Need Interracial BBC

That's actually could work, like a new black student like Meredith, joining the school's basketball team, the black guy came from a broken home
(his father convicted criminal for dealing with drugs, and his mother very kind to her son but have an illness and they can't afford her medical treatment) which made him a quiet and calm guy that don't interact with others too much, Until Jennifer notices him keeping his distance from everyone and packing his stuff after a training after school and try to chat with him and asking why he's quite and keeps his distance from everyone, and slowly the guy start opening up to Jennifer and telling her about his family's situation and that he dream of becoming a famous basketball player to able to afford his mother medical treatment and getting a better life for them, and because of Jennifer's family and her sister Ashley keeps telling to get a bf Jennifer and the guy becomes a couples and he treats her very well and kind with her, which makes Ashley mocking Jennifer and being racist to the guy for being a son of a criminal, and for the "optional avoidable ntr" Jennifer can have an option to brag to Ashley about his black bf of being very good at bed with his bbc and he's would be better than her boyfriend Cam and challenging her to try it herself, then Ashley accepts the challenge and get hooked to the black guy and secretly join Jennifer and her black bf in a threesome behind Cam's back, and she get caught by cam and he gets in a fight against the black guy for stealing his gf, which getting both guys of being expelled from school.....(minor ending)

There's nothing better than seeing a game with an Android version

The same way that stories are told from multiple perspectives. Not every netorare scenario is written from a first person viewpoint from the loved one being taken away from.

I know, it's novel (get the joke, I said novel talking about writing haha I make myself laugh).

Or are you just a troll and I was baited?

"...focusing on the feelings of the betrayed partner. The term emphasizes the experience of the cheated-on individual, rather than the perspective of the cheater." First person viewpoint is the literal definition of Netorare.

Something I thought they were working on but seem to have not said anything about for years is splitting the NTR tag into Netorare & Netorase & Netori. Seems so obvious so not sure why it never materialized.

it's in the plans. there next website rollout...whenever that happens is supposed to add them all.

So you are a troll.

First person isn't required, netorare stories generally contain a protagonist (the stolen from), a deuteragonist (the stolen), and an antagonist (the stealer). It's incredibly easy to describe the situation or to write without being told from the perspective of the protagonist (lover or loved one being stolen from).

i am not a troll, you're an idiot. You literally just said 'contains a protagonist (the stolen from)'. You might need to look up protagonist. If it's not first person perspective then the person being cheated on isn't the protagonist and it's not netorare. it's just a story with a lot of cheating in it.

Thanks! I'm also considering a self hosted web app, but not sure if it would net me more players. I didn't even consider the Android player base as I don't self install packages on my phone

I would argue that there are plenty of doujinshi that are tagged as netorare and have the cuck in the first few pages and then completely focuses on the girls perspective

would be an example

This is a corruption game first and foremost. If I have characters cheating on each other or getting their love interest taken away from them, then I feel compelled to tag it as ntr. This also intersects with my writing style being in 3rd person with multiple povs.

Look, i'm not going to do this in your forum cause i love this game and i'm not gonna sully this chatroom with this. It's your game tag it how you want, but the traditional NTR is told from a first person perspective of the one being cheated on. Other than that...keep up the good work.

Edit: Now if it's Multiple protagonists and you spend a good deal of time in the cucks head then it's also netorare...but if you don't live in that persons head and feel their anguish and hear their thoughts it's just not the same.

Textbox + quick menu appearance tweak for v0.2.1

Not bad! Sexy ladies (or cute girls? ), hot scenes & love the Meredith type girl trope

One thing: coach is truly a bum (his appearance at least, note that I did skip some of the dialogue) hard to believe (a girl like) Amber has an affair with a guy like that.. But It seems ugly-bastard is a thing here? (So that can (should) go in the Genre spoiler then I suppose.)

