VN Ren'Py Moonripple Lake [v0.4.1] [BCG]

I think that optional is generally the way to go. As much as I want to see Anon's fantasy of sharing Suzie become reality, I don't think that anything about it should be forced. One of the hottest things for me is that you can see how in love and horny they are for each other, and that they have a great sex life. Yet they are wanting to explore each other's sharing kinks.
I am only speaking for myself, others may enjoy something else. So as I said, it's usually better to make stuff optional IMO.

Totally agree. It will be impossible to please everyone. Having the options let people see the content they want to see.

The kiss before you get to decide if you want to attack

Man, don’t let whiners push you off course. I’d hate to see the game turn into a 'safe space' for insecure people who can’t handle a challenge.
Isn't the success of the release proof that you did everything right?

If you want to make changes, I urge you to do so only after completing the game or when you are absolutely sure you've made a mistake.

 

[Rob0bob]

Very much agree. Don't alter a thing. Giving in to the complainers and whiners will only ruin your story.

Cara, não deixe que chorões te tirem do caminho. Eu odiaria ver o jogo se transformar em um "espaço seguro" para pessoas inseguras que não conseguem lidar com um desafio.
O sucesso do lançamento não é a prova de que você fez tudo certo?

Se você quiser fazer alterações, recomendo que faça isso somente após completar o jogo ou quando tiver certeza absoluta de que cometeu um erro.
[/CITAR] It really seems like they are trying to control the developer and that could be a problem

My dudes, relax.
It's literally a nothing burger. I just thought the narrative would flow better. It's really not that big of a deal, I was already debating it with myself when going back and looking at scenes to fix (skeeter scene is getting sfx), that guy I replied to about it just happened to mention it.

I replied to one of my supporters:
Hey <x>!
I honestly think the narrative would flow better if I remove the first kiss. The guy that wants to get humiliated by being passive, will get the forced kiss. While if you choose to be aggressive/protective, you have the option to completely avoid that.

No one is controlling me lol

It's a minor change. No need to whine.

I really hope you know what you're doing.
The scene isn’t that big of a deal, especially since I already got the impact.
However, here’s my perspective: the author released a new update that was a great success, as validated by the increase of the Patreon numbers. But after the game was leaked, there were some comments on a pirate forum that seemed to sway the author, leading to a decision to redo the update to cater to those opinions.

I really hope this isn’t influenced by a few people's views, especially since it's impossible to see the full picture based solely on their opinions.
If you’re considering changes for them, it raises concerns about your confidence in the direction you’re taking.

I suggest at least waiting for a couple of releases before redoing the scene.

PS. Once upon a time, there was a non-NTR game called Big Brother, featuring one of the most memorable antagonists in this genre. Even though the game itself wasn't that great, you sincerely hated Eric. The author had the courage to let Eric sleep with one of the love interests, and players could do nothing to prevent it. My point is that sometimes an author can make choices that the majority of the player base dislikes, but those decisions can turn out to be beneficial in the long run (I still hate him).

If it’s a minor change, then why bother making it?

Every game increases subs when an update launches and BB has been dead for years so obviously Erik wasn't that much of a success.

his supporters literally increased by nearly 3x though xD

dev said just earlier because of the narrative.
i don't care if you change it BCG, it's fine. you know what's best for your game!

It wasn’t a sincere question; I was just pointing out the contradiction.
I mean, if you care enough to ask, and the author cares enough to make the change, then it’s obviously just a ‘minor’ tweak... right?

As I said, that one dude's opinion did not influence my decision.
Would be retarded to change content because of non-supporter complainers, and on the other hand not bend to a supporter or two who insist in DMs that Suzie should have drowned in black cock by now

I mean I see you're concerned that the game will go off the rails of what you expected it to be. But in any case don't sweat it, you'll be able to discern in future updates whether I'm being influenced or not, I guess.
Or not? Because you could attribute the decision you don't like to some outside force influencing me

It's as impactful as me adding sfx to a previous scene, imo. Little tweaks.
I change things like this all the time during development, and no one knows...

Anyway, on a happier note, the halloween short update is coming out in 2days for supporters!

That black cock part cracked me up lol.

and I sincerely thank you for this.

 

[rob_trowy_97]

DMs that Suzie should have drowned in black cock by now

Okay, I take all my words back. You absolutely must listen to what others tell you. xD

I'm joking of course. I'm glad to hear it's your decision

Just signed up on Patreon. I could only do Tipper tier for now. But next month I may shuffle around some of my subs. This my first AI AVN I've felt was worth playing. Keep up the good work.

I appreciate any form of support.
Whether it's word of mouth, reviews, financial... it all helps
Thank you!

Any plans for other support platforms (e.g., Subscribestar or Boosty)?

 

[mok135]

Is there an ntr route with a full-ntr ending in the plans? Nothing against it, it is up to the developer whether to add it to the game or not. But I am just wondering if I should cut my losses and move on from the game before investing into it too much.

That's kind of a sore point for me with netorase games and I have seen mentions of it possible being added.
