No idea! I'd very like to be involved from a project from the ground up with Uber, when I first joined there was a lot of fundamental issues with the narrative etc, a lot of stereotypes. I was faced with a choice between trying to work around the issues or to just suggest restarting the game from the ground up with Uber. Consider Uber would absolutely have hated the second idea, and I think the audience would have just given up then and there at the time, (We didn't have much audience goodwill), I decided to work around the issues and get to where we are now.

Though personally, I like giving players choice, I'm a huge fan of RPG's where the players get to control the kind of story they want. So take from that what you will, but by the time we start the next game (in the way distant future), I'm hoping to make it even more ambitious than this in every way.
In short, wait and see.

It's definitely one that's bothered me the most. I want to be more than just 'tag-teaming' etc, while the others are straightforward, this one is the most tricky as a balancing act. In my mind at the moment, it's a 'what if' which will allow the player to see a very different side to Darnell and reveal more of the secrets that the main route won't necessarily reveal.
As I know you already know, that's a pretty hard sell considering both other routes have Darnell as the main rival and major asshole. I know I'm just one guy but sharing is a bit "NTR lite" for me, and I'd want something more substantial than a Darnell focused story to get me to play the route.

Back before I realized I couldn't read, I thought the friendship route was the only one with pregnancy, maybe as a mechanic to "claim" women away from Darnell, which could have been an interesting idea. So if you remember some idiot being excited about the friendship route it was me....

It's generally the route I'm least confident with at the moment, BUT, In fairness, it also the route I've put the least thought into at the moment, so there is that.

So until I have a more concrete plan with it, there's not much I can add.

Instead of making another route that focuses on the black dude why not make another one that actually focuses on the MC? Sure a cuckold route was promised, and a chunk wants it, so give them that route. But a even bigger portion hate Darnell and doesn't want to see them at all. Its a waste of a route and development time, it only appeals to cucks.

Yeah right, a restaurant and players's psychology are completly the same.
Pff.
To me it's more compairing sex to restaurants. It's rare I get actually disgusting by what people eat. It's close enough though. It's not like the message is obscure or wrong.

It isn't supposed to be a Darnell route, it's supposed to be a 'Team route', a sort of middle ground where you help each other score girls and deal with the main plot from a different angle. It's one that me and Uber would need to discuss its functionality and if the demand is still there, or whether we can make it unique enough to justify it, (we are far too busy with the main Route at the moment to even talk about it really). It was also a route that was promised before my involvement, so I do feel obliged to see it through.

If nothing else it sounds like a refreshingly different take. It may not be somehing I particularly like but I might check it out for curiosity alone.

Yeah great, another route where he bangs half the girls, very original, very fun. Of all the ideas that could be done that has to be the most awful. Not to mention the amount of time it would take to make two versions of each scene for each girl. Just a waste, a boring waste.

I disagree, again I mentioned I'm not too into sharing but how many games do you have friend to be a wingman for you or you be a wingman for him? That's kind of interesting.

I literally haven't even wrote a single word of it yet. As I have put zero thought into it practically. Stop jumping the gun, I have no idea what the plan will look like when I actually map it out.

Karma's point still stand.
I am not a NTR fan and adding more contents of things I am not into would probably slow down contents for things I am into. However, there are other people who are into it. I dont see the point in complaining unless production of contents you are into is slowed down drastically.
uuuuuhh.
I am not complaining about anything. I knew from the first time a played this game that it will have NTR in the futur, I read patreon page and post on this forum, etc.
I just want to remember you all that my original post was to ask a simple question to the Devs. U_u

Have you guys thought about doing a patreon poll about adding the friendship route?
If there isn't any "want" about it, maybe start thinking about a different 3rd route.

Oh that was mb. I was not trying to address you specifically with that statement but I did think you were one of the people complaining.
Well, I am clearly a 100% NTR hater, but I am not complaining here.
I try to enjoy the current game because I really love the art style.
And when the time of NTR will come, well, I guess I will drop it.
It's life.

Just remember to do what you love, do what you guys are inspired to do so the work stays steady and the quality top notch. Too many devs burn out from listening to the masses. It seems to me that you planned NTR from the beginning (principle and darnell) and a 'friendship' route middle ground...idk how many people that will appeal too. NTR people (like myself) will find it boring and not 'hard' and of course anti-NTR people view any kind of sharing as...well NTR. So yah, only do this route if your team is inspired and has cool ideas that motivate you (which btw i can see the appeal, making the MC join forces with the bad guy is fun, and allows for lots of different art opportunities cause two dicks might bet better than one :)

I too dont like the idea of sharing girls... But maybe if it is like Tomberry said, wingman and trying to score Different girls then I would be interested. But whatever the case the game will have choices so i cant be angry for content i will not play.

I didn't really call them the same thing, and NTR can be defined pretty much however you'd like on this site for some reason (yay tags!) I probably should have said cuckholding lite rather than NTR, as that's what I meant. It was a bad choice of words on my end.

It's generally the route I'm least confident with at the moment, BUT, In fairness, it also the route I've put the least thought into at the moment, so there is that.

So until I have a more concrete plan with it, there's not much I can add.
I figured, and there's nothing wrong with that. If anyone can pull it off on this whole site I figure you can, but maybe it's about time to start questioning whether or not it's even a worthy route to keep? I'm not sure it's substantial enough to stand alone as it's own complete route (at the moment of course). Maybe you could make it a side story in the main route like you guys are doing for the MCs kindness/evilness? I do agree with TomberryDude that it could be a cool "wingman" route for a story but I'd still like there to be a substantially different sex/fetish/something for it to stand alone as a route. Another thing is most of the girls already in the game I'd like to keep for myself as well, so there's some enthusiasm for the route diminished already.
