Hey, Travis.. thanks for responding here. I couldn't say who did what on the project, I had to go by the credits page, so if I miss credited you, I apologize.

As for the review... I belive I kept the main review fairly unbiased by my own interpretations of anecdotal evidence.  I'd have to reread it to be certain. The name IS pureile and entirely unnecessary... thus I can only guess as to why it was used.

As for your attempts to color my character :rolleyes: I am a freaking yellow pikachu who spanks his own ass endlessly.  What do you expect? Human sexuality is a facinating subject, as are japanese school girls.

Just ask the Japanese.

I gave due props on the core of the system. There were innovative ideas and cleverly implemented mechanics.  The fact that I'd never play it has less to do with being accused with being a basement dwelling perv and more to do with the fact that it... as a concept... doesn't appeal to me as a gamer. The system is to simple and 'light'. Calling it 'forgelike' isn't necessarily a putdown, its merely a way of expressing similarities of design philosophy.    The fact that many of their games do not appeal to me is secondary. Plenty of readers on this site DO enjoy their gaming philosophy. Maybe they would, maybe they wouldn't enjoy the game.  Had I known there was a free version out there I'd have been less cagey about the relatively simple (yes...elegant) mechanics. Far be it from me to give away the store.

I'm sorry that you took offence at the tone of the comments section, but when you work on a game called "Panty Explosion" you gotta expect at least a little grief.

Well I must say that your response to my post is well noted, and that I find it much more articulate than your overall review, which seemed very scathing for unneccessary reasons, and seemed to dwell on principles (such as the name) which are rather minute in the grand scheme of things.

They went for a title that would personify the pop-culture and the anime hook which is the ever present "panty flash" in most anime featuring japanese school girls. They also probably felt that "there is not such thing a sbad press" which would get more people to at least check out the game when someone (such as yourself) gives a ravingly horrid review, people want to see for themselves as a result.

So thank you for getting back, I have a much clearer impression of your mindset and can quite agree with you on most of your points, an idea which was missing from your review itself. Thanks.

Hmm... now I simply MUST go back and re-read my review.  :confused:



EDIT::: And that is what I get for being in a hurry. Yeah. I stand by what I said, but damn I could have been clearer.
