Пожалуй, лучший способ познакомить с программированием на питоне тех, кто всё ещё не решается погрузиться в это дело самостоятельно.

Games built ENTIRELY around paywalls and forming addiction are NOT ok. No matter how nice they look at a first glance.

You want money for your game? It's totally fine. Release the game as a single-purchase one.
You want to extend it's life, bring more content and still be profitable? Fine again. Release payed extension packs with new characters.

But turning your project into black hole which would suck as much money from a user as they have - it's just disgusting. Even if (or, better say, ESPECIALLY if) you hide behind cute, friendly and harmless facade, while at the same time designing your game to be as abusive and fatigue-inflicting as possible, literally exploiting weaknesses of human psychology, ruthlessly and cynically. It's YOU who decided to go a predatory f2p route with all the well-known nasty dark patterns (like, "bait and switch", where the game SEEMS easy at the beginning, but as soon as a player gets hooked, it quickly becomes IMPOSSIBLE to beat without donations, with increaseing amount every time) - so you're not welcome here and you're the only one to blame. Go back to dark dirty hole like nutaku where you've crawled from, leeches!

TL;DR:
This game is a pure embodiment of abusive gamedesign centered around forming an addiction, and our descendants will be shocked to know this kind of games was even legal, while they always should've been treated the same way as highly addictive drugs.

Dear fellow players, please don't support such dishonest practices, don't ever give them a chance to get you on the hook: don't install them out of principle and ratio them down into abyss. If we want a better future for gay adult games, we need to resist a temptation to give them a slack for "at least, being gay-oriented". Otherwise we'll get a world where TERRIBLE gay-oriented games would be our only option.

The whole game has basically zero plot and very little content: just a single extremely generic scifi asset pack.
There's no story, no dialogues. You just run through the same corridors and shoot women.
There are only 3 levels in the whole game and it's possible to complete it in half an hour if you choose an assault rifle.
What there is is a bunch of poorly animated and rendered static pictures and a few videos. All are in the same environment. All have zero activity. And the "videos" are basically a 10-30 second loops.
Overall, the entire game looks like a minimal-effort asset flip.

BUT, with that said, it's worth mentioning that this is a gay porn game which at least ATTEMPTS something new, other than being another visual novel. And it costs basically nothing (I purchased it for less than $1). So, even though it is a project of such low quality, but considering a) the price and b) the fact that the baseline in gay sex games is so low that even this might be seen as a progress - good job, I guess?
Hope the next time you give a litlle more effort. But for a first practice - not bad.

A gay game actually targeting gay men. A breath of fresh air in a market rediculosly overstaurated with products claiming to be LGBT-inclined but actually fanservicing exclusively straight women and their dreams.

A guide "DLC" lacks explanaion on how to get a specific achievement, though. I've got 53 of 54, and even googling the achievement I'm missing doesn't help due to how niche this game is.

1. All the NSFW artworks are censorted, and I couldn't find any un-censoring DLC / content-pack on the internet. Maybe, it's out there, on some japanese website... but come on!
   
2. The english version of the game is basically a joke. I'm not a native english speaker myself, but even I can tell the quality of translation is the worst possible. It's effectively translated from japanese with google, adding a ton of spelling and grammatical errors on top of it. To such an extent, that sometimes it's actually hard to understand what the text means.
   
3. There's no gameplay, at all. Even by visual novel standards. The "game" is just an interactive slideshow. Literally. Zero choices.
   
4. UI/UX issue: no clear list of controls/hotkeys anywhere in the menu.
   
5. The story is generic at best, and non-existent at worst. While also being...
   
6. ... full of fillers. Text to art ratio is just rediculous. And considering there were literally ZERO choices in the first hour of the "game" AND english text makes little to no sense half the time, playing this is actually hard. It's a challenge. In a bad way.
   
7. Lack of variance in characters portrayed. You just have the two shown on the screenshots. Only two. That's it.
   
8. Needless to say, with just two men there's also lack of inventive positions or literally anything to catch your attention.
   
9. And, with all the above, the "game" costs as much as an actual AAA title released a few years ago. Any game in Mass Effect franchise? Dragon Age Inquisition? Witcher 3? Even controvertial, but still incredible CYBERPUNK??? This "game" is more expensive then either of those (at least, in local prices). I can't wrap my head around this. With such pricing, I expected it to be some kind of revolution in the genre... And I got THIS.

Overall, this "game" doesn't worth the money or, more importantly, your time spent to it.
You better off buying any of these:

1. Coming Out on Top
   
2. Alpha Hole Prison
   
3. Mister Versatile
   
4. To Trust an Incubus

They portray muscular hunks, too. Not as bara-super-buff, as here, but still.
And yes, these games are in a less realistic / more toon-like style, and most of them are made by a single studio. But at least, they worth your time.
Feel free to suggest other better alternatives in the replies.

Nod bad, not great.
But we need more of gay-nsfw games. Even if they're just 2D-visual novels and nowhere near the level of complexity of straight NSFW games.

The first gay game in my experience that can indeed be called a gay game, not just a gay ♥♥♥♥♥♥-something.
Although it is obviously gayly gayish gay to it's core, it's actually very fun to play (if you like dudes, of course). And not just for it's sex scenes.
It's really well rendered from art/design point. Surprisingly well, compared to any other gay game i know. It has really complex and engaging dialogues. And, for the god's sake, it's finally the gayme that doesn't try to make fun of gays portraying them as the most stereotypical caricature you can imagine. Gay charecters and events here are much closer to real life than anywhere else in the industry, including huge AAA blockbusters.
Of course, it still looks cheap compared to them due to it's small target audience and therefore much smaller budgets. So it can only be evaluated as indie.
But still, it's a true milestone in gayming. Big thanks to the creators!

Самая лучшая на моей памяти реализация концепции "игра в игре".

Я - из тех, кто играет в игры только из-за сюжета. Но при этом серия DMC - вообще единственная, в которой меня привлекает геймплей. А конкретно DmC: Devil May Cry - это просто божественный перезапуск. Великолепная история, первоклассная (с учётом старых консолей) графика, шикарная анимация, музыка, левел-дизайн, персонажи...
Короче, просто шикарная игра. Сугубо имхо - вообще лучшая из всех игр, вышедших в эпоху PS3/xbox360 (если не считать концовки).

This game has the best soundtrack I've ever heard. You should definitely give it a try!
