Damn, since when did the question: "Does this game has ntr" turn into a whole argument about definitions, be or not to be,.... like this is some kind of philosophy shiets? The MC doesn't have his girls fucked by another guy without his consent, end of the story. Those girls might fuck each other, but it may very well stay within his harem member. It is simple as that, that one scene where he sees Jasmine getting groped by Ashley's boyfriend doesn't count. Stop complicating things and it shall be fine. Jesus, there are a ton of games with similar relationship situations, and there ain't nobody arguing much, it seems to be. So leave the thread of my favorite game alone MF.


Peace.
people have somehow evolved the term ntr to also include lesbian/girl on girl (even when they arent lesbians and are doing it to please the MC) as ntr

Can't tell if i should be proud that people are becoming more progressive and viewing gays as normal relationships or disappointed they're letting a little girl on girl action hinder their enjoyment of a fictional game :KEK:

Can someone explain to me a few differences in blackmail and love routes starting with the prologue? Is the blackmail route more of a "hardcore" domination route, or is it more of a "lust route" and is the love route more of a "pure route"? If I want to take the harem route (if possible) do I have to choose the love route? Does the route in the prologue possibly change anything, and if not, does the choice of a given route translate into chapter 1? And the last question, what is the biggest difference between the two?
Errr, I think the choices do have impact later, but won't be much, since the main game has a different system so I think it will only result in different route point's values. I suggest you to try both choices for the experience, it doesn't take a long time, and you kinda have to re-enter your choice in the main game :HideThePain:, and it does worth it!

I gotta hand it to Dev on this update. I haven't laughed so much at an attempted murder aftermath. The antics between Sophia and Ava dealing with Lori (poor Lori), Isabella, and Kane is comedy gold. Keep up the good work.

Man, the story and the narrative in this game is so damn good! Holy shit! It keeps getting better and better!

To the point that it almost makes me mad that the update, and the story as a whole, is as good as it is. I really wished this update was 3x longer.

Seriously, very few times have I read an AVN as engaging as this one. Hell, it's about as good as some actual novels I've read in the last couple of years (at least up to the point where the story is now).

I really, truly hope that this AVN blows up, to the point where LazyBloodlines is able to hire a team so he can keep pumping out updates at a faster pace (while keeping or even upping the quality).
Loved the story so far. Characters are well made. Especially Jasmin. My personal favorite. Their personalities are so fitting. Really excited for this update considering there's 8 sex animation!! I thought there's a chance for a Jasmin scene somehow.

Nah...just a character with multiple different position scenes. Flashback. How naive of me. Animations is not scenes. This is blueballed me speaking btw.

Other than that the story is so fucking good so that pretty much hard carry me for this update. Looking forward to the next! Hope the dev can get a bigger team with more frequent and larger update. Keep up the good work.
Man, this game just getting better and better, is been a while since i read something this good, goddamn it! i want more now :cry:

I don't know how this gonna go on from now on, but i can't wait to see it!
Saw the game on the updates page and the lewds looked hot enough to give it a spin. Once i got just a bit into the story I blitzed through the prologue and Ch1 in a few hrs and holy hell it is absolutely S tier storytelling to the point where my focus shifted from a wanting to see lewds to just immersing myself in the story and characters. Normally if the VN doesn't grip me i tend to skip to the hot stuff but here I read every line. Keep up the good work dev as this game just shot up to the top of my "games to look out for" list.

Also to steal a joke from somewhere that best describes the game for me: I was prepared to fap but I wasn't prepared to feel. “I was prepared to fap but not prepared to feel (the use of FFDP-Gone Away broke me)
Holy shit. The story is rly getting better and better. The Dream with Ingrid.... I swear someone was cutting onions. The saddest part about a great game like this is the wait for a new update. Sheesh. Keep up the great work. Can´t wait for more :)
Thank you for the update Mr.Dev. Quality work, as always. Your story teared a grown man up, and he is Fucking proud of it. I enjoy it too much, it makes me feel like I'm seeing a Japanese AV star in action: The quality is top-notch, but it's TOO DAMN FUCKING SHORT!! Still, gotta appreciate the hard work put into the quality though. Again, thank you, Mr.Dev. Best wishes to you.

I was going to joke about how I'd add NTR to the game with the weirdest morph I could create if you guys didn't give me reviews. But considering the last posts and the discussion... I think it's best if I didn't joke about it... :KEK::whistle::coffee:

Seriously though. These do sound like great reviews. If you think the game is worth it, consider adding the exact text for a review. I always read every comment. But when we have 40+ pages, they get lost eventually. But reviews are forever. :cool:
And I do read them every now and then. It's also a great way to let other people know why you like/dislike the game.

Jokes aside, thanks for the kind words. You guys are fantastic. I'm thrilled to see how many people are enjoying the game. And that works wonderfully for motivating devs to keep working on their games.

The game changed direction a bit. So... Let me answer those questions individually.

Small dialogue changes and the context for how MC gets closer to the girls might differ a bit. But the goal is to have a snowball effect. There are almost imperceptible changes in dialogue lines at first, but as you farm points for love/corruption, it changes a lot in the long run. But as the current state of things is, it doesn't change much.

Btw, who the f**k is Kayle?

