thank you for your feedback. What I meant was that the stories each escalate in such a way that they end up in very extreme places. The next chapter is such an escalation over the previous that it becomes difficult to top it. For instance, Reparations leaves off where the girl will be fucked by a horse. What is next from there, aliens to come down from space and breed her....
This is all likely my fault because I get bored of the story progressing sideways. If you look at Dating my Daughter... that is a game where they are happy with it just meandering all around, repeating all the same concepts, just scene after scene of the same thing. This is likely because the dev is trying to avoid what I did, where you climb so high on the ladder you can't climb down from it.
Well in that example, if you use yourself as the developer whos pacing is at 200mph, then the DmD dev is the opposite. Thats my issue with that game, the pacing is very slow and as you say, the sex scenes is just the same thing over and over again. I would say that in terms of pacing and variety from a developer, then i would say Faerin with Man of The House is by far the best example any dev can use for inspiration. It paces well (other than the building of rep points) and the sex with all the chars is varied in action, tempo and extremity (the irony ofcourse that the MCs younger sister is the daughter from DMD).
The biggest mistake I think I made in Reparations was pointed out by my old buddy
dunloprobert where instead of the MC being reluctant like in Bully the MC in Reparations really seems to want to go along with it. Really this was not a conscious decision I had just never spent much time thinking about the difference between these two perspectives. The idea of a "reluctant cuck" who is being forced to go along with it. There are definitely nuances to cuckolding and I'm not sure I've been able to explore them because the story goes too fast.
I wouldnt say its the biggest mistake, i think its just that its never REALLY explained why hes so "enthusiastic" to do literally anything he can to keep Natalie happy. You, as the MC, are thrusted into the same world as Bully (i think the president is referenced in Bully) with frankly a super hot girlfriend who probably no one can fathom as to why shes with him as shes WAAAY out of his league. Atleast in Bully, the MC is relatively rich so Tiff using him made sense in the beginning.
I think you just need to storyboard it tbh. You want to start here and end with "???" and try and see how to get there. Also dont close off your non cuck/ntr routes so early. i know you want to create a cuck/ntr game but seeing alternate endings would be good filler for chapters that just dont have enough content. The sisters lust for bestiality is an example of good filler to use.
If you need an example of how to branch stories. Go on Chyoa and find a story called "Descent into Debauchery". Briefly, late 20's white husband and wife couple who want to experiment with their sex life and story branches include Wife slave to Muslim patriarch, wife becomes BBC slut to black neighbour. husband wants wife to get knocked up by black guy(s), white wife/black bull but theres also white guy/black submissive girl and wife cucking husband. Hes only been writing the story since the end of March and theres a lot still to write.
