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 asses, 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.
Je pense qu'on peut se passer de leurs retours

This is just a great update, a breath of fresh air, a scene with a colleague, exactly what I expect from Laura, because this is the era of whores, after all, this is exactly what I want to see, how she becomes a hunter for the next adventure, and more and more intense, mff, fff, in the park, on the street, on the roof, nightclubs, toilets...

Dude ignore these guys, they're bitter because you can't read their minds and make the exact game they want. Keep making your game as you love it.

Acts 15 and 16 don't count as completed, Chapter 58 doesn't count either (all images except 868 have been completed). Vignettes don't count either.

Yeah this update was a really solid one, has me interested in the game again after it becoming a bit stale. Definitely needs to keep escalating in my opinion, but back on the right track!
the last version i played was 0.25. has there been any groupsex yet? gloryhole stuff? maybe laura moonlighting as a stripper and fucking the customers(unlikely, i know)?
Yes to group sex, no to gloryhole (I think), no to laura moonlighting. The slut era is going pretty slowly.
I apologize if what I said seemed too negative, I didn't mean for that to come across that way. What I meant was the excitement is dying down a little, but maybe a glory hole scene is what it needs to top off the slut era. (?)
We did see some innovation in one chapter where there were little videos sent. Small animated scenes. Yet that disappeared. Animations are a good thing, even if they do take time it's better than just rushing out the next chapter. Quality my guy.
Edit: it looks like there is a .31 version out today but idk what it is cause I'm not on the Patreon at all. Maybe it's good? Let us know hero

what you meant to type is your personal excitement is dying down so the dev should make a scene featuring a fetish you specifically want instead of making the game how he wants to.
I think that's just your fetish taking precedent. That's probably the hardest thing Le Stag has to deal with, we all have our niches about the NTR/NTS kink and want it expressed in different ways, so it's hard to appease everyone. I, personally, want an FFM threesome with Ashley (and/or Tara, but that'd be hard to write in a reasonable way with how the story is currently. Ashley would be believable). But I understand that might not be very high on the priority list for Le Stag and will probably have to wait. On the flip side, I wouldn't care much for a glory hole scene. I wouldn't consider it a "top off" to the slut era.
This is just my humble opinion. I've been playing this game from the very beginning and have seen how this game has evolved from a technical standpoint throughout the year. The UI has changed to accommodate a chapter selection, the use of vignettes, the evolution of the tendency system, making certain content optional, unlocking content with a Patreon subscription. The art has been a lot more consistent as of late but has historically had various degrees of inconsistency such as multiple finger digits to completely different styles in general. The use of side characters was relatively low at the beginning but now we have a decent cast of characters that offer different nuances to the story. That being said, it felt that at the beginning Le Stag was writing the story to be more or less episodic, having each of Laura’s encounters be its own thing and offering very little to an over arching story. Now we get quite a bit of foreshadowing and individualized interactions with the cast.
What I’m trying to say is at some point, it felt that this stopped being a passion project for Le Stag and it has turned into a product. The quality of the art to the coding has improved dramatically from the 1.0 release. I feel that Le Stag has put a ton of effort in making this his full time occupation but has written himself into a pigeon hole based on how he directed the story when he was just a novice trying to teach himself how to make a quality game. I can imagine that he feels compelled to pump out more content to meet a quota now than he did before and I can empathize on how stressful that can be. I’m sure there are a lot of aspects of the story he wishes he could change now but feels defeated at the idea of having to start over. I think every creator needs to give themselves permission to start over if they don’t like their own work. That’s why so many products go through prototyping or why so many intellectual properties get rebooted. After all, nobody gets everything right the first time. Just food for thought.
