Hey I know the conversation has moved on, so I won't belabor this, but I did want to point out that my last post received 1 facepalm & 5 thumbs up, plus a comment from someone else echoing the same sentiments I made. So that's 6 out of 7 responses that agree with my sentiments & only 1 that disagrees. I think the ratios that we can all clearly see from this speak for themselves. Only 1 person said, (in a manner of speaking), "I want to keep the same old routine of happy hot wife & microdick loser husband in love, then bad guy tricks her into sex, then she enjoys it, get's addicted & becomes mindless whore because dat dik too gud, de end" routine, & 6 said "We're tired of that shit. We want to see something new. We want to see the protag come back & overcome, or things go bad for the wife & her new antag lover, or SOMETHING new & creative." Now I'm told that
HangoverCat Is going to be making this game more like that than on edge of was, (because let's face it, on edge was pretty much standard paint by numbers ntr shovelware), But I just wanted to highlight this point. In my long ramble post from before, my views could be written off as conjecture or speculation, or just my opinion, but the fact that 6 of the 7 reactions to it were in agreement, That's observable, tangible metrics proving the sentiments of my post to be true & that they resonate with the majority of the NTR fanbase, (I know, A bit of a jump, based on a few reactions, but also keep in mind I provided additional evidence in the first post, plus We can only operate from the responses we get, which have all heavily sided with my argumentation).
So
HangoverCat & To all NTR game creators, I think we should see this as a sign of the times. We should pause & take note. Maybe it's time we stopped using NTR as a fatalistic & pre-determined means to a single end & started using it as a plot element for a more varied story with more diversity in outcomes. It's time for us to expand our scope & realize that the wife being stolen away shouldn't be the story, but rather the wife COULD be stolen as PART of a much BIGGER story that includes a variety of outcomes as a result. THIS is what the NTR fans WANT. We need to start giving it to them. This is how we can make this genre exponentially better.
HangoverCat I'm told you're already adding some of this into your game. I would encourage you to double down on it. Now knowing that this is what the fans really want, go the extra mile with it please. I think you'll find the results are in line with the thesis that I've already demonstrated.
You know, I remember a while back seeing an NTR story, where it was the typical kid protag had his mother stolen away from him by big dick bully. But that was only the first half of the story. After the protag's mother abandoned him, time skipped ahead & in that time, the bully became the head of a local gang & still kept the protag's mom. In that time, the protag used the hate && wrath borne in him to turn himself into a killing machine. He then returned, killed his way through the gang members until he reached the bully, then fought & killed him. Now objectively, it was a rather cheesy story, but it was so good in contrast because it was FINALLY something DIFFERENT. Something UNIQUE. & it was pretty well received. & I remember finding myself wondering if other fans of the genre were craving for something like that, only to be let down when the game ends with "Hubby loses wife and is sad, de end" again & again & again. Now we know.
