Others Nostalgia and Lust [v1.07] [honestentity]

[0goku]

I also have a freelance job, I need to put food on the table. I cannot spend a lot of time browsing everyday without experiencing severe burnout. The public build was delayed because I planned to add all the multiple bugfixes (for itch as well) before releasing it (because otherwise I will be flooded with duplicate bug report comments when they've already been fixed) but seeing as it was released here without complaints, I decided to make the non-bugfix version public.


Gimme ideas and I will try to add them.



Thank you for all of this, it definitely helps and these are the kind of pointers I really appreciate. I've copy pasted it to my suggestions notes!


It's coming and thank you


Thank you for the feedback and I appreciate the kind words. I know about the neck breaking bug and Ima try to fix it soon.


All 3 of these should be fixed in the latest version, I think. Thank you for reporting these either way!


Yeah, this comment gets it. Additional characters are secondary I wanna add more interactions between the characters and between the streaming stuff first before I add more complexity. Thank you for the suggestions as well!


What? Lol NO!



This is exactly how to proceed. It's super easy at the moment to get money and it makes me feel apprehensive to make it more challenging because I might get a ton of people saying the pure route is impossible. I wanna add more money sink options so you can use all the excess money.

I'm not sure about the bug, can you send me the save file for when that happens so I can pinpoint it?

Noted about the scene viewer. And thank you for the comment!


Thanks!


Done in the latest version!


I will look into adding this



It's not strange at all. Why on earth is it strange? I don't know why I'm receiving comments like this or comments like "it's not a good look" if I upload the public version later. It comes across as extremely entitled. The itch version is supposed to receive versions with all the biggest bugfixes so it was intentionally supposed to be late because it takes time to fix those. The game is LITERALLY FREE and it's not like I'm making a massive amount through Patreon for the amount of work I put into this. Secondly, I don't know how morally correct it is for me to take money from supporters for exclusive access and then comment here regularly as well when the same stuff is being re-uploaded here for free within a day or two. Also I don't understand the big deal if I reply late? It's not like I update the game after many months either, it's literally a week or two, please be patient about my activity, I read every reply and I try to respond to as many as I can and I have a lot on my plate already. I'm not a regular here and I get busy with life, gamedev is hard as it is. If not I will straight up experience burnout and stop. Breathe in. Breathe out. Be patient.

I do wanna say I do appreciate everyone who takes the time to leave a comment or add suggestions or report bugs. All of it really helps!

I think there's a second shed scene that's supposed to trigger that currently doesn't sometime after the first. I get the message telling me to go outside but I can never find any actual scene and FMC and the landlord are just screwing in their room most of the time.

Also I think one of the largest strengths that the game currently has are the implied sexual scenes rather than the straight up fucking. One of my favorite things about the game is that you can sometimes look into the back and see the FMC just cooking around the house in increasingly less clothing. I'd love if you added more scenarios like that rather than straight up fucking.

Maybe have her occasionally pop in to sneak you a kiss that if she's corrupted it tastes funny.

Have her wear less and less clothing around the house.

Be able to see pictures of her in the landlord's room etc.

I agree with more hidden sex scenes. maybe if she's sufficiently corrupted by the landlord already he can start doing stuff to her during time we spend with her without our character knowing.

I might be too stupid for this game.

I need a money cheat.

Money from Streams are really random. The best way to get money is just to use Sponsors. A few days after the game begins you can select Sponsors from the Stream Dashboard. Just the pick the one that gives the most amount of money for the least amount of days while just doing whatever Stream without spending any money. Don't bother buying anything and you should have enough money to pay the landlord each week.

Suggestions I'd like to see:

This is because of a little quirk - If you leave your own door open and then knock on GF's door, select "Watch TV," and then select "Do something else" and you're at the point where you're doing doggy-style on the carpet, the door to your apartment is still open. Especially since the MC is already facing away from the door, it would be cool if the Landlord would occasionally stop by to peep at them in the doorway.

In line with the previous suggestion, it would be neat if the GF was riding the MC on the bed, and the landlord showed up at the back window and stuck his cock through it for the GF to blow him at the same time without the MC noticing because he's not looking in the right spot and/or closing his eyes. The window position might need to be adjusted for that, not sure.

Continuing the same theme (lol), have the Landlord drill a hole in the wall between his and the GF's room. We could have a scene where she's blowing the MC with her ass against the wall (knowing full well about the hole), and the landlord could fuck her through the hole. This could be done either with just being able to see the dick with the player positioning the camera just right, or if the player has the cheats, the camera could disregard the walls and/or have a transparent wall.

Have the GF get up from the date at the Coffee Shop and come back with cum on her chin. She could say she got a small snack and it's cream, and lick it up. Maybe even saying, "Yum" or something.

I'm really looking forward to cumshot animations, lol.

Maybe add some scenes where all 3 of them are together for some reason, and the Landlord is groping her behind the MC's back. In reverse, she could do things to the MC that the Landlord can't see. Maybe we could get a scene where the Landlord thinks he's getting one over on the MC by grabbing her butt, but unbeknownst to him, she's giving the MC a handjob at the same time, lol. Or the Landlord could even secretly be fucking her while she gives the HJ.


I know this is quite a bit, and I'm not expecting for these to pop up in the game any time soon (or at all for that matter), but these are the suggestions I have atm.

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.

I like these ideas, and spinning off from this, there could be a 4th Route: Cheating Slut. So, introducing other "bulls," but they're not persistent and/or there's also strangers. Add a couple locations like the pub as mentioned. Maybe a place with a gloryhole.

Storyline for the 4th Route: FMC loves the MC and wants to stay with him. There's no danger of her being stolen away, but she's become addicted to cheating sex, specifically. Not just one other person like the Landlord. The ending for this path could be split into 3: MC never finds out. MC finds out and is fine with it, steering back into the NTS path. MC finds out and breaks things off on his own.
