Thanks for the constructive feedback. I've added some of it to the "To Do" pile.

New update might come out this week. I'm almost finished, but I'm expanding the early Mom/Son date that was pushed to Day 8 and the renders are being a hindrance. There are weird positioning choices and the lighting just randomly changes from day to night and then back to day.

One thing I've noticed after playing the game in joiplay is how difficult is to gain Tracy love points, it is like somehow she is far more strict and angrier at the MC than the original while the point progression with Sunny seems to be similar save the casual mentions of her and the MC being "together" due to the incident(a little cringy the MC apologising in his mind when he asked for Kala's number, would be better for Sunny to be a bit warmer to the MC since the start to show more emotion than just being conflicted). No problems with Liza very similar options to gain points with her. The corruption system also seems to be stuck but hopefully you guys can fix it for the next versions as Corruption is kinda the main poinof the Culture Shock universe, a place where sex is just more normal and how the MC & Co adapt to it.
Yeah, balancing is hard. It's constantly changing as I integrate more days, because I don't think a user should be able to get high numbers so early in the game.

I've actually disabled the "incident" route for now. It was getting too difficult to integrate into the existing storylines now that I'm integrating scenes from future days into earlier ones. I'll re-implement it again when I'm farther along.

I agree about the internal apologizing with Karla's number. I'll restrict those lines to the BETA status.

That's a good idea about Sunny being warmer in some places. I think it would actually add to the "conflicted" dynamic she has with the mc. It may not happen this update, but I'll review her dialogue and see if I can add some more 'loving' lines.

So I've mentioned it before, but I've cut the corruption system from the rewrite. I would rather try to craft scenarios and relationship dynamics where the scenes could plausibly happen. And I'm not a huge fan of the mechanic in general. I think it 'overpowers' the story in almost every game I've seen it in. Like, you make a girl wear a skimpier bikini a couple times and then suddenly she's getting gangbanged in the bathroom. It's a net negative for character development.

Would like to request faster plot development for the incest storyline specially if the MC and Sunny already have something together, which would mean an even bolder Sunny than the original(like when she sees the MC naked in the bathroom perphaps you can sneak some touching and even a handjob, improve upon small scenes and add some for the sis). I echo as the others did on the chat that we need more scenes for Kala and Emma those girls have always been one of the paramount selling points for Culture Shock and the MC barely gets with them let us fuck them earlier and more often in the Alpha Path. Hopefully you can keep up when the time comes threesomes in the same way or even better than the original.
The incest storyline is getting sped up in many ways, if only to make the NTR more effective. It wasn't my intention to establish a pre-existing relationship between the sister and the MC, just imply that 'something' happened to make future events more plausible. I may have to rework their dialogue in the future.

As of right now (things are constantly changing), Karla will probably get sped up a bit. Emma may get a little slower. I tihnk she needed way more build-up in the original game than we got to justify some of the shit that she does.

In my opinion, what sets AVNs apart from normal porn is that buildup to a scene. There would need to be story reasons why the MC is gratuitously fucking the girls so early and often. Again this is just my opinion, but if a sex scene doesn't further the story, expand a character, or add context for future events, than I don't think it should be there.

Also noticed that you've listed the neighbour that welcomes the family as a possible girl and that's great as we only had till now the teachers and the Tracy-Eliza duo regarding older love characters.
That's actually from the original game. But I am removing her and some of the other characters from the menu screen in the next update. The renders just aren't there and you can tell they were added as possibilities, but then abandoned later by the original creator.

Any chance of a netorase path? Like you want to share the girls with Marcus or push some towards him?
Yeah, there's going to be different flavors of NTR. Hotwifing should be pretty easy to do.

Damn, I wanted the MC to fuck Marcus's mom.
There are a few renders, but not enough for a scene. I could make it part of an 'ending' montage if the original creator doesn't make the renders himself by then.

We're just about a quarter of the way through the game now. Updates will probably be slower because the major divergences are starting. I'm also going to be helping a friend get the technical portion of his startup off the ground soon, so I'm going to have less time to work on this in general.

