Good update, a lot of content, probably more than in chapter 1 which is a good sign because the first one was really short. hopefully the rest of the updates are also at least this long otherwise the game will take forever to get to the good parts
I've laid out the plans for chapter 3 and it will be the largest update to date. Aiming for a Christmas release.

i was thinking that as explanation, alternate universe where sexual liberty is common and maybe the dangers/downsides of it isnt prevalent. or if town they are in maybe one of the first or only towns in the state or country that allowed strip clubs or prostitution and it sort of made it that alot of sexual free women moved there. just very loose explanation but explanation nontheless.

as u say its still prefered over hours of explanation and maybe some dark elements that just bums u out (for exemple daddy issues due to distant or abusive dad, not very fun to include stuff like it in a sexy game i understand)
I am planning on an explanation in the next chapter. It has to do with Oogle Corp, which I will explain what it does. Hopefully it will make sense. There will also be some darker elements to this story, I don't plan on it to just be sex all the time.
Hopefully it will provide you guys with some insight, but leave enough gaps for you to come up with your own fan theories of why certain things are happening or what will happen in the future!

As I mentioned before, I only use AI for the renders and it is far from perfect in the sense that it does all the work for me. In my case, I spend most of my time manually editing the images in photoshop, creating scenes and more. Adding options or different paths is a risky move for a first time developer, but there's plenty of them on this site that have attempted this!

Unfortunately, 90% have the abandoned tag, so good luck with that.
Agreed, they always end up abandoning just when they get good. Would much prefer better quality, frequent updates where the story gets completed

Thanks for replying! You could blame my honed pattern recognition skills, but these pictures in particular are what's triggering these creepy vibes. Like, imagine a creepy sex offender or predator using something like that as their profile picture - this smug smirk, I call it the autogynephilia smirk, is mostly responsible for my impression of this.

For “blurring the wall” spend at least 6 months for each update, we still got nothing till now, and Dev is expected to abandon the project soon.
It’s happening with netorase phone too, trying to keep everyone happy and it’s just dragging the game out to the point where it’s getting stale already

The developer updated the game every 2 months and he will not quit development. He needs to release this damn remaster and everything will go back to normal.

Well, there are updates every month and he wrote about fetishes that will be in the future, so I'm not complaining. BBC sperm eating pregnancy, etc.

Wonderful update. It pushed the plot forward, Alice's friend was introduced, and we got characterization for Alice. I wasn't expecting her to be the shy type and the fact that her "slutty" side is her trying to charm her boyfriend; it's not bad but I wasn't expecting it, in case, I think it made help her as a character.

I don't get tired of looking at Alice. Her design is awesome.

I also wanted to know. Will Alice, in the future, when she and Luke's relationship has advanced to the point when she is fucking other guys, sleep with guys without Luke's knowledge too? This question comes from personal preference since I find it unbelievably hot when you have Netorase with a bit of NTR if it stays within the lines of trust between them. Like, we have gotten used to the fact that she fucks other guys, and the process is already established, that when we discovered that she slept without us being aware, it enhances the feeling of debauchery. As I said, this is only a personal preference.

"and the process is already established" I think when we get to this point, there will be many, many, many updates.

Yea... I can't say the above has been talked about even in dev chat, I would personally lean towards saying "No, as that is NTR and that isn't the goal with Alice" But at the same time, I'm not Abyss, I just help, and furthermore it's so many updates away anyway that it's sort of hard to really give a clear answer.

For now we're hard at work on the next update, longer term stuff is hard to give a clear answer on.

Understood. It was just out of curiosity, thanks for the answer.

I second this motion.

Sprinkling in a bit of "NTR" flavour into NTS spices things up, as NTS can get pretty boring after a while. Unless the game ends when it reaches that monotonous part, adding a bit of flavour to the ntsoup is always a welcome sight IMHO.

I feel Vulgar Reverie did this really well an update or two ago, when you get the first NTS BJ scene. The trust (and intentions) between MC and FMC is established very, very thoroughly, but it still plays around with MC being anxious about it actually happening for real, and it is (from what I can remember) still left as kind of a "one day, but not right now, so just tease him for now" type step for them to take in their relationship, but the FMC goes ahead with it of her own volition, and then texts MC about it, so she doesn't hide it from him for very long at all, but she still...takes the initiative and jumps into it. The whole thing was just super well done, in my opinion. On the edge enough to be exciting for NTR enjoyers, but still within the lines of appealing to those looking for NTS as well.

With that said, I like both NTR and NTS and don't mind whichever way it goes, but I generally agree with your post. I hope the developer doesn't get too discouraged by the whiners and isn't afraid of putting people out of the comfort zone a little.

I'm making this game, because I want to. I want to tell my story and if it pisses people off or people whine about it, that's unfortunate for them. I don't let anyone influence my end decision of how I want to tell the stories. Obviously I do polls and bounce ideas around within the team as well, but at the end of the day, I'm in control in what I put forward.
When I thought about creating this game, I wanted to include a variety of characters that each fill a certain niche kink, so that everyone has something to look forward to or can create a connection with a certain character. If anything, I hope it expands peoples fetishes a bit and might become more open about different fetishes, but that might be too hopeful
