Mmm, I think the misunderstanding comes from the fact that I called that route
lust/corrupted in the guidelines
But in fact, it's the
corrupted route more than anything and it's very close to
evil route (I just let the possibility to reach it from high lust (and not only from evil points), but you are NOT forced to take that route either if you have high lust, you can choose the other option, and if you don't like NTR, protecting Rion is the obvious direction to take).
And no, choosing the GB is not a prerequisite on the lust options of Rion. It is the prerequisite to corrupt her. Different.
If that was confusing, then I'll correct the "names" of the routes in the guidelines
First route is romance/lust
Second route is corruption/depravation
Last route is straight evil/domination
Also, there is one thing I don't understand. You guys have the choice to do it or not, and yet still complain because you had the choice. It's like going to the bar and having the choice between Coke and Beer. And complain because Beer is proposed.
Nothing is forced here. Choosing to protect Rion will preserve your intimate relationship with her, and your lust points as well, so where is the problem?
That said, the fact this "corruption" route seems rushed, especially if you jump from the torrid night from day3 to that corruption scene, is a criticism I accept and understand. Maybe I should have not allowed the cross path between lust and corruption. And yeah, maybe that jump was a bit brutal and would need some polishing to make the corruption more progressive. That is something I will think about later if I have time. But again, it's an OPTION
and a side route, not a main one. If you feel it's out of place,why not taking the other option? I would understand your disappointment if there was no other way. But there was =>
don't let Rion be touched by anyone else. Ok, it's true there are no sex scenes for that path in this specific update...they are captured, not really the best place to have intimate sex imo, and it was warned beforehand that this update was action/story oriented . How come no one complained about Maddie having no sex scene in this update? lol. Anyway, you shouldn't be concerned about that, Rion won't miss any occasion to have some lewd moments with the MC.
You don't imagine how much work it is to manage so many routes, and the complexity to make all the crossing routes still have some sense whatever the options you chose before, especially as it's happening on the same timeline (I understand now, why almost no other developer do that kind of gameplay). So, yeah, sometimes some roamings will feel a bit brutal because what you did before was 1 of the 5 things you could have done before, and that one doesn't fit very well the next event. Yeah, I agree it can happen.
I'm doing what I can in my free time, usually during the night, because I can't live and work full time from it. I would like to have more time to polish every route, but the truth is that I should have closed and limited the number of routes, much more than I did.
Anyway, I made a poll on Patreon on that subject and the results are surprising so far. Or maybe it's the other way...
