Hey, big fan. Question. Which site did you use to commission pixel artists? Where do you look out for talent to hire. As a pixel artist I'm wondering where I should post my art to have a chance to work with projects like these.
You may not like rape but so far every HC game has had it at least once. In HC1 Eleonora's scenes start with her being coerced and drugged into sexual acts which is rape, and the maid's entire storyline starts with her being raped into submission for days. HC2 has plenty of men taking advantage of younger women via coercion and authority, which again is rape, and the high elf character is kidnapped, raped into submission, and then involved in gangbangs and BDSM against her will. In HC3 the Duke's men turn an entire female contingent of guards into their sex slaves by force, the Duke himself is regularly seen using his authority to pressure women into sex, and Ulrod raped Alys early on and continues to force himself on her on a regular basis. The fact that N_Taii is not overtly cruel and in your face about it does not mean that emotional, mental, and physical coercion is not present in his work. Most of the female cast says no at least once.
Don't worry, I completely understood what you meant to say. And what my reply implied is that, if faced with a choice, I will always go for improving the pixel art over CG art, so choice number 2 in your case : )
That's one of the main reason why I use pixel art: interactability. Sure, it's also cheaper and thus allows me to have more of it, all entirely animated, but having a world that can be interacted with as opposed with a CG that can only be looked at not only makes the game feel more alive, but it also gives a certain sense of control to the players, and thus they might feel more personally involved in the game. This kind of connection between the player and the game gives yet another dimension to the NTR itself that you might not get in CG-only VNs, for example.
The idea right now is to keep this format for as long as possible and then branch out into having more people take part in the sex scenes. Another thing I had in mind was to make two different NTR endings: one centered around more 1-to-1 NTR, and the other having the women turn into some kind of public use sluts. Since I'm not planning on doing a True Ending anymore for HC3, having an extra NTR Ending might work.

I don't like it either, but it'd be foolish to think my game doesn't have a good amount of very dubious consent in some scenes.
Thanks!
I actually found my two first artists on DeviantArt. Then the 3rd one was recommended to me by an artist I'd already hired. The other 5-6 I hired were all found through Reddit, but now I mainly stalk other recent NSFW devs reddit threads who are looking for pixel artist and contact those who've answered in the comment section. It saves me the hassle of having to ask them if they're okay with NSFW in the 1st place, or if they're open for commissions.
You could always send me a few of your creations in DMs. I don't need artists right now, but NSFW pixel artists are quite rare (as opposed to NSFW CG artists), so I might contact you sometimes if I need your services : )
More like 1 NTR ending with two variations
Hm. Not a fan of the idea of the characters becoming a village bicycle. Especially in regards to Rose as I'm not sure how that would even work given her status. Honestly I'd kind of like to see a women's lib ending. Like they realize they're sluts and that Leto isn't going to be able to satisfy their urges so they just be all "Fuck that beta soyboy cuck loser who's too much of a wiener to actually express his feelings and deepen his relationship with Rose and these rapist assholes, let's drain this city dry." Rose gets a literal harem, Cyanna takes control of the guard and just fucks whoever she wants, Lily takes over the magic shop and starts tempting customers and men from the nearby brothel, Haylen pulls a Catholic priest and starts preying on the young men who attend her church.
Does anyone know how to fix this error? The game always crashes for the part with that guy who gives me the crystal balls

Love the idea, even if i don't see how that would work...yet, mainly cause in the NTR ending the antagonists win and if it's as you said above, how it's 1 NTR ending with two variations, then i assume the ending is the same storywise (mainly), it's just the girls's fate that's different, and while i can easily see Jazon or Nezar "lending" their girls out to other people, i can't say the same for the Duke and DEFINITLEY not for Ulrod.

I am all in when it comes to the idea of a "village bicycle" branch to the NTR ending for all four girls and would absolutely love to see that option... But if that doesn't pan out for specific story reasons in this case (i.e., just not making sense for certain characters like the Duke or Ulrod), I just hope that we might see something like that in a smaller form for a little more variety — whether it's just pushing one of the sidequest girls like Haylen down that path, where it would still be optional content for anyone who is seriously bothered by it... or just keeping it in mind for Chapter 4 down the road.
Without knowing what the plan is for the later parts of the story, I am amused by the thought of some "pyrrhic" variant of the NTR ending path where Leto manages to take down all four of his rivals... but in the most facile way possible, where he just sinks right back into his happy little bubble of ignorance instead of addressing any of the lingering corruption. The bad guys are gone, which means everything is automatically back to normal... as long as he doesn't notice that Rose, Cyanna, Haylen, and Lily have become desperate nymphomaniacs with no ability to control their sexual impulses.

