I've been follow the thread for some time. I have a question about the new version and sorry for ask this, i read the lasts pages and i know that the routes and avoidable NTR was already discussed a lot, but my doubts still remain (non-native english problems).
Even if I don't turn ntr off, can it still be avoided based on my choices? Personally, I don't like NTR at all and I just want to play the romance route, but I like it when ntr is in the story as a threat or a challenge, something that can happen if I don't make the right choices. Thanks in advance and sorry for asking this if it's already been answered
Hi, I appreciate the kind comment, and this is a very reasonable question that requires a lot of thought before answering. While I have created a lot more time for myself to dedicate to the game, It's difficult to really put into perspective how large it can get, you have to begin to wonder if their is a point to adding SO much content if very few will enjoy one tiny scene that may take me a lot longer to create, only for hardly anyone to see it. However, I do find it very interesting that you bring up such a point. I have always thought that it is important that when you "enable" NTR or sharing and such, that it means just that, enabled, or "Possible now" But doesn't mean "Unavoidable". My goal with this game, besides an overall compelling story hopefully and characters people will love, and sometimes, hate (Not always a bad thing, when done intentionally), is to allow the user to have choice, and truly feel like their actions as a player matter. So, yes, while you can "Enable" NTR, you can also avoid it still. And, as you said, it can be a challenge, and a deeper problem characters can face in certain situations. For example, falling out of love for the wrong reasons, maybe because you are making irrational decisions in the moment as many can and do in real life, can lead you down a path where you feel you don't belong with the main girl. And, maybe at some point she also feels the same way for whatever reason, and she is about to make a decision that will alter the path of your relationship permanently. You, as the player, can choose to prevent this from going too far, and avoid what many would consider to be ntr (Even though technically ntr has a very specific definition that has many meanings to a much broader audience)
You also don't have to commit to sharing and such if you don't want to, but can enjoy the scenes leading up to that "Woah, we almost actually did it" moment. Build up is all part of the fun in my opinion. And so I hope I didn't ramble on too much and answered your question.
TL,DR
Yes, you can enable ntr, and still avoid it. same with sharing. But your overall story will change compared to the ntr off route, as that is the route will I will go all in on trying to create a compelling story of love, friendships, inner conflicts, and character sub-plots. I will be doing this with the ntr on route as well, however, eventually the stories will branch off over a long period of time when it makes most sense to do so. I am keeping a very close eye on feedback and i'm not afraid to adapt and grow as a writer based on feedback.
