I feel like that opinion probably sums up how a good chunk of players feel about the game.Basically any romance content and/or sharing(swinging) content that revolves around consensual exploration with guys (or girls) that aren't really old or mega assholes/scumbags. Someone around the MC's bosses age is fine tbh, but the problem with the boss is that he's a piece of shit so I would never let him touch Kathryn. Nate is a shitty person to a lesser extent, but still enough to where I don't want anything to do with him at all. Basically the only guy I've seen so far that I would be alright with Kathryn having fun with is the dude that was in jail with the MC. However, he's in prison now so like... yeah. As far as women, I'm fine with Kat's sister and mother, Claire is a good person, but I'm not really attracted to her. The one bitch who's the neighbor, forget her name, I definitely want nothing to do with that weirdo.
So yeah, basically I like NTS/Swinging games, however even though I never self-insert, I do like to be able to relate to the character I'm piloting, and I would make choices and navigate the story largely like I would if I was in the MC's shoes. There's always exceptions, and sometimes I enjoy stuff in games that I wouldn't IRL. However, there's some stuff that's a hard no for me. Basically unavoidable hard NTR has always been a hard no from me, same with something like scat or heavy femdom stuff.
As long as content I don't like is optional, I have no problem with that, I'm happy it's there for people who do enjoy it. The problem is that so far in this game, the game has leaned heavily into certain kinks/tropes that are basically hard no's from me. Like the old and/or asshole men trope. In this type of game I personally like to share with friend characters, or at least characters who aren't complete assholes or really old.
I'm totally for devs to make the games they want to make, and I never expect a dev to change their game based on my taste, nor will I ever demand such a thing. If I stop enjoying a game or don't enjoy it in the first place, I will respectfully exit and go on my way.
I will keep playing and am hopeful I can get enough enjoyment out of the game to stick around. I really love Kathryn as a character, so as long as no unavoidable BS happens that would negatively affect that angel of a character or the MC's relationship with her in a permanent manner, I'll be happy.
I would have loved to make a starkly different path available for players like yourself, unfortunately that would almost double production time in most cases. Some seriously detailed planning could have made it possible though. Our red string pulls it off, but that game has the advantage of being able to reuse about 80% of existing assets for every update. I'm sure it could be done, but when it's a one man show, it definitely wouldn't be easy, at least not without an extended release update window.
I also like the relationship and love story of the game. Some of my favorite scenes to make are the small emotional scenes between Luke and Kath, and I feel like the heart of those characters really shines in those moments. But I'm also a perv, and I enjoy the dichotomy of beauty and the beast, old and gross versus young and pure, so I decided to make that a part of the game.
I'm still going to try and improve the non "gross" path of the game. When the main content has been completed I'll continuously add to the scenes to make, or attempt to make a balanced experience for people that don't want to see such content will have more to experience other than just choosing to not see a scene.
Also, Alex will have a prominent role in the game, so if you like him then you should be happy with some of the future content.
Thanks for the feedback.
