Early on after the release of MHB, I fell into the trap of wanting to appease everyone. I made some posts, engaged in some ways I shouldn't have, and nearly altered the course of the story (such as adding/removing scenes, or creating a new ending). Some of my words my have been misleading, confusing, or outright false. I've regained my senses, reminded myself this is for myself first, and you guys are invited spectators that are free to jump off the train if it's not going where you want to go.

Is there a main character and who is it? Vivian the center of the story for sure. Everything essentially revolves around her and creates the scenarios the others respond to. But I don't thinks she's really all that interesting, to be honest. Her motivates, while leading to sexy adventures, are not that complicated. To say that Hutch is more interesting (but maybe not the main character), might be a better way to describe him. Vivian gets her inner monologue as a short cut. Some things are to complicated to express in still renders or would require more extensive blocks of dialogue that would turn off the viewer. While I don't 'identify myself as the main male protagonist' in these games, as a guy I still empathize with them. I guess my goal is to have the viewer (nearly all men) to have some connection to him. I don't want to give him an inner monologue because I hope that the reader will do that for themselves. To deduce his mindset from his actions/reactions. Or to just let it be a mystery. I'm not educated in story telling. Maybe this is a flawed idea.


I think the reader can ask that for themselves as well. Ultimately this story becomes yours when you watch it. You decide who the story is about. Some may empathize with Hutch. Some just want Vivian to be the town bicycle.

Yes, I think some people will jump off the train as the story progresses and the character arcs become set. I wish I could release v0.4 and v0.6 together as I think they balance each other out (vivian vs. hutch). But I won't do that to you guys. I will warn the newer participants here that v0.4 is focused on Vivian and v0.6 is focused on Hutch. Wasn't planned that way, just is.

Yes, I think the ending will divide the remaining viewers. But I hope with each scene, from simple text exchange to raunchy sex, the viewer understands why it is happening based on the character's personality. A one paragraph discription of MHB might make someone beleive it's just another cookie cutter NTR story, but I believe with each release you will say to yourself "Damn! I didn't see that coming" but also see that it fits the story. And that includes the ending.

Yes, the last teaser is from v0.4.

No, the original backyard/bedroom scene will not be extensively shown. Again, early on I was trying to appease people but showing it was not part of the original plan. It is addressed in a couple way in the next two releases but it won't be a fully rendered, retelling from Vivian's or Chris' POV. It needed to happen to establish the rest of the story. It happened quickly in order to get to the rest of the story.

I'll do a progress update at the first of the month. Thanks.

I wish more devs came to this level of realization and made their games for their vision. Sink or swim. Too many get caught up in people pleasing and it shows, because then their games are all over the place and distracted.

Ahhhhh another weak husband...And a wife that not even needed any steps to corrupt.Wasnt that hard to blackmail too..
But in any case the emotions are there and you can see the hurt and angst and the tears that emotions bring.On that note yours story represent them on full contact.Taking your quote to treat it as a movie and we are the viewer brings out how great quality your work is.Hell i hate how the couple behaves.How both of them are weak characters in life.I want to strangle them both lol.And thats always a good story when it brings something out of you.Good luck with your project mate!

Couldn't agree more about the corruptible soft core of the husband and wife-completely contemptible..it took nothing for her to cum up with a slut solution and for him to fold into immediate despair. Must be a back story to explain such a primed to fail marriage. Also agree about the emotional realism of these faulted characters. Her angst over cheating felt real and his despair too. I compare the skim coat of guilt in a character like Sophia Parker to Vivian and the former becomes a cartoon.Vivian churns the story hot around her. One of the best sexy Milf's out there. Great hair, great eyes, great body and ..great sexy taste in Milf cloth's. Keep the movie coming.

Welp... I really thought this was going to have some type of revenge plot, but nope just another cuck husband with a slut wife.

The mechanic, her students, her son's friends... The husband gave her the green light, so they'll all get a turn with his approval.

What I like about NTR is the behind the back aspect, so now that it's out in the open it has lost its appeal. Anyway the game has beautiful renders, story is good and for awhile it managed to get some emotion out of me, but I'm honestly tired of cuck husbands.

Good luck to the dev, but the game died for me right here:

Have to agree. With such a weak and depressed husband she's just a single woman care taking a grown child and can fuck away at will without guilt. He can't have been in sales for 20 years! Husband character is a fail in this story..
