VN Unity Netorase Phone [v0.31.0] [Le Stag]

Funny you'd mention that in regards to self-insertion. For a while, when it first came to prominence, I didn't quite understand the hate towards NTR. I thought it'd be any man's fetish to be so much of an alpha, that you'd take someone else's girl, and corrupt her into cheating on her boyfriend with you. It was later on that it finally clicked on me: people self-insert as the MC, not the antagonist!

Maybe it's personal taste, maybe it's neurodivergence, but I always found myself cheering for the antagonist in movies, series, books. An automatic process, it's not me wanting to be different. Antagonists, to me, feel "cool", strong, like they don't exist in conformity with the protagonist's view, or that of the society in which the protagonist lives.

I transposed that automatically to NTR. My "self-insert" were the "antagonists". Curious how the same story can be read so differently by different people, isn't it?

People self inserting so easily and not liking ntr is mostly psychological as these stories are told from the cucked persons POV. Its pretty normal to self insert into the MC. If they really wanted to stop people from self inserting theyd tell the story from the bulls perspective or a 3rd person, everyones pov, so their isnt a MC so to speak. Overwhelming chunk of stories are meant for some self insertion. Add in that the ntr crowd cant stop going into games where ntr doesnt even fit the story and pressure it to be added. Too much fiction, especially between ntr and nts enjoyers.

You left out a third role: the spectator. Some people enjoy all three roles, some prefer one over the other.

That you are cheering for every antagonist blindly has nothing to do with it though. Could be your love for revenge, or a need for justice in grey areas. Or perhaps you respond positively to authoritarian leadership. Or they remind you of the struggles you're facing yourself. If you reflect on it a bit more you will figure out, I'm sure.

Self inserting is kind of the point in a game from first person PoV where the Main Character is as blank of a slate as possible

 

[Joratox]

Too much fiction, especially between ntr and nts enjoyers.

I'd wager there's the same amount of friction between ntr and nts enjoyers, as it is between ntr enjoyers and harem enjoyers. The kinks are very different.

Yep, I personally know a friend that enjoys ntr games because he looks at them as a spectator. He's that guy with the popcorn that enjoys the scandal and the drama that both the cuck and the bull provide.

True. It's the reason I have a hard time trying to self-insert into the mind of the book or movie character, because it's a fixed setting. Games that offer choices and paths and consequences are the best medium to self-insert.

anyone got a full gallery save not real time to play when working 16 hour days

It's not just that, book and movie characters have a personality.

This character doesn't outside of what he thinks about Laura and the whole sharing thing.

He almost never shows up in pics, except for his dick, works a non-descript job without any specified hours, we don't even know how he commutes.

 

[Le Stag]

Nah, I'm seriously confused why you are listening to people who "can't read" and "don't understand the game" all of the sudden.

I'm listening to the other people. The ones giving constructive feedback.

Writing him like an ass was your vision, was it not?

You're not among those ones, clearly...

 

[Le Stag]

He caved in at least 3 times (that I know of) to pressure from patreon bleeding money.

Oh yeah? Mind sharing these? Because I'm not aware of those. I've never "bled Patreon money". Ever.

You know, it's really ridiculous how you people keep complaining that I can't take criticism, but when I take feedback into account, suddenly I'm "caving" because Patreon is "bleeding money" (it's not).

A lot of his patrons are pushing for NTR like content and getting Laura to be a mindless slut so he's losing a lot of patrons that enjoy the more balanced story that he promised at the start.

Okay, so not only are you unable to give constructive criticism, you're apparently unable to see things.

He already lost a couple of hundred $

Yeah, right... I gained 132 Supporters since the update released, so mind telling me exactly how I lost those couple hundred dollars? Because according to my counts (and I'm an ex accountant, so they're good), this month is my best month ever. But I suppose you'd know better...

Nothing you're saying makes sense. You're just spewing bullshit at that point, probably because you're angry I'm not listening to you.

I'm not listening to feedback because I'm losing money (I'm clearly, definitely not). I'm listening to feedback because some people (not you, clearly) have feedback that is constructive, makes sense, and take into account what the game actually is. They are able to convey it politely, instead of accusing me of not understanding, or sharing blatant lies. I listen to these people, because their opinion is valuable to me, like I always did.

That's the point. He's a blank slate. I know some people dislike that, but I know it also helps some people identify with a character.

Which is why I made a poll on this topic, and let the players choose.

it's neurodivergence

I want a Tara spin off

Make it isekai

 

[kemmotar]

Huh? What happened to I am the author (ity) here ? Or was the backlash on Patreon the same?

Hey, he choose to go for the stag route instead of the dominat stag route and there is no shaming for that, now more seriously, I think that's a fine fix, now the guys that think Laura is their real girlfriend can you all shut up and drop the topic? We need to focus on what's really important, making sure we make LeStag finally cave and give us Tara

 

[Joratox]

Oh yeah? Mind sharing these? Because I'm not aware of those

First time you caved to the NTR crowd, because they were yelling Nathan is too vanilla, so you added Oliver and made him super obnoxious. 2nd time was when you caved to the Oliver haters and made him optional, then 3rd time when you caved in again to pressure and made a poll to re-add Oliver. Who followed this game from it's inception knows these facts. You keep telling that you are writing your own story, but every time there's a party of people leaving your patreon you immediately change stuff to put out the fire.
The strat seems to work for you, since you are quite successful.

