OK GUYS
LET'S BRAINSTORM FOR NTS IDEA
WE GOT THIS!
I posted before but missed the general discussion, sorry to pick it up probably a week too late. Tried to read most of what was said since, and one particular post struck me that mentioned the three main characters being "perfect archetypes" - I imagine the landlord is a typical bull, the MC is a passive guy and the FMC is?... Dunno. I don't want to offend any "crowd" as they seem to get riled up by other "crowds", so I'll make this post about my own personal preference, fully aware that it's just one guy's favourite kinks.
If the MC-FMC-boss triangle is central to this game, I'm not sure I'd see it going where I'd like to play it, and I don't mean this in a discouraging way. A lot of the NTS public will be happy to play a cuckold path if you added one, but my personal preference goes to where the MC shares the FMC with multiple guys, as in free reign but with some rules (that she can playfully break at times). Mainly I dislike two things, one is the idea of the FMC transferring part of her intimacy and emotional grounding to another guy and, secondly, her reliance on a single bull, which feels necessarily like a transference as well. I prefer that the FMC looks for fun with multiple partners so that the MC-FMC relationship is integrally preserved, with sharing being just the proverbial "spice".
Those two issues are so unavoidable to me that I don't play a game until I'm sure I won't encounter what I don't like, so I admit I haven't played yours yet. But I'm assuming what others said is true, and won't suggest you change anything that's central to try and reach a new "crowd", which is where said others would be right in calling me and others out for trying to derail your story. So here's an idea, far-fetched as it may seem, that could add a "true sharing" dimension to what it seems like the current content is, without any cuckold stuff:
- the landlord is much less actively trying to seduce the FMC, or not at all. There may be hints to his interest, using what's probably in game already, but he shouldn't make any move
- the initiative should be the MC and the FMC's
- it shouldn't come out of the blue, maybe they have sex and in the afterglow, they're casually teasing each other and the MC mentions he's happy to have her, and that he notices how other guys look at her, especially the landlord
- the idea of sharing the FMC with the landlord can come up and be immediately found daring and kinky
- the MC never admits to having a cuck fetish, that's just a cheap and spent trope, it works best if he admits he dislikes it, it stirs jealousy, but he's at the same time provoked by it and curious
- the FMC is not dissatisfied with the MC in any way but admits that she finds the idea of provoking some mild jealousy intriguing and arousing, but not enough to risk their relationship
- they tease each other about it and realise they might both be into exploring that kind of kink, agree to experiment slowly and with rules
- if there's a landlord seduction sequence already in the game, that could probably be easily turned into a teasing of the landlord by the FMC instead, by changing dialogue
- if you have a pure romance path, some scenes can also be used to make intimate events between the MC and FMC more frequent than in the NTR path, also with more dialogue discussing what happens and how they feel about it
- at no point in the game the MC and FMC should stop having intimate moments. I really dislike MC masturbating to his LI fucking others, or being teased to premature orgasms by talking about it with the FMC without getting her off, too
- an isolated episode where they tease each other to that point and the MC ends up eating the FMC to her climax is ok, as long as there's no prologued emasculation, meaning denial of penetrative sex. Going the way where the FMC gets off exclusively or mainly from other males is all that I dislike about many NTS stories; the MC should be the one to get her off most often and more intensely
- a good balance would be important to avoid the cuckold trope, I'd prefer the FMC to not be shy about admitting that she enjoys the other guy physically, but her orgasms with others be tempered with the FMC's thinking about what MC is/would be feeling, his jealousy and how that would contribute to their sex being even more intense; emotionally and mentally, it's the other guys that are being cucked even as they fuck her
- the idea of getting a financial advantage, rent discount, whatever from laying with the landlord sounds a bit degrading but also kinky, FMC and MC are well aware of it and own their slight corruption
- don't know if the streaming content already includes or plans to include "indecent" proposals from fans on the NTR path, those could be used on the sharing path as well
- at this point, you may have your third path using existing content from both other existing paths
- you might feel like creating some content specifically for the sharing path. This is where people would call you out for risking a derailment of the story, and I personally wouldn't insist on it, but things might make sense and be easily inserted, like hitting on other guys at the pub, beach casuals or other "problem solving" with a bit of seduction (like overcoming work obstacles) could be added, taking some weight from the landlord's character and avoiding the throuple altogether while trying to treat it as side-content, keeping investment in dedicated rendered material under control
- these episodes could be short and without consequence, the idea is to add more casual encounters that are self-contained and help in telling a different story re-centred on the MC-FMC relationship, without putting so much work into it or tempting you to affect your vanilla and NTR paths
Hope this late contribution helps. There's necessarily a bit of fantasy in it, I'm sure most relationships wouldn't work for long in such premises but that's the beauty of games, you can keep things realistic enough to suspend disbelief while exploring a bit more than one might be able to in real life.
