I'm not sure if you're asking if I need to as in, "Will you add sharing content in the future," or, "I'd rather you didn't add sharing content in the future."

Personally, I think the idea of pimping one or several girls out is a lot of fun, so it's something that I'd like to see in the game sooner or later. But, it's probably a few chapters away, since I'm still setting up the foundation of the story. Plus, it'll always be an optional choice.

I think people will be happy with the art in the new chapter. After listening to feedback, I tried to keep the facial expressions a little more realistic and subdued, and I'm barely reusing any art. Conversation scenes may default back to a standard frame, every now and then, but I don't think I reuse any art during the sex scenes.

I love how much energy you are putting into this game. I know it's early stage and you are feeling it, but I hope you don't suffer the curse of what seems to happen to 90% of devs on here. Ghosting, atrophy, boredom or whathave you, I hope you continue to be inspired making this game. Good Luck!

Thank you!

Honestly, I've always been a visual storyteller, and that's my passion. I did self-published comics for years (and still do here and there) but could never really get my stuff to catch on. So, it's been immensely gratifying to have so many people respond to my work on FiN - be it positively or negatively. There's really nothing worse than trying to create things in a void!

I'm really looking forward to sharing more of the story with people. I think Chapter Two will give people a better idea of where things are going, and what I'm capable of.

That tells me what the dominant content will be in the future (1 vanilla scene with LI versus 10 scenes of sharing the same LI)
Vanilla players won't be getting crumbs will they?

Honestly, I'm trying to keep it pretty balanced. I mentioned it downthread somewhere, but I'm basically writing the "good" path first, and then writing the "bad" path so the good one doesn't feel like an afterthought.

Now, that said - being bad is sometimes more immediately gratifying, but may result in less enjoyable content down the line.

I don't want to punish or reward anyone based on their playstyle. And I'm going to try to avoid tilting any content one way or another, in each update. If there's a "bad" action with a girl, my plan is to have a "good"action to counterbalance it, unless it just doesn't make sense for the story at that point.

You know how sometimes a movie poster will have people on it who aren’t introduced in the first twenty minutes of the movie?

The content currently on my Patreon (at the low-low price of just $5) introduces two new characters, and lets you sleep with one of them.

When the full chapter is out (any day now) it’ll have introduced five new characters, and let you have sexual interactions with two.

At the end of the dark path scene, the MC says let's look at the consequences of our actions. The last frame, except for makeup, there are no consequences. It's a shame the MC tried so hard, he had a lot of options.

I'm not criticizing your game, I liked it, it's an interesting start. This is friendly advice, finish the scenes, do not be lazy to add 5-6 frames. Good luck with your work.

If I'm remembering correctly, MC says something like, "I want to see my handiwork," and it's referring to her pussy after she got a rough fucking. That scene isn't meant to be entirely degrading, since it's on the "lighter" dark path, where Nicki's pissed at you, but not traumatized.

If you use the patch and play the darkest path, the MC goes a few steps further, writing some degrading things on her with a Sharpie before taking the photo.

The image count for the next Chapter is already over 700, making it several times larger than the first Chapter, so no worries there. I think people will be happy with the result.

Have you played it yet?

20k for a whore... super expensive.

Have you played it yet? Make sure you have the patch installed for all routes to be accessible.

But, basically there's a pure/love route, a financial domination route that can be either nice or mean, and the dark route where you're basically an asshole.

just finished. think i play the route of financial domination that i switch from nice to mean half way

How do you get the spanking scenes?

Right now there's just a brief scene where you're having sex with Nicki, and get the option of slapping her ass. It's easy to miss.

There will be more dedicated spanking scenes in future updates, focusing on the punishment/foreplay aspect of it.

In other news, Chapter Two should be available to $5+ patrons by tomorrow afternoon. I'm currently plugging in images and bug-testing the various routes, while I wait for the remaining images to render. I think people will dig this one! Three naughty scenes with various ways to play, various cumshot options during two of the big sex scenes (always a must, for me), teasers for future characters and storylines, and over 900 new images. It's going to be a big beast of an update, with lots of ways to play.

Speaking of big b(r)easts.. I'm more of an ass man, but I'm starting to come around..
