OK this game showed us something, and it is that the development of a game must be planned from the beginning long before even coding it, the story must already have a logic and know what content may or may not be present, make games with "routes "It is not easy, in fact it becomes complex and annoying for the developer since he has to make content for one route and then for the other and in the end nobody will be satisfied (it is already seen in other games), the decision to eliminate this content mentioned was correct, I do not mean the elimination of the ntr, but the elimination of 1 path to focus on another, for your first game I think it is better to do that, and regarding that content (and I know that This is not going to like many), I think I could add it not as a route but as an extra content (you already know some avoidable scene), it does not even require to be ntr as is (you know, the MC suffers, it is left aside and lose the girl), could be share (MMF include do to the MC), swinging with some npc and their partner, or prostituting a girl, I think they are less invasive options for some players, in addition to being extra and avoidable, no one is going to complain ... a lot :ROFLMAO: and they require less work than a full path.(y)

Whatever the dev's reasons for doing this you have to respect them and let him work, if in the end you don't like his game (it's respectable), just ignore it and go to the next one.;)
Doesn't that just present the same problem that was solved though? You just said that in removing the path it creates less problems, but also in the same argument say that he should spend his time away from the route to make Extra scenes? I don't have a horse in this race, but just wanted to point out the disconnect. I think it would be good to challenge that kind of thing in their second project no?

Just gave this a twirl and am liking it very much. The story is very interesting and quite ambitious, especially as some of it plays out in the past. And while the guys are in dire need of better barbers, the gals are lookin' mighty fine throughout. There's many to like and some to love:

Best of luck, Tiimx, keep it up!

No, this is connected, there are many games that can add content share, swinging or prostitution in a game without colliding with anything and in fact be 100% faithful to the story, this story does not seem to be about love or an MC that seeks to have A beautiful and loving relationship with the girls, it is seen that this is darker, after all it talks about drugs, in this case it is not unreasonable to be able to put that content without being forced, of course this is not mandatory (personally it suits me if he do not put anything) but it is an option that can be less "rough" if he want to add more "penises" to his game.

They meant that it is still extra work for the dev.

I think you misunderstood me. You made the point that time was being taken from the main path. This literally does that. I'm not debating whether or not it's intrusive to the path itself. Though I personally, I disagree that it can be added without impacting some of the story, I agree that it can be done in such a way that satisfies most. Just not me.

Right, they are both right, I think it's better that he remove that content 100% and that's it (I don't like it anyway :ROFLMAO:), I said it just in case the dev was still looking to put something in, he could do it extra (1 or 2 scenes I don't know a path), but if he remove it 100% then better and everyone happy.(y)

It could be something they do at the end or when the game is close to finishing. You know how people around here loathe waiting for updates.

That would be a lack of sense for the story, the best thing you can do is make it 100% free of ntr and that's it because if after many updates you put it in, it will suck, that is, you already have a relationship with the girls and suddenly you put an npc who steals them from you? that would be screwed and the worst thing is that they have done it and it sucks, better leave it like that and be free of problems.

I feel like that happened to Dating my Daughter. The sharing in that game became SO intensive in chapter 3 that it turned me off completely from both the Dev and game. The updates were already few and far between, but then they mega leaned into the NTR/Sharing HARD.

I don't think this game has to worry about this, but I feel DMD and Mr.Dots is the worst case scenario. There are 50/50 NTR games that I forgive more than the fiasco that was DMD. Seriously, what happened to my favorite game?

I understand you completely, just now I spend with Max life, the game was fine and suddenly because of an idiot he began to put "share / swinging" after spending days making the girls love you and they will have to you now it turns out that they are all whores and that without problems they prostitute themselves or make porn videos, just like that.

I think that removing that content was a good idea, that it focuses on a good story and character development and the game will be a sure success, also to cause an impact on the player it is not required to put it in, just watch Acting Lesson or Dreams of desire.

P.S. Good thing you tell me about DmD to delete it from the list and better move on to Radiant.

This surely seems to be a hidden gem. Renders aren't flashy but the overall experience is very worth (I'm all for mindfvk stories- and a cheerleader that's the polar opposite of a diva/queen b? That's actually innovative).

Regarding the lava-hot burning topic (you know, the one that starts with n- and ends in -tr),well, imho, I can see why people want to avoid it (especially in situations where you really get attached with the characters) but like some others said, it can perfectly fit into the story if done right;and in a game that reeks of covert ops and espionage where literally every girl you meet can be an enemy agent apparently :KEK: there aren't many things that come to mind where it could be more fitting (plus, for example the girl doing it could very well be acting in order to earn trust and extract information but the mc wouldn't know that; so, it would be like Schrodinger's ntr).

Regardless, hope it turns out as the dev would like

I may surprise you, but for those who do not like "3 letters", these "3 letters" will never fit into the game. Some may accept this under certain conditions, but not all.
I will not speak for everyone, but personally I am disgusted by the idea that the girl you like gets meat prick from someone else.
Аnd ntr was removed at will by the developer based on feedback (or I don’t know something :ROFLMAO:), so I don’t think there will be any problem here :).
