A lot of things you say here are just wrong and have been explained multiple times already. ('wasn't planned' 'wasn't foreshadowed', etc.). And doesn't even make sense; 'plot structure error'? What? How? Explain. :unsure:

Honestly, it's a little odd that someone criticizes an 'unexpected plot development.' That's a good thing. It means something surprised you. Is it really that strange that a small-time sex/drug trafficker makes his debut as the antagonist in a VN like this?

Sometimes reading these comments, my shoulders just can't shrug any higher. :p
Let me give you an example:
Imagine you're watching a traditionalist film and, suddenly, halfway through the film, without any foreshadowing, all the characters in the film turn out to be aliens. Can you like that? Yes, of course. Taste is a personal and subjective thing (since it depends on the subject). However, objectively (since it depends on the object), that's a mistake in the narrative structure. Why? Well, because the plot needs to be coherent, and if you haven't foreshadowed that this could happen in the first act, it doesn't make any sense for it to happen in the second.
Truly, surprising people like that is cheap and very low-level. Bad Hollywood movies tend to do that. Why? Because most people don't give a shit. And that's fine. If it's fun, it's fine. But if someone points at you and says, "Hey, that's a script flaw," then they're also right. Does that mean you have to stop liking the movie? No, of course. But if you tell me that script is well-made, I'm going to laugh at you. And rightly so.

But we have no idea about the script yet. Neon is adding another section between 1 and 2 and has been going back and making tweaks to the story since he finished the revised chapter 1. So we haven't actually read the script that everyone is complaining about. Also the people who keep coming back, proclaiming the game dead and "quitting" (especially the ones who do it multiple times) are just trolls, not critics.

I'm totally rage quitting because I saw the word remake, and I'm never playing this game again - not for the whole rest of today, but I'll definitely be back to rage quit again in a week or so. I mean if this game is so good then why don't I, as a person who is not paying for it or working on it, have complete creative control?!?

Sneak Peek of the Week! 5/24/25

Hey, friends! Hope all's well with you this week. I've been a little mentally frazzled, but hanging in there! :D

In the next few days I should be wrapping up my little additions to Chapter 2, and getting all the images integrated into the script. I've got a little work to do yet, but it's almost there. Folks who are subbed at the $15 level will get the first peek at the new material, and then I'll decide how to roll out the subsequent Chapters 1-10 release. Part of my brain is saying, "Just wait and put it all out with Chapter 11," while the other part's saying to drop it in June, so people have a chance to get all their saves updated ahead of its release. I dunno! I'm open to suggestions.Otherwise, not much to report now! Still planning to start in on Chapter 11's rendering on June 1st, with the goal of releasing it in late July. As always, plans are subject to change, and things tend to take a little longer than I'd like. But, that's the goal at present.

I'm attaching a few saucy little bonus images to this post. Two of Sapphire, just because I bought a new costume and wanted to play with it. And two of Risa and Carolina, which I did at the request of a longtime supporter. Every now and then I think about opening up a new tier for image commissions, but I've never done it for fear of it taking too much time away from my work on the game. But, if you hit me up on Discord and ask nicely, I'm usually happy to do a little something, time permitting.

Alright, that's it for today! I'll leave you with your sneak peek at the script ahead, but as always take care of yourselves, and thank you for your support!

I would prefer releasing chapters 1-10 in june and let people play again (and check the new renders) while we wait for chapter 11 in july.
But as always, do what you feel is better Neon. :)

Hey, hey folks! Hope everyone's doing alright this week!

Jumping right into it, I've basically wrapped up all the connective tissue stuff I wanted to do between the new Chapter 1 and Chapter 2, and I'll be working on getting the last bit finished off, before putting it all into the script files. I wound up with nearly 300 images for it, making it a pretty nice little chunk of content. Supporters at the $15 tier will get access to that as soon as it's done, before month's end. At some point in June, I plan to put out the unified Chapters 1-10. Not sure when that'll land exactly, but I'd guess near the end of June.

But, with this new stuff almost finished up, I'll be switching gears back to working on Chapter 11 in early June. At long last, we return to the present. I'll pause for applause.

*dodges tomato*

In miscellaneous news, I had a longtime supporter reach out to bring this new to my attention. The main character in the video reminded them of Gabby, and they thought it'd be cool to see her in a similar cyberpunk outfit.

So, I gave it a go! While I was doing that, I also did a lil' Viola piece in a new maid outfit that I picked up on sale from the Daz store. This weekend I'll post the spicy versions (and a few more pose/clothing variations) for Wanton Weekends.

Finally, a little something different, which I've talked about a bit on Discord over the past few months. As some people can probably guess, I'm a big fan of the fantasy genre, having grown up as a D&D kid. For most of my life I ravenously consumed fantasy novels, and I always had the itch to write one. So, last year I decided to do it! Recently I gave some supporters the chance to read the first nine chapters, and--assured it wasn't hot garbage-- I decided to move ahead with finishing the edits and publishing it.

My plan--once I've actually settled on a title, commissioned some cover art, and edited the whole thing into a solid, cohesive whole--is to distribute it chapter-by-chapter here, while simultaneously making the book available for purchase.

But for now, if you're interested, you can snag the prologue here in or . At its heart it's a story about damaged people finding each other, and healing from their trauma. And along the way? Some very spicy scenes with full penetration and money-shots.

What? You thought I wasn't going to make it smutty?! :D

That's it for this week! As always, take care of yourselves and thank you for your support!

I am excited for the unified full season 1 to drop in June. Haven't played chapter 1 remake yet, and then we have this extra content too being added to bridge the chapters.

From the sounds of it the one addition I wanted where we could select multiple options at end of ch.7 Ashe date won't make it in after all from what I seen in dev logs. Understandable but a little disappointing, cause I had my heart on wanting that, but it is what it is.

Overall, just really excited to set up multiple saves and play this masterful game from start to finish again.

I really hope this sells a lot of copies when it launches on steam. NG works hard and his fans love him, but if it really takes off it could bring the game to an even wider audience and that is a good thing.

The writing is one of the game's strongest points, so I think that will translate well to steam. I know I'll do my part by buying and writing a good review for this masterpiece.

I hope so too, I'm just a little worried it might be attacked by the "moral arbiters" because of its dark path, like what happened to No Mercy.

the dev of that game wanted to make it longer , so it does say it found a big playerbase , dark games are very niche , but they do have a very loyal fans , and seen dev's still make profit while being banned from here (f95zone) , and patreon , let alone be in steam...but then again , we do have 2 versions Friends Indeed can be considered fine for steam.
