VN Ren'Py Shadows of Ambition [Ch.4] [AbyssGames]

[TittyHeaven]

As I said, for my first project, I like to keep things simple and straightforward for myself. Learn, gain experience before delving into choices and different paths that are player-driven. I'd rather be able to put out updates every month than once or twice a year or what happens to most AVN's... Abandoned.

It does feel like a lot of new AVN devs take on too much too soon in their first or second projects. Big choice driven VNs with tons of characters are an ever increasing ton of work in every department as well as a huge 3-5+yr time commitment. It's a lot, especially if you still have a full time job. Big risk.

Making a few smaller games with limited choice, building experience and a support base confident you'll finish games before moving on to a big project witha lot of variables to manage feels a lot smarter.

What does the game focus more on? in ntr or nts?

NTS

 

[tallman102]

Played through Ch3. It's great, really looking forward to what comes next!

 

[AbyssGames]

Is the sharing dominant (girls only get with other people if you order it and generally submissive towards you), neutral (no real sub/dom dynamic), or submissive ( Girls occasionally humiliate the MC/ is dominant towards the MC)

Looking at the tags, it could go either way lol.

Only Alice & Luke are in an NTS relationship... so she wouldn't suck someones dick without Luke's go-ahead. Other girls have other paths & kinks. Not every girl is a love interest for the MC.

So will luke sleep around at all or is he just going to be teased endlessly by women of all kinds?

Thanks for responding, honestly I would like an ntr route more, but I'm not saying that as a criticism or because the game is missing something, it's more like something I would like, since the game looks great and seems to have good story and art

Sophie is on a NTR route with her boyfriend, just not with the MC.

He'll sleep around. He's not gonna be in the cuck chair.

How about a bean bag? Surely one cannot be cucked while sitting so comfortably! It's going to make a comeback soon, trust and believe!

I'm liking how the MC's career is developing. I only hope that something will happen in the story that will make use of his original skillset as a programmer. I do believe I am just as qualified as the MC in his new role, so I firmly believe that he'll find his girlfriend to be a very talented individual!

 

[drunkengh0st]

I will definitely check the game out. The art looks really promising. Let's see

Thank goddd. I was like please take me away from that direction haha.

Good he doesn't seem the cuck type. I remember playing a few games / doujins that started as NTS and then rug pulled me out and gave me a full NTR / CUCK experience and i dropped em hard.

Man, Can F95 get around to the tag updates sometime soon. All these new Ai games coming out listed with the netorare tag but ultimately being Netorase. They all look good, Albeit a bit to similar, But man idk what it is call me weird or whatever but actively encouraging your GF or Wife to fuck other dudes is worse to me than getting cheated on.

Cause lets be real most NTR games are just cheating not actual NTR. Almost none of them take the route of the guy actively knowing or watching the dude fuck their girl. Its typically the chick just cheating on dude and them never knowing. Wife Promotion seems to be the only 1 so far to be actual NTR so its the only one I am adding to the watch list.

Fun update, Andrea is best girl. Would like to see more from Alice, 3 chapters into the NTS game and all she's done is

which is a bit disappointing, at this rate she'll get fucked on chapter 10 or something like a year after the games initial release, that's if it even gets that far. Overall I'm hopeful and Dev seems to be doing a good job, but ambitious projects like these often get stuck early

I'm a bit confused by your post. I never claimed this was NTR. While there is an NTR relationship in the game, it's not with the MC, so I don't consider it to be the main genre. You're right that there is no tag for NTS, so unfortunately we have to use the NTR tag.

Hi Nate,

Thank you for your feedback. I mentioned this in my discord, but it's a hard balance to strike when it comes to how quickly the NTS scenarios progress. I wanted to really capture Alice's doubts and her not being 100% comfortable with the idea. With characters like Sophie fueling her corruption bit by bit. I don't want her to just jump on other guys instantly as that wouldn't feel believeable.

All I can say is that I am 100% committed to this game and seeing it progress further, making each update better than the last when it comes to storytelling, visuals and more. I've already laid out the rough plans for Chapter 4 and have slowly started working on it, while also trying to enjoy the holidays.

My goal is to make updates every 30-45 days.

Nah your game is great, it would be nice if we did have a new tag for Netorase on the website. Cause we range from shadows of Ambition like this to... that other game.

I am also actually liking the art style a lot, and it seems this only a kinetic novel atm? Are there plans in the future or a vision of what you want the game to be like or?

Also can't wait to see updates for the game love your game dev!

So my plans are to keep this simple for myself by keeping this game a kinetic novel. Once I've learned as much as I can and I get my workflows properly optimized, I will most likely make another game in the future, which will be player choice driven.

That is what I mean, When searching under the Netorare tag this game shows up. I assumed like I did with other games, MNGF, Moonripple, etc that it was an NTR game. While it does feature one, The main selling point of your game is NTS and that's not what i'm looking for. So it just sucks when you using the search feature to find your tag and games popup for it that look good but don't really fall into the category

We've been asking for proper labeling of the NTR gender for quite some time now, but unfortunately nothing has been done to change it yet. It's as simple as just adding a new tag and name it netorase (some games add the netorare and swinging tags to identify a game as netorase, but it's not the same).

This game doesn't have the swinging tag because there's not swinging on the game yet.
