VN Unity Netorase Phone [v0.14] [Le Stag]

Yeah, i realised that. But other choices do count. Like if you will agree to get more pictures from blondie, you wont get any picture of Laura from her, and Laura herself will post less hot pictures or her squeregram. Also in the last update, that weird number who sends you random girl pictures, sends you a picture of your girlfriend, and some guy with nickname suggesting incoming BBC content asks her for private message on squaregram in comment sections. I find it hot, but i have no clue what are the requirements for that to happen.

I find that switches/flags (whatever is used) kinda get lost when/if you start to replay different chapters and it just kinda goes to a default state. There's a few examples I've noticed this on, but the only one that comes to mind at moment is condom wearing. Again I don't really think it's a big, just the game isn't really set up for paths. I could be wrong.

That weird number is just a random vignette isn't it? I'm sick of trying to trigger them at the moment. The only pictures I need are all from these random texts you get here and there and I'm honestly bored of running through the chapters..

Really? not seen that from either the unknown number or Dre's harem.
I wouldn't read too much into the squaregram comments tbh- think those are there for flavour.

 

[Turian01]

The girl in Dre's harem - Rin - just looks a lot like Laure. It's not her.
Also the Squaregram comments are randomized. So they mean nothing.

Well on the bright side the streamlined paths, even when sometimes not aligning perfectly with your characters personality, means updates come out in a really good pace and that is a luxury in recent days for this industry, especially good games like this!

There is a lot of potential, and i believe in this project.

Well, let's be realistic.
With such a streamlined format the dev can produce a really good and really long story in a very short amount of time.

And I've been telling myself from day 1 - this game has a lot of potential, but....
The only way to bring all potential to this game is implementing real, not pseudo-branching.
Which requires much more work than just generating a few AI images and writing 400 words. And it will be suicidal to try to make this in the middle of project.
It's possible, but dev refuses any help. Even free-of-charge help. He wants to do everything by himself.
So. He has to finish what he is doing and decide if he wants to re-work his game with branching or just move to another project.

We all know the answer.

The Madhouse chat that Ashley created is has SO MUCH POTENTIAL for slow corruption, holy shit that's genius

They can start with exposing themselfs with nudes and, masturbation pictures etc etc, so much fun to be had

And then.. they move to the more hardcore stuff

Ashley is a mastermind, I can't wait to see more of her machinations.

Here you go you greedy lot from the recent showcase.. As expected and as others have said, asking for a hero shortly after the drop is becoming problematic...

On top of the new content, I'm looking into a better method of sharing the new releases for Supporters. Version 0.14 has been leaked to various websites in a couple hours, meaning that people paying to get early access didn't actually enjoy it.

And, well, let's be pragmatic, it also means no one subscribed to get that version early. I usually get a small subscribers increase on release date, but this time, I even lost some. Strangely, the number started to get lower right after the leak...

On top of these issues, this leak has demoralized me a bit. A week that already wasn't really good became even worse (and it even went downhill from there).

I love this game I like the fact that both of the MCs have opportunities and its all out in the open(I hate cheaters with a passion) its good the guy gets to see other women hopefully Tara as well if they corrupt her enough I love Ashley outlook on life and who knows maybe some group sex I can but hope. I like the way the MCs girlfriend is slowly corrupted my best route is where she is submissive to the MC and he turns her into a slut. I also like that I can tell her which chars she can see that's a bonus in my book, best of all is the fact that all of the male characters dick are average or above average there's no stupid monster dicks I just hope it continues but we haven't seen any black guys yet but hopefully if we do they wont be the usual mythical hung like a horse stereotype (I think that Edward maybe the next char to interact with your girlfriend perhaps he will be black).

PS Will there be any other female chars to interact with.

This week's update has really sped up the text, huh. I appreciate fast-forward being sped up, but not all text being sped up. The new normal speed seems about as fast as the old sped-up version. I think I'll wait for the next update to see if it's fixed.

I think there is some legitimate criticism that the game is losing it's original appeal. With these latest updates, I think some people are probably disappointed with how the story has progressed in the most recent chapters. There's also I think a problem of waning interest over time. Honestly, I think it would probably be good to start thinking about the next project at this point. Not to say this one should be abandoned any time soon, but to start figuring out a plan for the next project. I'd be interested to see what the dev can come up with next after everything he's learned from making this one.

