As I didn't see any discussion spaces conveniently obvious, I wanted to put up a space where folks can talk about Core of Innocence.
I'll reserve my personal thoughts on the game for the time being, as I'm curious to hear what others thought or are thinking of the game. I'm about two thirds of the way through it I guess, have collected a bunch of equipment, spells, and weapons, and finished several side quests. I've visited six of the eight worlds, and beat a bunch of bosses. Working on the fire dragon and giant rock monster bosses in the Infernal world at the moment.
Who else has been playing this? What are your thoughts?

I only just started it but I love it so far. The pacing of the first half hour of the game is really great. I'm up to just after the first boss. Not far at all but I've been enjoying it so far. It's obviously been made with a lot of care.

I gave it a solid 45 minutes so far.
As far as the story goes, I like it a lot. It's far better than most presented in the genre.
Technically, it's fairly smooth and works as expected. The only glitch that I've seen so far is that when you use the back dash action, you will also activate objects which can be activated. That's pretty minor though.
The graphical style is appropriate and consistent. If I were to rate the graphics, I would give it a 7/10. I would rate the animation at an 8 though. The animations have a lot of small touches that show a huge attention to detail. I guess some people would think my ratings are harsh, but I'm not judging it based on this site's average talent. I'm comparing it to pros.
On the pervy boob scale, I have to give it a 10. The issue of boobs is an interesting one. For the record, I'm pro boob, but I wonder if the boob focus relates to the story, or if it's just eye candy?
Overall, this game represents a great amount of dedication and talent. I am impressed.
Send me feedback on my latest game, It Never Ends.

I honestly don't understand why nor do I like that this game gets so much attention. Sure, its well made. But it really, in my opinion, was a waste of artistic and programming talents. It seems to be for a lot of people, but for me, quality is not all there is to me liking a game. I would rather play a game that has an innocent storyline, lacks mature content, and is kid friendly, even if its lower quality, than one like this. The game really would have been just as good if it didn't have the mature content. Instead of having equipment categories of "panties" and "bra", you should have just had "accessory 1" and "accessory 2". And Lila, the main character, isn't really likeable at all to me, especially since she is over sexualized. There was no point in having a censory option given that even with it at the highest setting, I still couldn't enjoy the game because it shoved mature content in my face. I have even played M rated games that were more innocent than this. It's clear that this is a game aimed at typical teenagers and typical male college students, and it is nothing special to me. Might I point out that although I gave it a fair chance by downloading and trying it, I didn't get very far before I was turned off by it and decided to remove it from my computer.
Please don't bash me for my opinions. Might I point out that if the shoe was on the other foot, I would get told to respect people's opinions or that I should accept critisism.

I played the game beyond 45 minutes. It seems that the whole "mature" (super soft porn) theme is just a promotional angle. I didn't realize how porny it got. It doesn't seem to integrate with the game's story at all.
I stand by what I said before. This is a skilled effort, but the "easy" publicity via nudity isn't something that deserves respect when it comes to game design. If, somehow, the sexual imagery matched the theme of the game; if there was a point to the sexuality, I would change my mind, but I played the game for several hours and didn't find any evidence of that.
It's kind of like bringing a girl home to meet the parents. They won't be impressed with a prostitute.

if i had a kid and he brought home a prostitute. I'd be vary impressed. Think about, it would be vary hard to convince a prostitute that you loved her for her mind.

Thank you for these words, I really agree with them. As I said, the sexuality seems gratuitous and the game could have been just as good without it. Actually better in my opinion, but what I mean is leaving it out takes nothing away from the game.
