Dev Update! 5/20/24
Hey, friends! Hope you're all doing well this week!
First, let's get the big question out of the way: when's Chapter 9 coming? Well, I'm happy to say that patron-only builds will begin going out this week, and I'm planning for the public release to fall on the 31st. I'd planned to already have the first builds out, but then I went and got Covid, and it put me on my ass for a few days. So, I've been trying to make up for lost time.
At present, I need to do a long day or two of rendering, and then I'll be able to push the update out the door. Thanks for your patience, thus far!
With Chapter 9 complete, I'll be moving right into Chapter 10, which will feature content for Mason, Gabby, Madison, and Viola. I've already got a few sections of the script complete, and I'm hoping I can finish the rest of it, before the month's over. That's a rosy projection, but I live in hope.
I'm going to dispense with my usual long-winded post, because I'm still suffering from some exhaustion after my bout with illness. I'd rather save my energy for writing the important stuff! (Read: Smut!)
But, I'll be very happy to get this next update into everyone's hands. Until then, take care of yourselves, and thank you for your support!

I do love villains with depth. But, I also enjoy a pretty all-around detestable bad guy from time to time too. After all, there really are some fucked up people out there with zero redeeming qualities, or at least people who do such terrible things that are incapable of being redeemed. Lucien might be that guy, whereas Brent & Jamie & even that dude who paid for Nicki's tats can just be more complicated assholes. I'm wondering if Lucien is connected to the shady men who tried to force Nicki to do a porno. Or even Brent's "lenders". Might even be connected to one or more of those "old money" types that Neon mentioned and that we'll be visiting sometime in the future.


Unless there's a person behind Lucien who has more money and more connections Have to keep in mind that Guy is just a rando who won a huge lottery and is smart enough to build off of it. Affecting court outcomes, I'm not sure that's remotely in his cards..

Lucien is barelly above street dealer tier, nobody is gonna waste their connections to save him.
The game takes place in the US not in Mexico

Depends on what he knows, maybe? I dunno, I don't have any wherewithal when it comes to this stuff. Even if they didn't protect Lucien or decided to whack him because he knows too much or w/e, I'm sure MC would still get on the radar of people he really doesn't want to get on the radar of..

My personal favorite outcome would be for MC & everyone involved (Risa, etc.) to just get out of their bad situations. You don't really need big grand "and then MC uses his connections to send the bad guys to prison" kinda stuff. I mean, it'll be good I'm sure if that's what Neon is planning. But you don't need it, imo.

How do I get the sex scene with Ashe on the couch from the 7/23 Wanton Weekends?

I havent played the newest update yet (and like you said its all up too what neon is planning) but I agree that Lucien is pretty low tier, Yes we see him selling to "high class" people (as opposed to slinging crack on the corner) but HE is still the one selling them to the end user (Risa). sure he could be doing that because he wants to fuck Risa in particular but either way it doesnt scream "valuable person to the drug game" and Like ragnar said this doesnt take place in Mexico or any country with similar cartel presence.

But porn game logic could say "Lucien owed his dealer a bunch of money and by guy making him unable to pay Big dealer says guy owes money"

so the sister will spawn for 2030 or something? at least give us more of the waitress, the bimbo influencer, the on danger clothes seller, and the milf of of the museum worker, but is like 20 side chars atm so ...

The sister has already spawned but she is stuck in the lobby until NG determines a good time to insert her into the story. Dollars to donuts she is going to apparate as a result of seeing him on that stream, so we need not wait too long. You are pretty on the nose about how long the line is, though.

Honestly I don't care about the sister anymore at this point, since we been waiting forever to the point ive lost interest in her. I don't fault NG for a long wait as I do think he should insert her when it makes sense. It's just with all these other characters getting development gonna be hard for me to really care for someone coming late to the game. Would of been nice if we got a phone call with her or something at least tho so we can get some small development with her while we do wait. So it's just gonna be whatever to me when it does happen. I get a feeling she is going to be the Cliffhanger ending for what Neon considers "Season 1"

 

[Joshy92]

I think Cassie arriving will be a cliffhanger in whichever update she first appears.

The start of the following chapter had better include an option to immediately throw her up against a wall and fuck her brains out. "I've been waiting years for this! Take my giant mancock you little tease!!!"

I hope not that would be way to quick at that point she might as well be a side fuck not a character that will get character development down the road. It would probably ruin her character in my eyes. Now if we got some development beforehand maybe. Tho i am of the mindset any incest characters needs more character development than other LI to make having sex with your sibling make a little bit of sense.

 

[Simpgor]

Turns out Cassie got pulled over by the pateron police on the way over.... she will no longer be part of the story

lmfao that would be a funny concept to implement in an AVN make a sister pretend she will be a LI have the pateron police to show up anytime the player tries to do something sexual with her. Sure it will piss players but fuck it id 100% do it if I would make a AVN but im not good enough to make one.

It's half joke half serious sadly. Realistically they have cracked down on incest and that could very easily (and rightly) put NG off putting her in. Even if she has the BEST written storyline in the game he's still putting his game on the line the second she joins the sexy times.

Look, you can still have all that wonderful extended romance or corruption with the hot little lesbian sister. I'm not saying Cassie being immediately fucked senseless has to be the only option. It'll also most likely lead to Guy being dragged into a police car yelling "I don't care. Totally worth it!".

 

[Joshy92]

Since we are talking about Cassie I'll give my thoughts on her. I think she'll be one of those mean girl characters who starts out being mean but opens up more once she gets to know me. Then everyone will see she is actually a sweetheart.

I think you might be right a bit but I don't think she will 100% be a mean girl like some others ive seen in games. I think she is going to be something more a mix or the middle of sweet and mean until she forgives Guy for leaving her with their mother. If I recall correctly that is the reason she hates him.

Honestly I forgot all about the dark path in this game so yeah that would be perfect for a dark path player. I tend to think of thinks more towards the romance side of things lol

Not sure if this would work I think maybe he could only include it in the SS version of the game. ( no patch) Correct me if i'm wrong but the pateron version is either the vanilla version where the patch won't work or just a version where you need to manually put the patch to enable it I forget. so I think if he would make it so there is no longer a patch needed but you have to get it from SS could maybe be a work around im not sure. I don't pay to much attention to the working of pateron when it comes to banning games other than incest and rape are on their hit list.

Josh posting about girl..... probably gonna say she's sweet af..... oh wait what mean?!!!?! Oh no there is it at the end

I think Neon could take her a multitude of ways, especially given the gap between her "introduction" and her coming into thr story you could easily say "xyz happened to her and now she feels xyz way about guy"

If we are just pure spitballing I think it'd be interesting to have her be the most "reflective/reactionary" to how "taboo/dark Guy is" that totally wouldn't add hundreds upon hundreds of renders/lines of dialog right?

I am also not 100% well versed on the topic but I believe people have gotten in trouble when the only incest/"bad" content was via an "unofficial patch"

yeah that's why I was thinking maybe if he got rid of the patch entirely and made it so only SS gets that content could be a workaround not sure tho

I don't think even that means it's save.

If I remember right the patches were hosted on places other than pateron (here?) And still got hit but since I'm not 100% I rather not spread needed F.U.D.