This is an issue of NTS games compared to NTR ones. NTS games lose their thrilling effect much sooner because once your girl is regularly banging other men, what else? You either ramp up the NTS play with more hardcore stuff, which I've suggested here but got shot down, change the bull to keep things fresh or end the game. Some recent NTS games have chosen instead to move in a direction of focusing on other girls besides MC's which to me is a great mistake that betrays the essence of NTS, I don't care that other girls are being slutty, I care that MY girl is being slutty. If you don't escalate or change the bull at least, there is not much else to do but to keep looping over and over which is a trap I've seen many NTS games that focus on being "wholesome" or "lighthearted" fall into. And please folks don't give me the "realism" talk. This is a porn game, it is meant to help you live out a fantasy, everyone expects and accepts reasonable breaks from reality. In fact at the beginning of this game, Laura accepted MC's cuck fetish with a speed that is anything but realistic, so no point in trying to use "realism" to keep things from escalating now.

Effectively aswell any game in regards to NTS or NTR are most effectively told better from the womans POV anyway. You can argue this game is a little better because it's a text message game and therefore the woman's pov is being put across... But yeah, NTS games lose that thrill pretty sharpish. The fucking of the same bull each week becomes tiresome, ti's why it's natural for these games to then venture into NTR, it's only a small step there and there is better story to tell

We were getting 3 long chapter in the beginning and i think he had a job. Now it is mostly bug fix / rewrite and 1 short chapter.

You have strange definitions of "short" and "long". The Chapters you call "short" are actually 4 to 8 times larger than the "long" chapters I released 3 by 3. Literally every update I released, apart from the one in which I only improved earlier content, was larger than the previous ones, both in words count and pictures count.

Chapter 29, released in 0.14, is, alone, larger than any act from 1 to 7. You know, the acts with "longer" chapters...

You can think whatever you want about my decisions, but don't start lying, please.

I think that's because of content freshness. I don't know about others but I've skipped all new content with Nathan and Oliver since I've already seen it a lot of time in previous chapters, so only chat with Ashley and Tara (with about 8 renders) took its place in my memory.
In my opinion it's time for Nathan's death car accident along with all other 'apartments one-to-one' sex scenes.

When your "long" chapters include very little "new" content and progression, it doesnt feel long. It feels like fluff. I agree with the post above, the only new things in ch 29 was the Tara stuff, and it wasnt much.

I've said this before, but I think it bears repeating: The good thing about NTR/S/cuck/hotwife games is that they stir strong emotions. The bad thing about NTR/S/cuck/hotwife games is that they stir strong emotions.

I hope you remember the self-selecting nature of the people shrieking negativity about your game. Those who are happy with the game mostly just look for the update or make a "hey, good job" post and move on. It's the entitled twats who aren't getting exactly what they want who spend hour after hour bitching.

It's a great game. The large, large majority of people who've tried it love it. Most of us are perfectly happy to enjoy your story the way you want to tell it.

Sucks that it gets leaked. You're completely right to be pissed about the leak. Fuck the little assholes actively harming you for the tiniest little ounce of internet cred. They can whine all they want about it being a pirate site, but even most pirates knew that killing the people they were robbing was a bad idea.

tl;dr fuck the whiny bitches. It's a great game. You're a great dev. Keep on keepin' on.

 

[luccel]

games gone downhill so hard that the people who show up to bitch about the dom path didn't even pull up for this update what a fall off. but thats usually what happens when we have a patch to "fix" a route before the games even done and a fluff update. zero story progress in the last two updates and it's looking like it will keep at this pace for awhile

Most creators wish they were making this much monthly. And as a reminder, it's a solo developer using AI-generated images, so it's not like he's spreading the income across a multi-dev team or commissioning hand-drawn art (which costs more than an AI subscription).
Don't get me wrong, i like the game and don’t even mind waiting for the public release (I’m not even up to date with the game, lol). But no, I can’t relate to this pity party either.

The man is putting out frequent updates of high quality content. In addition to that, he clearly cares what his user base thinks, and takes our suggestions to make the game better and more engaging. I think that deserves our support.

While it's true most developers don't make this much money, most developers are lazy and only come up with something good when they're motivated (usually only at the very beginning of a project). I think it's work a couple dollars every month to encourage the good developers to keep making superb content (instead of getting a real job, which you know they totally could).

I really want to see something like this.
Laura and Nathan go to remote cabin for a photo shoot, so Laura can't send pictures to MC because of bad signal. Ashley of course is concerned MC will be on edge from all the speculation of what Laura and Nathan up to. However she already has plans with Tara to go to the bar and find her self a man for the night and she wants Tara to loosen up a bit, so she encourages Tara to find someone to have fun with so she can send pictures to MC. Tara agrees because she would want to receive pictures if she was in MC situation.
