This is a nice start, not enough stealth groping in particular even in NTR games and it seems like a pretty high effort production. I think I'll wait and see how the next update looks before jumping on the patreon or what have you but I'm pretty hopeful.
CulturedGamer do you have an update schedule in mind at the moment?
I don't want to make any promises or unrealistic deadlines all I'll say is I don't have a job and I'm working on the game every day, hopefully after a few updates you'll get an understanding of the type of schedule the game will have, I know that's not very reassuring but It's only a two man team at the moment, hopefully if I can find some additional writers we can pick up production speed.
Also I'm not really sure why there's a civil war in the thread I mean I guess I do...
i was trying to reply to every question but there's like 100 of them at this point talking about the same shit so....
The game is meant to be focused on netorare and netorase There wouldn't be a netori route, but there would be your vanilla hero get's the girl/harem route, BUT that's not the main focus because as I said it's a small team and doing all that would basically make it so nothing of either route ever gets any satisfactory progress.
however that potential route is being kept in mind with the progression of the story so it will be easier to implement later such as scenes where you would see a heroine starting to get harassed would be set up so you'd have the option of intervening before anything happens.
the combat is definitely taking inspiration from Saria reclaimed, karryn's prison and nymphomaniac priestess, it won' be in depth as those as it's more meant to act as flavour to keep the combat interesting as you progress the characters stories through your traditional dating sim/visual novel style stuff
that's why there's only one image right now for combat for Saphira, there will be more images added to that, but the current idea is the battle fuck system is mostly going to be about teasing and harassing, with this game's unique spin being you the player being in background watching it happen and having similar splash images pop up of the protagonist protesting or being beat up by some bandits while the rest harass the heroine,
there's an unfinished lust mechanic than when full Saphira will leave to go masturbate or do something with one of the villains if they're also in the party while the protagonist acts as a punching bag.
Maybe it's miscommunication but the idea of the name netorare god is more of a play on manga and light novels specifically chinese one where they have some absurd name like the the emperor of all mankind or the alchemist god, emperor's domination
the original name was I got transmigrated into a fantasy world and still ended up being a loser felt kind of long although keeping with the theme of most light novels was probably going to be annoying and is now more of the tagline now to netorare god.
There are a lot of problems with the demo like the mac version apparently not working which I am trying to fix and it's not really a case of it being rushed out it's more I've been sitting on this for a while and felt like If I didn't put it out nothing was going to ever get released and I wanted to at least get some feedback which has been amazing both the positive and negative, I appreciate all the criticism no matter how hard as it will help make the game better.
every now and then there will be teaser updates on the discord/patreon page giving updates on how progress is going if you're interested in how the game's development is travelling and I'll chime in here as well time to time with those same updates for people who rather just watch this thread.
netorare isnt my favourite fetish or my most hated it's just one of them so I don't really have any problems with the NTR people or the non NTR people or constantly asking questions about the ntr that's fine.
maybe i'm more new to the forum so I'm missing a lot of the context and hate surrounding ntr.
It would be nice if people stopped insulting each other
regarding the protagonist being dense or dumb or stupid that's kind of the point in that generally a lot of these protagonists come across as indignant and arrogant and expecting everything to go their way which is kinda what I wanted to poke fun at.
as for the first person narrations vs third person narration that's one thing that will be cleared up in the next version, you'll have the choice of pure first person with no internal monologue of the heroines and the third person narration of scenes the protagonist isn't apart of or you can see them.
anyway thanks for coming to my ted talk its current 11am and I've been awake for the past 19 hours writing dialogue for the next update and sorting out a bunch of other shit so this is probably going to be an incoherent mess that causes more problems and questions than it answers so...
I do really appreciate everyone's input even the criticism so please keep going and letting me know, I know there's a bunch of bugs which I hope to address in the next update as well as releasing new content so please look forward to it.
come hang out in the discord or dm me on discord(CulturedGamer#3147) if you have any other input you'd like to let me know and I am also looking for additional writers and potentially RPGM map makers.
and i'll try to keep communicating with you guys when I can
