Well, in this case, only the developer can give you the answer whether it will be the personal slave route or not. I checked the comments in this thread before answered you for the first time and didn't found anything about it, so my answer was from the assumption that some people basically can't play the game if there is such a route, even if it can be avoided. Just my vague guess there will be additional route, he said that he wanted to add some sort of romantic relationship (a bit twisted, though), so wait for him to confirm or deny this.

yeah, is why I asked, since i myself couldn't find anything, I personally would be surprised if there isn't such a route, since the public stuff looks like it is a minor part of the game, and that the focus is on the master/slave relationship, So I don't see why you would force the public stuff when you can get a bigger audience by making it optional.

But hey they may want to, and it is up to them. So I will just wait for an answer, and move on if it isn't optional. the whole "No use crying over spilt milk" kinda thing, there will be games I can play, and those I can't better to focus on the ones I can then the ones I can't, and afaik this one could go either way.

That being said it isn't like this kind is my favourite, I personally like the teaching feelings type dynamic the most, the whole master/slave corruption path is more a guilty pleasure than my preffered.

This seems like a good game that is at least somewhat different compared to other trainer games. Seeing that there are body stats and even a hair style, perhaps there will be different sex scenes. Perhaps we could get a dark skin girl?

I like solo training sessions; sharing is okay if it's done with side characters but being forced to share the main female isn't my thing.
I read the dev post about this subject, but missing out on most of the content to keep her to yourself isn't good either, I'd rather have a game with good amount of content that I don't like than one that has nothing to offer. Too bad I love training games but I also hate being forced to do certain things. The trainer is supposedly the one who decides everything and if the player and the trainer don't agree on something then you're simply a voyeur and not the trainer himself.

One of a few games with decent art, but why is it received too little attention? I think 7 months old could get a better number of money earned on Patreon, any specific reasons?

The 1st demo while promising had almost no content and there were many promising games on Patreon which got abandoned or milked so people are more cautious.
Also he had a long break with no updates or even signs of life from Aguost 15 to November 7 - thats almost 3 months of complete silence.
It has nothing to do with sharing or not.

The fact that the updates aren't monthly or anything.
This usually is a big factor early on in development, as it gives more exposure to the game, and it shows that the developers are passionate.

Huge games like summertime saga, dating my daughter, treasure of Nadia, all used to have very frequent updates, when they started out, making them appear all the time on the "latest update", making people click the game and download it after seeing them a few times (exposure has a huge impact on sales of any product in general, that is why every type of company pays to have their commercials SPAMMED everywhere, to give exposure and familiarity).

I don't think it has anything to do with the kinks involved or the art, as Akabur (who made princess trainer, the original trainer) had sharing and personal sex in it, and so does the aforementioned Dating my daughter, and lots of other high earning games.

There is also a ton of games nowadays, which has saturated the "market" for porn-games, which makes constant exposure even more important.

So again, I honestly think the only reason a game like this, is not seeing more support, is just because it is slow on updates and that the creators aren't interacting enough and showing off small updates and such.

As someone who actually does tend to back some games, these are three of maybe the five/six biggest factors, and you hit them all.
The other three come down to these things imo.
1) Does it have a fetish that I like, or at least not focusing on one that turns me off?
You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.
2) What is a the price point for access to the game? (Anything over $10/month is laughable just to try a demo/alpha/beta version).
3) Is the dev engaging, netural, or hostile to communities like f95? If the latter I won't back them. Many of the games I back or have backed I found here. (I'm a big fan of Monster Girl Dreams and Threshold for this reason. Very engaged and takes in feedback from here knowing full well some of us here are patrons, and others might become one).

Imo dev is trying to do too much right away vs making his core game/plot polished and adding more fetish content onto that system. Content creep will wear you down. Pick a few fetish content and complete the main game and then add on from there. Enables you to then with the core game done run polls with prospective patrons and even inquire here if you're so inclined, which can be beneficial if you are actually genuinely wanting input.

If I was this developer, I would do the following to make everyone happy:

ROUTE A - You're dominate over her, but you NEVER share her with anyone. (Harem minded)
ROUTE B - [Currently in the game.] You share her with the whole town and are dominate over her. (Netorase)
ROUTE C - She's your wife/girlfriend/fiancé. You help train her, but you never get to fuck her. Instead, like a masochist, you have to watch the whole town fuck her, and you get cucked REALLY HARD, to feel extreme emotional pain and anguish. (Cuck/Wimp/Loser)

You'd cater to a wide audience with basically a few hours of programming work, and then you're done.

If you want to throw away the Patreon $$$ you'd get from ROUTE A & ROUTE C, in addition to ROUTE B, because you hate money, then stick with Route B only so you generate less Patreon revenue.

Making a pure Netorase game isn't profitable IMO, you have to offer the Harem & Cuckold path as well, in addition to the Netorase, then it's complete. The Harem & Cuckold path should only take a few hours to program in. It should be easy.
