... Is this any different from what creators have done in virtually every medium?

I think we shouldn’t compare gigantic production companies with one-man productions. Also, if big companies communicate in advance about their extended/shared universe projects, it’s for a reason. They don’t prepare their audience ahead of time for nothing.

Here, we just have two guys having fun. I even suspect (though I could be wrong, of course) that we’re more in a situation like, ‘Can I use this?’ ‘Yeah, I don’t care, do whatever you want,’ or ‘Hey, what if we did a cross-feature?’ ‘Okay…’
Basically, a full-speed-ahead approach, with each one having their own story idea and not worrying too much about the rest.

Except from the player’s perspective (and even worse, the backers), it might not be as cool because the two project share a big chunk of the same public!
That’s what I was trying to say (maybe clumsily, and I apologize if that’s the case) in my previous post…

No offence, bro, but what the actual fuck are you waffling about? You're just typing to type at this point.

The developers promote each other's games on their Patreon feeds when the other one releases an update, and they have cameos of characters from each other's games. They are - at best - friends, and - at worst - cordial acquaintances. There is no "feud", and it's not some one-sided "urgh, this fucker wants to ride on my coat tails, sure, I don't care, do whatever you want" thing. They probably just thought it was a fun crossover idea and coordinated it together.

Also, SoA's last update was fuckin' massive. The club was like...what, a fifth of the content? If somebody thinks SoA's last update somehow wasn't "worth it" because it featured a club scene - like MNG did in its last update - then, like...that person's a moron?

Don’t start like that when you know full well you’ll try hard to be offensive. At the very least… it’s immature.

And don’t put words in my mouth. That’s what dumbasses of all kinds do, and like everything dumbasses do, it’s irrelevant.

I’m speaking from a pirate site with the data available there. If Patreons are aware of a joint announcement implying an official crossover, they can correct me, no problem. As long as they don’t act like dumbasses, of course.

‘Feels like,’ ‘Sounds like,’ ‘Seems like,’ doesn’t mean ‘It is’… Okay, sure, that’s a nuance dumbasses usually don’t get, but that’s not my problem.

If the latest update is ‘massive,’ it doesn’t change what I’m saying. It’s irrelevant (!) and not an argument to invalidate my remarks.

Have a good day Sir.

Just a weird opinion, but an opinion nonetheless and I respect it. I play both games... I don't support either of them due to my financial situation, but for me, they seem completely different. Both games have a club scene and both have a similar color scheme? Welcome to AI generated content..., For me, what's important, is the content. The club scene in MNGF is completely different from the one in SoA. Based on what was said this update, it seems like a beach scene is coming up with quite a few characters, if you're gonna shout, MNGF did a beach scene, that other game is doing a copy-pasta, then you're just a plain old idiot. If the scenes were identicial content wise, for example Milo getting a handjob from Alice, then yeah, I'd say it's the same, but it's not. Also this game has a very simple plot, while the other is actually building a story besides all the sex which is nice to see and read.

Some people should be banned from commenting or reviewing games on this forum. There's no NTR = Bad game, or why do we have to wait multiple updates before the GF fucks another guy = You're spoiled by Netorase Manga.

At this point I'm just going on a rant, from my perspective both games have their qualities and seem to be going in seperate directions, but also stay in touch with eachother, which is great for someone that enjoys both and would love to see more cross-overs.

The club scene in SoA was mostly roughly planned before Abyss even knew what CG was doing with his club scene. Every other scene in our respective last chapters is entirely different.

I dont want to derail this thread more than it has been but theres absolutely no feud. CG is an amazing dev, but we are not privy to his plans months in advance so yeah, occasionally we will accidentally overlap in areas when we are trying to catch some similar vibes in many ways.

Also the review by abirvg was spot on, bravo. This game has a huge amount of possibilities and often goes in ways one doesnt expect. And of course you never know if its the MC or somebody else who will be the main center of attention for the girls in any given scene.

Somebody actually did ask a few pages back if people on the discord prefer nts or stepcest. That is nearly impossible to answer in any sort of scientific manner, but based on suggestions/feedback/fan art that gets posted and the reactions to these I think both are very popular but NTS moreso. There has been plenty of fan art and ideas for both though.

Yes, but actually no! Because you can tune the general tone/color atmosphere with your prompt. IF you end up with the same thing, it just means you used a default LoRa without tuning it. And at worst, in post prod, you can take all your backgrounds (for a specific area) and change the hue or whatever... This is the kind of thing that makes me say there’s a bit of laziness in that regard.

I generally agree. The story will always be the most important part, and the backgrounds, as long as you spend a minimum amount of time on them, are secondary. But when too many things start giving you a sense of déjà vu, both in writing and in the settings/backgrounds, at some point, the cup overflows, and what was excusable until then suddenly doesn’t pass anymore… :sick:

You’re quoting me, but I’m sure I’ve never brought up the topic of NTR or anything related over this board. So I don’t have much to say about that remark, except that yes, the flame wars that come from it can be pretty annoying…

Pretty much agree if I set aside my criticism of the form and a few annoying repetitions I mentioned.
If, and I hope so, these two devs are planning a coherent world together, the whole thing has serious potential…

Also it is wildly known that some of the games are backed up here ratings wise. So trusting a game’s ratings/patron numbers is nothing but nonsense.

Nah, if you know how to give a low rating with good explanation, then it will not be deleted. 90% of the low ratings are just people who don't like the genre (they don't even talk about the game) or have some beef with the developer.

I can prove you otherwise. In fact i will.

Genuinely very rare for me to give a bad review. The only times I do is if its offensively bad. Like it barely can run. My criteria is : good art, good dialogue, good characters, with only two of those I will give a 4/5.

I haven't review MNG because its just... not really my type of genre?

I am hopeful more is released but there is not enough content for me yet to really engage with .
