>Big Bold Text saying Development is paused in the main page
So does the "On Hold" tag not exist anymore on this site or what?

The On Hold is put in place when the developer personally asks for it.
Since the lastest update was in november, and the next release is scheduled to be in april, so it won't take the six months needed to get the Abandoned tag, I think he just didn't bother to do it.

Yeah I didn't even know about that tag. Anyway, I should probably remove "Development is paused", since Ive already been actively developing for a while now. And yes, April :)

Sometimes a game could easily implement alternative routes to every scene between the MC and other girls, on a consensual sharing context. It may sound like an easy "harem" approach but doesn't have to be, for example, the bakery scene could be recycled LATER if the MC stops it, eventually tells Suzy about it and she tells him to go ahead. The same rendering material could be used with a different text and, with the possibility of cheating still present, it allows for players to chose how they want to portray the MC and their relationship.

The problem with games that implement "virtue" in a lewd context is that, while you're playing to enjoy lewd or kinky situations, you're also avoiding some, often with double standards. In this case, the MC not only shares his girl, but even asks her if she's attracted to other guys (the bartender, for example), yet he seems to be afraid of sharing his own temptations with her. He even seems uncomfortable with them, which, in the context of their relationship, feels strange, as he could instead start wondering how Suzy would like seeing him getting lewd with other girls... As a character, Susy seems to be comfortable enough with it - the scene at the pitfire was pretty well written. It would be cool if sharing games also included cuckquean content with the FMC. Good game design would make most of it optional, by simply suppressing content we don't like, rather than making us choose between kinks if we're actually ok with most of them.

I understand some players prefer to focus on the FMC and would feel like cheating spoils their experience, and don't mind the game being focused about appreciating the FMC's lewdness, with the MC's role being secondary. Can't argue with that, it's about personal preference, only saying a game could be designed to appeal to both through choices, so that those who self-insert more and prefer not to feel like "they" are taking on a passive role can enjoy the full experience. If I wasn't clear enough, not saying there aren't people who can enjoy a passive MC, my whole point is that I don't, and would therefore prefer to have a path where the dynamic between MC and FMC were mostly balanced, while still focusing on the relationship - no harem needed.

MCs machinations to set FMC to want to flirt/play with others will have unintended consequences of her wanting to share him too, as you noted was hinted at at the firepit :)

I don't see the kinetic novel tag, so would it be a choice not to fuck other girls? I only want my girlfriend to fuck with other guys.

Thanks for replying, that's does sound cool. Not trying to sound too apologetic about my previous post, it's just that a great satisfaction I got from your game was that both MC and FMC were fully invested and excited about their "machinations", and that it really "spiced up" their own love life instead of replacing it with something different. In these games this is a take that rarely stands for long, from what I've seen. Most often there's the "spiral out of control" trope and the MC taking the back seat, or turning to cheating on the FMC, while enjoying her only through others, with the focus shifting away from their physical intimacy as a couple.

My fantasy, however unrealistic it may seem, is that a couple can share and even push each other's limits without any of them ever seeming uncaring, or losing intimacy, or even transferring part of that intimacy to others (flings remain casual). Think you got it just right with the entire firepit episode, including the scene with the drunk man - the only "clouds on the horizon" is that all that fun resulted in them coming home drunk and exhausted and going straight to bed, and what could have been a kinky episode between them, stemming from their conversation about the phone messages, ended up with the MC just jerking of thinking about his wife with another guy. I stress that this is just how it struck me personally, and probably just because it was the final scene of the update, feeling like there was something "less" there, than on their previous fiery exchanges. Even if she only kept teasing as he jerked, putting his thoughts into dialogue instead, it would have felt like a shared thing. As others already pointed out, it doesn't feel the same way to everyone and especially if the story resumes their previous connection it won't even stand out.

Best of luck with your game!

I mean, I don't mind that happening, as long as the focus keeps being Suzie :p I will probably play two playtroughs then, one with the MC being only for Suzie and one where they both share each other around xD
But no MC cheating on the best girl with the bakery women! If she wants it she has to wait until Suzie gives her okay for me xDDDD

Yes, unless I feel like it's integral to the story, you can avoid sticking your dick into non-suzie holes.


Thanks! :)

very good news from patreon!

[Announcement] Hiatus over
Hey everyone!
I'm glad to let you guys know that things have settled down in life, and I've been working on the game daily now for a while - so I feel like this is the time to announce the hiatus officially over :)

If you missed it, I'm making Episode 4 with more content than I initially planned, and you can expect it to come out April, as I've mentioned in Patreon chat & Discord.

I'll be reopening reorganized tiers again sometime by the end of this month.
Meanwhile, I'd like to take this chance to express my gratitude to those of you who have been going out of your way to support me during this hiatus, despite there being no tiers or benefits. Thank you very much!

I'm happy I can regularly work on the game again, and hopefully no more major setbacks happen for the foreseeable future... Suzie & Anon are soon coming back!

Talk to you all later,
BCG
