Is there actually a defined antagonist in this game or just npcs playing around with the heroine?

Well, strictly speaking, money is an issue because I live in an East EU, Post Communist Shithole where a decent salary here means well under minimum wage in a number of other countries. So while I'm living fairly comfortably, the 5$ that are a coffee or less for some is almost enough for a burger, fries and a drink here. (On some months, depending on exchange values, it's more than that... >.>") Which is why I always have to be mindful about stuff like Patreon and in general any international digital purchases.First off, thanks for showing interest! 100% don't stress about supporting if money is an issue, having you just hang out a free member is cool. There is a reason I am posting this on f95zone, and you will always find the second latest version here (or latest if someone else puts it up). I will also post it here when completed as I don't see any reason to fight the system
1. Patrons get the full game, I will update that on the Patreon to be clear. They also get access to the in development build. I don't really plan on selling the game anywhere else besides Patreon to be honest, but that might change.
2. The main limiting factor right now is funds for artwork. I have smashed through the code and writing and new artwork funds currently come from my wallet and paying an artist isn't cheap but it is worth it. As for actual timeline, I'm aiming for the end of the year for the game to be done. That being said, if I had a dollar for every time a game dev has given an incorrect estimate, I wouldn't need to run a Patreon lol. If I get a large influx, I think I could realistically half that time by bringing on more artist talent.
On the funding note, I only charge Patrons in a month that a build of the game is released and the demo doesn't count in my mind. So if I don't deliver that month, Patrons don't pay that month, it is only fair.
3. Yes, I plan on making them pretty much unlimited.
I think by US standards, most people in my country are beggars...
Ahem.
Getting back on topic.
Well, I hope that I will be able to support this game at some point, but we'll see. So many games, artists and writers... so little money to spend... I have way too many hobbies...
Finishing the game in a year definitely sounds ambitious. You have a lot of room for complexity even with the limit being only one in-game week, given the multiple permutations of stats and whatnot that can happen due to player choice. Art will also likely take a while, but it's hard to say what will be the biggest hurdles. I'll wish you luck either way.
Either way, I'd have recommended a longer starting demo. While what you have now gives an idea of what you intend, we're not actually shown any of the stats in action or how a normal day is expected to work. It's not really enough to let anyone know if they'll enjoy the gameplay loop, regardless of how long or short said loop is.
Having at least one free-choice day in a build is likely going to be essential in helping people choose if they're actually interested in the game or not beyond the fact that Molly's hot along with the promise of her possibly getting turned into a cock-hungry slut in a variety of ways.
For now though, I'll likely go back to lurker status. When it comes to in-progress games, I prefer to take long breaks between seeing builds, to avoid getting burned out on the game due to over-exposure.
Demo was enjoyable. You did a good job creating tension and then showing the MC's concern for Ginger. Seems like a great set up for a hot corruption story. Definitely looking forward to more and would consider supporting if this starts getting real progress. I also like that the you seem to want write a fast-paced story spanning a week rather than a grindy and meandering game. Though it's hard to imagine how you'll balance the trainer aspect with the one week period.

So is there any actual NTR or are we basically just playing a pimp, because what it sounds like we just playing a pimp and this game is falsely labeled as NTR.
So far a girl he seems to at least have a flirty/playful relationship with got kidnapped. If she gets raped and corrupted that would be sufficient for it to be NTR in my mind. Certainly would capture that feeling of loss and the supremacy of pleasure that makes NTR enjoyable for me.

Yeah, there are three antagonists with the primary one being "The Dictator".
Yeah, I contemplated holding off until I had all the artwork done for the first day of the sandbox section but the Patrons asked for the intro to be released so they could get a look at it sooner.
It seems like (going by your signiture) that you have a very narrow and specific thing in mind when you talk about NTR, which is fine all power to you. In this game, Molly is your friend and and can be your lover if you play your cards right, you can also determine if EX makes it more Netorase or Netorare depending on how willing the player's responses are. If that doesn't count as NTR for you, then it doesn't count but it does for quite a number of people.

It counts. Dont worry about that guy. Apparently he thinks he can dictate what a genre of games is or isnt and doesnt speak for the community, just himself. What he is describing is cuckolding which is obviously very similar but its not the same. I enjoy cheating content and the drama and chaos that surrounds it and how it affects all the characters lives and choices, but im not into the whole humiliation and cuckold thing. So if ntr was only that I would never play it. But anyway im looking forward to how this turns out. The spy premise is very interesting and I think it will mesh well with the projected content. I do agree with 1 thing that someone mentioned early, that hopefully there will be more save slots in the future so if you accidently make a wrong choice or something it will be easier to backtrack and change decisions or adjust stats and what not. But good luck wit the project looking forward to it.

I write everything without AI assistance. The only thing that is AI right now are the backgrounds that are placeholder and will be replaced once my artist finishes all the other art (and the initial slideshow that Quincy does but he is an AI so I may end up leaving that small bit in as it is played for comedy). Ideally I want to find a second artist that specialises in backgrounds.
My only other thought about NTR is that the demo did a way better job at establishing dynamic and relationship with Ginger than with Molly. Molly is literally someone we never met before while Ginger is apparently someone we've known for years and are close to. It's not obvious how this won't just be a trainer were you can choose to date or pimp Molly out.
But as I said, I think the writing in the demo is solid and definitely interested/excited to see what you have planned.

I don't want to be a sour plum but this demo wasn't really a good demo at all. There's a line at the end of the game that goes something like, 'I hope this demo shows you the quality of this game', but to be honest, nothing was demonstrated at all in this demo. It's merely a short VN prologue that introduces the characters, and spends like 2 minutes glossing over the prospective mechanics of the game. It never actually gives us a chance to actually play, say, 1 day. Basically, I expected a smidgen of gameplay and didn't get any of it.
I like the girls, they look good. Not a fan of the AI backgrounds at all, they make games uglier. For now, I'll put my trust in the developer to deliver decent gameplay and hot NTR, because I don't doubt they're capable of it. I just think this demo is a disappointment.

Don't think i've seen a more based dev before, gl on the project!

Fair point, I should have probably gone with "Prologue" or something similar as opposed to demo. As I mentioned before, I only released this version due to the request of patrons. The "Day One" build should be completed within a month as the coding and writing for the first day is done already, I am just awaiting artwork. I appreciate the feedback!

good luck with your game and don't mind the NTR "elitist" or the vanilla fans and do what you want to do ( + you don't owe them anything ! after all it's a pirate site lmao
