Others E-Thots: A NTR Game Set in a 100% PC Interface [Ch. 2 v2.4] [Archipote]

[Silwith]

First time since the game's release that someone has said something good about the MC

But the intention was indeed for us to get used to him and for him to soften up to the girls, especially Morgane. That's what I was already saying in the first few pages when the MC was taking a beating hehe.

I don't think he's a bad guy, quite the contrary. He just has his own way of being

No? Then I chime in, yeah, he is a bit of a dick, but a somehow likeable one and whats more important, he is very different to other MCs, especially in any ntr and ntr-adjacent genre, so that makes him really fresh I think Overall kinda like a likeable jerk with flaws, but tbf, Morgane is a likeable girl with her own flaw (which powers off her brain when dick is involved... xD) it kinda fits

Tbh, that alone, that it is a ntr game that does the MC completly different to the norm is getting me to support Gotta wait 2 more updates for my treshhold to judge, but so far it is pretty much set I will after that if your update cycle not somehow suddenly becomes 6 months

Out of curiosity, how far can things go with Elaine as of now? I mean with MC and/or other people. I got the level 2 scenes from work already... is that it for now?
Also, do the love and lust values from phase 1 affect anything?

Lvl 2 of the job phase is the maximum level (and the last too, since we're moving on to chap 3 after the 2.5)

And no, sadly I haven't had a chance to find any interesting uses for love and lust. In Chapter 1 they unlock new cards, but not much else at the moment

So nothin spicier for Elain even in the main story? Damn... How long does it usually takes to get updates?

Hehe that's your fav girl ? Don't worry she's one of the main characters, at some point she'll get the spotlight too i feel.

And it depends for the update, I try my best to deliver one per month si let's hope that'll be the case for the 2.5 !

dang too bad a lot of it happens off screen. Just because the MC doesn't get to see it doesn't mean I don't want to.
I'd love some Morgane Elaine and Anna POV too.
And that cliffhanger was cruel.
Oh well, it was a good start to the game, I assume chapter 3 is where it all starts going.
Also the structure of chapter 1 was way better than chapter 2. The job system in chapter 2 was ass.
I liked the cards. Also given the fact that a lot of stuff from chapter 1 was just seemingly forgotten..that also made chapter 2 worse.
Or lets say, moved on from way too quickly. Though I guess with the limitations of the player only getting to see mainly these dicscord chats, I feel the game will get very limited very fast.
There is so much happening that would be nice to actually see happen. You had a chance to get Anna to force Morgane to record/take more pictures after their lovers spat, that would have solved a lot of the issues the game had after that. I get the Mystery NTR aspect, it's good sometimes but it's just too much missing.
That's just my opinion anyway. I feel like the best parts of the game will be well not in the game if you structure it this way.

I like the 2nd chapter mini game better, but it's probably because there wasn't much NSFW content in chapter 1. I still think the card minigame was interesting tho.

I agree with Morgane, Elaine and Anna POV idea. If the developer decides to go with it, please consider doing it in a way where you first get MC's POV with just enough infomation, to basically tease the scene and then give one of the girl's POV right after.

Avar's the only MC afaik, so I would want the game to still be mostly from his perspective and if the scenes with different POV don't play right after each other I think the teasing part is much weaker overall or can make you skip some dialogues cause you're curious what really happened.

At least that's my opinion on this.


EDIT: Oh and btw. with Elaine personality I can easily see situations when she records Morgaine cheating and sending it to Avar so she's a pretty easy pick for a believable deliverer of Morgaine material.

Yeah, maybe after you get the intended view of the event, you can go back to the gallery and see the full thing. Then dev only has to make tweaks to the original animation. Mostly view related, maybe darkening with a filter or chopped scenes to indicate pictures or short video clips, but the full scene and/or animation can be seen in the gallery after the fact. Dev gets to keep the intended POV intact while letting players who want more, see it.
I'd also like a bit more clarification on certain things for the sake of continuity. Are the camera scenes from the tasks Canon or fan service? It should be implied or explained more clearly. Because, as it is, it looks more like MC is pimping the girls out or they're doing their own thing and he gets off on watching.

One last thing. Dev mention potential branches. Seeing as most of the gameplay is via messages, I can't imagine the variations could end up more complex than, say, BaDIK or other AVNs, which requires entire scenes to unfold differently. It's mostly text.
My advice, follow the rule of KISS. Keep It Simple, Stupid. Start very basic. Two versions of Avar the player can choose from. Both corner Morgane about her cheating (even though he cheated also), but the split is either him taking charge of it and controlling it (chad) or the opposite path (cuck). This should influence how the girls treat him too, especially Elaine.

Everything that happens in the game has happened. Sometimes I remove things from older discussion/events, sometime I add some, so some details may vary from an update to another as the story is constantly evolving and things sometimes need to be adjusted. But if you saw something happening, consider it canon yeah. Including the jobs phases

As for the branches, I appreciate your advice. For the moment, I haven't really thought about it, since I'm working on 2.5, and above all it's just an idea that isn't at all conclusive or in any roadmap for chapter 3. Like you, I'm only discussing the possibilities to come in the game! But I'll be able to give you more details when I get to 3.0

yeah avvar has managed to balance his assholery with charm so I don't want to see him unhappy (unlike most NTR protagonists) and if this were a real life situation I'd say avvar and morgane should break up (and get together with anna and elaine respectively, who seem to have more compatible views on monogamy) but because it's a fictional situation I want to see them stay together for a conflicted, compelling and really hot relationship to observe

I also appreciate that unlike most ntr ladies morgane is not having a waning attraction or affection to him, she still really seems to love him and is satisfied by him, she just seems to be learning that she may just be incapable of monogamy - possibly awakened by how avvar sexualised her for the modeling agency

 

[Killerboy223]

i feel like in this update she 100% gave her ass up after concert lol good shit dev this update was some story builder.

 

[zeerin]

possibly awakened by how avvar sexualised her for the modeling agency

Morgane was a slut even before the "modeling" agency lmao

 

[Oppai_King]

I just want to make sure im not missing anything for the update so theres only the dipcord messages right? no new job events?

 

[N7Shepard]

If we were going to see Thomas again it feels like the anime convention would be the place to do it but I think Archipote has already said we won't be seeing him again for a while it at all.
I am really looking forward to seeing how the convention works out since the MC will be there with her and not on a computer. I think one of the main draws for me to this game is the PC setting but I don't think stepping out of that occasionally would be to bad.

Yep, if you're not sure of what's new you can check the changelogs here !

"But I'm asking her to do a lot worse at work. She can no longer distinguish between what is permitted and what is not"
