VN Unity Netorase Phone [v0.18] [Le Stag]

[kiziero]

There are a few scripts causing memory issues still in the game. They're from the asset pack I'm using for the UI.

I'm currently removing them from the game. They won't be there anymore with version 0.13. They were the most reported issue according to my Analytics, especially on Android, and were probably causing the game crashing at launch on phones.

On a not so unrelated topic, I've shared a proper roadmap for what's currently planned, what I'm working on, and what's done. You can find it

. Keep in mind these are plans, not a promise of what will be in each update exactly, as I'm not skilled enough to properly know what I'll really be able to implement in each update. But it should give you a better view of what I'm working on.

Following a lot of feedback, I'm planning on improving a lot of things in current content. Especially in recent chapters, including the divisive Chapter 27. I'm also reworking a lot of things on the Dominant route, as planned, including the way Oliver interacts with you in it.

What i love in this game is that there are many routes available for us to choose from.Personally i love every kind of nts(dominant,submissive etc) so i dont mind but what worries me from this roadmap is that i notice a heavy swift towards more dominant route(oliver not being an asshole for example).I like the dominant route as i said but i really hope dev dont focus only on that and keeps making content for humiliation/submissive route cause there arent many nts game with good humiliation play.For example the humiliation scene with nethan roleplaying is by far one of my favourites scenes in any nts game.There should be diversity and let people just choose the route they want to play

Am I alone in telling Oliver to do one? Laura says he's just roleplaying, but he strikes me as an unlikeable dickhead who's trying too hard to be dominant. Went back through a play- through, and instructed Laura to drop him. Rest of the replay seems much more fun.

Actually- thinking about this (possibly a bit too much)- we could keep Oliver involved, but diminished- have a threesome with him, MC and Laura where he gets put in his place, and occasionally send HIM pics. Nathan seems OK though, and understands the relationship.

That goes into completly different thing happening on routes again tho, there are enough people that like Oliver in principle (even in the "harder" state he is right now) and dom players can then avoid him if the rework isn't enough for them, having him branch into two paths, one were he contiues and one were we do what you said, then we are back at the problem that making content will take longer and longer.

I think Le Stag going with the approach to make some characters/things avoidable, but keep the overall routes of them simple is good, because the nice development-cycle, instead of the typical months between updates, is also a selling point of the game

everyone who complaining about memory leak and PC problem...
I am IT guy too, who also worked in big game development company and here my recommendation:
buy more memory
buy GPU
buy new PC
This is year 2024
new 8GB memory, which is more than enough, cost 11 USD
mini PC with Windows 10, 8GB memory cost around 80-100 USD
new decent GPU starting around 100 USD
many hours of developer work to fix your specific random problem without any guaranty it will be fixed - cost 2000-3000 USD at least
please, do the math

Do hope he stays the way he is in sexual scenarios though and does indeed continue to play that role xP

 

[furioNoso]

The game needs serious fixing on androids. I tried on both of my phones and current update works on neither. Before 0.12 it worked on at least one.

so, if a decent gpu alone is 100, let's assume a full decent computer is 300( doesn't matter for the point anyway). a dev will spend 3000 to fix a low rig problem.
so now simple math, if AT LEAST 10 persons have that problem, it is more efficient for the dev to fix the problem. i love math, do you?

But that's my point! Despite all the trash talk, I found Oliver's sex all too vanilla, just like what Laura already have with Nathan.

Le Stag thanks for the update regarding the memory issues!

big game development company

The IT guy in the game industry recommends spec upgrades when new iterations keeps linearly increasing ram usage each iteration. Sounds about everything wrong in the games industry today.

 

[AcornHunter]

it is more efficient for the dev to fix the problem. i love math, do you?

no it is not
we created the game on Unreal Engine which we sold back in the day for 59.95
before that we did very serious testing on different PC configurations and we ended up with
"recommended specifications"
because even with crazy sales of the game resolving individual problems even of 100-1000 customers is tooooooo expensive
you want the developer with free-to-play game to spend hours for troubleshooting for 10 non-paying customers?????
really????
spend 10 dollars on memory upgrade, mathematician

Don't worry, I'll do my best to work on all routes equally. If I'm working on the Dom one a lot, it's because I neglected it until now. It didn't have a Very Dom variation, and a lot of dialogues didn't fit with a Dom MC.

Ah well, fair enough, I think his Sex could be kinkier and harder, certainly, but I do like his personality being so different, even if it didn't get mirrored in the Sex yet, but maybe Le Stag will give us some harder stuff with him in the future ;D

 

[User_68P]

I think Oliver is a better bull than Nathan. Nathan is more like a second boyfriend and friend. Oliver is there for the sex only

yeah i know.Tbh as i said i like both dominant/submissive but when it comes to your game i am faaaar more interested in the submissibe/humiliation role cause as i said there arent a lot of good humiliation nts games.I feel that a lot of nts devs are afraid that people ll call their game ntr if they offer this content so they avoid it completelyThats why i got worried,cause i got afraid u d also abandon the humiliation route.I can get dominant from other games if u d abandon that i wouldnt be afraid.Thanks for clairifying though that u will work on all routes.I believe that is the correct choice.
Also just a suggestion,on the submissive route if u pick that u dont want to reclaim LI in the first chapters,i notice that until now even on that route u always get to reclaim her (wihout having a choice not to)and i think that is kinda contradicting.Wouldnt it be better if on that route there is no reclaiming at all?

 

[SicarusDK]

What I don't get is this; WTF is MC on the "dominant" route still so damn soy? A dominant male, who would "lend out" his girlfriend, would never accept that he himself couldn't do anything with Ashley and Tara when Laura basicly has an entire relationship with Nathan (not that he would want that either, but that's an entirely different discussion).

Maybe it should just be two different games instead. Lots of the narration doesn't make sense from a dominant perspective anyway.

Love the "game" though and it's got huge potential, especially if AI-aided video were to be added, similar to how "Lucky Phone" do it.

Because, apparently, I'm a lot less of a Dom than I thought.

Which is why I'm currently reworking the Dom route.

Agreed, the very sub route should have zero sex for the MC.

 

[Le Stag]

These things will be part of the Consent rework in 0.14.

While I think it would be a interesting thing, it should probably evolve, so it starts out with the "reclaiming", then kinda letting that term fall off until in very-sub the MC could even be in chastity and have no sex himself with laura anymore. It would feel wrong to do that from the get-go though.
Wouldn't worry too much about the sub-routes tho, while much of the discussion here is about the dom-parts, I think the majority of the games fans can actually be found in the sub-route.

You are wrong, sorry... a dominant male can very much be totally fine to be monogamous while he lends out his girlfriend, now, I do agree on the nathan dynamic, a proper dom would completly keep the reigns, so he would be the one deciding when and with whom she is allowed to sleep, but saying someone can't be a dom if he accepts that his girlfriend doesn't want him to sleep with other girls doesnt sit right with me. (Now, of course that would be different if Laura was the one initiating the whole thing, agreeing to something she doesn't want to give him would be weird, but she was totally fine being monogamous with the MC, the MC was the one that wanted her to fool around instead!) Though, that doesn't mean they can't come around to it or something, I only disagree with that premise

PS: What AI aided videos? Lucky Phones "videos" are pretty much a row of pictures, not real videos right? I only play the version with the edited pictures of the devs wife, not the pure ai version )
