VN Ren'Py The Big Step [v0.8] [Partedes]

[Walter Victor]

NTR isn't just with relation to MMC. Its more a concept of a cuck type of situation. So, there is a new character that is introduced who clearly will be involved in a relationship with Sam and forced into a cuck type of situation where Sam is taken advantage of while new BF is made to watch and/or be completely unaware.

In my experience on F95, NTR is so nebulous as to mean anything involving another male that some poster doesn't like.

I don't see myself labelling the scene you have described as NTR. As for your future-scene possibilities, I'm not going to worry about such speculations until they happen. Partedes does some kinky stuff, so it might happen. If it does, then you will have been correct. It wouldn't be a scene that I would enjoy, but I'll probably watch it anyway.

There are already scenes in this game that I didn't particularly like. Any scene with Savannah-Rose or her father, Chancellor Elias Morthales, for example. And yet, I still look forward to this game for all the other scenes that I, personally, consider great - sick fuck as I am.

I am wary of wading into a hot topic but I still don't see how this or the spoiler could be construed as NTR. If the player makes decisions on behalf of Sam and Alex, how can anything that the male characters do be classed as NTR?

If your decisions lead to Sam or Alex to be in a "committed" relationship, then choose to make them cheat, that would be NTR. It's the same as a game from the male perspective, you are just seeing, and choosing, it from the cheaters perspective.

I believe I read somewhere the dev was working on a boyfriend character for Sam named Liam or something. So, that's how the game would go to make NTR content.

In terms of tags on this forum (which I understand to be based in this respect on the actual definitions of the Japanese terms of NTR/NTS etc.), if Sam had a boyfriend and then she fucked someone else it would be "cheating", not "netorare". If the protagonist has sex with someone other than their partner, without their partner's consent, it's cheating. If the protagonist's love interest (not necessarily partner) has sex with someone else, without the protagonist's consent, then it's netorare.

So in terms of the boyfriend, it would need him to cheat on Sam in order for it to be netorare, not Sam cheating on him, which would just be cheating, since she is the protagonist.

If Sam boyfriend is Liam then believe me theres alot NTR between those two not just cheating lmao....

That's fair and kudos to you for realizing that this Dev isn't one for you.

I actually said good things about this developer as he's one of the few talented ones.
But regarding the fact that he constantly introduces new characters, instead of using the ones he already introduced, that creates several issues. For example in any update, the two protagonists get only a part of the content, less and less, the rest is wasted on side characters or introducing new side characters. Sam will maybe get 1/3 of the content of any update, so we need in fact about 3 updates to get some decent progress with her. That creates some other issues, because the developer will be pushed to rush things with her (meaning her corruption will not go at a steady, believable or logical pace) if she gets such small amount of content each update. Or if he doesn't rush it, some will say he's stalling it.

In his game about Alyssa, Partedes expanded the number of characters exponentially. The same process is probably happening in this game. We either have to accept this approach or move on to some other game. I plan on acceptance.

I can also say it's a bad idea and argue why. Having many characters is good, but not at the expense of the main characters.
Now one has to wait like five updates to get some decent amount of content for the two main characters, just because of the filler.

 

[Seratna]

This game has defaults but Sam is still the character with most of the scenes, i don't remember an update where she wasn't the main protagonist, we cannot say she has small amount of content, after the beginning, it was worse in Alyssa's game.

Same as Alex, she is the second mc, she will always have scenes.

But yes, too many (new) characters can quickly became a problem and difficult to balance.

 

[SerasAshrein]

As far as I understand, the author hasn't done anything yet, level two, photo sessions with a photographer, are they shooting in delicate lingerie or what?

It reminds me of the later seasons of Game of Thrones. There were so many characters with their own separate stories, that many of them barely got any screen time. In an entire season, some maybe got a few minutes and hardly any progress. And if I was especially interested in one of those characters, I was getting like 10 minutes or so in an entire season.
Multiple characters are fine as long as you can produce lots of content to cover them all, and while Partedes is a very diligent creator, he's maybe biting more than he can chew.
Not a big deal though, just a suggestion to focus on the more popular characters.

[hollow-hat56]

i was expecting Sam suck her dad, but I think I need to wait a little longer for that. I'd like you to update some older options and include some scenes.

 

[satanete]

It's says v.0.8, but the files on the links are named v.07... is it just a mispell or is it not uploaded yet?

I wrote everything down, I will pass everything on to the author, everything you said, and the author will add what you were missing in the next update.