*Edit: Remembered who she is now, Don't remember doing anything she should be haunted by us instead of that Ron guy though. I've always thought that our beef with that MF Roy was much bigger than we thought. Now I'm kinda 70% sure the guy following us and recently putting 2 holes in our body have something to do with them. Didn't she one of the main girls in some of the first updates? It will be nice to see her more, but absolutely unnecessary for her to be a main gal again. I really don't see anything unique enough of her to take away our present girl's screen time. Heck, she barely even qualified for a side girl if not for her involvement in the story.
Kayle is the perfect example of how the mind plays tricks on people's lives.
She went through a very traumatic experience. She's almost raped while her boyfriend is overpowered and forced to let it happen. Then she stays in shock while a mysterious figure saves and takes her to an abandoned place. There, she freaks out and is left alone in a psychotic state, afraid to get out for god knows how long. Instead of associating MC's image as a hero that saved her, he's the living embodiment of a traumatic experience for her. And because of that, she's having nightmares and hallucinations of his ghost, which worsens her mental state. She plays a part later in the story, but not for now. We have the main girls to focus on. :sneaky:

Thank you for answering our question Mr.Dev. I have some more questions:

-What is your intent with the original idea of a sandbox management game? The game right now seems to be going the usual VN way with a little bit of sandbox element here and there.

-What will the content of the next update be focused on ?

-Can you make a song list or some kind of name notification when a song play? I really love your music selection in the game.

-What do you think about our lord and savior Lightning McQueen?

Oh yeah, And I forgot to answer some comments above.
I'm working out of passion, so the end goal is to keep working on it. Hopefully, open a studio one day. Who knows. :whistle::coffee:

Thank you for answering our question Mr.Dev. I have some more questions:
Alright, let's do this.

-What is your intent with the original idea of a sandbox management game? The game right now seems to be going the usual VN way with a little bit of sandbox element here and there.
The initial sandbox was supposed to be similar to Witch Trainer from Akabur, but still following an "original" identity. You'd call girls to the office, build relationship points, etc.
Based on the community's feedback and how my game evolved, we've moved away from that. But I still want some sandbox elements for repeatable/extra scenes.

-What will the content of the next update be focused on ?
I'm trying to see if I can make smaller but more frequent updates. The next update is supposed to focus on Lila/Grace/Isabella/Ava.

-Can you make a song list or some kind of name notification when a song play? I really love your music selection in the game.
I'll make a credit list with the songs one day. :HideThePain:

-What do you about our lord and savior Lightning McQueen?
Yes.

Credit to your characterization: for me as a fan to remember with non-voiced characters that one of them is British (even though I struggle reading in a British accent in my head) but that as soon as somebody tries to impersonate her over the phone, I'm thinking: "ACCENT!" and then later when Isabella starts criticizing the surgery, I'm like: "UH-oh", and you execute the character responses perfectly. And that coming right after the confusion played out between Lori and Ava due to their respective ignorance *chef's kiss*. Really am surprised with this much non-interactive but still entertaining scenes in a porn game, and that it can be so light-hearted between the grim-dark of near death before, and revenge path after.

this new version with a clean installs of 0.8.0b causes a chain of nonstop errors when sitting in your office and you choose to text sophia. You can rollback and choose the 'call lori' option and the game progresses fine

In my original post, instead of using NTR, I should have used any other tags as examples. That's all it was meant to be. This is tiring.
I mean unless you have issues with reading comprehension your example is good.
Some people just see NTR and then see nothing else..Some people apply it where it's incorrect as you said. IT's a quite simple tag as to when it applies. NTR is simply the MC getting his loved ones stolen from him sexually and emotionally he also needs to witness it, that's an important part.
It's grown beyond that lately though. It's somehow become an umbrella term for many things it shouldn't be.
I am lucky though since I don't self insert. I don't put myself as the MC, He's just a guy. It's always been weird to me to self insert, I'm not wired that way. NTR isn't a thing that applies to a scenario just because you think it should. If a game makes you feel a certain way and you don't like it, that's fine and you don't have to play it, unless you are a masochist and like to feel that way. But if you self insert into a character that has his own feelings different from your own, that's bad roleplay.

I think you're handling the Kayle side plot really well and how it weaves into the larger story. When she appeared at Halloween i had to do a double take of "Who that?" and made the game world feel a little more organic/independent of the MC.

The game being what it is, plot armor for the MC and Love interests is usually assumed and taken for granted. As I got to her third appearance I kept telling myself the MC will be fine and that she calms down. What followed was a shock and it gave so much weight to the story because the aftermath had tension. Plot armor was still there but it was enough to make me doubt and question if maybe there isn't. Suddenly the stakes were real.

As for the NTR talk, if I can add my two cents to the discussion. Im not the biggest fan of it but i always thought of it as contextual. In self-insert games I avoid it. Here, despite initially naming the MC after myself out of habit, he's well developed enough that it's quite hard to self insert and instead I shut down my metagaming brain and chose to play as close to what he would do, similar to say playing Geralt in the Witcher 3. Hence if NTR happens down the line as the result of the consequences to the MC's actions I'll gladly accept the cucking (NTR or full NonCon) for the sake of the story and good character writing. If you plan to go that way just make sure you leave us tiny clues early on so it doesn't feel like a "Diabolus ex Machina"

I'm not sure that "progressive" is the right word to describe people's preferences to fuck each other:cautious: It's more like a "degradation" in relation to gays:LOL:

Updated my compressed Android port of Drop Out Saga to v0.8.0b with Shawn's mod included.

I've added a few standard gestures: swipe up for save menu, swipe down to hide UI, swipe left to rollback and swipe right to skip.

Please let me know if you encounter any issues with the port and I'll see what I can do to get them sorted.

They are two words missing in the overview :
"allowing you to I've your peacefully"
allowing you to live your life peacefully.

The game is good with a uncommon base.
