Poor bastard has too much free time, look at this sheets damn.Only person I've seen that wants their time wasted by adding needless traversal.

seriously fr. i was kinda trying to balance all the things and it was a pleasant surprise that so far in the game there are no lasting choices. but i also dont see any other way than running multiple saves.Maaaaan it's gonna suck when next update comes out and we have to temporarily commit to one of the paths. I was pretty adamant I'd go with the Sera one because she's 100% best girl and she deserves to be the wife of someone who'll actually love her, no matter how fucked up he is. Then all of a sudden we get torn between miniature Ceci, Mars saying "I love you mother" to Elena and an adorable and completely in love Erin. I hate running multiple saves but I don't see any way I'm getting around it, I want to see all 4 of their storylines next update.
Nitro said the character development from the route you didn't choose will largely happen offscreen and the status quo from after the timeskip won't be too different.Maaaaan it's gonna suck when next update comes out and we have to temporarily commit to one of the paths.

Yeah, I've got all the time in the world. You jelly?Poor bastard has too much free time, ...
There, there. No need to be intimidated by a few words. They wont hurt you. Are all those projected hours you'd need to read and digest my "sheets" nauseating you? I'm so sorry...., look at this sheets damn.
Where are you two guys coming from? The discord? Ohhh... you must be from the discord shilling team, pissed off at me, because I made fun of you? top kek"The life of a critic is simple in many respects, we risk little and have power over those who offer their work and their service in our judgment" xd
Yeah. Also the issue here also seems to be that the author, while generally being an awesome writer, doesn't have much clue about BDSM, so he fumbled it, instead of doing some research and letting him consult by some BDSM pros that know how that shit works, the psychological side of things in particular (no, not even looking at me, total noob here. I just think this shit is hot as fuck. Just light BDSM of course, nothing bloody. Spanking is great though. gahahaha).All the updates except the last one were bangers. I did not like the Elena stuff at all, it felt extremely forced and rushed and nonsensical.
And the other part of the problem is that nitrolith didn't seem to have a clear and sound vision for Elena. Focusing on humiliation and bullying? Duuuude. That's what Cecille and Sera went through, the latter in particular. Public humiliation to lower her standing/reputation? For fucks sake, why would you do such a thing to your future demon mommy?I think they'll be more effective then. Elena is a heroine I created mostly to focus on scenes with humiliation and bullying. So I want in the future for her content to have some vanilla pampering scenes with Mars, some public humiliation scenes to lower her standing/reputation with people, (...)
She says "Yes" and is subservient, because she is a good (the best!) mother, and as such 100% loyal as Vi is to Mars, and *not* because she is a slave or got trained/humiliated. "Torture and rape" isn't a different style of corruption that contrasts with Cecille and Sera at all, in fact you're doing exactly the same thing to Erina, just much worse and a lot cheaper (blackmail, threats of violence, ...). It's weak. And if you think BDSM is only about "training" and humiliation, then you don't get BDSM at all. It's (generally) not ment to be mean to each other; it's supposed to be the exact opposite, you're pampering and taking care of each other - ROUGHLY - sure, but that doesn't mean your a mean bully, doing something to someone else that isn't welcome. (of course Elena doesn't know what she wants or needs, hence some FORCE is required, UNTIL SHE LIKES IT, but that's a different story...)Elena is the type of person who doesn't have any tools besides kindness to deal with conflicts, she was raised to say "Yes" and be subservient basically.
The game Mars suggests is just a distraction, Elena in that situation had no other option. From Mars' perspective, the most efficient option is to torture or rape her until she sees things his way. Soft methods like he has used with Cecille wouldn't work, so he tried to improvise something to avoid extreme methods of persuasion.
Elena is essentially a secondary heroine, the main heroines being Cecille and Sera. So not only storywise, slow corruption wouldn't work for Elena, but I wasn't interested in it. I wanted to layer a different style of corruption that contrasts with Cecille and the other heroines.
But yeah, some easing-in can definitely help. I'm still not done tweaking her part of the story. It still needs quite a bit of polish.
I know, right?I feel as if Elena suddenly just getting very subservient to Mars and accepting his game (which feels contrived and kinda...asspull-y, no offense...really, erin cards?) because she literally got Deus Ex Machina'd is just eh. There could have been a better way to write that, with more easing into it, I think.
Nah he still comes here sometimes. It just seems like you put a lot of thought into these "ramblings", so it would be shame Nitro didn't see them any time soon. But if like you said, there more of self-therapeutic thing then anything, just keep doing what your doing. (Also yes your ramblings are fun)Does he no longer show up here? He seemed to frequent the thread quite often, at least in the early days (I still haven't cought up reading through the thread, but by now I can't wait to read how other anons liked the Elena arc).

Pay attention Thorfinn, you have no enemies, no one has enemies. No one in this world deserves to be hurt
I don't know you, my comment is towards the creator of this good game
It's completely linear for now with just two bad end branches.is there a walkthrough for this game? or like, a wiki or something? i went through like 8 pages of the thread and ngl, every comment is a fucking thesis. not that i am complaining, the game is fucking fantastic and deserves all this speculation and contribution and that is also what i am looking for. is there a file or a thread where someone has compiled certain elements and key points?
Well, perfect. So he will either chose to read my shit, or not, and then he will chose to think about it, or not, and then he might chose to engage with me (or my ideas), or not. It's all up to him, and I won't pressure anyone. And yes, shitposting (i.e. my ramblings) is first and foremost a fun activity all in and on itself. That's why we do it for free. heheNah he still comes here sometimes.
sure, sure. And then, soon enough, I will fuck back off to go shitposting somewhere else. But I'm glad you had fun reading my ramblings.just keep doing what your doing. (Also yes your ramblings are fun)
Nitro used to be very active here but now he only comes after an update and remains for a day or two. He also does not really answer criticism anymore. He used to answer a lot of shit here. Though your comments are rather...unrepliable in format.Well, perfect.

