Virtually Date Crystal

[Budokai]

i don't understand why the hell people here want things more complicated...man, as if real life wasn't complicated enough.

If you wan't challenges go and try to catch a real gf.

I think one of the most attractive things about this new game, and one of the reasons it has got so many fans in no time it's its simplicity. You play = you are happy; you win = you are so happy; you lose > you get back = you keep being happy. Damn, i agree about the insertion of more pathways or alternatives, but if Chaotic turns this game into a hell of game like Ariadne it will have even more things in common...

Spite of what they want you to belive, bigger is better. If you are told otherwise it's just to make you feel better about yourself.

To be a little serious, I do to see clear simularities between dating crystal and dating Arianne. The difference is that to me that is not a bad thing. I love the Arianne game. In fact I think that the Arianne game is to small. Yes it takes a while when you first get your hands on it to figure everything out. But when you know what to do you can get through the entire game in 15ish minutes, if not even faster.

Of course the games are simular, they are both dating games ! Who cares if he have borrowed a little bit from certain scenarios, as long as most of the game stand out on it's own. And it does. I think you are wrong when you say it's the size that have made the game popular. What have made this game popular is that the art is stunning, it got a real story, and when you play it for the first time you are not done in 3 minutes and left feeling unsatisfied. Expanding the game adding more pathways and activities and more girls not only appeal to more people because the game get more depth and punch, it make the people that played the game before keep comming back for more.

No way that Arianne would had the same survivability if it wasn't for the people working on upgrading and expanding it. People would play it for a little bit and then leave it.

Regarding the girlfriend business, well been there done that, and I need a break after the last to experiences. The first of em I turned out to be a manipulative psychotic bitch and the second one turned out to be a racist prejugding narcissistic bitch. I like wind off with high quality computer generated adult entertainment, and I would still do so even if I wasn't single as I am currently am.

When it comes to the girls in the vote... I really don't care who the lucky winner is I think they all looked great, I voted for the african woman though myself. Would be cool to see an asian woman in there, I am a sucker for them.

At the moment, neither site can be reached. The old one times out and the new one (50) goes to a blank screen when you hit begin . Am I missing something new?

[machamp623]

Sites are back up.

also any ideas how the updates are going?

The webhost seems a bit indecisive about when it works.

Small announcement : It seems however that, thanks mainly to people clicking on the site's ads, that I might be able to afford moving to a full domain name website sometime soon. This will mean an end to any issues as I will be in full control of my own site and any upgrades/advances/content. A big thanks to anyone who clicked on one of those little adverts just below the main title.

@machamp623 - Updates are going fine, but I probably won't be releasing anything until at least the end of the poll, which at the very least won't finish until after the weekend.

I actually was disappointed in this... Not because I don't like the concept (as I love ArianneB) but because of limited options. The two different missions with Crystal (to describe them as such) are not intertwined -- you COULD go to the party... But you can't leave the party?

It's stuff like that - the lack of choices - that hurt the game. Arianne is so fractal with this stuff -- you need to do A and B to get C outcome or if you try 1 and 3 before doing 2 you will fail... or get launched into an entirely different scenario.

So depth? Not length (as was an early complaint) but the depth seems shallow with the lack of options in gameplay.

Also, I don't care for the "Win game" / "Lose game" endings (but I give a calgary-puck hattip to the game creator... cuz I think that's where the fucccccccccccccccc graphic comes from).

ah. well that a bit disapointing, but good things do take time

I've played both Crystal and ArianeB quite a bit (and Shark's games too) - and miss one thing in the discussion here, maybe because I’m a woman myself:

I would like an ending where the girl gets a MMF, not only FFM-threesome... Or even a bit more mix-and-match for instance in the pool? I know that a FFM is all men’s fantasy, but another man to serve the date(s) is quite a turn on too


If the dating quiz is kept that could be an option for the girl you would be matched with/would survive you answering “porn” on what to watch...(a side note there: If the quiz is kept, do not choose girl first, but get a girl that match the answers).

Otherwise I love the game, but agree that it is start more than a final product – but that is what we like, is it not?

Well Anne I am not sure most of us guys will agree with you

However one thing I have noticed in a lot of shark's games, and
in Ariane, and now Crystal, is the lack of female orgasms.

Most ladies I have known are capable of several orgasms in a session, and certainly with Shark's encounters between two ladies there are a lack of climaxes.
I refer for example to Sensual Experiment, where only one of the girls comes.

And that is one of the reasons why we need more than one man for a full experience! I’m happy that my husband understands this and is not afraid of MMF’s

Sounds like a reasonable request Anne. I wouldn't mind having a MMF with my girlfriend.

[Erik]

I just love the game. Good work!!

[machamp623]

is there any one who was a bit surprised when you click for a larger photo, and you just get a bigger pic of there head?
i was hoping for a full body.

[Franco]

I think he didn't do the full bodies because of the amount of work it would entail when most of them wouldn't be used.
