Graphics and Performance

• Ensure Vsync is turned on by default to prevent system crashes caused by infinite frames during loading screens.
• Adjust graphics settings in the options menu for optimal performance, as some facial animations may appear off due to missing keyframes or inconsistent camera movement.
• Consider tweaking the skin smacking effect's speed and velocity for a more realistic experience.
• Disable DLSS in the settings menu to ensure ReShade depth buffer works properly.
• Adjust light sample density for doors and other dynamic objects to reduce shading issues.
• Correct the brightness of the HDRI by adjusting exposure instead of light strength.
• Ensure genital and ass areas have custom morphs for better visual quality.

Character Customization

• Explore character customization options available in the game, which offer an acceptable form of paywall without significantly impacting content availability.
• Note that while characters look good overall, they may seem similar due to limited morph sliders.
• Tweak skinning around the genital area for jeans and other clothing items to improve fit.
• Check interactions through walls with line trace checks to prevent glitches.
• Fix position previews by ensuring they are static meshes to avoid physics wobble issues.
• Explore using DAZ assets for model and clothing customization to enhance visual variety and detail.
• Share character presets with other players by exporting and importing them within the game or through community forums.

• Integrating custom models could add an entirely new layer of depth and customization, expanding gameplay possibilities.
• Implement honey select-like basic animation viewing as a gameplay feature, such as making the girl 'come' before your character does.
• Expand on reactions (visual) to thrust speed and other factors using available tools in the game.
• Leave head bobble on first-person camera behind due to direction changes and object glitches.

Gameplay Mechanics

• Consider adding options for manual control of movement with resistance settings to simulate real-life intimacy, allowing players to ease into intimate scenes gradually.
• Implement a feature where penetration resistance is adjusted based on the size of the character's anatomy, enhancing realism and player immersion.

Camera Angles and POV

• Request the addition of first-person perspective for intimate scenes from the woman's viewpoint to enhance emotional connection.
• Suggest implementing a general third-person view for the man, improving overall gameplay experience and immersion.