Thunderbolt3 is a track made by a friend of mine, it's inspired by this track:Gotta say, the soundtrack called Thunderbolt3 (in audio folder in game files), is absolutely amazing. It builds up so well.
Feels like something from Made in Abyss or something like that. Really well done.
Other great ones are hariironoumi and sekibaku. Wondering which ones are actually original work.
uuuuuuuh... that's quite a lot.Well, perfect.

Here's some more, and on a more positive/constructive note:
A framework for side-character "end-game"
I'm assuming a proper RPGM chibi map/world (as outlined), and will illustrate the idea with the example of Iris, the lewd maid (that I still didn't get to lewd - at all - for some unholy reason...).
First things first, and generally speaking:
- A side-character is either still unsolved (free, or undecided), or it has reached its "end-game" (or end state) due to the players actions.
- If still free, the side-character has its own cycle on the map and offers interaction options so the player can bring the side-character to its "end-game". The side-character (or its chibi) may be stuck in some place indefinitely, or it switch places, or even roam the map as seems fit (so much room for fun activities...).
- The "end-game" either opens up the side-character to be lewdable indefinitely, or it may entail a non- and never to be lewded state (the side-character may even fuck off for good, or otherwise become unavailable) depending on whether the player brought her to her "good" or "bad" ending (where good and bad are from the perspective of the side-character, and either one could mean that she's now lewdable, or not and never will be).
Now if the side-character becomes available to be lewded, it will switch into a new "end-game" state and day cycle of fun activities. This doesn't necessarily entail much at all, and in the simplest case there's just a chibi always at the same spot on the map with a heart indicator, available to be lewded and start some repeatable scene, maybe even a "mini-game". But there may be more, with side-characters switching places (to be lewded differently and fire up another lewd scene that is repeatable), freely roam the map, and whatever scripts and fun dynamics that may be fun... (it's the little things).
And of course, even unavailable/unlewdable "end-game" may still populate the map in some way, or another. There just won't be a heart indicator, ever.
That's the general framework to populate the map with side-characters (naturally there should be quite a few noname chars/chibi too all over the place; ugly gossiping hags and such...) and bring it to (nukige) life - as an ideal complement to the narrative heavy main story/VN and to break it up, so overall pacing is in the hands of the player.
By the point our hero Mars is in the cuck shed together with Elina, there should be already at least a handful of side-characters on the map that can be brought to their "end-game". But not all side-characters should appear from the beginning, or at the same time. Introduce some later on (some daughter returning from boarding school, a new family that settles, some bad girl released from prison, whatever...). Or like Odette that only appears once you "unlock" Yvet first. Having certain conditions for certain side-chars to even show up might be part of the puzzle.
Alright, let's look at an example, and how I imagine my Iris (the lewd maid) "end-game". I'm assuming an inn with, say 2 floors and a bunch of rooms for the guests, and maybe an utility room, and what not. The theme of Iris "end-game" is free-use:
- If the player enters the inn, Iris is placed in a random room and cleans something (or some other activity). This also determines her lewdable position for the scene (e.g. she might be cleaning standing, on a ladder, bent over or be on all four on the flour or something). Slap a heart icon on her. Now Mars is free to come by and lewd her. See that image I've just posted earlier with Cecille showing off her ass? Something like this (depending on the position), then a small "mini-game" where you can feel her up or just push it in or whatever you feel like. hahaha. Anyways, just define a bunch of such positions throught the inn and have a fitting scene for each of them.
- Have an Iris timer that randomly resets after a (fairly) short while, and just make chibi Iris switch rooms to go clean (or whatever) another room, to be lewded elsewhere. Maybe have a lewdable scene for when she's moving and you catch her in the floor...
- Occasionally/randomly Iris may be stuck somewhere (switch heart indicator to confused/angry indicator). In the washing machine, under the table, in the couch, the dumbest, most tropiest shit for being stuck to get fucked things you can imagine. And you can imagine the rest. hehe I think it's funny, but that's just an optinal idea; not necessary, but it would be fun to do. And that's the beauty of these nukige side-characters.
Oh, oh! And let's quickly talk about an unavailable/unlewdable state for iris: You mess it up, one way or another, and so Iris fucks off (for good) and quits her job at the inn. What now happens is that the inn hires a new maid, but unfortunately the new maid isn't lewd or sexy at all, but still a fantastic maid (feel free to make it a point and let the inn be super dirty all the time with iris, with rubbish objects and such all over the place, maybe even dirty textures/walls or what not, and as soon as the new, ugly, but competent maid is here, you switch the inn to be perfectly clean from here on out... pretty good, eh?). Just not lewd. Or lewdable. You fucked up, Iris will never come back. You suck and this is your price. The end.
And yes, totally guilty: I just wanna see more original and lewd (side-)characters from nitrolith. SHOW US WHAT YOU'VE GOT. hahaha. Also I can imagine that writing and implementing such side-characters is actually a really fun activity. There's no pressure, things may be short and sweet and then fuck it, or you can go places too, if you have a fun idea...
It's mainly because I find forums as a slow way to exchange ideas, I started to prefer DMs or discord as it's fast and efficient.Nitro used to be very active here but now he only comes after an update and remains for a day or two. He also does not really answer criticism anymore. He used to answer a lot of shit here. Though your comments are rather...unrepliable in format.
