Yep, so... Story-wise some themes are not meant to be avoidable. Just like in real life I don't want mc to have a full control. I don't want to reveal to much at this point. In the first chapter story is quite linear. That's because I wanted to introduce all the characters. Set the stage. I plan more parallel paths in next chapters. Yes - both gog and some of ntr are planned. Cannot yet comment on who is to be involved and to what extent would that be avoidable. Still - I am super curious to know what audience suggests to have/not have.
Well, thanks for saying this!
Highly appreciate it.
Good luck with your game,
and I hope you find your audience.

It is definitely a big no for NTR, in terms of lesbian content being avoidable and not optional and of course the Harem must be present

Interesting. Thanks. I observe a significant push against NTR. Here and in PMs.
Well I guess I'm going against the tide a bit, but I don't mind NTR if it serves a great plot. I really like your concept that "some themes are not meant to be avoidable. Just like in real life" - just so long as you don't do a DPC and traumatise us all for life after we've fallen in love with your characters!

So far, your characters are intriguing, and I hope the first impressions are just that, and that they flesh out (believe it or not, no pun intended :)) over time, rather than becoming stereotypes.

Also (and I guess true sandbox lovers will disagree), I'd suggest limiting your threads to a manageable level to avoid paradoxes. Nothing drags me out of my suspension of disbelief more than e.g. a character asking when I'm going to finish something that I completed several days ago and tell them it's finished every time we meet! I do really admire devs that take on the challenge of a sandbox game, and enjoy playing several of them, but I can't think of a single one that doesn't suffer in this way, not to mention the grind potential.

Anyway, best of luck with your project, and I look forward to future releases.

I think you are making a very valid point here. NFR does not always mean the same. There are different shades and magnitude level. I believe that some jealousy makes an object even more desirable.

I don't think renpy as a framework is suitable for a proper sandbox. I am more after telling a story with some diversions... While keeping it concise ofc.

Only great graphics and long tall sexy girls here. The ambiances, houses and dialogues are terrific and I love the inner voice. A very good idea !
Animes are so realistic, it's a dream !??
A huge THX for the developpers.
Keep your great job !!! I miss your work.

Well there are varying degrees of hate for NTR. There are some that can live with it being optional as in it doesn't happen if they choose it to be that way. And others who will completely ignore no matter if it's optional or not. But you saying that some will be there no matter what you are alienating about 60-70% of potential players. It's your story and product so run your business the way you see fit. I personally don't care for it but if it's only a small part of the game and I can avoid that LI for the rest of the story I don't have any problem but if I'm stuck with that LI and it is a recurring thing that's a mood killer. The question is the scope of it and how many LI's are gonna be part of it. Because the more you include the smaller your target audience becomes.

Thank you for the comment. It's difficult to discuss the size and scope of it. It's challenging to define what constitutes a significant amount and what does not. Each person would have their own limit. It's interesting to read that 60-70% would avoid the game/vs knowing there is any amount of it.

ilonly play a game that has ntr if it is all 100% avoidable and even then the dev spending time on it is enough for me not not support the game on patreon or similar sites

Hey, could you please give an example of NTR that would be "enough"? High level. What plot theme would make you not to support. I am genuinely curious.

tbh i have very low tolerance of anything ntr related including not likeing LI having relationships with other LI's but for me i wont support a game financially if there is any LI cheating on mc including if its lesbian. or if it is constant threat/ having to babysit a LI so she dosnt do something

Yes - thanks. Understood. Using your numbers - 60-70% of people are more after a story where everything revolves around protagonist - LI dyad.
