How do you activate the cheat to reveal all galleries?
Welcome to NIF club. I hope you enjoy your stay.

Warning: While playing, users may experience complex emotional reactions, sudden feelings of affection for redheads, deep sadness at the disappearance of Mr Silver Lust, and intense wonder at the marvels of Chess. If your erection lasts for more than four hours, please consult a doctor.

Now, regarding you question ---

Q: "How do you activate the cheat to reveal all galleries?"
A: It's not a cheat, it's already built into the game.

Open the Gallery page and select a character. Then you'll see something like this:

1757585683645.png

The thing I have circled is a toggle to make all scenes for that character viewable. If you turn it off again it goes back to showing only the scenes you've seen in the main game flow.
On this screen you can also switch character with the name buttons, and also filter to show only a subset of the views with the "scenes" selector - i.e. sub only, or dom only, or romance only.

In addition to this gallery view, there is the "Scenarios" function, which lets you play scene by scene through a subset of the game that hits (nearly) all of the events for a chosen character, while also selecting the specific path with that character (i.e. Kim with Cunning mode :love:).

Scenario mode is not exactly like playing the real game and choosing all the events for a specific character, because it abbreviates or skips some of the plot-development scenes that don't involve sex, and also does not cover some stuff that is cross-character events. But it is an interesting way to see what happens with Character "X" on path "Y" without replaying the whole masterpiece.

The question is this...

Could we have an AVN that starts with MC and girlfriend being all lovey-dovey in their slice of life experience, until a wild KIM appears and leads MC astray?

Would that microcosm scenario work just as well as Kim's character does in NIF?

Or is there something vital to the more complete world of NIF that is filled with various romance-able characters, that allows a stage to be formed upon which the bitch may strut?
Honestly, as a sole LI, she wouldn't work. I think her being part of this very grounded and down to earth scenario helps her, as she's the outlier that is just a bad person. Everyone else i trying to live their life, they may bring drama unknowingly or accidentally, but Kim does it on purpose, she specifically pits people against one another to feel a thrill. You need the rest of the cast to compare, so she works perfectly as part of the game, but wouldn't work as a one man band.

That is why one of the best written routes is MC as an asshole too. I actually generally have little interest in maledom, for reasons I won't go into here, but this is really the closest I've seen to how these types operate irl, it's just so brilliant. Evil MC and Kim working together to cause as many problems as possible is just an amazing route. It's the villain arc you don't get to see most times in anything. It's MrSL's crowning achievement, even though I hate everything that happens in it (haha). That's because it's just written so well.

But I strongly suspect that route is what's really causing problems in development. It was too good. Well, too bad? I'm not sure. Everything else in the game is young people going through their lives, with some insecurities, searching for someone that they can spend life together with. And then there's Kim and manhole as I wrote for that save. Honestly that route really probably should get closed off in the next chapter, if it ever released, to write them both out, either they get away or both end up in jail or dead.

I like her because she is awful, she knows it, and you know it. If you decide to pursue her, you have to accept her for how she is, as she is not going to change. I think this is an interesting dynamic for a love interest, because in other games, her relationship arc would be about you "fixing" her.

It's a shame that the game currently ends just as her proper path was starting at the culmination of everything it was building toward, as we were properly entering into a relationship with her.

One correction - which is largely irrelevant given the state of this game :cry: - but Lea's path definitely had plans to go further. There's the whole sex scene with her in the party bathroom where she fantasizes about having a threesome with one of his friends.
Given that the skill "free use" is in there somewhere, I had the feeling that Lea's path was at some point going to end up with her sitting somewhere butt naked and available to all comers. Or servicing a gloryhole, or maybe two of them at once...

I'm going to be looking at this in my steam library with sadness forever now.

Such a masterpiece. Hell I'd take a rushed ending to tie things up at this point.

Ah, fuck; that feeling when you accidentally hit the forward button and your post is gone ... sigh.

In summary: late to the party, which by now has turned into a wake ...

Fun game, really enjoyed it. Great characters, nice variety of kinks.

MC's voice could have been more academic/professional, he sometimes sounded more wikipedia-article level than a professional. And that level of writing did impact the occasional other scene too; for example in a certain breast-humiliation-path "he" repeats "tiny tits" 17 times in a row (approximately ^^) and apparently can't think of anything else ...
... of course there's some minor stuff here or there too, but that was the main thing for me. Nothing that ruined the fun or anything, but room for improvement.

Also, with all the branches and whatever I can't say I'm surprised this apparently isn't going to get finished. If anything, anything else would have surprised me ^^#

Hey, MrSilverLust, you just made me very happy. Want you to know that!


Hi everyone. Long time no see.
It's hard to believe that it's been almost 11 months since the last post, when I paused the monthly billing. Since then, things haven't exactly gone according to the plan: I spent much less time working on game development than I used to do before the pause. I guess it's easier to keep a consistent working schedule when there are people supporting you monthly and you don't want to disappoint them or waste their money.

During those 11 months, there were periods when I worked a bit more consistently and considered writing a post to tell you about the progress, but it always felt bad to not being able to say anything concrete, or give a release date for the next update. It would just be a "still working on it, slowly" kind of post. So, I'd just tell myself, "work more next month and you can then tell them the update is almost finished and ready to be released. That will be so much better". Well, the following month would come and go, and I'd still be in the same position.
Next month it is, then. And then the next. And one day you wake up and it's been almost a year. I'm sorry for taking so long.
Well, this is the waited time, at last. Chapter 8 will, most likely, be ready some time in November. It'll be the last big chapter. After that, there will still be another update to act as an epilogue and wrap things up, although I'm not yet sure what format it will have or how big it will be.

Endings are hard to do. Even multi-millionaire productions can screw them up. You can imagine how hard it is to pull off a good ending when for a story when you have been writing it for years and can't even change what is already out. To complicate things, NiF is kind of a soap opera. There are no overarching plot points, no big bad guy to defeat, no ring to destroy. It's just a few people living their lives. The story could keep going on and on. But, nothing is forever (lol). You have to end it at some point, call the "and they lived happily ever after" screen, and let the credits roll.
The hard part is making all the paths end in a satisfactory way at the same time. Some paths might already feel boring and I don't know how to keep them going properly. Others might feel a bit rushed. Others could still go on for longer and might end a bit too soon. It's just not easy to give a good send off to all paths.
Some of the problems already come from previous chapters: some scenes should have happened earlier, so that there would be a better pacing between events and it wouldn't need to be somewhat rushed now at the end. But, when every release is always running late, it was always easier to just finish the chapter as is, and push some scenes to the next update and make it work somehow. And I think it worked/will work in most cases. Perhaps not with Bri, where I completely butchered what I wanted to do with her story and the pacing of her relationship. I think that's definitely the worst offender. But I don't think the other ones will be as bad, although some will probably work better than others.

It's just too difficult to keep so many paths going. Development is hard. Every individual player just sees a little bit of the whole chapter and complains the update is too short. This truly is the best place to finish the story. I know there will always be someone wanting more of a certain LI, or being disappointed that kink/scene X didn't happen the way they imagined it would (or at all), but this is the best solution in the end.

I really hope people end up liking this update and not feel disappointed. It's already bad enough that this release cycle turned out to be so cursed, I'd hope the update itself is also not bad.
But let's see in a month or two. Second half of November or so.

PS: With the release of a new update for "Decked in Love" and the release of the next update of "Nothing is Forever" approaching, I'll let the Patreon billing restart in October. If you want to cancel your membership, please do it before it restarts. Also, please remember that, if you already contributed with €15, you have/will have a game key and will get the next NiF update even if you're not a Patreon supporter. Thank you.
