the French part is important to the question tho, they're both very different countries, it may sound rude to you guys but for me it sounds fine and that's all that matters for me

didn't sound mocking to me, guess it's just the environment you grew in that shapes your view of questions
I'm afraid not, sorry. I'm not really knowledgeable about Discord, and while I could certainly learn, managing + keeping the server alive would take too much of my focus away from development. I know a Discord server would be helpful, but between that and a more polished game/more content, I'm sure people would prefer the latter^^Sir can you please make a discord server for this game. Getting updates there will be more fast and we can also post bugs there if we encounter any. Ty for matching such a fantastic game
That's mainly why I created a character such as Ulrod. I wanted different characters, different backstories, appearances, personalities, motivations, and approach to corruption to appeal to more people within the NTR community, and to make development a bit more fun and diversified for me as well. I know not everyone will like him, and that's fine (as long as it's not the vast majority of people).
And while he's a bit different than the rest in that he has an direct connection with his target, he's still your good ol' NTR antagonist: he wants things to go his way, even if he has to lie, manipulate, and be forceful about it, until the woman his reduced to a submissive slut.
Who knows, I ain't French^^ I mean, I got the passport alright, but I wasn't born nor did I grow up there. As for why I'm in Japan, well... because. I've spent 2 years there already a few years ago, and this was my last ever chance for a 1-year visa, so I took it while I could (my current job leaves me no opportunity to move there permanently).

N_taii , I have a question for you, if you wouldn't mind answering it. In both of the previous chapters of the franchise there was a ¨canon¨ ending of sorts, but this time as I understand there are three endings available; good, ntr, and revenge. As I don't see a ¨true¨ ending does that mean that there is no canon-ending or is one of the aforementioned ones the ¨canon¨?
Now, if we could only find a use for this lore...^^
Well, right now I've decided not to add a True Ending in HC3. The reason is that it takes quite a lot of time to make and people didn't care about it that much. Nobody complained about it, mind you, but it was just like the cherry on the cake for most and not something they were looking forward. So, for reasons of time and efficiency, there will be no True Ending in HC3.

Yea, unless you planed for some future game to have some kind of cross over, there aint really a need for a true ending in my opinion.
I'm gonna be honest, any time I play these sort of NTR games, I don't usually feel for the characters, but the dev did something for this game. I genuinely got upset for Haylen, don't know if I have the heart to play this game again lmao.
For real though, kudos to the dev, this game is good.

Re: True Ending, I can't help but feel like it was really swimming against the current in Chapter 2, both in that it was contradictory to the central appeal of this being an NTR game (I would liken it to putting a calm, deconstructive "pacifist" ending in Doom 2016 and calling it the official canon one) as well as the fact that it was directly competing with the Happy Ending. There were some differences between the two, but I don't think there was enough to really make the True Ending stand out as its own thing.
To have a Happy Ending and a True Ending... I feel like there were two options to really set them apart:
A.) In the Happy Ending, Noah mostly solves the problem and then immediately goes back into denial, with Celis and Aywin still being corrupted even with Zenos and Edwyr gone. They just return to the mid-game status quo of doing it all behind Noah's back so that he can cling to his nostalgia of how innocent things used to be, while the True Ending is what actually redeems them. But admittedly, I can see how that mislabeling might rub people the wrong way.
B.) The Happy Ending remains mostly the same, but True Ending has some kind of NTR twist at the 11th hour as a little post-game stinger, where it being above the Happy Ending makes its inclusion feel like a meaningful change that stays true to the genre.

No true ending is good. I found that the true endings to HC1 and 2 the worst endings. So often the "true" ending to a video game is, for God knows what reason, unnecessarily sad. Like endings are only possible if some kind of sacrifice is made regardless of whether or not it fits with the story. Sometimes everyone coming home as big goddamn heroes is the ending that fits and it's the ending that should be used. "True" endings are rarely satisfying.

N_taii, there isn't enough of this and I want more.
Personally the only thing I find lacking is physical appearance corruption which you certainly have in both the character screen and on the sprites. Guess I'll have to wait for more updates really.
What is your development cycle like? How often do you release updates?

yeah, the True ending themselves weren't bad, if only a little sad, but their existence makes most sense if there are plans for characters like Noah to appear in future games like HC3 or 4
Some characters from HC2 are planned to make a brief cameo in HC3, so while we can't really call that a crossover, it helps to have a True Ending on which I can base their backstories for their dialogue. It's not absolutely essential though.
Thanks!
Usually, an update comes out once ever 30 to 40 days. This month, I'm on a break, so the next one will take two months to be made (release around early november, if all goes well. Moving to another continent can come with its share of surprises^^).

Since you're asking to repost unanswered questions... Can I ask again your opinion about my suggestion for the Orbs? I think it would be pretty good for the game.

Do you mind telling me (in dms) or us how you managed to get a visa for Japan? Is it a year abroad in uni, or is it a job-thing? I'm very curious, as Im learning Japanese myself on and off and always wanted to go, maybe while I sitll study.
Also let me say I second the opinion on the last page about a revenge ending maybe being cool if Leto went full rogue/bad boy on it. That would be an interesting change of pace.
Hmmm, the idea behind the orbs was really to give a small hint when there were freeroam events to be seen, and as an extra, where players could find them if they clicked on the orbs, while still leaving some mystery. I don't really want to overload them with info, and I'm not sure adding more visual cues in a room that's already crowded with text and stuff, etc... would be a good idea in the first place. That might change in the future though, if I find there's a whole lot of people who want that.
In the meanwhile, you could take a look at the end of the walkthrough. There's an extensive list that tells you where to find the events, at what time, and under what conditions. It'll be easy to figure out what's new so you can go check it out and not waste time checking the same event several times in a row.
(I could, however, add a number 1,2,3... to the text that shows up after clicking on the orb. That way, if the number changes, you'll be able to tell there's a new event.)
When I was in uni, I got the opprtunity to go on a one-year exchange thrice, twice in Japan and once in China. All were student visas. This time, it's a visa called working-holiday, which grants me the opportunity to stay in the country for one year, with less restrictions than the student one. Maybe you could qualify for it too, as long as there's some kind of agreement between your country and Japan.
There will be, yes : )
I have upped the number of saves from 100 t0 130. I'm afraid of adding any more than that, for fear of breaking the game(RPGMaker games originally only have 10 or so, so we're over 10 times that amount now)

That is pretty cool actually. I think uni is my best chance, maybe during my masters degree. I also heard tho that there is the possibility for becoming a limited-time foreign language teacher (esp. English) for 5 years.

Thanks for the answer. And congratulations on the amazing writing and scenes in the "Duke x Rose" plot so far. The last scene of the update was hot AF!
