Playing through 0.1 a few weeks ago and going purely off ~vibes~, my impression was that it was a lot of a passive MC being contrasted with women both more powerful and (more importantly) more dynamic than him, either outright threatening to kill him or else twirling their lady moustaches and laying sinister plans to use him in one way or another. Him accidentally building a virtual girlfriend sort of strengthened the impression that real life and meaningful action wasn't his forte.

Not enough to write him off as a complete waste, but enough that I had some concerns about where it'd go from here. I don't remember if I'd noticed the tag before playing though, so don't know if that influenced my impression.
Yeah, one of the things I tried to do with this update/refresh was to make the MC come off as less of a wimp. After the initial feedback I went back through, and I could absolutely see how much of a pussy the MC was coming off as. I can't write him as a total alpha chad man in charge since I need to leave it open enough that the player has the option of a more passive playstyle compared to the routes where the MC really starts to lean into things, which can be tricky. I try to mix in some variation with the dialogue and some of the visuals depending on your choices, but I'd like to avoid having to do 4 different versions of every scene. For now I'm trying to come down somewhere in the middle until the player has had the opportunity to kind of define their MC. Maybe I'm still missing the mark so I'd love to hear back after you've played this version or even after an update or two from now.

I don't even know what this means... The game is woke? Is that a complaint? A compliment? An unbiased scientific opinion?

The game description doesn't tell us anything about what this game is. All I can tell from the images is that it takes place in a sci-fi type universe.
Yeah, sci-fi with a dash of body horror from some of those screenshots.

Well ... MC has a heart to heart with his AI and then .. she just bolts and leaves Mc in the squeezing grip of some offputting bullying muscle women boss girl stereotypes of no brains ”squeeze the phuny squishy wimp of a male” generic vilains that started controlling not only Mc in every aspect of his life, they already started controlling his family and his GF - this is serious hugely disgusting thing to do - you are turning this game into Shaw Shank Redemption with MC being primed to take it up the ass hard.
Maybe I'm still missing the mark so I'd love to hear back after you've played this version or even after an update or two from now.
Where did the AI superhero who would help MC out go?

Why did she take over the boss vilainous asshole brain dead lady whole system if MC is still bullied out of his mind by her?

How come MC is blackmailed into turning his whole family and friends into slaves for the boss lady AI?
Why is the AI MC made dissapear and is letting all those assholes enslave his whole family?

How is MC ok and passive while everyone he knows is being rag dolled into the shitty program of his vilain boss lady?

What is driving MC? He has no life purpose?
Why is it that he does not even look for his AI, not even booting some earlier versions of her to recruit them to his cause to save himself, her most recent version who achieved sentience and is now free, his family and his friends from the raping futa enslaving dishgusting AI that the brain dead muscle lady boss is using to rape the users that are dumb enough to put on the glasses?

This first release fucking ruled, and I am highly looking forward to what comes next, especially if it involves corruption (which it heavily seems likely to). If you can release a few more updates of this quality, then I will absolutely back it.

Guess I might have missed the mark then. :rolleyes:

I'm going to try to respond to some of these questions without spoiler tags because I'm worried about you misleading people about what's in the game. I'll try not to spoil too much but if you want to go into the game with a blank state you probably shouldn't read any further.

Maybe I fucked up with some of the writing and steered you to the wrong conclusions in which case I'll have to take another pass at some of it but I'm not sure how you came to some of the stuff you're complaining about.

Firstly, it should be noted that the majority of the content in this game takes place over only a handful of days. So, the MC has barely had time to get his bearings about what has happened. Also, he sort of got what he wanted in the first place. He was planning on selling the tech or at least making money off of it somehow and now he has a high-paying job. Obviously, it comes with less-than-ideal working conditions and it's not exactly what he had in mind, but the story needs a little conflict here and there. As far as future motivation, the plot needs to develop a little bit and the player needs a chance to steer some of the MC's decisions before that will be defined.

The AI is not a super-hero, it has not achieved sentience and it has not broken free. It is a chatbot that facilitates multiplayer simulations. I am not sure how you think he could have used any version of it to accomplish anything over the course of the story so far. Also, at no point does the AI have a cock and the only sexual content featuring it involves the MC who is in a much more dominant role than the AI.

I don't know where you're getting the whole thing about the family being enslaved from. I don't remember writing anything where anyone expressed an interest in controlling the MC's family, yes, the boss lady tells the MC to use them when testing his tech but that was because they were impatient and didn't want to wait for the MC to find some other people to test it on. The only other time she mentioned the MC's family was when she told him to take them out to celebrate and act excited about being hired for his cover-story job. She, and her accomplice, are trying to keep the MC under their thumb and they're obviously not against underhanded methods but they haven't expressed any real interest in the MC's friends or family. The boss lady(ladies) have also not expressed any interest in using the tech for sex and certainly not to rape anyone. They haven't even articulated their plan at all.


