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

[archipote]

Another opinion noone cares about:
Found this game recently. First chapter was a blast, really funny characters and their interactions in notdiscord and work minigame. And then second chapter just... don't feel it, idk. Work became much less fun for the sake of few CG, MC feels much softer (and yes, making timeskip instead of showing actual progression is understandable due to format of the game but still cheap move writing-wise) and feels like he have less presense overall - two VN segments I got feels like he is fifth wheel here, idk. Dissapointed. I don't even finished chapter 2 (or reach the end of the update, don't know is it completed yet), just went a bit further after bet between Avar and Elaine but bored already. And about h-content - game isn't even feels like h-game, first chapter heavily carried by characters but in second, where characters interactions became more flat, lack of h-content feels like a big disadvantage. I mean, I have much less fun reading chats in notdiscord but have just a few CG instead, don't feel like this exchange worth it. Oh, and one more thing - first chapter was good comedy, but second maybe trying to be more serious and fall, because seriously speaking - I am feeling bad for Elaine, who is the most sane character here and she deserves better than all this.

I care about it! All feedback is very important, so thank you for taking the time to point out what you did and didn't like in detail.
Personally, if I had to give my opinion, I prefer the pace of chapter 2, but the mini-game really lacked his fun. This is something I hope to rectify with chapter 3, as I've already said (so as not to sound like I'm rambling for those who already read it hehe).

As for the more serious tone of chapter 2, that wasn't much the idea. I'm not saying this to try and justify myself, but simply to point out that I didn't decide "oh well, I'd like the game to become more serious as of now". For me, the game has always been serious to a certain degree, in the way that even though situations and characters can be absurd, they try to remain as credible as they can.
But comedy is still my way of conveying the story, and no changes have been decided or are planned for the rest of the game. My biggest hope his that the story and characters will make you laugh while being somewhat realistic (obviously, in a world where porn logic remains the king since it's first and foremost a porn game), as if you were living through your group of friends/family with Morgane, Anna, Elaine and Avar.

I'm not saying that's how you'll feel when you play the game, but that's the mentality I try to keep in mind with every update!

Anyway, I hope you'll give the game another go in a few updates, perhaps you'll enjoy the follow-up more my friend !

I read all of your feedbacks

How big is your hog?

I didn't understand that but when in doubt I'll say average (high)

It's true, there are not much to open and content is pretty tame, so after like 10-15 times repeating it you open all CG and then game became anoying.

Well, I misunderstood your intesion here then, but it was a feeling that I get from chapter 2. Okay, then my issues are:
1. it feels like there are less jokes/jokes are not so funny as before
2. Avar feels more passive, he acts more like observer than participant as he was in chapter 1 (changing minigame have a part in it, first one was more "immersive")
3. long setup to something actual happening, not just another notdiscord chat "wow, we did something, you know what, but we don't show anything, tee-hee)))0))000". And I don't even know how it would work in the future considering bet between Avar and Elaine, forever teasing until the end of ingame year? Well, I get meta-commentary about "Cuck game cucks (you) from the content" but I am not so big NTR enjoyer myself and such meta-cucking not my cup of tea.

I hope you'll give the game another go in a few updates, perhaps you'll enjoy the follow-up more my friend !

Well, have a few questions then, if you're accept them:
1. is game going to be linear or lust/love system from the chapter 1 will return in some way with influence on possible ending?
2. how many chapters are going to be here at all?
3. would actual h-scenes appear here or it stays as chat dialogues with some photos?

Can't say about the love/lust system, as I'm currently 100% focused on 2.5 so I haven't had a chance to dig into it. If there's a way of integrating it into the game without it taking too much away from the rest or the dev time, maybe. Otherwise, I'd rather concentrate on fine-tuning what we already have here

 

[N7Shepard]

I'm not sure about the love/lust stats coming back since that could potentially make dev time longer since if they were expanded on too much then each update would basically have to be made for both paths. And while I'd love something more interactive for the job phase in chapter 3 we've got to get 2.5 out first though before worrying about 3 so I'm content to just let archipote cook for now.

Happy holidays boys

 

[OGloc_420]

Merry Christmas archipote !

You're the only dev I support through monthly payments because what you've done so far shows great character and dedication. I also like how you are willing to listen to what people have to say while still not bending to the crowd and continue to follow your own artistic vision.

Make sure you go out and enjoy life during the holidays!

Can't say for sure yet, I'd say expect it after the new year just to avoid giving you wrong dates

I just started playing and I am a bit confused.

Does the game begin the day after the MC had sex with Morgane?

And I just had a coversation with Roberta about some darkroom activities. Now I guess she is the MC's aunt?! But in the minigame it seems unclear who she is at all. Also, she mentions the MC has at least two sisters. I only know of Anna. Have I started the game in the middle or is the beginning meant to be very vague?

IIRC, the other sister is estranged. It's been a minute, but she's never mentioned again.

The game does indeed start after having sex with Morgane (drunk sex after a New Year's party, I think). I would guess the game does this for a smoother storytelling experience through its text message framing and to not waste the players time with the character's introductions to each other and their subsequent building of relationships. They are able to get to the sexy part fast as a result.

I don't believe that Roberta is a blood relative of the MC, but is rather an "aunt" in the sense of an older woman that has known you all your life. In this case, I believe that Roberta is just a shady family friend or was a dirty worker for the MC's uncle who decided to follow the MC when he started a rival entertainment talent agency (I play the updates as they come out, so I might be misremembering something).

I didn't remember the other sister at all; I assume that some mention was brought up around the time the family gathering happened, but I only have the faintest memories of her being talked about. At the very least, she is not an active part of the story yet, and there haven't been any teasers about it.

The game tries to tell information in an organic way while confined to the P.C. interface; this limitation requires the player to piece together characters and relationships through their actions and words. The consequence of jumping into the story without any narrative guidance is that it will take some time to feel out the characters and setting.