Personally I wouldn't mind some, say, 2-frame animations. I think that could spicy h-scenes up a bit more (love the sfx, the panting 'n stuff and the suspenseful music btw!) Can go a long way with proper transitions? However, some people may not be fan of that, so configurable and/or a toggle to show them would be a good thing then I guess.

@ dev did you make that glitch effect yourself?

I did a tweak (for desktop) to make things fit better to my liking (improving legibility/appearance). Mostly subtleties, although I did significantly reduce the quick menu button text size. Extract in the folder named 'game':

Duly Noted. Glad you are enjoying the game so far! I'm still experimenting with stuff. Sometimes I'll have an idea for a scene and I'll be like "this would be better from X pov" or "maybe I should start the scene from X then switch to Y". I'll probably remove female_protag as a tag

Yeah Coach is taking advantage of a bad situation. Very scummy behaviour, definitely an ugly-bastard. 2-frame animations sound nice. I have my own personal gripe with tools like WAN and full blown animations as I feel it causes an uncanny valley effect in the middle of a 2D game. I did like the way the ending of Ashley/Cam's scene came out and feel like that's what you are refering to.

Cheers!

Your textbox is already decent IMO. Most ppl (I assume) prefer a (partly or full) transparent background. I think the type faces you use + outline are pretty legible.
I made the text just a tiny bit transparent, just to take the edge of the brightness off.

Most of the times I find the say_label (who) sitting (just a bit) too close to the text.

Kerning adjust is a tricky one o/c, never gives 100% satisfying results.

Having some controls in Prefs for text size & line spacing would be sweet (the first some authors do, the 2nd is almost always neglected). I could add those as well (making it more into a small mod) so you can pick that up if you like. Note that there's shift+A, but that's not the same (scaling), and can have adverse effects.
I suppose I could add a slider control for sexVoice as well then; nice to have that separately adjustable from the other sfx I think.

Hey, the weird thing is I see in this screenshot from OP that your quick menu has a small font there (20px as well?) but it's missing the outline. Perhaps, middle ground, outline of 1 is sufficient there? + perhaps set bottom Border to 1 to lift it just a bit off the bottom.

I did like the way the ending of Ashley/Cam's scene came out and feel like that's what you are refering to.

Yeas that's nice. Thought popped up during Amber's reverse cowgirl. Note that I'm thinking of looping anims here. I can imagine one for Ashley's big plump ass doggy scene already Would go nicely alongside the squeaky bed sfx I reckon! (And of course, > 2 frames is always an option )

Yeah I made changes this version because I played it on android emulator and couldn't go back unless I hit the quick menu button. That's when I noticed that the quick menu wasn't outlined and hard to read. In which case I added outline and then the disabled quickmenu buttons were extra outlined Increasing the text size also had the effect of the say_label interesecting with it. I was sort of done trying to finetune everything after that haha

CSS was never my strong suit so this would help immensely. I noticed your mod code is using renpy.register_style_preference
Is this just putting styling variables under one namespace that the user can then choose in the preference menu?

I'm guessing this would be done with webms. for the glitch effect I know I can define a custom image that flips through different images and can even repeat, but I wouldn't be able to put text in between. So its kinda like loop until user hits next and then dialogue. But with webms I would imagine it would loop while characters are giving their gratuitous groans
Edit: NVM looks like defining an image with pauses, a repeat and setting it with scene will loop it during dialogue

 

[vforvlad]

Great start! I really enjoyed playing through it. The characters are varied, the artwork is great, and I like the story arcs so far. Just don't go straight to sex so quickly. There are plenty of ways that you can stretch out the progression and tease us along

Have you looked into the "Mobile devices" section in gui.rpy? Also in screens.rpy there are examples of implementation of the 'small' variant & others. See

How it is currently, quick menu is (way) too big for 'large'. I see that both the default value and the small variant are set to 35. So bring the default back to ~ 21 or so.

I'd be interested how your example will look with such an image + transitions in between. Transitions may make it acceptable, while w/o it, as in your gif, is too plain/staccato and kinda not so great (IMO)