Okay, so not only are you unable to give constructive criticism,

Oh, I gave a bunch of constructive feedback, also a bunch of non-constructive feedback, for which I even apologized in a direct reply to you.

Yeah, right... I gained 132 Supporters since the update released, so mind telling me exactly how I lost those couple hundred dollars? Because according to my counts (and I'm an ex accountant, so they're good), this month is my best month ever. But I suppose you'd know better...

SS from yesterday, I'm mad at me for not making a SS from your release day since it was higher.


SS from now:

I know, it's lower than I said because I don't have the earlier numbers, and you'll probably even come with the excuse that patrons just subbed for release and canceled after. Time will tell how much bullshit you can get away with.

Which is why I made a poll on this topic, and let the players choose.

Soo, instead of letting the players play the game and decide for themselves, you create a fixed setting based on some of the players. So very blank slate of you. Btw, your own supporters argued that you promised a setting where Oliver returns with a proper story and you deceived those too by retconning the story...

 

[La Dani]

Sorry to say because I undestand the effort of the dev, but for my tastes now is a boring game .
I like ntr games, but now is a loop.
Personal opinion, naturally.

SS from now:

Btw, Patreon doesn't show accurate numbers. EDIT: at least not always.
This is what I see right now and I really doubt that LeStag gained 1.2k dollars of income in 27 minutes, while maintaining the same number of subs.



Also, for this guy right here it showed 90k. So yeah, that data is crap.

No problem. My goal has always been to make a slow game. I wanted to make a game that represented a (relatively) realistic progression, time-wise, of such a relationship. That would show the slow progress of feelings toward the kink, of opening up, and discovering new things, instead of being hammered with it like so many other games do.

And I always knew I'd lose people with such a direction, especially as the game would get longer. But I felt it was a worthy risk, to make the game I wanted.

Maybe you'll rediscover it later, when it's "full" (which might make it less boring without the wait between updates).

 

[Le Stag]

Btw, Patreon doesn't show accurate numbers, so, sorry, can't use that.

Also, for this guy right here it showed 90k. So yeah, that data is crap.

I think the data is consistent if you look at it in the same conditions (same currency, region, etc...).

He's not wrong in the sense that, today, a bunch of subscriptions did lapse. Which means I technically "lost" money today.

What he doesn't take into account is that displayed changes are not instantaneous. If people hypothetically cancelled their subscription yesterday, because they hated what I said here, then the value of their subscriptions would only be deducted when their access lapsed, which could be 3 weeks from now. The fact that the displayed value changed today just means that a bunch of previously cancelled subscriptions ended today. But, for reference, one of those was cancelled on October 23.

The facts, though, is that since last release, only 6 people cancelled their subscriptions. Six. And I gained, as I said, 132 in the same timeframe (deducting those 6, so I actually had 138 new subscribers).

So, yeah, he's talking nonsense. I'm definitely not losing money with this update. As I said, it's not only the most successful one yet, both feedback-wise and money-wise, but November is also, for now, the month during which my income has comparatively progressed the most. So, far from "bleeding money".

 

[Le Stag]

It's funny how you didn't engage in a debate when I was being apologetic, polite and took time to give you honest, albeit pretty critical feedback, but you've blown a gasket when I said some hard truths.

Just because you suddenly decided to be apologetic doesn't mean that:
- Your feedback became better,
- I had to accept your apology.

Talking nonsense while saying "I'm sorry" doesn't change the fact that it's nonsense, and I had already decided to ignore your "feedback", because it was clearly based on nonsense.

I draw the line at blatant lines though. I have to address those.

So fine, I'll give you the stage and retire from this, people that start throwing slurs when they can't debate bore me.

If I had known, I'd have done that earlier.

 

[Hung1992]

I personally don’t like the idea that a game’s script and plot are decided through democratic interactions by the audience.

Democracy is fine and all. Okay. But if there’s one environment I believe shouldn’t be democratic, it’s scriptwriting, because the moment you give up creative freedom to cater to the desires of the masses, your product stops being your product and becomes the result of mediocrity translated into votes.

There are plenty of AI tools today that can give you a personalized experience, a handcrafted game made by a former French accountant doesn’t need to be one of them.

In fact, the charm of the result lies precisely in the fact that it doesn’t come directly from an algorithm, but from the arbitrary decisions of someone who is constantly pressured and influenced by online bullying.

As much as I criticize Stag’s work, his French pace of doing things, or the way he favors that bland little thing over my sweet, brown-skinned fitness angel, I have to say that the scenario in which he would try to meet others’ expectations instead of focusing on developing his own decisions would completely strip the game of its charm.

I’m not interested in a script built around the desires and expectations of a bunch of neurodivergents on an adult forum. I have Twitter for that.

Keep doing what you do, Stag.

Another great update for our queen Laura! Hope she will have even more fun in the future with Olivier!
