This is excatly how i feel about the game. Things should compound but rarely do. The game is basically the same experience for 30 chapters, which is a very long time. The NTS sucks bc of everyone complaining and the dev cant do anything except recycling the same stuff because it has been working for the most people. I do feel bad for the dev - its a tough spot to be in. If i was him i would just start ending the game and start a new project where he does what he wants.

Exactly the game is already over.. she experienced new men. Everything else is just another kink or wild event. I think he should end it. (But he probably wants more patreon income instead from subscriptions instead of a full released game). Most importantly the neutral option balanced route is not even being incorporated anymore. So what does that say? It says the game is so complex already with choices that he simply cannot write that many routes to comply with each months update anyway. The ai gen pics help speed out an update but.. idk everything has its flaws right.
I'm not saying the game is bad, but even I'm done experiencing it.
If the game was supposed to end the first time Laura had sex with someone other than the MC, it would have ended a long time ago. Oh, and it would have been bad, too (imagine if all AVN's stopped at first sex because "story is done, game is over", lol). This is a story which has no "obvious ending" that it's racing towards (you could argue a wedding, but even that has no real reason being an end point). So as long as Le Stag wants to keep it going and has new ideas to keep it fresh (and as long as people like it, which seems to very much be the case when you look at his Patreon activity), he has no reason to put a stop to it.
Except there's only one route in the game, with the player's choices either blocking/skipping some content or changing a few lines of text and a couple of pictures here and there (sometimes the way a scene plays out, but that's about the extent of the variations, this is light-years away from having, say, love route, NTR route and NTS route).
Then move on. That's fine, nothing is for everyone, and even if you liked it before but don't anymore, your tastes are allowed to change or you can feel that the formula has outstayed its welcome, no problem.
True, felt the same way. Every update that came out feels like the same thing over and over again. The last time it felt exciting was when Laura started doing anal. This no longer feels like you're a couple trying things together and get excited about. Don't understand why this developer thinks Hugo is a new character as well. He's just a more pathetic version of Nathan.
Now Laura is just fucking a different type of Nathan over and over again. The only actual new one was the coworker and even then it's just a glimpse. I doubt he can make a compelling scene with the coworker considering how the story has been progressing so I'll reserve judgement until after that scene is out.
Now there's not only an entire chapter dedicated to a character I don't care about, he even wasted time and resource to make another completely unrelated game with the excuse of "writer's block". I'm sure plenty here already knows what happens when a developer makes multiple games. It's usually a sign. Hell, it's probably why this game's latest update was broken to begin with cause he spend time and resource on another game instead of this game to ensure it runs properly. At this point, he just milking his audiences while also letting them pull him left and right. I don't particularly care for Tara or Ashley but if the updates kept going on a sideways detours (Tara,Ashley) instead straight line(Laura) I don't see a reason as to why I wanna keep supporting his patreon.

I listen to your feedback, and take it into consideration, but please avoid implying I'm a liar or a manipulator.
I only wrote 365 Days Before Us because I was feeling a bit lost, and was having a hard time writing. This is not a lie or an excuse, it's the truth. I only worked on it for a single day, 8 days AFTER version 0.30 was released. You can't attribute this version's issues to something that didn't even exist then.
And I didn't work on it more since then. As I explicitly stated when I shared it, this is only a small side project to jog my creativity, not a second full-fledged game.
Your comment is kinda direspectful. I do my best to be truthful and transparent, communicating about my process and the difficulties that come with it, writer's block being among those. A lot of authors have some "side work" to clean their minds, most of it is just not shared. I just thought sharing this one would be nice.
Man, you're truly amazing! Your updates are well-organized and great, and every update has new content, even if it's just a little bit similar to previous ones. But whatever it is, it's still new content for Netorase phone. Keep it up, you're a genius!
@ Le Stag. I do appreciate you looking at all the comments and responding in kind. I wasn't particularly happy about Oliver jumping back in but the Tara chapter sparked my interest again as I don't actually particularly like the NTR but enjoy the gameplay and picture hunting and Tara has always been a favourite of mine. Can only wish you all the best for future developments, thanks for the game.
Just mute their ass, no one but them will be mad about it.
I understand that you want to answer all those messages and that's great, but some of them are just borderline trolls. Like the one that was complaining about nathan being everywhere while we did not see him in an update since 2 or 3 months I think.
