Was wondering why there was so much angry babble in this thread (not that it's that unusual), but after playing the new version, I can see why. Most mediocre content update so far. I'll blame holiday season for now, but I wouldn't be surprised if the dude is turning on milk-mode. This game makes obscenely more money than it deserves.

In real life 100% agreed, but as you said, this is still porn-fantasy, just like porn videos. I am pretty sure that the majority of players would choose to let her go raw/get creampied, so making a variation of all pictures with Condoms just doesn't seem sensible.
Probably more sensible for one-offs/ons or the MC (yesh, as a sub you can continue using a condom yourself, while Nathan doesn't), but for Nathan, from which we get many pictures for example it is probably easier to just have to do one variation and while I guess any dom player will go raw/creampie/anal ect with Laura as the first, I also think most still would choose to let her do it with the others afterwards, as it is part of the more involved fantasy compared to real life. Just what I think how it is tho, could be wrong.

So often patreon games with monthly updates fall into this problem of players wanting "exciting" updates every month. It's normal in the development of a game to having "boring" sections of the game.
Think of how a normal RPG video game flows. You have some sections of action, and others of dialogue, or travel, or at camp with your party. Not every minute is smashing the enemy with your sword.
If you play Netorase Phone from the start, each update so far generally flows well, and doesn't feel like it's stalling out or boring. I think the actual problem people have is from the fact that the last updates were small and generally set-up.

The devs been quite clear, he has a story in mind and a goal in place, I can't be bothered going to search, but he's mentioned in the past, the stages Laura and our MC are going to traverse. So yes there may be a lot of the same old old same old and then teases that ultimately lead to nothing, but we are setting up something bigger here.
The problem here is simply the medium in which the game is presented. This isn't some Ren'py game with statics and animations. It's told through a phone. It's always going to be tell not show and to be fair, there's not many ways you can present "I fucked Nathan" without it seeming the same.
You're quite right, playing it from chapter 1, the game does just flow and to combat the same old same old feeling that comes of just getting a wall of text from Laura describing her adventuresthe devs tried to mix it up with the group chats etc.
I mentioned this yesterday, but the fact Laura can break the rules is massive. It's no longer "Nath just text me" and then the fallout. Laura's suddenly allowed in the driver's seat and our content possibilities increase
It's better for the story overall if it is a slow burn and these things are earned rather than just thrown out there.

Actually, the developer is aware of the monotony and offers an option to break it. A choice that leans a bit between netorare and netorase wouldn't upset anyone. However, even if we give Laura permission to break the rules, she still doesn't do much. For example, the game gives me the chance to flirt with Ashley without Lauren knowing, and I invite her over. When I do this, I believe Lauren should have the right to step out of the netorase concept as well. But at the end of the story, Lauren still knows all about my entire conversation with Ashley. This feels a bit unbalanced.
Based on where game is currently, I would like to suggest one thing to dev that from now on let MC join party or trip with girls. They already have madhouse group running. Let MC have fun with Ashley in couple of chapters. Then MC will go for other girls. They will talk about everything later in madhouse. And 90% of people here will be happy.
Honestly still enjoying the game a lot, they're doing a good job with the phone format and I like the way the game is coming together. I haven't been grabbing every update so I have more to play through and I think that's the way to go with projects like these. As Laura gets more partners I'm kinda hoping she gets to be airtight some day, but even if that doesnt happen I'm looking forward to where things are going.
It would turn this thread into a war zone. I love netorase and swinging games and hate netorare games with a passion. And from following this thread for a few months, I know many other people in the thread also hold same position. Please stop trying to inject netorare into netorase games. The dev already explicitly said he won't add any netorare content.
Edit: Looking at your post history, you are a NTR loving troll. What a fucking waste of time.

You would be happy, maybe even 90% of people in this thread, but certainly not 90% of people playing the game! Games like this draw in the "sub" players much more then the "dom" players, I am 90% sure the majority of players is here specifically for the experience of Laura fucking other guys and not because they want the MC to fuck other girls.
I think you are correct.
About the game being "stagnant": it may be true but LeStag explained both "he has a story in mind and a goal in place" but also he has not planned or written many chapters in advance.
So yes, sometimes with updates every three weeks, maybe he needs to write one chapter of lesser importance - not canon to the story - so that he can spare time for the writing of more critical upcoming chapters that need more work.
Being a little disappointed here and there by an update is normal and not concerning at all.
I for one keep in mind that this game was released here exactly 8 months ago. Anybody discovering the game now will enjoy it and playing it from chapter 1 to 30 means a several hours playthrough. Netorase Phone has MUCH content for an 8 months old game!
I am on board with the story, the characters, the pace, the art and the amount of art, and 100% onboard with the "healthy relationship" plan of the dev. I like both NTS and NTR. I understand this game is NTS and if I want a fix of NTR guess what? PLENTY OF NTR GOOD SHIT AROUND HERE.
About branches: I fully understand that "choices should matter much" is irrelevant because it multiplies the required amount of work (writing, art, coding) and that would SLOW THE STORY.
If I should point something I'd like to "improve" - it's not about NTS / NTR shit or Branches. It's about the following:
in this game, every girl at this point has a pretty distinct personnality, her own dialogue style and a really unique physique. On the contrary, the men Laura is fooling around with are a bit too much look-alike physically [understandable at some point - Laura may like a certain kind of men, and I think Nathan and Oliver look good - yet it's not ideal in a story like this]; and also, if not in personnalities (Nathan being more friendly/likeable, less dominant than Nathan for example), it's like there is also something too similar in... the way they talk and / or the pacing of their dialogues. It's not easy to pinpoint what exactly bugs me but at this point non-MC male characters need stronger identities.
Yet, this point CAN be improved, they just need a few chapters to be fleshed out... I'm confident with LeStag.
Guys it's about time for the developer to announce a remaster, putting new content on hold for at least a year to milk the patreon bux

This is one of the few pure NTS games on here let's not ruin it by adding NTR.
Thank goodness LeStag knows what story he wants to tell. I only wish more devs had a clear outline like that.

It is really too late to do much about the raw sex, it would be too much work to retrofit that now. I just hope that on the dominant path(one I am on), we can tell her not to allow anyone but the MC to creampie her. Just have her ask, to give the MC a choice. If you choose not to allow others to creampie her, just don't send a pic of the aftermath or just reuse one of the prior ones. Then the dev only needs to make the pics if you allow her to get creampied by others. So really, other than the coding to ask the question and have an "if yes goto/if no goto" type code, it would be less coding on the "no" side.
netarase is when the main character wants his girlfriend to cheat right? so just to be clear this game isn't about something like a girlfriend who slowly gets more corrupt behind the boyfriends back, with signs (but never acknowledgements) of such, over a period of texts?
Yes, it is MC's kink, in a way he is the one corrupting his gf (with the help of gf's bff)

How to keep save files between different instalations? After uninstalling and reinstalling, all saves are gone.
Also, is there any way to load the Windows save on this, considering I don't have data folder access?
I thought by bow there would be an import/export function, but apparently no such luck.

no, it can be done only by developer
edit: I hope you'll read it before they delete this post, for some reason anything about developing process and technicalities getting deleted here
