*My personal thoughts on HoT
-
June 6, 2013 at 5:34 am #1929I will immediately admit that I am not at all a fan of the new game the way it is now. The reasons for this are plentiful and I shall go into it a bit more. Please do not get offended x.x
1. Too simplistic: Easy goals, not really any depth to the game and I wouldn’t be surprised if someone said they could play it blindfolded.(P.S. I do know a lot of that has been said already)
2. Style: Or therefore lack of: Compared to Common Grounds this is rather stale in productive values. I mean, the 3D sex scenes of the first game down to two still images that IMO aren’t even that hot nine times out of ten.I understand that there are quite a few characters in this so I do understand why, but it is still rather irking.
3: Personal dislike of the main thing involved here i.e. Prostitution: I’ve seen a few games similar to this one pop up over the years and couldn’t really get into them. This also kinda bums me out after Kaive saying he wouldn’t do any of the weirder kinks a while back, although I guess this could just be me that sees selling your body for money wrong.
4: My old char: Now this was something that really sealed the deal on me no longer wanting to play this game. Most characters have nice descriptions, high stats and are quick earners. Impy however seems to have been left out of this equation with his rather negative description, substandard stats and low customer satisfaction. Admittedly on it’s own this doesn’t really bother me greatly, as Impy is no longer in existence pretty much. This game is actually the last thing he’s in and in one way I’m glad that this bad char will prob not be hired much at all by anyone.
That’s enough reasons for now, but I hope you guys understand the points I put across…
June 6, 2013 at 7:23 am #1931The game is still under construction in a way.
And Kaive was honest with me about what the game was about.
I was told it was a brothel type game from the very start.
And it interested me as I am quite the opposite kind of person then in the game.
I am a one person kind of guy in real life.
And I am not one to sell my body for money as well but don’t mind it in the game.And it is just that a game that I enjoy playing and being in Kaive’s game is an honor to me. 🙂
And it also reminds me of the brothel in The Game of Thrones. 😉
June 6, 2013 at 11:25 am #1932I liked Impy and bought him right away! I even set him up doing some leadering stuff =3
June 6, 2013 at 12:11 pm #1934Well agreed with Veerano about CG and HoT passage to 3D to 2D thinking on this game be really awesome to have 3D models for all characters and sex scenes as CG, but be really a lot or job to do.. :/
About Impy well haven’t used him at all as have my own tastes of course on furry species :3
About brothel-kind game find it kinky and funny as idea, maybe on future put inside more “interactions”, such like the owner of the house flirts with others characters, or a customer who’s get a infatuation for es: Skunky (I found him adorable :3).
Or make your custom character based on a furry species and attitude, like mine as chubby skunk with role as leader as maybe he’s can’t get too much interest for customers, but have attitude to leader, as manage the house, hire the staff etc.
Sorry as I keep up with suggestions, but this game surely can raise my kinky fantasy ^^ and anyways I just tell my opinions.

June 6, 2013 at 2:56 pm #1936I don’t think the prostitution aspect is currently represented as a kink. It could be one, certainly, as anything can be used as a kink. Getting rough during sex is presented as more of a kink in this game.
Also, since when is prostitution a weird kink? It’s a classic vocation.I use your character, Impy/Veerano. It may not be a great character in the current game, but I’d rather utilize the character of someone who’s indirectly provided me with amusement than some of the other characters that I will not describe.
Isn’t your dislike of prostitution reflected in the low obedience stat anyway? You turn away most customers. The ones you accept may not be amazed by the performance, but they still pay for the service and even come back for more.June 7, 2013 at 8:27 am #1944@GronV2 I was aware of the game type from the beginning also, however despite my dislike of the genre I decided to give it a chance being as it was made by fupoco. As I have said before I was a big fan of CG and was wondering what would be dished out next.
@LenGrey Well I’m glad somebody liked him I guess lol.
@Kimba I agree that there needs to be more involved and it is good that they will be updating this for a while until it’s more interestiing.
@evilmathmagician See, I’m not a fan of ‘getting rough during sex’ as you put it either. Hell Kaive may not have put it nicely but he got it bang on when he said I have an extensive list of pet peeves.
Also, how did I provide you with amusement owo? And that was something else that annoyed me slightly that you just brought up, yes obedience would be low but impy is a demon so his preformance with those that did find him interesting would be higher than most maybe. I dunno lol, game mechanics and me go together about as well as gravy and chocolate.@All Thanks for the replies guys, I wasn’t expecting to come back to these haha. As Kimba noted on his I shall on mine too, these are just my opinions on the game and I’d like to remind everyone that no harm is meant by them :3

Many thanks for the feedback, not offended at all ^^I understand where you’re coming from, and will try to clarify. . .
1. Expectations seem to play a huge role in gaming criticism, so we might need to do a better job at explaining this. It’s like a pre-order sale, where you actually get to play it as we go instead of having to wait forever and have little say once production’s finished.
2. Working on style ^^;
3. It’s a fantasy. Kind of like banging human animal characters. We intend to put some kind of disclaimer on the game’s site, as real prostitution isn’t something we want to promote. At all. The story should provide context to help smooth things over.
A reason why these kind of games come about, I think, is a desire to play something else besides the standard dating sim where characters will only have sex with you, only on your terms, and you’re the only one allowed to be promiscuous. Even then, a lot of details in HoT are left purposefully vague, as it’s meant to be simple entertainment. (Any help here would be most appreciated~)
4. If you add up the stats, most characters were made from a pool of like, want to say 260 points total. While the current versions don’t show it, the design requires there to be characters more useful at different stages or providing different challenges for the player. Skills will play a big factor.
I had a little fun with Impy’s description (and ideas for story inclusion) based on you giving me full control of him, but even then I am very grateful and don’t want to offend you, and am open to any changes you’d like to see. Personally, he’ll be one of the fun ones as the idea of an imp servant who talks up this idea of being a demon should be incredibly charming.
