I think Slappy/Demetrius will be exploring that angle as well for many of the paths. I believe Saruh was also hoping to show part of that such as the consequences and what happens to the various people involved in these kinds of relationships and how it's not the way it's typically portrayed in porn/the media. It isn't always BBC bull steals slut wife from emasculated husband and they live happily ever after the way the story has mostly gone so far with clearcut winners and loser. The way things have been depicted thus far is more playing into those tropes when in reality things would be quite messy for most of the people involved. I think one of the main things is Demetrius exploring the various ways things can crash and burn since a large part of the relationships in the game are based on spite, hatred, malice, jealousy etc. Negative emotions/feelings/motives are what drives the various relationships and that is a recipe for disaster and will have major consequences in the future.
Nailed it. That's pretty much what the direction will be for many of the paths. I mean yeah, I'll include some routes where it's the typical NTR, bully bull wins & poor cuck loses for the fans where that's what they want, even though, to me, even if that was your kink, it's been so overdone & is so cartoonish that frankly, I don't see the appeal. Like I've said on many other threads here, NTR can be a good plot device if used right, much like seasoning a steak with salt. But the way NTR is typically done, & the way a lot of the fans want it, i.e. Mark wins, Angelica becomes a wanton BBC slut, Henry loses, to me is like saying "Nah, fuck the steak, yeah... Just give me a big ol plate of salt" Yawn, snore, boring. So personally, I'm not a fan, but I know a lot of the fans are thirsty for it, so it will still be in there. Your welcome ya degenerates. XD.
But yeah, the other paths will be exactly as you stated. It's less like an overdone fantasy & more like the euphoria of a budding Heroin addiction as it sinks it's claws in before it drags the user into a living hell.
So in short, on the paths where things go bad for Henry & good for Mark, Those paths will split again to ones where things may or may not get better for Henry, but definitely will go bad for Mark. VERY bad. I wont spoil much, but I will say this. For any fans of Melinda, don't get too attached. Likewise for any fans of Henry's dad. For those I've already shared spoilers with, if you know, then you know. On some routes, this ride is going to get fucking DARK. Some of it stuff that even Saruh was like "Man, that's fucking twisted". Though, I've also balanced it out with a good amount of routes where the various cast can find redemption & even a happy ending of sorts too.
Demitrius p: Don't stress too much about timelines or delays or whatnot. At the end of the day the fact it isn't abandoned should be enough to satisfy people imo.
Also sorry if this has been answered already but will the updates follow Saruh's method of updating one path at a time or will it be multiple paths/one path taken to it's end?
Can't wait to see what you have in store for the second half of the game and the various paths.
Hoping for some satisfying conclusions and people getting what they deserve to wrap things up
I appreciate that. Thanks man. To answer your question, I'm planning to wrap up one to 2 paths per update. On this one I'm working on now, I'm wrapping up the cuckqueen path, I'll likely do the lesbian paths all in one update, same for the Mark love & the Harem routes, so it will either be 1 or 2 paths wrapping up per update, then I'll release some extra content at the end, like a DLC of sorts. The reason being is I made a bunch of new characters to help kinda work through the DAZ learning curves, but for at least half of them, I don't really have any natural or reasonable way to work them into the story. Openings might pop up & if they do, I'll toss them in, but they are mainly Stumpy's circle of people. So I might just do an add on at the end with a week or 2 in the life of Stumpy & use that as a vehicle to write a small story there & use that to cram in a bunch of sex scenes with him & the people in his life, (which might include a few characters from Angelica's circle too, again though, spoilers).
Though I'm not sure whether that add on will be allowed here or not. Not only will it include some incest content, but also some potentially borderline rule 7 content. See, between 2 of his partners, Stumpy has a lot of kids. Most of the characters are over 18, including over half of his kids, but he has 3 other daughters & a son that are 17, 16, 14 & the son is 15 respectively. Now to be clear, just so people don't get the wrong idea, For me, I personally think the age of adulthood should be at least 22, because that's closer to when the prefrontal cortex finishes developing & the cognitive gap between 18 to 25 is MASSIVELY larger than the cognitive gap between 14 to 18, which is almost non existent by comparison. However, here in the US, 18 is considered the age of adulthood, Even though they are hardly closer to mentally being adults at 18 than they are at say 15. In other countries, I know it's even younger. So, I figure, since that's the baseline we're going with, it hardly seems to matter anyway, so fuck it. I'll go ahead & make scenes with the 16 & 17 year olds too, especially since inevitably there will be fans that want to see content with them. Though I'm still on the fence about the younger 2. I mean, I get that it's all fantasy & none of it really matters anyway, but keep in mind, I don't date any younger than 22, usually I try to keep it above 25. So going as young as 16 is a huge stretch for me as it is. I suppose I'll wait & see if there's fans that want to see content with the younger 2 & go from there. Either way, it might be one of those that will have to be on Discord or another site for the add on at the end.
