Hi folks!

It's been quite some time since I posted poll here, but now I'd like to hear your opinion.

The game features a lot of scenes now, and it seems this could be the time to start thinking about a 'gallery mode'. It would allow you to visually replay scenes based on the trophies collected during all playtroughs.

However, you know the drill: time, time time! Choosing to work on the gallery now means less time to work on new content for next release. So, I'd like your opinion!

Options: (Status on: 2019-12-03 17:27 Center Europe Timezone + 1-2 hours depending on the summer / winter time)

- Add a 'Gallery Mode' ( 32%)
- Keep working on Chapter 4 content (68 %)

Adding a gallery would be nice it's certainly a popular feature, but I'd prefer if chapter 4 was finished first and then maybe add the gallery.
In my opinion a gallery should be implemented already in the beginning of a game. At least for those with a more complex decision structure. And if you made it to reach a certain scene, especially when the game gets bigger and bigger, the overview of your saves for watching/playing this scene again is getting worse. Especially for this game and RPGM, Ren'py better, but far away from ideal. So for me, gallery is a must have from the beginning.

I was about the write a lengthy mail to Ms. Luddington in the hopes of gaining her interest in voicing the full game by using an alias as to not blemish her family friendly persona when I came across her twitter account. A woman with tweets that pure must be a lunatic.

I've decided to contact Mr. Jolie instead. Fingers crossed.

Exactly this. It more or less seems like I'm prepping her for some other guy's enjoyment most of the game. With no trust route, or anything similar, it's just turning her into a braindead whore, which is fine, but not when it's for someone else. Corruption is great, but not when it leans heavily towards that of NTR territory, such as sharing. Not saying NTR is a problem, it's just not my thing, and I was hoping that checking the NTR checkbox of the game to disable content would have an actual impact on her character, but it kinda doesn't. Maybe this was the original vision of the dev and making her yours was more of an afterthought.

Perhaps this is all our fault in the first place as the game is literally called "Goons Raid Her"..
What else were we supposed to expect? :unsure:

I think I'll wait for more iterations of the game to see where this goes with respects to my personal preferences.
You are looking at it from the MC's angle. View it like MC is Lara. Lara is constantly being taken advantage of and abused. The more the merrier, doesn't matter by whom. Besides then we would just continue to play the whole chapter with no action until she returns home and that would be boring.

Of course I'm looking at it from the MCs angle. That's the entire point of having an MC in the first place... He's the self-insert.

Why would I MC as Lara, and why would that make it better? I'm not really interested in whoring myself, let alone have myself pounded by other random dudes. In fact, that kinda scenario/idea would not only be worse (to me, you do you), but give me even further reason to make the comment I made. No matter whose PoV you look at it from, my point still stands. Also, I don't see why there'd be no action. That's, again, the point of having the MC.

Why you think it doesn't matter who does it is beyond strange to me.
It's like someone fucking your girlfriend and you walk in on them and say "Well, I guess I fuck her too. Same thing. Carry on."

I never chimed in previously on this recurring topic, mainly because I don't understand that whole NTR discussion, but the same way you say it, others might just as well say 'why you think it matters is beyond strange to me'.

Thing is, it all depends on how you look at it and what you expect.
Porn games on face value for some is no different to porn videos. Unless you're into masturbation scenes, or POV, if you watch someone getting f*cked in a video it will be by someone that isn't you. So if by extension you see porn games as interactive videos, you should want to see your girl getting f*cked, and by anyone and everyone most likely. Games are then only different by the fact they are virtual, drawn, people.
Porn games on face values for other are however no different to games. In that case what matters is immersion and identification. In which case no matter how virtual your partner may be, unless you're into swinging, you will not want to see them get intimate with anyone else but your personification within the game.

It all depends on why you play these games for and the experience you want from it. And no matter which case you may fall in, you can see there's always an exception and balanced reason for the opposite to still hold true anyways.
Nothing is beyond strange. Or everything is.

This reply is a bit all over the place in direction. You seem to be arguing multiple points, some of which contradict what you're saying, while others are actually in tangent and tandem with what I was saying earlier.

No, the same cannot be said, as the person I'm replying to read my previous comment and made a suggestion based on that comment. I did my best to cover my bases in that comment, which is why people agreed with me. I feel it was fair. Nobody is saying there shouldn't be NTR. What people are saying is that the NTR checkbox should have more function and are looking forward to more of Lara's love route.

"why you think it matters is beyond strange to me" is more than valid because the comment I am replying to is offering suggestions/advice to alleviate my concerns, thinking that if I look at it from x viewpoint it'll solve my issue. So, obviously, the PoV would not matter within respects to my earlier concerns, or my issue, which was what he was responding to. It would in fact, from my perspective, make it worse. Hence, why it would matter is beyond strange to me. I didn't think I needed to explain this, but here we are. I don't understand why you think I'm making a general statement that covers anyone and everyone when it's directed in a reply specifically to someone else within the context of that conversation.

I don't agree with you at all about PoV either. MCs in porn games are not often considered as an "other". The MC is designed as a self-insert. "Someone else" is not fucking your girl. You are, as by design. You are the MC. You are the player character. There is a reason most of these games allow you to name your character, or refer to that character as "you". As such, they are fundamentally different in intent (not necessarily content) than simple video porn, which, by the way, has nothing to do with this conversation. The similarities or dissimilarities of video porn and game porn isn't really something I'm interested in. I'm interested in this game. Back on topic, as you said yourself, immersion is key here.

"In which case no matter how virtual your partner may be, unless you're into swinging, you will not want to see them get intimate with anyone else but your personification within the game."

Exactly. This is what I said in the first place. I'm looking forward to more true love route, and looking at it from Lara's perspective in the current game is the opposite of that. If you read the thread, there are plenty of comments that should highlight the issues people are having with how Lara is written. A reply to a very specific reply to someone else with specific context probably isn't the best of these comments to direct such generalized questions and concerns to and probably won't help you "understand the whole NTR discussion."

It seems you are not used to a third-party's input on a topic, which my post was (as opposed to jumping in your 2-way dialogue and making it a 3-way).

I had read your thread but thanks for the suggestion. Again, I didn't aim to join the conversation, only to provide an external idea as food for thought.
My post had only one point, illustrated by a thought process going through its complexities. It appears it failed to be clear enough to your eyes, the reason for which can be varied.

At this stage all I feel I can say is that if I was to write a piece talking about the fact there is such a thing as 'temperature', and I'd illustrate it by saying certain things are 'cold', others are 'hot'. I would not be 'all over the place', neither would I be 'arguing multiple points' nor contradicting myself. I'd only be making one single point.

Apologies if I wasted your time, please ignore my post and I'll leave you two back to your conversation.
