Anyways, now to something actually on-topic. I am so looking forward to the Mason content next update... what a cruel spot to end the last update! You can't rush excellence though, so I'm eagerly waiting for it to come. Also I really really can't wait for Lucien to get his comeuppance. That piece of shit deserves all the bad shit coming his way. However, gotta deal with Brent first... will be interesting to see how the opening scene of the next update will play out.

Dude I'm over here thinking constantly about Mason lol. I can't wait to see what happens with him this update.

I have finally decided by the way that I love Mason more than Nicki. I'm even thinking of changing my pfp to a
Picture of Mason. Also this game is the biggest reason I still come here tbh it's just so awesome.

Mason being cute. Hope you can deliver on that release window but if you can't no worries too. I will have Star Wars Outlaws to enjoy over september. :p
Thank you! Sometimes I need to hear that I don't have to kill myself to get an update out. Still, I feel pretty good about an August release, as things stand now.

Hey GetOutOfMyLab I didn't want to go off topic and be told of lol but this is the game my pfp comes from. I wanted to show my love for my favourute character, so I have changed it at least for now although I'm still deciding on which picture to use.

I don't know why, but I don't like it. Not that I don't adore Mason but it just doesn't look right. It's like you lost a bet or something. You need the Fry picture back pronto. If not that, at least pick the Mason pic with the kitty ears.

I am actually thinking of changing back because it feels weird but I really want everyone to know how much I love this game and Mason in particular.

Yep. Some people take for granted all the "behind the scenes" work required to develop a game. Plus the fact most daz assets are expensive unless when being on sales.
Anyway i appreciate the hard work Neon. :p

In a word, yes.

The patched game might get a little uncomfortable if you take those options (though they are all avoidable), I worry the story will have trouble balancing the stakes with the large LI roster down the line, and I wish the MC was a little more of a blank slate at times. But those aren't fatal flaws, and overall it's a very high quality game. In particular the dialog is excellent, the main cast is very engaging, and the core idea of exploring how the MC chooses to use his newfound wealth is a powerful one.

IMHO this game is certainly worth playing.

Of course it's misused. The two are completely different from each other.

That aside, every single VN (inc this one) treats trans as a fetish. Tell me one VN with an actual trans character that has had bottom surgery? There isn't one to my knowledge...because...no dev is probably capable of actually writing an interseting story about a character like that because, well, they are just the sex they are, so no different to any other character of the same sex.

However, add a cock and tits to the equation...becomes a fetish in a VN. This is actually refreshing for having a female to male character, even if still treated really as the typical VN fetish. I long for the day of a VN with an actual proper legal trans (full transition) character. However, the whole discussion leads to other questions and debates which are definitely better away from this forum.
Kind of hard to escape fetishes when it's a porn game really. That plus every dev probably bases their characters around what they themselves are into or at least not turned off by. And fact is most guys that wanna see pussy are looking for women women or pre-op trans men, not post-op trans women, whereas most guys who want to see cock are looking for pre-op trans women or other men, not post-op trans men.

Also, I think most trans people don't get bottom surgery? So, in that regard, it's pretty representative or w/e.

But I do think it would be interesting to see a fully transitioned character from a writing pov, just don't see many players being into them from a LI perspective. I don't know, maybe I'm off there, just a hunch. And that potentially eats into the dev's income, not to mention sanity from the bitching, so unless they're fully committed to that character, it just isn't going to happen is how I figure it.

Anyways, back on-topic, that was one reason why I was hoping for a trans woman character because most of the games that have them just have bleh writing. I don't really see fetishization as a problem, but it does usually make the writing worse. It would've been nice to see a well-written one for once. But alas, it isn't to be. At least there's Mason, next best thing in that regard, for me anyways. I could see Neon having at least a scene or two where Mason dawns a strap-on or prosthetic or something for some gay play. Not to fuck the MC lol, but just to go with the whole "I'm a man" thing, especially during anal scenes.

That wouldn't be a hot or fun scene for me. I love Mason the way he is. Without a penis/strap-on.
