At first I thought Kathy was going to be the stereotypical "bitchy sister", but their pool bonding shows a very strong relationship.
Besides my natural weakness to redheads, the pool bonding is definitely what made Kathy my favorite and this game a hidden gem in my book!
Hey guys, I'd just like to say that I didn't know what ntr meant before it was brought up in this thread
Woh! You didn't do your homework before jumping into this world!
I guess you learned about it the "hard way"!
When it comes to adult VN, this is probably the most conflictual theme around here! ^^
so I looked it up, before all my replies of course. Looking at the first couple of entries on Google, it describes ntr very negatively, aminoapps saying, "emotional hurting the significant other and with this also the audience". Urban dictionary says "where the protagonist has his/her lover stolen by someone", and "Quite often, Netorare hentai/NTR hentai end in depressed,
You must be registered to see the links
, and rage-filled characters rather than happy endings". Now, in the interest of full transparency, I'm not sure that this is what everyone means when they say ntr.
You've got the right definition!
But it doesn't prevent endless debates about it!
And saying "if the MC is hurt, so is the audience because of empathy" can also be a little simplistic since sometimes, the MC and the player feeling or POV doesn't match.
Indeed, an event can be perceived differently by the MC and the player. For example, if next update, Tahlia brings a boyfriend home to practice what she learned with the MC, even if the MC is cool with it and is happy for his little sister to put herself out there, the player could feel differently.
Other example: the MC phones Kathy while she's at work to ask her how it's going and they have a friendly chat. In the meantime, you show us what's happening to Kathy during the conversation and surprise, she's getting the D doggy style!
The MC is completely oblivious but the player will loose his shit! xD
Anyway, I forbid you to use those nasty ideas!
I want it to be clear that every single girl can be romanced with you as their sole partner IN THE SCENES. I'm highlighting in the scenes, because in the case of Scarlett, she is obviously married to Peter and they have quite a sexual relationship. However, you can romance her with or without Peter involved, but obviously it is implied she's still in a sexual relationship with Peter, you just don't see it. I didn't see this as cheating, since Peter is fine with it, even encouraging, and also there is no ill feelings anywhere, so I didn't see this as ntr. If you consider ntr to be any person having a sexual relationship with one of the girls you're also in a relationship with, all consented to with no ill feelings, and even offscreen, then I apologise, my intention was never to lie or deceive.
No deception nor NTR (plus, you don't plan to show anything that doesn't involve the MC so I would say, you're extra safe
). I think this falls under the "Swinging" tag on F95:
F95 rules about tags said:
[A couple allowing one or both partners to have sex with a third party.]
And this was already a planned tag cause of one path of the Bella storyline so nothing new under the sun I guess...^^
This relationship will be in the game, and I do not consider it ntr. I'd also like to make clear you do not even have to have a relationship with Scarlett.
I think this is always the best way to go to let the player choose to pursue a relationship or not, especially if the relationship involves kinks that aren't for everyone's taste ^^
Personally, I hate being forced into sharing (doesn't make sense since it should be wiling
) so it's good to know it's avoidable even if it means being one LI down. But since there's a path without the uncle participating and he is the one sharing his wife, I'll give it a go
(but I hope we won't have nasty comments like the aunt saying: "your uncle just creampied me but his stamina isn't as good as before so can I count on my handsome nephew to finish the job?"
)
I'm not gonna lie, I hope this sharing stuff is still gonna be the exception and not the norm with the LI, I don't even want to know a world where sweet Tahlia would be okay with that shit!
------------
For the next update, I'm hoping we'll see Tahlia's friend again (maybe making our little sister a little jealous in the process which could lead her to be more and more daring if she sees her friend as "competition"
)
Nice moment with the cousin this update. I was a little move but after the scene I was thinking that she had probably done a shit tone of introspecting to be able to pinpoint exactly how her life went to shit cause of her daddy issues! ^^ What I want to say is that it was probably too well-written to be credible but cool scene anyway
By the way, you can hit me up on Discord if you want me to do a speed run next update before releasing it (if you can crush one or two bugs before a release, that might prevent a few headaches
).