I share your enthusiasm on the matter, but unfortunately it is unlikely that we're gonna get anything like that in a smaller form if this second NTR ending ends up not happening for whatever reason. The only thing we can do is hope that Chaper 4 will introduce the village slut route/ending.
As for HC3, based on the previous games, some sharing WILL happen, and even if that's the best we're gonna get...it is what it is, i'm more than fine with it.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I don't know about Rose&Cyanna but i'm almost a 100% sure about Haylen and Lily, i believe that N_Taii even said something regarding Lily that Tavros might take part in her corruption. There's also that wealthy douchebag that spanked Lily in her 2nd scene, he could easily make a comeback in a future scene.
As for Haylen, i don't remember exacly what the quest was about, but in one of Halyen's quests, there was this scene where Haylen was walking home with Jazon at night and they ran into Jazon's...i wanna say Uncle but i might be wrong about that, doesn't matter, it was a relative of Jazon that's all i know, if there's gonna be another person besides Jazon who's gonna have sex with Haylen, i'm betting everything on that guy.

The village bicycle ending may be good as corruption, its not very good NTR imo. Thats not the MC not being good enough or losing, thats the girl being a whore. I see that as the MC dodging a bullet. But the MC losing his girl to the objectively worse guy, now thats good NTR.
Losing your partner to any NTR storyline is a dodged bullet, the proper outcome in any NTR story is for the character being cheated on to dip. It doesn't matter if one person is going at them behind your back or if it's an entire football team. When Leto learns that Rose has been cheating on him the response to her adultery should be "You made your bed, go lie in it." Especially if she's in any way complicit with the Duke's scheming. Same with Cyanna.
I don't really care how many partners the girls ending up having so long as it makes sense. One of my OCD ticks is narrative consistency.

Yeah, that seems like more of a personal taste thing to me of which flavor you prefer — but everyone has different parameters for what qualifies as "true" or the "best" NTR. Like I'm sure some people would make a similar argument that it feels more like NTR when the other guy is just objectively better in every way (more attractive, more wealthy, better at sex, etc.) and not worse because they don't like the corruption angle at all and would rather focus on the sense of feeling emasculated or inferior. That having the guy be a toxic asshole or an ugly bastard ruins the NTR because "that's just the girl being a whore" to make such a bad choice for herself.
For me, it's more about the tragedy and loss than the specific rival-protagonist relationship. Or to frame it a slightly different way, that the rival doesn't need to be a singular, physical person. It can be more symbolic, by treating a group or even the setting itself as a "character" that manages to steal the protagonist's love interest and the happy life he could've had if things had gone differently. Going back to NTRPG2 as an example, I would say that the village itself is treated that way alongside the two villains and that was the part of the game that really clicked with me.

Oh don't get me wrong, I don't necessarily want the characters to leave personally. What I mean is the logical response is for the offended party to just raise their middle fingers in the air and leave because that should be the natural response people have to betrayal.
My only real personal requirement story wise is that everything makes sense from a story perspective, that everything lines up right. As long as everything makes sense based on how the story progresses I'm pretty much open for everything. That's why I wouldn't want to see Rose specifically turned into a village bicycle as I don't see a way for it to make sense. The Duke is too possessive to share and Rose's royal status naturally separates her from the general rabble. Dunno how N_Taii would get her into a situation where she's a village cum dumpster in a way that works for everyone unless there's an ending where the Duke overthrows the government but somehow still fails to take control leading the people to rise up and rebel.
That said I could see Rose using her public disguise as a barmaid to pick up men at some point, though my expectation would be for her to find them disappointing in comparison to the Duke.

Yes, make a "1-to-1 only" NTR ending option, please!
I hate it when the villain waste all the effort corrupting the girl and when she finally and fully succumbs, he shares the girl with a random guy or force her into a slut...
I mean, wtf... All the effort NTR'ing only to get yourself kind of NTR'ed!? That never makes sense to me, lol.

For others saying bicycle is not good ntr... it is to me. I think thats kinda the point, having both endings to satsify both crowds. Really looking forward to it!
To explain a bit more why I like the bicycle thing. For me ntr is a lot about losing someone. Both physically and mentally. Them being completely corrupted that they betray their values and become a free use slut is the biggest fall for someone like Cyanna. So you lost her when she left you for others(physical), but you also lost the person she was before (mentally).
