I'm not talking anyone down? I'm just trying to understand what people want. I'm doing exactly what you're doing, voicing my opinion on the game as someone who enjoys MNGF.
Why would you want to understand what people want for MNGF if you have no influence on the game?

Look man, I like MNGF and SOA for different reasons. I really like your game and have tons of respect for the quality of your work. But I think it's fair that a lot of us are pointing out that the games are getting more and more similar. Similarities I pointed out previously. I just don't think you shouldn't be taking it personally, getting passive aggressive, and inserting that we are saying your game is shit (your words, not ours) or that we want Eric to become a cuck.

I know, but all criticism is something I take to heart. After all, I played a lot of AVN's before I decided to create one myself. I'm sorry if I came over as passive aggressive as that's definitely not what I want. I'm just trying to understand better what people like and why. The only reason I came here was to clear up confusion that I have any sort of influence over this game.

Take criticism with a grain of salt - you can't make everyone happy and the most vocal people tend to be the extremists.

My criticism is I wanted MNGF to move slower (like many critics here), but it is Circle's game to decide. I still consider both games to be top tier and like the cross-overs.
Just because they're loud and outspoken doesn't mean they represent the majority of the fan base. Many of us are happy with the pace.

Bro your fine. While I'm not camping in your game's thread, it's a solid game I enjoy. These people are being ridiculous. I don't see any of your comments as being critical of MNGF or passive aggressive. They just want you to shut up and listen to their ramblings.

Yeah, as the post up above implies, it is all good man. I enjoy both games even though each toy with my limits lol. The artwork is great and the characters work for me...for the most part. I cannot speak for others, but speaking for myself, it was not a pacing issue specifically. Or rather it was not that it was too slow, it was that it was the wrong set up for the event. As I said before, if she does her first oral with another guy in Cha5 in the alley. That would have worked better in my eyes. It would have also let the Cha6 scene stand up better as it would have been an more natural escalation to doing such with a stranger. Once you pass on Cha 5, it felt to soon to go back in Cha6 in that setting area.

There would still have been some impact to her doing stranger "work" but it would have been far less divisive. It would also then allow the Eric and Ari scene to play out as it did as that to me seemed an obvious setup by VI anyways.

No, we want to be able to have constructive conversations about the game without being attacked, as you are doing right now. Having differing opinions isn't ridiculous.

I'm pretty sure things were just cleared up when I said I like his game and respect him a lot. That isn't me trying to shut him up. Yet here you are stirring the pot again for no reason. You seem to like to cause conflict in this thread...

Clearly a troll. Anyways, moving on because no one has time for children.
Okay you're going on the ignore list. Complains about people not being able to take criticism. Can't take criticism. I'm not going to deal with this brand of personality disorder.

Fair enough man. Just know I don't think any was trying to criticize you or your game. At least that wasn't my intent. Much love.

I don't get the people who think that Violet's story was rushed or that her corruption needed to be slower. 6 chapters have now passed with sexy stuff happening all around her. She had the first deviant shoot and wore "Blacked" underwear. She grabbed Sai's dick in the club while Ari sucked him off, she performed a double BJ in a dirty alley with Sai watching and jerking off. The double BJ seemed to finally unlock something in her as we hear her thoughts all through this latest chapter. She's turned on. She wants to experiment. All during the photo shoot she was teasing Bruce and he was teasing her back. She is ready to go wild.

Vi is an 18-20 year old senior in high school or is just starting university in the story. She recently started dating Eric, hence the title "My New Girlfriend". Too many people on here act like Violet is Eric's property. She isn't. She's an independent, horny young woman and TONS of young women at that age fool around. I know from my own college experience that I saw lots of girls who were supposedly dating guys that I knew, fooling around with other dudes at parties and some of them even fooled around with me. A lot of young people do stuff like that at that age. A lot don't but it still happens.

This idea of Eric "having" to be there to coach or communicate with Violet as she engages in debauchery comes from a place where the man is in control, where women can only do things with a man's permission or encouragement. Well, Eric has been encouraging her by pretty much just standing by or allowing things to happen in the scenes where Violet has been involved so I don't see the big deal with her blowing Luke at the photo shoot. (I just wish it had been Bruce). She even told Eric to go to to Ariana's right away and sent the pics to her knowing that Eric would fuck her friend.

Anya, on the other hand, I get that argument. Eric is her step bro and just because she got a dildo and watched Maki suck off Rob at the club she's all of a sudden turned into a nympho and was ready to suck off Eric in the dressing room. Her Step Bro who she knows has a girlfriend! LOL (BTW, I don't get the step sis and step mom thing. Is Anya Laura's child from another guy who later married Eric's Dad who then later left his family or died? LOL. I don't get the whole dynamic so maybe Circle can expand on that a bit in the future.)

Anyway, If Circle wants to change something then maybe slow down Anya a little bit but just leave the Violet story alone. Everyone commenting on this thread recently has played the latest chapter so any significant plot revisions will just seem weird after seeing what happened during the latest release.

I've only seen people crying about the game being stretched out to milk the paying audience and how Vi will never engage in anything with other dudes. That's atleast what you've been reading the weeks prior to release. Some of these guys are thread-banned now I'm assuming as they were mostly just talking shit about anything and everything, but yeah.

But kinda funny reading the thread these past few days. It's either people crying that Vi's progression isn't fast enough or will never happen, or people saying it's too fast. Well I guess in the end the dev can't make everyone happy. :D

Not to be a pain, but a lot of people — including the dev himself — disagree with what you said. They think Vi’s scene wasn’t done in the best way, so he’s going to review and adjust it. That’s common across media (books, films, comics, etc.); in movies, for example, there are test screenings before release to decide what to change. The difference is that, most of the time, these conversations between creators, editors, and reviewers happen in private and the public never even hears about them.

Tbf, the milking accusations have really died down. which surprises me, it's a nice change of pace. discussions seem better now, even if there's still some logically deficient people around, but it's harmless.

You never take your chance to just be quiet when receiving an opinion different from agreement my gosh, insuferabble.

Yeah sure that's what I want omggg you read me like an open booooook!! (s)
He's right though, the game isn't a harem. it's at most harem-esque which still doesn't qualify as a harem, though those assumptions of his aren't a good look honestly.

Which game you're talking about? Sorry

If it's SoA, I disagree. It's pretty much a harem game were sometimes the FMC also have a bit of fun. It was a NTS game before, shortly became swinging and now it's pretty much a harem game were the male MC has full control over the girls (with the exception of the dommy personality girl).

If it's MNGF, then I totally agree. Never said it was a full-on harem game. I only said in the recent review of Ch. 6 that it leaned a bit more to harem than before, comparing different chapters of the same game (MC had a lust moment with step-mom, almost got a bj from his step-sis and got sex+anal from his gf's friend, while Vi got... a sexy photoshoot and a not-totally-revealed bj), clearly the chapter favored more the MC getting laid overall and it lost a bit of it's balance.
