be %100 fixed).

Collision: One of the major problems that I have noticed in many H-games (most notably Sexy Beach 3) is that either (A) the boy and the girl have no collision, as the penis just goes through the girl or (B) the penis just grinds against the vagina without actually penetrating it (seriously Illusion, don't release an H-game if my dick just keeps grinding against her pussy).

On the contrary, XStoryPlayer handles collision very well. I can perfectly tolerate the minor clipping issues, as I mentioned earlier, this is something that all games have to cope with. Combined with the fact that your game, which has elastic cloth physics on top of ragdoll physics, handles collision as well as it does is extremely impressive to say the least.

Physics: I don't even know where to start other than to say that more adult games need physics. Adult games are designed to mimic sex, and sex is just a lot of physics, but very few developers seem to want to actually follow this route, which shouldn't be the case if you ask me.

I suppose a funny thing to note here, is that when I was first told about this game (I asked about any first person H-games on Hongfire, and someone mentioned this game) the user that told me about it mentioned that XStoryPlayer had "wonky dick physics". To be honest, while it should be a bit more sturdy along the shaft when fully erect, the fact that it bends so much around the base is pretty accurate, at least from my first-person experience (I'm a guy).

Graphics: No matter how good your physics are, games like these need good graphics to really allow you to be immersed, and the hi-res textures and high polygon count really do that.

Sound: This is abut the only thing that I am not all that super happy with. Mainly two things of concern here.

The first is that the voices are limited to sexual moaning and gagging. There isn't any audible chat, which would really help with the immersion (I'd like to make eye contact with the girl instead of staring at the chat box). I'm not saying you should get rid of the chatbox (accents can get confusing, so making objectives as clear as possible is important), but having no sound until you're inside them is just silly. Even when they talk dirty to you when you are doing them, they don't actually SAY anything... but they will audibly moan forever.

The second point is regarding the only sound that the girls can make. It's pretty obvious (or at least it sure as hell sounds like it) that you guys just went on to PornHub, snipped out a few dozen moans from various videos and put them in the game. I can tell, because there are quite noticeable differences in pitch and quality throughout the various moaning clips. It does a good bit to hurt the immersion of the game.

Gameplay: I like how you guys are (seemingly) trying to get at least one story per fetish in the game. This is a great way to attract tons of players and provide tons of options. That being said, the game needs to be more 'free' or 'sandbox-y'. By that I mean for example the fact that after I win over a girl, I can't take her anywhere else. If my player has a car, and I win over a girl, I want to take her to my place and lay her on the bed for some hot sex.

Going off of that, there are very few commands in the game (although as I understand it, this is one of the more heavily in-dev things). It would seem much better (both for immersion and general gameplay) to allow the player to say "<action> on <object>" and have the game figure out what to do. For example, I would really like to go to Samantha and tell her to laydown on the bed, or tell Latisha to bend over on the couch.

Unintentionally Awesome Thing: I must say, I do have quite the interest in Samantha, as her face happens to look a lot like my ex's.

So yeah... now I can pretend that I'm banging her. Now all I need is for Samantha to respond by my ex's name, and for Samantha to refer to me as my real name, and it will be perfect!

Conclusion: While sound is something that could use a lot of work with respect to the girls voices, the game is very well done all around, and I look forward to the new storylines and additions to the physics/clothing/what have you.

I'm going to go ahead and ask that you take down that photo.
There are problems that could arise if you leave that up.

Probably shouldn't have a picture of a person you're claiming is your ex.

The review was nice and fair. Putting up a picture of a human being in this context is neither. Please do her and everyone else here the courtesy of taking that down before bad things happen.

I have removed the photo (for obvious reasons). Was away several days so I did not have time to do this earlier.

It's not obvious to me, sorry. I didn't think anything was wrong if there was no ill-intent or nudity involved along with the fact that I credited the source.

What about it was so bad?

I understand you did not have bad intentions.

But images of actual people in relation to an erotic game could be offending to the party involved.

So I removed the photo to protect the privacy.

Ah, fair enough.
