Pandora part I

[Stormy]

I have a small request. can you make it possible to date Rita, and also make the game more romantic.

[Dasati]

I may be wrong but I think Rita will be an option in future.

[Stormy]

I may be wrong but I think Rita will be an option in future.

good to hear then. I think it would be also cool, if one of guys in the ship starts dating that pilot girl. perhaps the captain since he looks like have no wife.
both look tough looking.

[Michuncik]

I'm also excited it's alive!

I created an unofficial survey about the game, so I could compare my own opinions to other players'. And it may be useful for Mortze as well (and hopefully for other AIF game authors too)

Please take part!

I'm humbled by your initiative. That's really cool to take interest and somewhat participate in the game. I like that.

But for me to take any imput from that survey it should be nice to see the answers given by the participants.

Also:

1 - For the first question there should be an option for "None of the above".
2 - Could be interesting to see people's opinions on other matters like the story development. Would you like for the Pandora expedition to find something? What would you like them to find? What consequences their findings might have on them and on the world? Would you like to know more about the Pandora and Atlantean miths?
Altough I do apreciate these kind of efforts, it humbles me like I said, a survey about sex isn't going to help much in the evolution of the story and I try to make games where the sex is secondary, or even complementary, to the story, not otherwise.

And that's why I loved Pandora... And in general games like this, where some aspects are just consequences of your behaviour, not the opposite.
It just makes the difference between a simple game and a good game, in general, not only about sexy ones.

I don't remember if I told you I appreciated the game when you released it, I do it now, in worst case it's just a repetition
Thanks again

I will PM you with the login and pass so you will have full access to the survey results. (I expected it would display the results after people answered the survey)

1 - For the first question there should be an option for "None of the above".
It had to be a choice between those two options because one has already happened in the game with the 'shy' guy, the other wasn't supposed to happen because he was 'shy'. I think you should be less shy to do the 2nd option than to do the 1st option. But it is only my opinion, I wanted to see many people answering it. (by the way I didn't answer the survey)

The first 2 questions were specific about Pandora game. The others were intended for general AIF games.

I just realized that the hot tub sex scene is slightly out of character -- for Maggie. She was against you watching Nikki in the tub earlier, and she is aware of what you did with Roos. Going by the same standards, she would have left before you had a chance to really get up to anything. Or at least she probably shouldn't have taken so much offense at you peeking. Either these are double standards or she has gone all pervy in a day

Oh, and also one more thing I just realized: the laptop is somewhat inconsistent and incorrect in several moments... Spoiler alert because I don't want to bore anyone

1. It's showing the default blue Windows XP (Luna) theme in the sub when checking systems (subday series).
2. It's showing Windows Classic theme and has four focused windows in the beginning (heli series).
3. It's showing an unofficial theme (similar to Luna, but with gray unfocused windows) and the window in focus is in the background -- possible if unfocused windows were "always on top", but Windows compositing in XP doesn't allow this for one instance of an application (lesson series, when Kean is about to peek on girls).
Number 3 also has one annoying thing, where the laptop screen looks like a sheet of paper and only reflects light (cables cast shadows on a white screen). As an aside, since they're on a ship and unable to resupply, Kean would have probably had at least two, if not three, laptops with him (or more likely a ruggedised workstation laptop).

Survey:

I don't get a couple of things in that survey.
1. Kinky stuff in one on one sex scenes. 69 -- it's only hot in porn. Sure, it's fun, but ultimately, it's always one person giving and the other receiving. Next, most girls I know never heard of footjobs and even when explained, they treat it as a weird fetish. And they're right. You don't have nearly as much control over your feet as over your hands and no real ability to give any pleasure with your feet. Same goes for ass play. Most people are grossed out by ass licking, and spanking and anal sex are nowhere near as popular as in porn.
2. "In an erotic game where you can romance more than one character would you like?"
- Assuming you're not racist, you're not going to care about ethnic diversity. Staying on topic, having a white Maggie and a black Maggie wouldn't add to the game in any way. Maybe this type of customization works as a novelty in porn "games" (like some Meet'n'Fuck "games"), but for a game like Pandora, you're wasting a lot of effort if making two characters differing only in skin color.
- Foreplay before sex scenes -- that looks like a non sequitur. How is it relevant to romancing more than one character? I'd prefer there is foreplay before sex in any sexy/erotic/porn game regardless of whether there are just two characters or two hundred. If you're asking if we'd rather have twice as many romanceable characters with sex than sex+foreplay and half as many characters, ask this explicitly, for instance: "Would you rather have more romanceable characters or longer sex scenes with more pictures?"
- Threesomes -- putting a threesome into a romance story is tenuous at best, and is typically heavy handed fan service. In Pandora? I could imagine a threesome between Roos, Timea, maybe Dr. Laura, and two male crew members. Consider if a guy like Kean would even want to join into a threesome like that.
- Personality diversity -- duh. In fact, it's a good way to determine if you're playing an erotic or porn. The latter will only pay some lip service to diverse personalities, like saying one girl collects dolls, another collects teddy bears, but other than it coming up once in a conversation, it never affects the game in any way, since you won't even go in their room to see the collection.
- 'Best body feature' -- I'd love just one game where girls would be totally ugly (going by the classic beauty canon), except for exactly one feature. One could have a stunning face, another tits, then ass, and finally legs. I wouldn't enjoy it, but I'd love to see the comments. And for the record, I realize that leonizer's games feature outlandishly beautiful women with outstanding bodies. I absolutely hate it.
3. "During the sex scenes climax, the option to cum inside/outside is:"
Add a third option: "An unnecessary carryover from porn which has absolutely no bearing on real life." Research conclusively proved that it is not an effective contraceptive method and totally ineffective in preventing STDs. Putting it into games only encourages a belief that it is an effective birth control method. Sure, some 50% of adults report having used withdrawal as a birth control method, but just 2.5% uses it with any regularity.

