i did not say this game has no animation, what i meant by " so lets wish that this game doesn't take that route " is the 9 months update of that other game i'm talking about.
- Thread starter 7767
- Start date
I will keep the faith but even my optimism takes a hit when the devs mention a possible release date and it passes without communication.Soon. Should have been out last week if all had gone according to plan, but the devs suffered some setbacks and it's pushed the release back quite a bit. Nearly ready now.
Though, that's no reason for all the vitriol that we see in this thread. I can't imagine the terrible nature of the DM's these two receive.

Wonder if there will be sexual scenes in the update. Games like this with such a focus on narrative tend not to be 100 miles an hour into girls knickers affairs, everyone is slow and methodical and yet who are we supposed to fuck? We barely even met the new employee, the triplets are just in the door and even less likely is we start fucking the cliffhanger mother who turned up at the door for obvious reasons. Maybe we will get a sneaky dream sex-a-thon to hit a fap quota without sabotaging the story just to pander to need to offer jerk material.

Anything sexual with more than one person like HJs, BJs, fingering, pussy licking, etc, is most likely not going to happen, at least not with the triplets since they've only just met their Dad. Maybe we'll get an "accidental" kiss from Brooke on the lips and see one or the 2 of the girls semi-nude or fully nude like what happened with Allison before, and perhaps even see one of the girl's masturbate, but that'll probably be about it.
None of this is bad, however, as the slowburn of the relationships is sure to be a strongpoint as it will make it that much more satisfying. I imagine this game will be similar to DMD because that game also to spend time building good foundations with the estranged daughter to make her comfortable with the idea of being sexually active with her Dad.

I hope you are really wrong, as much as I like the slow burn, DMD was fucking snail pace, and I kind of want to support this game, if only I knew it wouldn't be so long between updates.

I actually thought the pacing was okay. Yes, it was on the slow side but you made progress. It probably was more noticeable due to the division into chapters and would have seemed less so if it were one continuous game.
There are other things I would fear more like the fact that DMD was (and still is) not able to end and by now "eat out with daughter then eat daughter out" has overstayed its welcome. Graphics/render wise I am also not a huge DMD fan, but I am confident that this is nothing we need to worry about here.

The thing is though, if the MC starts having sex with his daughters within 3 or 4 updates, that will be too fast for me and it would lose a lot of that sincerity that I feel the story has. We may only be at the beginning, but I get the feeling that SirD is wanting to build a deep, rich story and that quickly getting into the girls pants will run counter to this goal, even on the Darkness and Lust paths. He's only just met these girls so it should take time to build a connection with them, and I honestly wouldn't expect any sex with them until at least update 6 or 7, but he could have sex with other female characters like Brooke before then.

I also feel that inserting scenes with the main characters too early will make the game feel almost complete which may result in lesser interest in the continuation. Not for story interested people but for some more conquest oriented ones that may become a problem.

Perhaps I am showing my age but there was a song that went, "sweet dreams are made of this"
Can always have dream scenes.
Or you have triplets, Allison looks good to go, fuck her easy, more work to fuck Olivia, even more work to fuck Maddison.

This is the only thing I am going to disagree with. Its not how fast it happens externally that makes me like/dislike a slow burn (so number of updates before sexy times) but how much time passes >in game< that matters to me. if the game is gonna operate on the day by day structure , and each update is only a few days at a time, then yes, them having ball slapping hard dicking nasty sex in 3/4 updates is to fast. but if the amount of time that passes in say the next update is a month or two... then update 3 having sex with one of the triplets would be fine for me.
Basically, while I enjoy slow burn stories from time to time, the slow burn has to make sense for how the game is being presented. I would actually be really sad if 2 years and 5 updates from now we have only gone through 5 in game days for example.
So for a slow burn story in general, assuming that each update is an hour of content, getting 5 hours of content (the first release plus 3-4 updates) with no sexy times with the main love interests would make me question the game. Unless there was a fuck ton (hehe) side character boinking.
I totally agree as I'd prefer a more "realistic" slow burn (I actually don't want to do anything sexual with the girls), however the wait time in between updates means that the player (not the MC) is waiting a very long time for any lewd content with the girls. With the impatience I see from people who seem to not be able to find an alternative fap option I don't think that the community is going to be very tolerant of the wait. Not advocating a rush to lewdity but at the same time I can understand the perspective of the "more fap, less plot" crowd.
<shrug> I bet Alorth and Dammed never expected this game to blow up as big as it did, I hope they don't give in to pressure and they just make what they want and not what the masses demand.