----------

Mega links for version 0.25 are on the front page and I have reported it.

Notes On the Update

First thing, I reworked a lot of the back-end code, so your old save files are going to be incompatible. I'll try to mitigate this in the future, but one of the major goals of the project was to make the code more organized, so it might be unavoidable.

This update has the remake's first major sex scene on Day 8 with the Mom. It's available (and avoidable) for all status Mc's, but this scenario requires that Lucas sleeps with her first.

Why was this choice made?

For a mother to fuck her son, things either need to be going REALLY well in her life or really bad. And the game has already established things were bad. I tried a few ways, but I couldn't find a reasonable way for them to fuck this early without a triggering event, one that hits deep insecurities, with a little emotional manipulation from the MC.

After she gets used and ghosted by Lucas, you can take her on the date that was moved from Day 5. It has been reworked to give more justification/subtext for the act. There are four different variations (some shared dialogue but way different vibes) of the sex scene based on status and relationship score. My favorite route to the sex scene right now involves slut shaming the Mom after her walk of shame, with low love and the alpha status.

Non-NTR players will get a similar scene in the future when the relationship has more time to cook or a suitable triggering event comes along.

As requested, I've added a "Walkthrough" feature. I've also created an Android APK, but have no idea if I've done it correctly. Let me know if something is wrong with it.

The next update should contain a gallery feature. It's not as easy as reusing the code from the OG game because I use the same scenes in different ways for different routes. The gallery will be the last QoL feature added. Each additional one has added a lot of development time per update and it's really boring to do.

Also, I am planning on revisiting scenes from already implemented days that could be improved. Currently on the docket is the Day 2 Karla beach scene. It was pointed out how ridiculous both outcomes are and a more neutral dialogue option was requested. I'm also going to look at the Aunt Liza suntanning scene. I just don't find the 'sexy' dialogue there believable and it's currently just a grammatically correct version of the original dialogue.

I want to reiterate that I am willing to implement suggestions as long as it fits with the original story beats or doesn't go against what I think is the spirit of the game (like cutting out all NTR). So if you have an idea for a change with well-thought out reasons to back it up and it's supported by the OG renders, I am willing to listen. Thanks again to the users who gave great feedback last update. Many of their suggestions have been implemented in this one.

I've also added answers to commonly asked questions about why this is even a thing to the first post of the thread. Please direct users there when needed.

Edit: After some feedback, the sex scene is going to be reworked to make it less available to certain routes.

- Day8 - In the MC and Mom sex scene, the MC says "And away we go." as he thrusts into her for the first time. Later she's described with, "she was so wet that she could fill a jug."
I no longer recognize the game without pearls like this and "torpedo tits". Will you at least keep the bits in the middle where the writer suffered a stroke and forgot what punctuation and grammar are? I can only take so many changes before my heart starts giving out!

My friends,
I developed a simple WT Mod for Cultural Replay. I really liked Culture Shock and I think it's great that Palos69 has developed a fan remake. This Mod, as is my custom, is based on the Alpha route. All game decisions remain but the Mod emphasizes the non-NTR content. In case it helps anyone, I hope you enjoy it.
Best regards,

Murray.
just heads up. new game ver out

>first post is a dude whining about ntr
does anyone here ever use the filter tags system?? you don't want something? you block it! why subject yourself to things you hate on purpose? what kind of masochism is this??
i have scat blocked, you think im going in scat threads asking a dude doing a free remake on their own free time to change it?
some games who actually are not NTR get sorted out cuz someone ask to put NTR tag cuz some girl is married ou have a gf cuz they are retards, i never complain about NTR but i dont filter out cuz some games stop being in the field so you need to manually ignore the NTR games like i do (only the games who REALLY are made only to be NTR not the games who maybe has a ntr patch and you can just avoid it and have fun )

For Exemple some games have Netori and are Marked as NTR, i love Netori so i cant filter NTR out

Using this mode I will find NTR contents. Thank you for making it easy for NTR lovers.
