Casually inserting my reminder that I would greatly enjoy "the girls becoming the town bicycle" ending

Because the endings depend on the choices that have been made during the story, if the same number of green, blue and red choices have been made, the logical thing would be to have a neutral ending, right?
and I also think that if it were to come to the case that there would be no endings where we have Leto-Cyanna-Haylen content, then it would have been a total waste of plot to have established the fact that at the beginning both felt romantic attraction towards Leto, in that case it would have been better if their initial feeling towards Leto had been more family love and not romantic attraction, just like the relationship between Noa and his mother in HC2 even if she had not been his biological mother.
I must say that the game really is my favorite RPG where the sex scenes are purely pixel art, and even though there are things that I don't like, I try to say them in a constructive way, because the truth is I don't like the feeling that you get from having done something that you really enjoy and that others can enjoy what you do, and that you only receive destructive comments and little empathy with your work, and by the way, I apologize if at any time I sounded too harsh with anything I said. XD.

Ain't my fault that Patreon suddenly decided that "adopted" was considered incest right after I started making the game^^ But I'll try to find a solution.
There was nothing harsh about anything you said : ) Thanks!
I'm not very sold on this whore ending variation
I think either 1-on-1 NTR ending or Duke taking both girls rose and cynna would be a good ending...

Since the update isn't out on itch.io yet and I'm still contemplating whether I want to grab it ASAP or wait for the next one so that I can play the "full" beach story in one go, I've been stuck thinking about how the endings will work now all morning and just feel like idly theorizing a bit.
Trying to puzzle things out from the bits and pieces of information:
Just looking at them, it makes me think that the obvious choice would be to condense things back down to three endings by merging the "whore NTR" ending into the Revenge ending. Have him just become as cruel and cold as we saw in the king's flashback (if not even more so), where he marries Rose and takes the throne... but only does it out of necessity (his duty to protect the kingdom and more personally, a pathological need for control after being inevitably betrayed by his closest loved ones), with no room in his heart to actually forgive her or the other three for hurting him so deeply. By necessity, if Cyanna and Haylen can't have any interaction with Leto... That puts the Revenge ending in a bad spot for them having any content, since it would need to be with other characters and the villains probably aren't going to be around in that ending.
_______________________________________________________________________________________
But then on a separate train of thought, I'm also wondering how it would work to handle the choice on which NTR ending you get with the current plan. With how the ending is determined so far by tallying up your dialogue choices, it would need to be a binary choice once you're locked into the NTR path. But having the player pick an option which does nothing other than arbitrarily determine if the villains are open to sharing or not would be more than a little abrupt. Especially for a character like Ulrod, where the brothel quest made it pretty damn explicit that he would not be open that.
And that makes me wonder if the "whore NTR" ending would actually make more sense as a variant of the Happy ending instead, where Leto thwarts the conspiracy either way, but is given an obvious (to the player) choice between doing it the right way, which leads to the Happy ending... or some foolish and naïve way, which gives you the Bad/"Hollow" ending version instead, where the villains are defeated, but Leto's life still slowly falls apart even in their absence because picking that foolish option is a confirmation that Leto (in this ending) hasn't actually changed or learned anything throughout the story. In a thematic sense, the Bad ending is a punishment for his stagnation while the Happy ending is a reward for his growth.
Trying to puzzle things out from the bits and pieces of information:
- Happy Ending — I always assumed this was going to be very Rose-focused, because it's supposed to be the most "vanilla" romantic path and having that end on a harem would've been... surprising, to say the least. And unlike the NTR ending, I don't recall ever seeing any mention of it potentially having its own mini-branch, like where you could get the normal "marry Rose" ending or the "everyone falls in love with Leto" golden ending on top of that.
- NTR Ending — Exactly what you'd expect from the name, and we know it's supposed to have two versions; one where the villains keep the girls for themselves, and another where they get shared around... but we have no idea how what the context could be to choose between those. I mean, obviously, that would be massive spoilers.
- Revenge Ending — The biggest question mark in my head right now, because I felt like this was almost certainly going to be the one that involved the harem by process of elimination, and now that it is off the table, it's just a total blank slate in my brain and I have no clue what to expect.

Damn, you're one train of thought away from becoming a train station, luckly for you i'll gladly provide that one more train to keep you up at night, if you wanna brainstorm about HC3 then come up with something for this:

I look at that image, and the very first thing that pops into my head is the lingering trauma of another game that came out recently, which forces you to navigate a maze with a filter over your screen that follows you around as you move.
I swear, I almost lost my mind during that.
The second thing that pops into my head, however, is that it would actually make a perfect setpiece for another Leto nightmare sequence without the need to fit it somewhere in the actual world like the beach or the city. Filling the maze with mysterious silhouettes having sex, and Leto's hazy dream logic is this instinctive "I need to find Rose, she is in trouble" with no actual reason given to the player, like it's just a gut feeling that he can't put into words or justify. The silhouettes could either be purely background decoration as you work your way to the end, or that you need to actually seek them out at the various dead ends and reveal them one by one, which could get into some more playful character combinations of Leto's subconscious paranoia running wild instead of having his suspicions be spot on with every single one.

Not nearly as much as it might seem, honestly! Like the part in Chapter 2 where Noah finds out what is happening behind his back and starts moping around the house in a fugue state... That was pretty rough to get through because it twisted the knife just a little too hard for me. That's just the double-edged blade with good writing!
... but then again, I'm also the odd one out where so many people think Cyanna's storyline is too sad to be enjoyable, while I'm just 100% unfazed by it and am crossing my fingers for it to get even bleaker.

Oh I very much disagree. The Duke has now become a big deal to Cyanna as well.
You don't have permission to view the spoiler content.
Log in or register now.
Edit: haha I just realised I didn't disagree with OP, I just misread his comment. Whelp. The point still stands though!
Words fail to describe how much I love this idea. I feel like the moments inside Leto's head are always standouts to me. I guess because they are the only window into his inner turmoil. So even though they are "not real" they are very much impactful. I guess it speak more to the NTR side of things than the corruption aspect of the game.Miss Y said:
I never even considered that the dream sequences have the added benefit of allowing different couplings. One could debate if that adds or subtracts to them though.
Damn, now I have to come up with a cool pitch for a dream sequence of my own. You've made me feel inadequate in comparison.
Wait.... oh noooo.

I guess it's just that part of the story where everyone fucks making it hard to make things exciting compared to when they were still holding back pre update 12-ish?
I was coasting through the update when the final scene between duke and rose took me off the road and I was expecting their scene not Cyanna's so fuck me.

Well, I didn't say there would be no mom NTR, just that the MC will have to keep their hands off her in the happy and revenge ending. I'm not promising a NTR mom either though, I haven't given it enough thought to be sure^^
I like the idea of using the maze as the background for a nightmare sequence. I've already figured out what kind of scene I want to add with it before that (it'll involve Cyanna), but having Leto navigate it in the real world first would make it more believable if it shows up during his sleep later on. There will be a few elements to feed his paranoia earlier in the update, so it works even better^^
Aywin* No worries about the name, I too tend to forget them at times^^
Sure, but Leto didn't have sex with her.

That's wonderful!! So, there's still hope... I'm really not into incest, so I don't think it's a big loss, but my condolences to those who do F.
