NTR always works for me, provided it's well written. I've long since grown tired of vanilla stuff, which always follows the same pattern. And NTR, cheating, and sharing, is simply fresh material that offers a lot of options and excels where vanilla soon reachs his limit. And I not only love the good, varied stories behind them, I also like seeing different things. It simply bores me to always see the same guy getting everything. In some games he is also an unattractive rice pudding boy, ugly or simply an idiot,where it's just no fun to play him and I wonder what hords of attractive women find in him. I love variety and believe that women also have their demands. Of course you have to be wired for it
If you enjoy these scenes yourself, feel free to write more than a few. First and foremost, you have to like it yourself. Stories you don't like yourself usually won't be good to write. Also we shouldn't forget that we have a male MC in this game. And it would be a bit of a shame if he mostly just ran around while everyone else was having sex or being fucked, but not himself.
However, if the focus is truly on futa to female, it wouldn't be a bad idea to make the game multi-MC, meaning we could slip into the role of the girlfriend more often and make some decisions specifically for her. This gives you significantly more options and perspectives for writing these stories than constantly having to consider how they will develop from the man's perspective. There are already a lot of dialogues taking place between the girlfriend and the futas where he's not even present. And if we take the girlfriends role in them, we're actively involved in what's happening and don't just have to wait for these scenes to unfold as random cutscenes. There are different types of NTR, not just cuckold. And some work best when the people affected are the ones who decide who they let seduce them, who they fall for, and who they don't. Some NTR options are simply difficult to write to be controlled by a "cuckolded man".
It is a very good point. I was struggling to write it in a way that every decision made from the point of the boyfriend and eventually, I already wrote scenes in the next patch where the player decides the GF's action, because it was simply not possible to write it any other way. I never thought it from the perspective you wrote however and I can say it only makes sense, so I think I'll be a little more adventorous with this, allowing GF's actions to be altered more, in the future. It creates a better player experience and honestly, makes it easier for me to write certain scenarios. I'm tempted to share an excel file I'm keeping up to date with all my ideas. When I started to do V0.3 it had 3 new things in it for ideas, now it has 32 as I keep listening to feedback and my own view on the game expand as well. Of course, this slow things down, but I'm also very excited where it will take me (and the game) and what will be the feedback on it.
Just to mention a few things that are already done and implemented:
- Minigames, I created a few QTE and simple minigames that are done in a few clicks. Of course these develop a scene depending on how the player performs in them. These can lead to lewd scenes and could earn the player money.
- Better audio effects
- Updated UI overall in the game. Notifications, the laptop at home, etc.
- A new character Maya Dane (Female) and her introduction, whether I develop her further or not will depend on feedback
- I simplified bad endings. I realized I overcomplicated them, both from the perspective of the player and coding wise as well. Now they will be easily unlockable with in game hints and help and the required scenes will happen automatically (No RNG at all) when the player gets on the island
- Monthly tax is implemented with a loan option, obviously leading to bad ends or other scenarios if not paid continously
- I created a social media in game, called "Livstagram", the NPC-s upload pictures there. eg: there is a scene where a Futa fucks someone, later on, they upload a picture on Livstagram from their POV in that situation, as if they took a picture in that moment. Whether I update Livstagram further or not will depend on feedback.
- Affinity system is overhauled completely.
- Older scenes had been overhauled
- All of the sprites are updated
- QOL changes
And there is plenty more that aren't finished yet. Honestly, I feel good about it, but as always, players will be the judge of that, but as you can see, your feedback could still provide me a perspective I didn't think about, that's why I always love to read what people have to share. Thank you.
