This guy faps hard

Hah, yeah, that's pretty hot. It reminds me of that prostitute character during the bank heist scene in "Once Upon a Time in New York". She rape-baited one of the robbers... or at least it seemed like she did, maybe she was in on it the whole time and it was planned to make it more convincing... that whole movie was a little hard to follow for me, hah. But, god damn, that was one of the hottest scenes I've seen in a movie... it'd be interesting to have a character for evil MC that actually WANTS to be abused... or wants to take part it in abusing other women with MC... it'd be a thin line to make her feel compelling and real without feeling ridiculous or over-the-top I guess, but it'd be neat

Mistakes were made

Damn man, that's unfortunate haha. But glad you got to the bottom of it! Guess I will need to replay again just to make sure I got correct dialogue Which isn't a problem, should be only like 5-10 mins with skipping. BTW, I cheated on one of my saves and set my Gabby rel and hpoints higher just to see what her shopping scene was like and... just wanted to say you wrote it really, really well Will definitely replay the game multiple times to see all the differences.

I do really, really wish I could get off on CG love content as well so I could relive the orgasms again, but it does absolutely nothing for me except give me the feels... well, maybe "Light of my Life" is an exception, but getting through all the build-up can be a huuuuge undertaking But I will make an exception with you (and "Banking on Bella") because the writing is good enough even if I might not be able to fap to it However, I will say that the idea of writing love content rather than playing it is way more appealing to me. I bet it's very fun writing multiple diverse paths with lots of variation on kinks and atmosphere... even though it's really hard to juggle it all!

Interestingly, "love" porn videos with good acting can sometimes do it for me, though.... if she's got that certain innocent face and voice... and RL normal sex does it for me just fine as well. But CG is just completely different for me, hm..

Anyways, thx for listening to my diary confessions... much catharsis. Does anyone else here feel a tad guilty that only hardcore shit does it for them? Sometimes I wonder if I'm weird haha.

I tried to find the movie you mentioned "Once Upon a Time in New York", but i can't find it anywhere, you sure about the name?

 

[Edd21]

I hope the dev continues to keep the dark path realistic instead of having the girls like it in the end. Too many games have it where the girls are reluctant at first and then enjoy it later. If I wanted the girls to like it I would be playing a different path...

 

[NewTricks]

I think he is referring to Sergio Leone's "Once Upon a Time in America" starring Robert DeNiro

lmao, my bad. What the other guy said; I meant "Once Upon a Time in America". The actress was Tuesday Weld if you want to try to find that specific scene... "Tuesday Weld Once Upon a Time in America bank heist" and maybe you'll find it. There was one other rape scene in the movie, except it was an actual rape rather than a roleplayed one.. it involved a different character and was much sadder and more fucked up... but considering the paths we're playing, someone might find it a little arousing knowing it isn't real... if you're into that sort of thing lol. It's a really long (3h49m..) and pretty fucking weird movie, but still worth watching if you're curious. Pretty sure its name inspired the title of "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood"; Tarantino's a big fan of the director.

I watched it now, the first scene you mention was interesting, but the second not so much. The only rape fantasies I have involve the rapist using the victim for pleasure and preferably the victim liking it against her will or actual concentual rapeplay. The violent once where the rapist is trying to hurt the victim or worse are a huge turn off for me, so I seldom find stuff that I like.
And I agree fucking weird movie

Hey, hey! Just wanted to make everyone aware

You must be registered to see the links

, exclusive to $15+ patrons. This is part of my continuing effort to add extra value to the Patreon tiers. It's basically just the prologue, featuring lots of Nicki action, the introduction of a new character, and a little appearance by Carolina. Three sex scenes, one of which has a few variations. But, it also features a text-only continuation of the chapter, which runs through roughly the middle of the update. That includes appearances by Pepper, Ashe, and Brittani. That's still a bit of a work in progress, requiring some dialogue polishing, but it's fully playable.

Also, I switched over to the new optional Patreon billing plan, where your pledge stays active for a full month before re-billing. No more, "I signed up on the 27th and then got re-billed on the 1st," nonsense.

My plan at present is to have something out in November.. I don't know if I'll be able to complete the full chapter, but I'd at least like to have a version that runs through the mid-point of the chapter, ending with Brittani's scene. That'll make a nice little intermission, and I can roll it out to patrons and the public.

for Friends in Need! In the spirit of the holiday, it's free to everyone.

Fair warning! It's not a full update! It's just a few minutes of content, with 50~ images. But, it provides a bridge into Chapter 4, gives you a little naughty Halloween fun, and hints at some future content.

I completed the entire thing in a day (read the Patreon post so you can understand my madness) so it's a little rough. But, check it out and let me know what you think!

 

[goulet1995]

do you plan to have any lesbian stuff in the game and if so will it be avoidable?

Nice. Will try to check it out later this week.

