Great VN. I can agree that Hana's path being the fastest one looks a little off because she looks like a shy girl who already likes Ollie, but that's okay.
The scene with the test results is good, it made me smile.


I just hope you don't bite off more than you can chew.

I have a technical question. Can this be fixed?
Or is this a downside of using Koikatsu?

It's one of the downsides of using koikatsu. It's usually possible to fix it using kkpe. Just gets a little bit tricky sometimes in a scene, and a lot more so in an animation.
If kkpe doesn't work, there's a list of other items or features you'll have to remove from your scene to fix anything similar to this.

Geez, the sex dialogue in the NTR path was weirdly mean, and kinda cliche. Like, it felt like it would be more in place on the rapist path, just way over the top degrading shit outta nowhere, especially since they're actually supposed to like each other at that point. But yeah, I'd tone down the 'ZOMG FUTA COCKSLEEVE GUOOOH' stuff a bit, it gets boring pretty quickly, especially if you're planning on going that route with more than one character. Good sex convos make good games.

I kinda get you... There's a lot of porn with that kind of dialogue. Kinda hoping theres another more interesting path. Ntr and depravity seems like its just being a PoS.. but so far in this game its more like consent for ntr and non-consent for depravity :LOL:

I enjoyed the NTR path, and it's cool this release had a showing of the depravity path, but tbh i kinda expected the update to be a bit more than "15 secs of reading intermission"... sad tbh

I appreciate the detailed feedback.
I was going for something very different with the depravity path but I remade it. Twice actually. I felt it's too early to make anything too outrageous but I'll hold off on that talk till the current one is over.

And just a heads up, it'd be great if we could let the current depravity path unfold before slapping any labels on the paths. This game does have bad endings and certain choices can throw a curveball at relationships.
Also, not every girl is getting her own branching path, that would be a disaster just waiting to happen. For important choices, you'll usually receive a heads up on the top left corner of the screen.
However, there will also be choices that let you dip your toes into different scenarios, like Nadya's choice in the previous version. It was an optional lewd scene that had no major impact on the game. Just a change in dialogue and a shift in attitude towards the protagonist.
I sought out this thread just to say that I really enjoyed the depravity path. When I first tried the game, I thought I was going to be more invested in the NTR-path, thinking that might be the darker of the two. But obviously I was wrong and I enjoyed the depravity path even more. Which kind of makes sense when I think about it. I mean, if something is going to be depraved compared to corrupting and stealing Hana under the nose of Ollie, it kind of has to be darker than just seducing/corrupting her.

And since there are complaints being lodged against the depravity path in this thread, let me say that I do not at all agree that the two paths are similar. In one, Millie seduces/corrupts Hana. In the other, she rapes her. That is really, really, not at all the same thing, even if both includes Millie fucking Hana and ends with Hana being infatuated with Millie (also the irony of first complaining about the paths being similar and then complaining that the depravity path has these rape tendencies that the NTR path doesn't have and finally suggesting that both paths should be about Millie seducing a willing Hana NTR-style...).

I also want to adress the fears that the different paths would be too much work: As long as you do as you have done so far, meaning most of the story is the same, the different paths only change certain things (mainly regarding the sex and how Millie gets there), I think it should be doable. That's the smart approach to pathing, just differentiate some things, while letting the main story be more or less the same (also, there can be instances where branching paths merge again). It's well worth noting that a common complaint on this site is the lack of meaningfull choices. For there to be meaningfull choices, choices have to have some sort of impact on the unfolding story. Otherwise they are pointless and the game might as well be remade as a virtual novel instead.

So, in conlusion, keep up the great work, it is very much appreciated!

That was a surprisingly short update, but understandable if things are being coded/reworked.
Not when considered that the time between this update and the one before was basically one month. Many games have updates with much more content, but then the development time is also usually much longer, like 6 - 12 months or something like that.

Your save probably continued the NTR path, which received no update during the last version. In the last version, the depravity path was updated, but the NTR path continued straight to the evening events.

So, I don't know anything about how to use Ren'Py for making and editing games (I'm more used to RPGM VX Ace). So if I were to want to change dialogs and stuff like that, how would I do it?

How does this not have an NTR tag
Because on this forum you only have the netorare tag(when someone steals the mc's girl) and in this game what you have is netori(when the mc steal other guys' girls) and there isn't a netori tag on this forum.

Yes there is - it's the 'cheating' tag.

EDIT: There's no cheating in the game yet, so I suppose it is slightly different - Hana and the nerd weren't dating, after all. But broadly, when it's not the protagonist being cheated on (or 'stolen' from) it's the cheating tag.

Technically it's BSS (Boku ga Saki ni Suki datta no ni) which more or less means "even though I loved her first". Kinda like NTR, except the victim is even more wretched and pathetic because he couldn't even get the girl who got stolen from him.

???

IIRC the only girl you fuck in the game thus far is your little brother's girlfriend, she is sorta dating him (hanging out just the two of them alone), and is explicitly saving her virginity for him (if you rape her).
He is being a bit clueless and is boring her with video games when she wants to go do something romantic.

It is absolutely netori and not BSS

On the NTR path it's pretty clear that nothing's happened between her and Ollie. Sure they like each other, that's clear from both of them but neither of them has made a move, not even kissing. That's BSS, Ollie liked her first but he did nothing to make her his, he just expected it to magically happen out of nowhere, and same thing from Hana's side too.
