You gain points in certain traits as you play, and if you get enough points, the game can continue. I&#8217;m curious to know if everyone feels the need to have this though.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A lot of adult games these days just have you clicking onto the next image, maybe with the <em>occasionally <\/em>choice appearing and affecting the outcome of the game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I can see the advantage. Without having to worry about dialog options, games can be made quicker. If I don&#8217;t need space for point at the bottom of the screen, I can also have higher resolution images.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Do my players like this, or do you all really feel like there needs to be a fuller gaming element to what I make?
