VN Ren'Py Between Us [v0.1] [Serpenthy]

As for a “vanilla” route — I honestly don’t know yet. I haven’t planned to go beyond the netorare / netorase genres. I want to tell a story specifically within these two genres, and those who don’t like them can simply choose other stories. For now, a vanilla route feels like spreading myself thin on something that doesn’t genuinely interest me.
People above mentioned that the mobile format works well for beginner developers — and that’s true. But I’m also genuinely drawn to this format, because to some extent it reflects situations from my own life. In a way, the entire story will reflect that.
And of course, this won’t be one of those stories written by an AI. I might end up writing a weak script or make logical mistakes — but it will be my script, my story, the one I want to tell to you: people who are tired of typical, formulaic visual novels that follow the same шаблон and never truly leave an impression.

I personally consider the inclusion of Vanilla/Loyal paths into these stories utterly pointless.

We are here to watch the couple explore new things together, or get torn apart by distance - not a carbon-copy of Seventh Heaven.

Focus on the NTR/NTS paths, make them the best you can, but for the love of God: don't skimp out on proper epilogues to the story. That final nail needs to be hammered correctly, or it just sours the whole experience.

I will be following the development with interest.

P.S. What's the development timeline looking like? Every month? Every 2 months? Longer?

Husband returns from a 2 year mission abroad, and finally meets his 2 months old baby. lol

THX for sharing...

Yep you only give that kind of freedom to a woman if your ok raising another man's child. lol

 

[Serpenthy]

Thanks for more glorious netorare! The wife looks hot; can't wait to see her stolen.



And mad props for this outlook on things. Human-written scripts, even with errors, are far more interesting and enjoyable. Similarly, I have to give you credit for your take on not including a vanilla route; write what you love and it'll never feel like work.

Glad to hear that! Thank you for the kind words and support — it helps me understand that what I’m doing actually has value.
Merry Christmas to everyone here. May this evening allow us all to take a break from everything that weighs us down and spend a little time doing what we truly love.
As for me — I already know exactly what I’ll be doing.

Spoiler: Merry Christmas

Honestly, I’m repulsed by the way some stories weave in old men, fathers, homeless people, and similar characters whose role is to corrupt or prey on a female character. I have no desire to include anything like that — I don’t find it sexual in any way.
Grace is young, playful, and a bit sweetly naive, but overall she’s a kind and charming girl. I treat this character with care, and I really don’t want her to be exposed to something like that

Are you opposed to her father-in-law being included on principle or? Because if you are talking about Ugly Old Bastard kink, you can safely skip that one (plenty of that to spare in every NTR game), but if you don't mind creating a father-in-law that is actually the proper age (late 40s, early 50s, fit & doesn't look like a decomposing corpse), then I'd say go for it.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts! I agree with you and I’ll do my best to maintain a solid level of quality throughout the entire story.
As for the update schedule — I think the mobile format should realistically allow for monthly updates. If I manage to release something earlier, that would be great, of course. I’m not rushing things, but every new subscriber notification feels like it’s saying: “I’m waiting — I’m curious to see what comes next”
So for now, I’ll say it’ll be once a month, just like many others do.

No, I'm not principle about this kind of father-in-law; I just haven't thought about it yet. I might just add him in occasionally, but it's not a given that he'll have any special contact with Grace.

Ahh, so the singular antagonist will be the photographer on both the NTR and NTS routes? I like it. Keep it simple, keep it sexy. NTR works better if it feels like a proper affair, and not the wife just being a slut & jumping on every man she sees.

 

[Ts Lams]

Another one of those mobile ntr games..

The genre is not growing with those types of games... Bored

A fan of purely "vanilla" games wouldn't typically seek out this genre, so why some people who follow these games still want a vanilla route? Do you think anyone would actually enjoy a vanilla path where there is no sex—given the MC is thousands of miles away from the FMC—and consists only of dialogue? Certainly not. So why is there consistently a 20% demand for a vanilla route in these types of games?

It is because they view this path as an "escape hatch." These players feel that if the "sharing" dynamic devolves into cuckolding or other heavy drama, they can use that route as a defensive shield. They aren’t being irrational; in the current market, many who start with the promise of NTS eventually spiral into full cuckolding and the genuine humiliation of the MC

Therefore, my personal take is that if you build a solid, confident MC and a strong, caring FMC, underpinned by a compelling and natural relationship, then no one will feel the need for a "loyal" route; the "sharing" and "cheating" routes alone will suffice

Exactly. I want this to be a story that people can actually believe in. We all understand that a plot where your girlfriend or wife suddenly, out of nowhere, starts wanting other men one after another feels unrealistic — and it’s hard to take seriously.
However, I’m convinced that if you genuinely want to explore this fantasy with your partner in real life and are ready to face the consequences, many women can become interested in it. At least, I’m speaking from my own experience here.
And as for female infidelity when a partner is far away — that’s not even something worth arguing about. It can happen to anyone. I want my story to feel believable, something you can look at and say: “Yes, this could actually happen in real life.”
Even though, of course, it usually doesn’t unfold over just a few weeks like it does in a game — that’s simply a gameplay convention.

I’ll probably leave growing the genre to the professionals for now. This is my first visual novel, so my goal here is simply to tell the story I’ve created and hope that someone out there will enjoy it

 

[zonezoneman08]

Average soldier's life in the 21st century be like
"I love watching my wife get f*cked by other men while I die protecting my country HUUUUURRRRAAAAHHH "

No offense to military folks, but it is what it is.

 

[TurboKinetics]

Its not so bad its another ai ntr phone game. What is a shame is how ambiguous they make the description. Are there routes or no?

 

[qwerty676767]

A man fires a rifle for many years, and he goes to war. And afterward he turns the rifle in at the armory, and he believes he’s finished with the rifle. But no matter what else he might do his wife will always cuck him...

 

[pancreas]

As long as the story isn't copy-pasted from a ChatGPT prompt, and the dev puts some thought into the NTR/NTS paths, we should be good to go.

i was going to make a joke about this because i imagine most of the games in this genre are 99% ai art and text, but it looks like this dev is actually putting the work in.
that being said, i'm still not interested in ntr stuff. but hey, good luck to the dev

 

[Serpenthy]

All of this text was written by me, not by an AI. I put my own thoughts into every sentence and every reply, so you can judge it as something made by human hands — whether good or bad, but human nonetheless.
If you’ve tried the game, you may have noticed that I even left typos in some places on purpose, so it would feel like a simple, natural conversation between two people who love each other on the distance and smile when the light of the phone screen illuminates their faces.

 

[Ronny8888]

really, it took only 5 minutes and FMC is already cheating, wow, fastest NTR ever seen, I read that the dev wrote that FMC is kind and sweet, with the utmost respect, she became a slut after only three photos.

If you want to explore your sexual side, because you're young, then, with respect, don't get married, have fun, fuck, do what's best for you, your body and yours, but all this doesn't justify disrespect towards a person who loves you, so the game must take its course. But if you're talking to me about real life, then no, I accept that no one owns another human being, but I don't accept disrespect, however, we are all free to play as we want, but without hurting others, so what's the point of getting married if the desire is what you described.
