You assume wrong, as that's absolutely NOT what I am saying.
I am saying that if you're going to give player the agency to limit the interactions with Nathan too, the story will never progress at the pace Stag is setting. And you make it too open up. Let's not forget, this is a kinetic novel with flavor settings/text. Not a game.
Also not saying that fucking the girls isn't good. I am saying some people ONLY want that content, and skip on the NTS part. Which is idiotic in a game like this.
And if you think generating GOOD AI pictures (like this game has) takes mere minutes, you clearly haven't give it a serious attempt. It takes dozens of attempts to get a decent one and then you still have to post-edit.
my dude I spent a few hours creating a lora for Laura in the fan post thread it wasn't that hard. if you understand game coding and art you can manipulate it pretty easily . but hell I am not even saying that he needs to generate completely new images here . I said generate a condom variant of the same images he used in the past just to help not have to write a completely new scene in situations like I described. you can do that in a three picture generation easily.especially if you created your character lora properly..... hell I have had to create actual CGI with graphic design software for money. AI doesn't take as much effort as actually creating artwork. comparatively AI art is pretty fucking easy since you are just figuring out what prompts work and training your model to not do stupid shit. It's coding for dummies.
I did this in one go I have like multiple similar images from that single generation with the Lora I made (no worries le stag its under nobody is allowed to make money from it.)
Now about the story with I quote"
Netorase Phone is an adult visual novel about exploring your sexual fantasies with your girlfriend.
The story is told through text messages and pictures, by talking with the various characters.
The game focuses on Netorase / Hotwifing, with mutual consent and respect between all involved parties. " Read the description of the fucking game.....Mutual consent and respect of all parties its in the tag line. I have read most of the complaints as a few are also me. most people aren't wanting only to fuck other girls. Hell I wantrd to fucking have the threesome with nathan/mc/Laura happen in this fucking release. I want to progress into laura and MC experimenting with group play as has been promised via the fact that its a literal choice noted in the notes. hell having The MC become a bull for Marcel and Ashley while Ashley bulls for laura...while nathan bulls for Laura and MC seems perfectly reasonable. Nathan doesn't need to be creaming lauras donut and fucking her raw unless the MC is into it. and having previously made a big deal about asking the MC multiple times you are telling us that our choices while limited do effect the outcome. like it doesn't have to be a grand branching story. just do the same scene and don't have it generate the dialogue about her getting creamed unless the player said ok....have it use a condom pic if the player said condom. thats not a big branch. Oh but nathan and laura need to progress...into what exactly? a couple that has children while MC goons? I mean if MC and Laura are the "husband and wife" the main relationship the story is about their progression not Nathans...nathan is by definition a secondary lead. hes not the lead.. Laura and MC are. having the MC and Laura evolve is the story. Nathan fucking laura is just a part of that. him not filling laura with spunk isn't exactly world breaking unless your whole end game is the Laura leaving MC or being primarily being in a relationship with Nathan at the end with MC just cucking in the corner while they have babies. but I digress. Consent and respect between all parties means that if mc doesn't consent its not allowed thats just basic logical reasoning.