I honestly don't think we're going to see this game advance weeks or months at a time because then it loses that good build-up feeling if you're not seeing how things are advancing. You want to be part of as many moments as possible with these characters, doing things with them, getting to know them, building up the relationship, etc. But if we play just a few days worth of story in 30 minutes then it jumps to 2 weeks later, there's a lot we've missed and the game would be all the lesser for it.
Again, a game like this feels like its going to build things gradually so jumping over large periods time to quicken the relationships by having you assume the relationship has grown quite a bit off-screen would cheapen the eventual conquest because you weren't as active a participant in getting it to that point as you could have been.
All the best games have good, solid build-ups of the relationships between characters by having players continually interact with them each day over the course of several weeks and I would like to think that this game is going in that direction too.

Well, I see two aspects to a "slow burn".
First, it must burn. Something must be happening between the characters. Some games have no chemistry, no advancements, then sudden sex after 12 hours and consider themselves a slow burn, to which I disagree. This is somewhat covered by the "time passed" aspect but not wholly, since
second, it really is about progress. A game which starts with introducing you to a love interest, then puts in a screen "you got along well, and after intense dating after one year finally ..." cut to sex scene. Progress is made, a believable amount of time has passed, but since we did not see and feel the progress, it is worthless and still not a slow burn.
And yes, for the player (as opposed to the character) waiting time may easily exceed the "curious" area into the "annoying" area. But that's the price if you support (or pirate) games in development you have to accept. The only true measure from an artistic POV can be what happens in the finished product. (Note: I don't want to imply that you have to support every and any waiting time financially, but that it cannot matter from an in game story perspective)

Part of how I just visual novels, and explicitly sexual visual novels especially, is how they adhere to the principles of trad fiction. I used to read a ton of romance novels. They slow burn like a mofo, some harem themed books might even stretch a conquest out over 2 books. However, in those 2 books the male lead is gettin some often enough to keep the reader interested even if the prime target (or best girl!) isn't laid until the last chapter of the book.
When I say I will be sad if there is no sexual progress made in 3-4 updates, I am currently taking into account development time, and expected size of each update. You (the theoretical poster reading my comment) might have a different view on how soon before the triplets get it, and how much detail you need to see of the relationship growing and blossiming. I do think that those moments are important. What I don't think is important, even in a slow burn story, is every single day being milked until there is no more blood in the stone.
So that is why, as good as the art and writing are in this game, and the other games by these creators... IF things take so long that its 3-4 updates of an hour or so of content on average the triplets haven't had some explicit situations, I would be sad.

Why? This is a novel first...porn very second. Always pornhub if your right hand is getting twitchy
Also, if you're not a patreon, you're not being milked are ya.It is an erotic novel, I am judging it on the same thing I just other erotic novels on.Why? This is a novel first...porn very second. Always pornhub if your right hand is getting twitchy
I can in fact pull up several different variants on the slow burn-instant porn spectrum with a quick opening of my kindle app. If i really wanted porn I don't even need porn hub at this point.
As to milking, that is not in reference to stringing your patrons on with a slow trickle of content to keep the money faucet drippin. I was talking about milking the day by day story structure as an excuse to not have sexy times in the interest of 'slow burn' similar to the complaints about sandboxes being there to prevent progress instead of being a different style of game
Anyhow. All I am saying, is that for me, and only me... I would be sad if this novel took the narrative equivalent to a full book to get to the sexy times with the triplets.
Judging by Polarity the sex may not take very long. Though he could be going for a different approach this time.
If it is slow burn as some call it better to just come back in 5 years. Hope there's no abandoned tag and maybe the first sex will come 6 months after that.
There are definitely things they could have if they're looking to include sex. Fantasies or dream sequences. Introduce a new character who is more promiscuous. The girls might make a friend with hots for their dad for example.

Seems kinda arbitrary to set a number of updates you want to see before MC can start having sex with certain characters. Also at the rate the game is moving that means you won't see that content til approximately 2022
Either way, knowing the devs other work, I doubt there will be a lack of sexual content. Polarity throws the pussy at you thick and fast and I expect the same from this once things get going. I predict a few more characters will be introduced soon to satisfy that criteria.

Well, yeah, I'm not saying there won't be any sexual content until then, just that I feel like getting on with the girls too early could potentially ruin the general feeling of this game since I get the sense that it's going to have a slower build-up to make it more meaningful with them rather than just rushing in.Seems kinda arbitrary to set a number of updates you want to see before MC can start having sex with certain characters.
