It varies. Generally the time between updates have been increasing, however only some of this is attributed to increases in complexity/content. I think the general goal is 1-2 months, but this will also depend on story allocation for a given chapter. In the end this is also a creative endevour, so its not possible to give a cemented schedule.

 

[KingsRaiden]

A nice netorase story, liking the situations here and the art. Nice to see this handled well with the exploration and increasing situations so its not a sudden jump into something.

 

[morgoth000]

I think the story is going great. I hope the project continues. I can't wait for Vi and Maki to meet. Then the excitement will increase even more. But I don't think the next episode will be as high-tension as this episode.

 

[SymbioticLife]

Will there be a second photo session with Vi in chapter 5 ?

No, he answered this on the discord after last chapter, there will be another photoshoot but it makes no sense for her to immediately get called in again, besides it'd be repetitive.

Not quite sure what's planned for Ch05. I don't think there has been much free-info in regards to the content unless I missed it.

We actually do know some of what is planned for chapter 5, again on the discord he mentioned after last chapter what the opening scene would be and he's given breadcrumbs about other scenes.

In general I say join the discord if you want any early info. But I will leave one little breadcrumb myself, CG posted a background in the discord a while back. A pool scene will be involved.

 

[Sossse]

has there been any "breadcrumbs" about what might happen between eric and his younger sister?

having to DM the dev to get into discord is so annoying... i often sub for releases and then drop the sub after to support him, but having to message him every time is so annoying. i wish he would find a way to make that easier

I'd argue sending a message isn't that big a hurdle personally. There is a way to link patreon subs with your discord server, I'm not sure the difficulty in setting that up retroactively is probably part of the issue (IE: it might instantly kick everyone off who is not linked for starters) and also I think CG frankly doesn't mind there being a small hurdle to joining.

He doesn't link the discord server to Patreon due to Patreon guidelines, this way he can share everything he and the community wants without worrying about Patreon checking the server and banning his page if they find out something that break their rules.

 

[PatreonTed]

Because I played it. Is it against the rules to have criticism ?
I dislike the story only, meanwhile I like the art style a lot - I think it's one of the best 2D art styles I've seen so far.
That's why I thought I'd leave my opinion as there's definitely a draw for this game even to people who aren't into NTx stuff.

I guess it depends if you're one of those people that leaves a poor review on a Mexican restaurant and includes the commentary "I don't like Mexican restaurants".

I feel like even beyond that his complaint is a little off base even ignoring genre. And I think the last chapter showed Eric has backbone, he just needs to grow into things more. I feel it'd be far less interesting if Eric had no growth of his own as well. But how one can watch the final sequence of last chapter and think Eric is stricly a passenger is a little wild to me.

Compared to most other NTS games on the site Eric actually has a lot of "maneuverability" as somebody pretty aptly said a couple pages back.

it's still annoying, but that's a pretty good reason, good to know

 

[swiver]

Long, but really interesting post.

Cool preface... sorry, I am of a long wind, I suppose.

IMHO the MC is not a sadistic boyfriend but a man with a fantasy.

No, he isn't sadistic as in hateful, vindictive of the sense I mean here (though certainly sadistic, the sexual preference, in enjoying dishing pain and being submitted to etc.). But I disagree, kind of, on him having a fantasy, I think it's more he's developing it, partially under influence, both direct (active encouragement) and indirect (he's sensing tendencies in his girl, and he's somehow enjoying them).

I think every man in his life had or have the fantasy to see his fiancee or wife taking a stranger cock.
Who likes to expose her wife or gf has this kink, too.

Well, I don't know about that...

I don't agree that her having ANY previous experience is NTR either way

No, not either way. But that felt like something threatening, and I think even was written with a hint of it I think. Young person, early GF, hard in love ("the one" type stuff) and then the creeping "have they said/done/felt this before?". It's a common enough issue in relationships and across genders. It is not NTR, to be sure. But in the wider sense we've come to use the term to denote the fetishization of these types of insecurities/suspicions involving the love-interest enjoying/preferring others.... like, I'm saying if they add a bit more in that direction, including the feel of rising doubts and nightmarish discoveries, and you're immmersed enough, you might get that stomache-turning feeling which some NTR-tropes are all about.

But yea, Vi definitely is the primary instigator but not only does Eric love it, but she pushes him to punish her because she wants him to be a part of the whole cycle and not just a spectator to it.

I would go so far as to say, if we liberate our perspective from the expectation/bias of knowing the genre, this VN could be seen as a rather straightforward corruption story. And MC is the one being corrupted.

