Man, I make one-fifth of what you earn monthly, and the test build I spent months working on — which I first released for the $30 tier — got leaked in just two hours. It's honestly incredibly demoralizing. Some people have absolutely no respect for the time and effort that goes into making something quality. What they don't realize is that doing this doesn't just hurt the game's development( by not giving the developer time to fix any bugs, not allowing time to gather feedback from supporters and address shortcomings, etc. ) — it also completely kills any motivation indie developers have to keep going. It’s honestly hard to believe how careless and selfish some people can be. At least wait a day or two, right?
"Yeah, a little bit of restraint is something people should have if they truly love the game... But you know what? Even those who aren't able to support you financially — if they're truly loyal followers — they still genuinely love and appreciate your work. You're leaving a mark in their lives, bro. Your efforts are not going to waste. You're probably inspiring more people than you even realize."

Thanks, found the 2nd one, didn't find the 1st one though. Remember the specific sentence?
Sure, i checked again.

MC - Look at those boobs. God damn, Madelynn!
MC - I was.
[Boner animation]
Suzie - A-anon?

I guess it's the A-a babbling that was the problem in the fist place. Hard to make it work with custom names. Maybe you could go with D-darling or something like this.

By the way, i must say: a lot of supposed NTS games are about a cuck who says "look how not cuck i am!!". Moonripple Lake is finally NTS done right. I only remember another game nailing the NTS relationship as well, i can't recall the title now. It was about some eldritch entity wanted to come back to rule the world and stuff. But it would probably be marked as off topic if i actually look for the title. The game so fare is great. I really hope the relationship between the characters will keep being of mutual respect or optional otherwise, so the game will keep being this level of enjoyable.

Thank you!
I didn't find it because of the double-take stutter, you're right.
Fixed it. Will be in next release or maybe I'll make a hotfix patch if there's time. 1744791816624.png

My take on the leak/piracy:
F95 boostrapped my game, gave it the initial boost in audience it needed so it'd be hypocritical of me to bemoan piracy. Especially seeing how I've pirated shit all my life. I'm of the belief that good content gets the support it deserves eventually, though. Like I was saying earlier in Discord, I still remember pirating Dragon Age: Origins as a kid and then loving it so much that I went out and bought it, and replayed it a literal dozen times over the years (That 2000-2011 Bioware was something else, man).

So yeah anyway, I knew the leak would happen eventually, but I did not expect a Backer tier to blow their load so quick :geek:
It didn't hurt me, but the supporters that paid exclusively for the early access. I feel bad for those.
I appreciate the support you guys are showing though, patreon supporter numbers are near-back to the pre-hiatus numbers.
Thanks and much more Suzie/MC's gf to come :BootyTime:

Agreed 100% - this is one of the few that to me gets the tone right, it's hard to put into words. MC's not overly domineering in a way that masks insecurity, but also rolls with the punches - comes off like a genuine confidence.

A totally random connection: seeing a lot of stuff and service in the game's world branded "Banama Cream" like the pizza delivery, made me think of Ubik novel from P.K.Dick where random products branded 'Ubik' kept popping out in the story (there was a clear reason).

Man, the update was so hot I had to call the fire department and ambulance to put out my fire downstairs, and others to resuscitate my heart which couldn't take it from such content I you're beautiful I'm already anxious to give money again for the new version of the game :devilish::giggle::cool::ROFLMAO:

Also, during the truth or dare, when Cee and Suzie stick out butts for Drago, dialog line 'How's... this', Cee has testicles even if the fwmboys/trap option is off.
Yeah I overwrote the proper one during development.
You can drop the fixed image (get it here in ) into /game/images/ and overwrite the one that's already there as a quick fix.
I'd upload it here, but it's too big.

The update was definitely very hot, definitely worth the wait. Cee being a schrodinger's femboy is kinda funny ngl. I don't even know which version of her is sexier, I might need to keep 2 save files just for her. Btw is the choice set in stone once we get to her reveal or can it be changed midgame? :LUL:
