He said on discord he has no plans on giving an exact date for it. I think he's going slow it down a bit. Personally, coding can hurt my brain a lot, so I'd understand tbh.

All the code is done, it's the dialogue writing that slows me down. It's my least favorite aspect and I really need to be in the mood to sit down and get it done (working on it right now tbh).

When I'm rendering, I can tab out and do other stuff while Daz does it's thing for 10 minutes or so, like watch Netflix. If I'm trying to write I get distracted easily (like checking the forum...).

I had a writer for half of the last update but it was expensive, and there was nothing left in the Patreon funds to pay for one this update.

How much time it will take to complete the remaining 40% dialogue?
Hope to play the game in this month

Good job on the latest update. It's hot, and makes it clear where you're going with the game. What I love is that you give maximum agency to the player: you can fight for and keep your girlfriend, cheat (with or without consequences) or lose your girlfriend to another. There's a powerful NTR theme, but you can block that possibility by not being a jerk.

My one concern is that some players might miss out on the sexual content in this update entirely if they don't make certain choices (or refrain from certain actions). Once you have more content overall, this will be irrelevant -- but right now, it might cost you some support. It might be a good idea to produce a simple guide with examples. (I don't think you need a full walkthough, now -- it's still quite simple to follow.)

The other thing is that some fellow denizens of this board prioritize visual porn over everything else, so your lack of animations could be a handicap. Let me be clear: I am not one of those people, and am very happy with your renders (the girls are hot). But my tastes are probably in the minority.

Great job, though.

I'm generally trying to avoid the 'NTR' label as from my understanding of the term, it involves 'jealousy and one unwilling participant', which believe it or not it is something even I don't personally enjoy. In my mind, this is more like swinging/swapping/sharing, however I know people like to group everything under one label and I'll never be able to satisfy those people.

For the 0.2.9 update, there's 4 possibilities:

- the player sees it from her POV and chooses not to cheat
- the player sees it from her POV and chooses to cheat
- the player doesn't see it and she cheats anyways
- the player doesn't see it and she doesn't cheat

At the same time, I want it to be based on their playthrough choices, and not a simple toggle or see it? yes/no choice. That means if someone plays through wants to see it but didn't, they probably need to restart. There is a walkthrough, however I need to add the choices from the latest update. That's also why I added the score notifications and the meter, though I admit it's not always easily apparent which conditions will trigger events. Basically if you don't want her to cheat keep her score towards Erik high, and if you do, get it as low as possible.

Regarding animations, it's a mixed bag. I was playing around with them yesterday, and I have a workflow to at least render and convert them now, plus it's a lot faster with the new hardware than it was when I previously did them. But I still can't create custom animations, which means I'm stuck using the pre-made loops. I think with some lighting and camera angles they might be 'all right', I'm going to try a few in the Day 3 content and see how it goes.

Hi! First off, this game has serious potential, looking forward to more! As for the animations, I have a love/hate relationship with them. I prefer VNs without animations or only short ones. Most often I get fed up with the average animation I see in games. Even good ones can become boring quickly and there are only a handful of VN games with animations I like.
So at least for me, you do not have to hurry with animationa at all.

I already managed to forget how much I hate the main character (Eric) in this game)


I like swinging / sharing / cheating content in games. But for me it only works if there is an MMC that I respect, and when there are two equal main characters.
For example, I love TAC. I played this game 20 times, by all possible routes.

Right there, the protagonist is the target of ridicule, looks like an idiot and acts like an idiot, especially compared to the other two male characters. That is, a typical cuck.

Plus, I have absolutely no motivation to cheat on my girlfriend. Compared to her, other girls are completely uninteresting.

But judging by the walkthrough, the girl will cheat on you in any case. The only difference is whether the MC knows about it or not.

So for me personally, assurances about different paths and variations just don't work.
The entire design of the game, characters, dialogues, etc. hint that the main theme of the game is cuckolding and humiliation.

Sorry for so many incoherent text, but I'm confused)

On the one hand, I don't like the male protagonist (or rather, I hate him) and cuckold / humiliation thing.

On the other hand, there is a stunning, well-written female lead. And the scenes with her promise to be very hot.

It would be better if the whole gameplay was from her point of view)

Huh :unsure:? Going by the dialogue during the bonfire scene (how you gain or loose points) and some interactions, I thought that the MC's girlfriend was there just to be a snack for those two motherfuckers and she would hop on their dicks the minute you turn around. If I remember correctly to avoid losing points you have to shut up and take all the shit they were talking, if you speak up you loose points with MC's girlfriend :WaitWhat:.

Did I understood wrong the character or got her right? I ask just to start planning my playthrough, might just feed her to the wolves and concentrate on the other characters.

I got the same impression. If you want to keep MC's "girlfriend" you have to be a passive punching bag, the moment you start acting with self respect you start loosing points. The other female characters might be better if you want to act normal.

I can say that the name sounds like "F*ck me" and all but, I actually learned Vietnamese and can say Phuc Mi is a real island in the South East Asia region.
