Also, Uberpie's consistency with his character renderings by hand has always been iffy - he either has poor reference models or doesn't follow them well or just allows his artistic style evolve/change.
Also, there was a whole plagiarism thing where people found his drawings to be too close to "references" from other artists.

But why making two different games instead of combining the two routes in on single game and adding avoidable options like other games?
Because when you think about, given how the story goes, it's not a pick-and-choose game. You can't just say "oh, I'll take X in my harem, but I'll let Y get NTR'd" because all stories get interwoven at some point. You make your choice at the start, so the two storylines run next to each other. Sure, they'll follow the same story beats, but they'll never intersect. So, if you look at it from a technical point of view, that's two different stories in the same setting, which means double checks for each event, making bug tracking harder. It's a lot easier to restart from scratch and re-using assets.

Correction, thats how it's been so far! but that abortive set of NTR options with Mary at the gym suggests he was planning on doing it case by case. Not to mention all these sandbox elements he inserted with v0.82... Everything seemed to point to the games goal was to eventually be a true sandbox with multiple outcomes, not just a straight Harem/NTR VN

It would not fall under the main/harem route because there is a vocal subsection of the crowd who sees sharing as bad as netorare. The avoidable sharing scenes with villain characters would draw a lot of whinging about being "cucked, again!"
interesting.. but I see your point. Thanks for clearifying.

It's a known bug in v0.89.8a and v0.89.8b. I don't know if it was fixed for v0.89.8c (Which has not been uploaded here - and probably won't be).

So is this just a cuckold game or what? The only "sexual" scenes I have seen so far involve Darnell being a rat. On the front page it said NTR is "obvious and avoidable", but clearly that second part is a lie. I'm curious if this game is just a complete waste of time or not.

You're wrong. It's avoidable. Just play the game and you'll see.

The sexual harassment at the beginning of the game is the only 'NTR'ish content that isn't avoidable. Later in the game there's a scene where you have to say 'yes' to viewing NTR twice or so before it actually shows anything, and even then it's not penetrative sex. 99% of the content in the current version isn't NTR.

Does that mean that it's still happening in the background but you just can't see it because you said no?
The optional 2 places are 100% optional - one isn't netorare, by definition (even if hidden behind an NTR warning if proceeding) and the other is a non-starter scene that goes nowhere. If you choose not to have the scenes occur - they do not occur. Not in some imaginary background in a fictional universe. It's "do you want A or B" kind of decision, not "do you want A or do you want A but the not to see it."

For one particular scene in the gym yes, bcuz MC run away before anything really happens, and the other one is not NTR (well for some people it does) but sharing, and you see the whole scene

you need to choose "yes to NTR" for that scene to happen

They're advocating option C tho. Keep practicing because it's only going to improve
I don't think that an option.

Did you remember that one time UberPie redraw his whole art just because "my old art did not match with newer art"? it took nearly a year btw :HideThePain:

While I know Uberpie's ability to remain consistent in his art has been one of several weaknesses, no update of Taffy Tales has taken "nearly a year," yet. 7 to 8 months, yes - twice and soon to be three times. 9 months or more, no.
