VN Ren'Py Playing the Girlfriend [v0.1] [NoctaEterni]

[Xill]

Speaking of choices - what will they lead to? I didn’t see any indication that NTR will be unavoidable, but does that mean that one path will be NTS (for example, telling her husband the details of Brenda’s request instead of keeping it vague) or? I don’t think NTS fits this story at all, so maybe it’s the Loyal path?

The current choices seem to be about telling the husband, and keeping it a secret. And the dev said he will either be aware of what's happening with Tyrone or he won't be.

So, either the husband gets knowingly cucked or unknowingly cucked?

Frankly, if that’s the plan, the game might as well be kinetic NTR.

Nice hey man if you can can you open a subscribe star page ? for ppl who can't use patreon due to geo lock and other reason it would be nice for them when you start to monitize the VN

Subscribestar does exist, but since there wasn’t an existing game at the time of creating the account, it wasn’t approved. In the email they asked for proof that the game existed, but its hard to provide links to places discussing the game while it was still in development…

Although I’m not sure that would have made a difference anyway, since the Subscribestar account approval process seems to be problematic. I often see links here to inactive Subscribestar accounts — and not only for new games, but also for ones that have been around for quite some time.

In any case, the link was included in the game, but the account is inactive:

I don’t think it’s a kinetic novel, since you’ll have the option to refuse crossing certain intimate boundaries — for example, at the point of a kiss, you can choose to refuse the kiss and so on... In any case, you don’t have to cheat on your husband — you can treat this this unconventional way of helping purely professionally and remain a faithful wife xD You’ll also be able to refuse to help Brenda, but in that case it’s practically the end of the game, since there will be very little content for this path.

Anyway this is my first game, and I’d rather make something simpler than abandon it after a few months because the number of story paths has multiplied so much that I wouldn’t know what to do with it xD

Alright, so it's a version of the Loyal Path, where the FMC doesn't fall for Tyrone and his charms and remains devoted to her husband? That's fine.

I was mostly worried about adding unnecessary NTS stuff.
The loyal path won't be too complicated to maintain, as it mostly ends up being less scenes, not more scenes needed.

An NTS path would effectively be where the wife is open about what she's doing (so in that initial key choice, she tells her husband everything), and he eventually starts to like the idea and push her to cross those boundaries when they come up. That makes sense as a second path option in a game like this.

A loyal path is where I question why you're playing a game where the whole premise is a wife playing the girlfriend of someone else. I get not wanting NTR or NTS content, but if you're just after loyal husband and wife games, surely the best bet is to play the ones that don't have NTR or NTS in the first place? I never understand that clamoring to have a loyal path in these games where everything about the game says that it's about the exact opposite.

I'm only going off of what the dev has said about the paths, literally 2 posts above yours.

He says the wife will be able to stay faithful (except maybe occasionally kissing Tyrone) if you so choose.

Frankly, I'd rather we have a weak "Loyal" path + a proper NTR romance path, then a half-assed NTS path when it doesn't make sense here.

I disagree that an NTS path doesn't make sense here. The way I see it, a loyal path would be the weak one, because there'd be next to no content, whereas an NTS path has opportunities to equal the content of the NTR path, just with some variations. The bit about people clamoring for a loyal path in these games was meant as a more generic note, but specifically for this game, I don't see why it would be needed at all, because the premise of the game is anything but loyal wife (otherwise you're just having wife goes about her daily routine, and it's almost slice of life instead).

For the love of God - read the dev's comment again then.

He is clearly only making a Loyal path and an NTR path - because his primary motivation is to make a proper NTR romance. He says so by confirming he wants to keep the game simple.

The dev's comment doesn't come into it though. It doesn't change what makes sense to me in the premise of the game. I'm not talking about what's going to happen (which the dev presumably knows, but I do not), my comment was in response to you saying that NTS wouldn't make sense in this game, when my opinion is that it absolutely would - whether it ends up being included or not. (Also if the motivation is to make a proper NTR romance and keep the game simple, then having a loyal path is in direct contflict to both of those individual parts!)

The way I see it based on what we've been told. There's going to be two main paths and two sub-paths. We can already make a choice for the main ones in the first version right now. That's whether or not to tell the husband what the plan involves.

That's a choice the FMC makes when it comes to her husband.

From what the dev is saying, it looks like the FMC will be making choices with Tyrone as well. Accept or reject his advances.

So now you have a few paths where:
- You tell the husband, and accept Tyrone's advances.
- You tell the husband, and reject Tyrone's advances.
- You hide the full plan from the husband, and accept Tyrone's advances.
- You hide the full plan from the husband, and reject Tyrone's advances.

Although the dev also mentioned that we'll get a choice to help Brenda or not. But I'm not sure if that's supposed to be the same thing as accepting or rejecting Tyrone's advances. Not sure how it would work anyway if we don't help Brenda considering the entire story seems to be focused on that.

Please for the Love of God no unnecessary NTS path please

No screw NTS path we need genre pure NTR games first

A Loyal path would require less dedicated scenes than a true NTS path, the dev even says that (if we’re talking true sharing instead of the husband just being “I’m okay with you having sex with Tyrone as long as I know about it”) FMC can stay faithful to her husband - that means no sex whatsoever, so it can’t qualify as NTS at all. And the last option would be some type of an early ‘game-over’ where the FMC doesn’t agree to help Brenda at all.

Not a lick of NTS was mentioned.

You mentioned NTS and I was responding to your comment about it

Yeah, because I was initially worried the only current choice in the game might’ve implied an NTS path, which in the context of this game wouldn’t make much sense when combined with what the dev said about “staying faithful by confessing”.

 

[Xill]

So, are you guys saying that both choices lead to an NTR path, one where the husband is fully aware and one where he isn't? I would assume the one where he's aware is an NTS path. Unless you really want him to suffer, lol.

No, because the dev confirms that by telling the husband the FMC can stay faithful to him - presumably by not crossing some lines in pretending to be Tyrone’s girlfriend.
