Which parts specific?Honestly I don't understand what you wrote down. Even with google translator it doesn't really make sense to me. Could you simplify your text?

Which parts specific?
Yes, it is a lot work, no doubt about that. But we are trying to warn you, there is a dead-end street ahead. Why is it a dead-end? This tropes you mention are, in a visual medium (PORN) a makeshift solution, a inevitable solution. The quest is which master holds your oath, AVN or AN? In the moment only one thead hat a visual payoff. To NTR itself, is it the play of ruin. The MC is not a avatar of the player, he is a crashtest dummy. It is not the player bond to a chair in a dark room, were the last scene and collapse of the building is a black screen. It is a highspeed crashtest in spotlight, filmed by 360 grade cameras for 3d and slow motion. A ballet of aluminium, plastic and steel. The Dummy liberated from gravity, frozen in time, gaze into his doom in wait of his last touch.
I prefer more the corruption type. The "realizing/caugh" type, for me, demand a lot of effort to put myself/identify into the MC. And you basically fap only once at the very end lol. Anyway, I still don't know why you can't do both. With a disable FMC POV option for the corruption scenes. Its more work of couse, but maybe worth itThe Idea currently is that you can just see/witness the same as MC. And I thought a lot about this the past 2 weeks. And I more less already made my decision to not do those meanwhile moments or similiar things like see trough walls/doors etc.
Here is my reason:
I played a lot of AVNs now. You can hate it or love it but one of my favourit genres is NTR/Cheating. But it's not that you see your partner with someone else it's more the pain you get from first time realizing it/caught them. The constantly fucked up jealous mind while you don't know what happened. But in most/maybe all NTR games it's getting destroyed (IN MY OPINION!) because you clearly see right from the beginninig what happens. But thats totally fine because they don't wanna hide it.
And so I came up with the idea to create my own game and also with the name Lovephobia. I really would like to archive transporting those feelings but I am not an experienced writer or an artist so might fail my goal. And if that's a dealbreaker for some people than I am sorry but I really wann stick to my vision of the game. And this change would be just to huge.
how on earth can it be a cuckfest if no one's slept with anyone else yet? (Other than mc and his girl together) This makes zero sense, unless you got triggered by the mother talking about going on a date.This is not an NTR focused game, yeah sure bro sure. Hole game seems like a cuckfest with some beta MC.
I am happy to hear that you like the Vanilla path so far. I really try to be as transparent to you guys as much as possible. And there are so many things I didn't thought about few months ago when I started Lovephobia. So many things I thought will turn out so much different.I prefer more the corruption type. The "realizing/caugh" type, for me, demand a lot of effort to put myself/identify into the MC. And you basically fap only once at the very end lol. Anyway, I still don't know why you can't do both. With a disable FMC POV option for the corruption scenes. Its more work of couse, but maybe worth itThen, it's your game, it is great like it is for the vanilla part. We will just have to wait for the ntr part...
It's your opinion that's ok. But I would really like to know why you came to that conclusion?This is not an NTR focused game, yeah sure bro sure. Hole game seems like a cuckfest with some beta MC.
This tropes you mention are, in a visual medium (PORN) a makeshift solution, a inevitable solution.
Trope = stereotype, cliche
Plot devices as: in the meantime or transparent walls.
Visual medium = Film, Videogames or Visual Novel.
This Stereotypes are blunt but necessary tools.
I think now I understand that part. You mean the meantime or transparent walls are necessary in a porn game and that it's a bad idea to not doing this.
Maybe you are right. But I don't see the point doing this just because every other game does it this way. They try to archive something different then I do. I think a good example is the Mom and Matt scene. Let's say I would have shown her giving a bj to Matt with a transparent wall. At this point everything is revealed already. And it would be just jumping from one mom cheating scene to another. Or even better.. adding *shlurp* sounds and MC thinks "Must be my imagination".
Is it a good idea what I am doing? I don't know. Will it be good at the end? I don't know. So why I am still doing it? Because I want to. It's not my goal to create something to please as much people as possible to make the most money out of it.