 

[NeonGhosts]

Yes and yes, depending on what you mean by 'avoidable.' I intend to treat lesbian scenes as basically the same as any 'sharing' scenes. Meaning you won't be forced to view it/participate in it.

That said, if a character is gay/bisexual, then they'll still be gay/bi, and refusing to have threesomes or other potential interactions based in lesbian sex, may limit the amount of content you see with them.

so just to clarify if you dont take part they will still do it without involvment of mc if so thats unfortunate was enjoying the game alot but that is 100% a deal breaker for me

It's very short but it was a cool way to work Halloween content into the main story. That second picture of Brittani

I'm not familiar with Ashe's character and she's first and I speed read so I didn't even realize she was in a costume until I went back to re-read since her outfit doesn't look out of place at a formal museum function.

I know you put them alphabetical but I think having Madison's before Gabby's would work better given the content.

My last thought is that I was a little put-off by the introduction phone call with Mr. Price because it felt very sleazy for the "light" path. I guess you already know how the Brittani photo shoot is going to go but I'm definitely curious how that's going to play out on the light path.

Overall, really enjoyed, keep up the good work, hope you get some rest.

If your objection is to NTR-esque scenarios, I wouldn't worry too much. I plan to treat it much as I would a straight relationship (see: Gabby/Jamies, Madison/Ryan) where it might be talked about, but you won't have to watch your love interest have sex with someone else. If the objection is more to the idea that a character is gay/interested in women, then yeah, it may not be to your tastes.

My goal is to represent a broad spectrum of romantic scenarios in this game, and part of that is the potential of meeting girls that may be attracted to other girls.

It's part of the main game.

Hey, glad you liked it (mostly)!

I was really happy with that Brittani pic - and not just the sexy bits! Rendering an effective crowd can be a real challenge due to hardware limits, so finding ways to make four characters look like a bustling crowd was a fun exercise.

With Ashe's images, I did want it to look kind of like an adult Halloween party, so everyone's in pretty restrained costumes. I figured Ashe is the type who'd be really into a movie like The Craft, so she just threw together a "witch" costume using stuff she already had in her closet.

I did consider that order, with Gabby's costume. But, I also think it kind of works seeing the 'after,' image, followed by the 'before.' Almost feels more perverse in a way?

I agree about the dialogue, actually. I'd like to take another pass over the entire mini-update, before Chapter Four launches. Being limited by time, I wasn't able to do a lot of dialogue/expression variations, so I tried to keep it all kind of neutral. So, in that phone call scene in particular, I just wanted it to seem like the MC was just glad-handing a fellow rich guy and telling him what he wanted to hear, irrespective of alignment. So, the version of him we're seeing there is a little darker than he is when he's a nice guy, and a little nicer than he is when he's a jerk.

I'm going to take a day and flesh it out a little more, adding more photos to the 'research' section, and making the dialogue more reactive based on on your relationships to the girls, as well as your personal alignment. Thanks for playing!

(And I'm definitely going to be taking a good long nap, tomorrow.)

the main reason is i find lesbian sex boring tbh but the ntr-esque also plays apart i have played games in past where its something similar an often is a scenario where i like 1 girl but but dont pursue the other and just makes it seem weird or borderline as you said ntr-esque now if stuff only happens if you are pursueing both i would probably be ok withthat if it is still primarily focused around the mc. as to the Gabby/Jamies, Madison/Ryan comparison i always assumed that as they eventually leave them for mc/ some kind of mc cucks them route maybe i was wrong on that. Either way i will likely still play game until something happens i dont like and im glad i atleast know that something like that may come up.

Took today to add a little more content to the Halloween Special - it'll now react to player decisions more intelligently, with MC/Guy commenting on the girls in a way reflective of his relationship with them. Also added some renders for Carolina, Madison, and Viola, and expanded the ending to feature more of a proper mini-chapter ending. I'm going to give it (with some more Chapter 4 content) to $15+ patrons tomorrow, and then re-release the Halloween teaser on Saturday to the public.

In Chapter 4 news, I'm making good progress on Pepper's scene, adding 25 images in the last few hours. Moving right along!

Doing that Halloween short taught me a lot about optimizing and streamlining my workflow, and it's making my current scenes kind of a breeze. Also - I tried something with the Halloween special where I dialed back my narration a bit, and I think it works better.. Less filler dialogue, and more letting the art and dialogue speak for itself. That doesn't mean no narration, just being a little more choosy about where I put it.

Anyhoodles, here's a little art I did today. I'm well on pace for a November release, but it remains to be seen what that release will look like. At present, I can confidently say it'll at least have Pepper's appearance, Brittani's photoshoot, and Ashe's re-introduction, along with a few other, smaller scenes. If I can get my full plans for the chapter done? Awesome! If not, it'll probably be a smaller (800ish renders) chapter.

I never liked how the other women go into purgatory when the MC is not around, so no other dicks or clits could touch them