I hope that clears things up for you. Like I said if other people are getting the same impressions than I need to take another pass at the writing. If you're just trolling though, good job. (y)

Changed it hope this is better :LOL:
Lol, yeah probably. I was mostly teasing.

Some people might not consider cheating on the MC's girlfriend the "best" option even if it means missing a sex scene. I'm not sure what the sample size is of people who play porn games while choosing to role-play a monogamous relationship though.

Yeah, there will be girl on girl scenes that are unavoidable. The game is going to focus the perspective on the MC but there will be occasional interludes (interlewds if you will) that will include clam jams.

And to answer some of the earlier questions, the relationships are set up the way they are because obviously I was thinking about using Patreon. I even started to set up the page and everything. But I saw some drama some other creators were going through because Patreon updated their guidelines and now I think it might not be worth the hassle. I'll probably miss out on my chance to be an AVN millionaire but I don't want the stress of worrying about them nuking my account. And I'm not sure about itch.io, there's nothing specifically calling it out in their FAQ about acceptable content but I saw some comments on their forum for some other games saying that itch doesn't allow overly affectionate families.

So for now I'll go with two distros. You could probably figure out how to edit the script yourself to get the desired result, but I'll save you the hassle for now.

As far as NTR/sharing I probably scared some people off earlier but I've seen some wild reactions on this site during my days as a lurker and I still have no idea what the agreed definition of NTR even is. For example was the scene with the apple NTR?

(Graphic spoilers incoming)

Anyway, I have a subscribe star now - and a Discord -
I'll be keeping most of the activity public on both of those for now but if any of you want to talk to me more about the game I'm not joking when I say I want feedback.

And if you don't want to bother downloading the game again you could probably just replace the script files with these - View attachment 3505012 View attachment 3505013
Ok, thank you very much for that spoiler, it just stoped me for coming here to do a little bit of flaming xd, some things you have there can be considered ntr for ntr-haters, its your game and its up to you what you want to do. But to save time put these scenes in the ntr part in the developer notes, it will save you a lot of time. I personally wish you best luck with your game. With that being said im out of here and ignore, this is not for me. EDIT: One more thing: If you ask yourself, is this ntr? what do you spect from people who do not like it, person who dont like ntr 100% sure will think it is.

Hey, just looked through the updated version. A few assorted notes below.

You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.

If this comes across as overly negative, I should stress that I think you have a really solid foundation here with some interesting character designs and solid, engaging writing. I'm just picking at the details that didn't quite click for me.

I don't even know what this means... The game is woke? Is that a complaint? A compliment? An unbiased scientific opinion?
I assume they meant that this is so polished they couldn't believe that you haven't had the help of professional script editors.

I hope that clears things up for you. Like I said if other people are getting the same impressions than I need to take another pass at the writing. If you're just trolling though, good job. (y)
You're responding to one of the more eccentric voices on this forum. I wouldn't worry too much about it.

Hi dev.

Ness...

Sharing. She'll be your wingman and you'll both fuck your way through all the other girls, sometimes tagging in and out and sometimes just taking different holes. Think frat bro buddy but a woman.
Sara....
Sharing again but different vibe from Ness (at least I hope I pull off the differences). She's going to be more of a Robin to your Batman but she's also going to be more aggressive about going after the other girls herself.
Those 2 descriptions are a little confusing, so Ness is just going to be someone to team up with to fuck other girls? The mc doesn't fuck her?

And about Sara,"she's going to be more aggressive about going after the other girls herself" what does that mean? (the typical lesbian predator, or is she going to get girls for Mc?)


EDIT: lol nvm, it seems that while reading the posts I overlooked the 2nd page (my bad), the game looks interesting but that's where my interest ended haha. Either way I appreciate such a detailed description.

Good luck dev.

Great stuff, thanks again for your feedback.

I have nothing against negative comments as long as they're constructive, which yours all have been. Most of the critiques have highlighted ways that things come off other than how I intended which is super useful to me. And, even if everything I get to you guys is exactly what I intended I'm not going to please everyone all the time. I'm trying to be a *little* bit different than most porn games which means the game probably won't have the same broad appeal.

Hopefully some stuff clicks a little better for you as we go though because your feedback is making the game better and it would be a shame if you didn't enjoy playing.

I added the download link to the OP but here's a quick script fix for both that missing line of code and a music-related bug.