That's understandable. My purpose was to give that ambiguity to Maggie. There is a little short storie that I did where Maggie does indeed peek on someone. My understanding is that she couldn't do it when they saw Nikki in the bathtub because Nikki was very kind to Maggie moments before. Maggie wouldn't be able to disconnect from the bounding she made with Nikki earlier and it would be rather strange for her to stay and peek on Nikki. Now, Roos and Kean are a totally diferent matter.

As an aside, since they're on a ship and unable to resupply, Kean would have probably had at least two, if not three, laptops with him (or more likely a ruggedised workstation laptop).

You may be right. I can't say. The most important thing for me was to find the actual content on each window. Graphs, software, etc. I couldn't afford to get them all with the same operative system because there are finite pics to search from. Besides, Kean is smart, a nerd even.
But you're wrong in one point. Kean has at least 2 laptops with him. A grey one on his workstation, that he brought to the sub, and a black one where he put the movie to watch with Maggie. I can tell you already that there is at least a third one, that Rita brings with her when she goes diving with the sub. And Rita also has a personal one. Total, the diving team has 4 laptops. Upstairs, in the mess room, there are at least 3 more.

Threesomes -- putting a threesome into a romance story is tenuous at best, and is typically heavy handed fan service. In Pandora? I could imagine a threesome between Roos, Timea, maybe Dr. Laura, and two male crew members. Consider if a guy like Kean would even want to join into a threesome like that.

Timea?

I don't think Maggie is behaving out of character in the scene you mentioned. She's young, then she probably thinks she should behave in an acceptable way like scolding someone for spying on someone else. But deep inside she is as curious as anybody else, so if she believes no one is seeing her she would peek at a couple having fun all alone in a hot tub. Just like everybody.

About the survey, well it is a survey!
1- I, personally, don't think 'footjob' is even erotic! But I have seen scenes like that in somewhat recent Japanese hentai games. So I thought it would be interesting to know how many people find this kind of 'erotic scene' attractive compared to other erotic scenes. The same applies to other options like 'ass licking', and 'spanking'. Some may be disgusted by them others may feel aroused. So let's take a look at the results and see how appealing these options are for AIF game players as a whole and not only assume our personal opinion as representative for the general AIF games public.

2- As I said to Mortze only the two first questions were related only to Pandora game. All the other questions were intended to show people's opinion for AIF games any AIF games. So 'ethnic diversity' doesn't mean one black 'Maggie' and one white 'Maggie'. It would be Maggie is white, Kaori is Oriental, Stephanie is black. Supposing the PC could romance all three in the game. Would it make the game more appealing for you? or all three white, Oriental, or black would make no difference in how the game would appeal to you?
(By the way, I love all races and I like the mixed results as well! )

'Foreplay before sex scenes': It intends to display how many people enjoy the step by step approach to sex scenes in opposition to those who want to get straight to the hardcore scenes.

'Threesomes': It is a common players' request. But how many really enjoy this kind of scene? Are they really a big number of AIF game players or just a loud small group?

'Personality diversity' together with ''Best body feature' diversity' can give us an indication of how important it is for the players a more complex psychological frame for a character in opposition to just the way a character looks.

3- I believe we are talking about erotic games.... for adults.... who I believe should already be educated about sex. These are not supposed to be educational games about sex.
The question about the option to climax inside or outside should be viewed as a question to evaluate how many AIF game players believe it is beneficial for a game to have this option. If it adds to the game enjoyment. (For some people creampies are highly erotic. But what percentage feels that way?)