The quest is which master holds your oath, AVN or AN?
Quest = Question, sorry, my bad.
AVN = Adult Visual Novel
AN = Adult Novel
What is your goal? Are you creating a porngame or a trashy book.
A combination probably. Hopefully something that gives a small amount of people the same good feeling (not talking about XXX) other games gave me.
In the moment only one thead hat a visual payoff.
Create two or more plotlines, but reward only one, is unwise.
That's true. But I don't think it would make it better if I start letting everyone fucking around like maniacs just so there a "visual payoffs" everywhere.
To NTR itself, is it the play of ruin.
Zentral genre point is collapse, individual and social collapse.
Not 100% if I get your point. But the game is not an NTR focused game nor an Vanilla focused game. Ok currently it is more Vanilla that's true but my resources are limited and I want to implement all NTR content in a (in my opinion) reasonable way.
The MC is not a avatar of the player, he is a crashtest dummy.
The player is not in character, he is a observer. Empathy not coping.
I think you are wrong here. Actually I can't say that either because that is the way you feeling about that. But I think that a lot of people trying to use the MC as an avatar. So many things wouldn't be a problem for people if they just observe two characters.
It is not the player bond to a chair in a dark room, were the last scene and collapse of the building is a black screen.
Filming the collapse of a dark building by placing the camera inside.
Art critics will love it, but art critics dont buy.
I don't get what you try to tell me.
It is a highspeed crashtest in spotlight, filmed by 360 grade cameras for 3d and slow motion.
Crashtest high-level filmed.
I don't get what you try to tell me.
A ballet of aluminium, plastic and steel.
Car crash in slow motion.
I don't get what you try to tell me.
The Dummy liberated from gravity, frozen in time, gaze into his doom in wait of his last touch.
Dummy in the moment of the collision.
I don't get what you try to tell me.
Okay, all i am saying is your game is promising, but the quadrature of the circle is not possible. Yes, 100% is impossible. Humans are born with 10 fingers, but is every human born with 10 fingers? Yes, the scene with mom and Matt is a perfect example. Short, flawless but oddly sterile. Ava cross the scene moments ago, no impact? Kitchens are reverberative, is the MC deaf? Or was he spotted before he can speak? The shlurp as banal as it is, it leads to emotions and thoughts in the MC. The look through the wall may convey moms emotion in this streeful moment. So it is a unemotional hunch grip. For the last 4, contrast, unemotional disguised narration of a collapse vs the raw uncut moment of a collapse.First of all thank you for taking the time. I should have explain my problems a bit better, I am sorry. It's less that I don't know the words, it's more that I don't understand what you are trying to tell me. My answer are inside the quote.

That is indeed very sad to read, especially cause the main girl seems hot af. Well you cant get them allAfter some comments I think I have to add more information to make it more clear.
- This is not an NTR focused game.
I guess the update is not about Ava love path or Zoe path. I replay the whole game and nothing change.I wonder why if i load my lastest save, it still ends just after, wont let me start day 7, do i need to start all over?
You on the same paths as me, well geuss have to wait then longer for those paths to have new days.I guess the update is not about Ava love path or Zoe path. I replay the whole game and nothing change.
I tried all other paths(including Zuni), nothing new.You on the same paths as me, well geuss have to wait then longer for those paths to have new days.
what a rookie mistake. I tried changing it like you said and It doesn't work. Game still ends at the same spot. redownloaded the game changed the file again and now it works, though I am getting errors for several choices. "interestlinda" is not defined for example. Seems this update wasn't ready to go public, was it leaked early? Maybe it's a savefile error. Those do happen often with renpy.The reason why it just ends after the last update is cause the dev forgot to fix the script. The Day 6 script still jumps to the end, instead of jumping to day 7.
Can easily just open it in notepad++ (or just notepad) and scroll to the bottom of the day6 story script and change jump end, to jump day7.
