I get what you mean about the ending arc, but based on what the dev said on Itch, “The order of the girls was planned from the start. I think corruption works best when it builds up slowly.”, it doesn’t really sound like a redemption or revenge route is part of the plan. And honestly, the lack of Patreon updates, teasers, or dev logs lately makes it harder to stay optimistic.
That said, I’m still trying to be considerate until it’s clear whether he’s just lazy or genuinely struggling. From 0.1 up to before 0.4, he was actually really consistent with updates, regular posts, teasers, and progress logs for supporters. The slowdown only started after his art guy left, and he had to take over the prompting himself instead of finding a replacement like many suggested.
So yeah, sex scenes like the one you mentioned, where the guy’s skin tone randomly changes, feel more like rookie mistakes from someone still learning. I bet dev also knows that part is very important so I’d rather believe it’s just part of the growing pains, and that he’ll fix it in future builds.
Story-wise, since he already confirmed the girls’ order is set in stone, I think the rough outline’s probably done, but the workload must’ve tripled now that he’s handling writing, coding, and art alone. 0.4 felt short to me too, the scenes could’ve been more “slow-burn” like he originally promised, cause would've been nice to see more reluctant side of the Aunt on her first sex scene with Malik since she does have a husband but I can understand why it turned out that way.
What I really hope to see going forward is a stronger focus on the “slow corruption” he talked about, more moments that show the MC’s growing worry and maybe if he finally accept that he is a cuck due to the early game showing that he does have that fetish secretly and make us understand what drives each woman toward their choices. Those gradual, emotional shifts are what make NTR hit hard when it’s done right. This game really has the potential for that. It’s one of the few that actually gave me that pang of jealousy feeling, most can’t even pull that off.
