The game complexity was his downfall, there were simply way too many variables being tracked for character. More importantly, the dev never got enough patrons to put in more effort or remain motivated to work on it. This game also had a lot of hate because basically most girls were sleeping around with other dudes, which many did not like.
Yeah I was shocked when I looked at his patreon and saw how low the count is - NCCv155 easily feels like an A tier game until you get to end, I'd put it below BaD, but above stuff like AoA, Intertwined, WVM.

The girls sleeping around doesnt even bother me because its mostly done in a realistic sense except for David, his mid game interactions feel more like an ntr-ish insert because Melissa, Zoe, Yvette are all basically unavoidably AFAIK. By realistic I mean they have past or existing relationships, and you have to work around them, this is like the real world.

What's not like the real world is David magically gets a leg up on every girl before you regardless of how MC chooses. It's a damn shame because I really liked how David was written early on; people might think of him as just a dumb meathead, but if you're straight with him, he'll be a good bro to you. (until the aforemented, then it goes off the rails and your relationship really doesnt matter lol)

I'm probably one of the only players who doesn't mind my bwooooy Mark at all. :cool: He's straight with you, there's no ulterior motives. Actually most of the male npcs are written pretty damn well, they're all different, except for maybe slim jim who's a walking stereotype who I told to fuck off the first time meeting and never looked back.

Also, what happens, when MC tells Andrea truth about wherebouts of Yoshi? You know, heroin-BDSM party in the basement? Does she realy snitches to police about a MC?)
Oh wow I've no idea, I always rapidly rolled-back the choice as soon as she threatened. Though I definitely knew she wouldnt take it well - same with when you choose whether to reveal all to- it's either Adele or Riley?? they scorn you. I think I've only done the heroin route, I wonder if there's a different from sticking things up his butt....

Question - can You take Yvette and Ashley to the final party, if MC already banged and dumpted them? Can the dumping be made in soft way?

And yet despite the clusterfuck of variables or the cardinal sin of other males existing, he was doing just fine before he started adding extra work for pointless shit like animations.

Every single time I see a dev killing momentum to go back and "improve" some pointless crap like older renders or adding animations, I'm just waiting for the abandoned tag.

It's amazing how many devs fall for that extremely obvious development trap. Momentum is everything.

I am just writing a small post to reassure you.

I have not stopped working on the game.

I hope to give you new news about the release soon.

Next Days I'll upload some picture for the patreon.

12 dec. 2022 om 00:49




Sorry for the absence, if I don't write it is not because I am not working but because I have no news to give you.



Today I finally have news to give you.

In the afternoon I should finally have the GUI (this is not something I am working on).

As soon as I have the new GUI I will finally be able to add new days to the game.



In the meantime I have almost finished writing the schedule for the whole game. by "writing the schedule" I mean that all the events are scheduled, divided by path and with most of the dialogue already organized.

Personally, I don't understand why people keep giving money

This x1000.

I'm more surprised at the people who AREN't jaded when a dev says something like "I'm refocusing my efforts on a rewrite of these chapters" That phrase should only be uttered when the game is either completely finished, or irreparably broken and bugged.

Same goes for any other number of dev updates like "working on special exhibition event" or "redoing scenes". Unless your game is unplayable in its current state, finish the damn thing first.

depends if a dev wishes to go on the steam route, and every non niche dev should since its a buttload of money then sometimes reworks are necessary mainly re rendering!

not being big on animations personally i discount them, but i know that in steam they are important!
Steam doesn't guarantee anything, especially for the porn game niche. Yes, if you are good enough and have a solid plan about your game it's another revenue stream. But if you have a solid plan about your game, you don't decide you want it on steam midway. You make it so from the start.

The only thing I miss is sex with
Valentina
play king of the beach for further scenes!
no sure about the king of the beach 2 if valentina still shows up!
I'm pretty sure Valentina has a 4some sex scene, no? I haven't gone down that path because i cant stand slim jim but based on script and images I think you can get a 4some with harley, valentina, slimjim, mc.
not sure i am normally into sharing but slimjim is just an asshole so no way i am putting my dick in a hole that he has been inside in the past 24 to 48 hours! if it was with any of the other dudes that are true friends sure David being the 1st i would spit roast a bitch but slim jim? fuck him !

the way he approached rain is so creepy that its stupid, no finesse no true corrupter charisma just being an asshole, daddy does not role that way in public!

do not get me wrong that approach might work, but you do it in a 1 on 1 conversation never in public in front of others... particularly strangers! like if he wanted to share the person he intends to share with is ok, someone else not gonna be involved screams insecurity and trying to get the stranger or the 3rd person uncomfortable! its like a childish power play!

do not get me wrong, it can be extremely pleasurable to rub in the face of another dude that you are gonna fuck the bitch he wants to fuck, share her and use her as you please, but only if you have broken her already like a true power play, the way he did it might wake up a dumb slut into the reality of what she is really worth it and she might decide to stop whoring around!

I've played version 1.55 and the new last version 0.2 for the last few days.
Graphically, it's an extreme advance.
Still, I felt it was a mistake to do a reboot/whatever. HG should have done a poll but that's the thing about artistic freedom.
Personally, without attacking him, I think he just didn't feel like it anymore. Maybe it was too complex for him and the reboot only came about because he didn't want to give up the income from PATREON.

How to check relationship level in the last (Season 2) version?
I think the variables have the same names, but since there's hardly any UI, gotta open the console and do like "andreagood"

NPCNAMEgood is usually the relationship variable, in some cases like kristen or maud its maudass or kristenass.

In v155, some characters had more complex additional relationship variables, like michelle also had "michelleromance", and "michelleperv", but I'm not sure if these exist in S2

the way he approached rain is so creepy that its stupid, no finesse no true corrupter charisma just being an asshole, daddy does not role that way in public!
Yeah like calling her racist bitch off the bat, wtf had she even said a single word to him? I get that he didnt like the bartender from the start because she didnt like him because knew they were drug dealers, but Rain? Huh?

Let's rant about characters! I can't stand Luana's hypocrisy! First she's cold and condescending towars MC! But after he gives her taste his "Little MC" a couple of times, she becomes jealous, tries to make MC jealous himself in the her/Luke/Belen/MC event and event tries to cock-block MC with other chicks (Riley especially)! What a cunt!

worst sin is her age, you can get 1 baby out of her in proper shape, sure it might be beautifull but Martina or any of the younger bitches can provide easily 4, not that i want to have eventually that many but i want to have the choice to do so if i change my mind!

best thing about Luana is that she introduces us to a true brother in soul in Luke!

roomate gets on my nerves, he sure loves to look down at mc cuz of the way he is. Which is funny considering that he banged his gofo and her mom and is currently taking advantage of a drug induced waitress.