I don't think all sadism = losing respect though, BDSM involves sadism but the sadist can still love the masochist. From what I've gleaned from past conversations months ago there will be some growing sadism on Eric's part, but I don't think any of that will be sadism outside of the bedroom. In other words, it would be sadism connected to kink, not sadism connected to any actual change in how he sees Vi.

Surely I meant these not as synonyms but different scenarios. So, yes, what I mean is that he isn't just a dom kinkster (yet), nor a more extreme just-a-dom that doesn't do GF/BF stuff really, and certainly not the more mainstream meaning of antisocial etc. where she's just a victim.

I agree, they are having him discover his enjoyment of gagging, slapping, etc. Part of the brilliance here, it takes you back to when you discovered this stuff.

wait Is that what I'm liking here?
Is this just a coming-of-age, nostalgia trip and our favourite filthy smut turns out to be wholesome?
... there shrinks the id

He has given no release date, considering he did the comic after last release then had some PC issues I doubt it's this year. But who knows. Ultimately as with most creative endeavours dev time can vary a lot.

 

[DovahKing111]

After playing the game, in many moments there is a feeling that the dev in text leaves himself a reserve for the future in terms of making the game not kinetic, but inserting a choice into it.
"You're pretty sure you won't be jealous, etc." to which MC always replies that "come on, tease me harder, i like it".

I'm not a fan of NTS, i don't like it at all, but i don't tell the dev how to make his game, it's just my opinion and he wrote on the front page that while there is no choice in the game, and it is purely NTS - the keyword FOR A WHILE! If the dev adds a choice to the game after completing the NTS ending, it will be a big plus, the choice can attract a lot of people to this game!
For example, at the moment when Vi invite MC to the mall and Maki offers him to take a photo of her bare breasts in exchange for that he will not go with Vi, the paths can opens here:
- to refuse the offer of Maki: vanilla-love path
and here, depending on the choice, invite Sai to the "show" with you in several pahts:
- let Sai watсh(or not at all) a little time and then banish him away: vanilla path
- Sai watсh for a long time and takes a photo: NTS path
- Sai can do "too much more": cucold path
- agree and stay with Maki: NTR path for Vi, because she will meet Sai in the mall and give him a "private show", about which MC will find out or suspect on "Instafup".

I emphasize once again that this is just my subjective opinion, i'm not trying to influence the development of the game, but adding different paths would make the game cooler and more interesting!

As i already wrote, NTS is not mine, and when a seemingly "good girl" turns into a turbo-slut in front of everyone's eyes, it becomes not interesting.

yup i stopped when Anya starts having thoughts of turning into a slut from being a innocent girl, overnight. so everyone around you is just gonna turn into a deviant slut that wants to bang everyone? lame and boring cuck logic. i tried to give it a chance to see if some girls would be off limits to other dudes and be exclusive to the player, especially those related to the mc, but no, doesn't appear to be heading in that direction....also think they missed an opportunity with Violet with a romance, love path....but the dev needs to corrupt them ALL.....

....she starts out as the sweet, innocent archetype girl and she constantly says things like "i can stop if you don't like it" or "i don't want to upset you. never." and at least many times she always wants to double check with the mc if something is ok for her to do but the player has no control or choice or say in anything so....which makes the game boring as well because it makes the mc feel like he is just blowing in the wind being passive about everything. what kind of man would want his mom hanging around a nefarious slut like sonia who parades your moms ass around town for all the men to see?? and the mc just says "as long as she's happy" lmao, completely fucking useless mc. and i'm sure that is only the introduction of your mom becoming a whore in this game.....the game needs choices badly and split paths love or NTR paths for the girls as some of the girls were actual good girls and it's silly/ridiculous they turn into insatiable sluts....had a lot of potential because of the art and the girls are hot but i'm tapping out of this one..

 

[Deleted member 1364951]

While i always support the freedom of speech, i simply can't understand people who are complaining about NTS game in a NTS game. I mean you can complain about writing, art style etc but complaining about NTS while dev uses the word NTS 3 times even in the description is nonsense to me. Like what were you expecting?

For keeping some characters exclusive stuff, i think i can agree with that. I think dev is playing it too safe to not to piss off fans of specific characters. It is clear all LIs will get NTSed and it is also clear MC will sleep with all of them. None will stay in pure NTS or love path. Anya could stay entirely exclusive to MC while Maki is entirely NTS or vice versa. But it is clear that is not happening. Dev knows if Anya followed love route there would be people who complain about absence of NTS for her and reverse for sole NTS LIs. I think to create a good story you can't give everyone everything, since it makes the game shallow.

This choice of direction makes a linear game even more linear to me, but judging by the number of patreons it definitely paid off for the dev.

One last thing. There are devs who frequently visit this forum and there are ones who don't care about it. This one is the second type. So don't expect anything to change.
