I went ahead and gave this a try despite wife sharing not really being my cup of tea. I'd say my opinion was mostly okay with it up until the warehouse photo shoot. It gets a bit lost in the sauce regardless of how vanilla your choices have been until then.

What really took me out of it were these lines. Apparently this woman's mom is a multi-millionaire and $70k a year ain't good enough. I need to see this author's w2 because this writing is $10 banana levels of detached from reality.

Not really if you're considering the characters and the lifestyle they're familiar with.

If Mr. Santini knows Kathryn is used to a millionaire lifestyle, implying 70k isn't much would possibly play on the boyfriend's insecurities of whether he's worthy to be with Kathryn and make him easy to manipulate.

I don't find either of those that out of place - top she's referring to a total nest egg stashed away, not an ongoing income. The bottom passage captures Santani's arrogant nature well - you're right, 70k is a decent chunk of change, so his cavalier reference shows his personality.

Even as a nest egg you get around 60k per year in interest per million(depending on if you shop around for the best rates). So 5 million gets you about 300k per year. That is a nice income for doing nothing.

understood! (though 6% is a little optimistic I'd be more cautious -> 4-5%) Still, I don't find the first out of place; also they could be trying to make it on their own.

Could be, but if he's making 70k a year that's over almost 6k per month depending on taxes/deductions I'll say about 4500 per month bring home. In most places making that much per month should easily put you into a decent area to live. Add in what she is making and they should be living comfortably without living off the interest.

yeah but then they would move up in society and have minimal interactions with the homeless types the fanbase is so fond of using as stuntcocks :LOL:

Exciting News for Loyal Patrons!

4 hours ago
Hey everyone,
Starting with Chapter 7 of The East Block, I’m introducing a new loyalty reward to show my gratitude to those of you who’ve demonstrated exceptional dedication and generosity to this project. This reward also serves as a way to protect The East Block from piracy and leaks, which have unfortunately been an issue in the past.
Why this reward?
In the past, some individuals have signed up briefly, downloaded the game, and then unsubscribed, only to leak it online. This behavior not only undermines the hard work I’ve put into the project but also negatively impacts the experience for genuine supporters. By rewarding loyal patrons, I’m creating a more secure and trustworthy community while ensuring fairness for everyone.
Here’s how it works:
Patrons who qualify for this reward will receive a one-week advance preview of every new chapter before the standard early release schedule begins for everyone else.
How to Qualify:
To be eligible for the loyalty release, you must meet the following criteria:
  • Active membership at any tier for at least six months (these months don’t need to be consecutive).
  • A total pledge of at least $100 USD since the start of the project.
Currently, 79 of you meet these requirements—thank you so much for your incredible support! I’ll update the list regularly as more patrons qualify.
Important Notes:
  • If you don’t qualify for the loyalty release, don’t worry, you won’t be playing the game any later than usual.
  • This reward simply shortens my normal pre-release testing process by one week, allowing me to dedicate that time to the loyalty preview.
I’m deeply grateful to everyone who has supported The East Block and helped it grow into what it is today. This loyalty reward is my way of thanking you while protecting the integrity of the project.
Thank you all for making this possible!
Bobby

Well, this is the way, IMO, for a constant developing game that can keep going for years and years to make more money in a fair way. while using foruns like F95 to make his work to be seen.

I particularly see NO problems with this. Tbf IMO, I think just 1 week in advance is too little, could be even a month.

The thing I can't stand is to build and write a scene to take the players to a specific scene and lock that scene behind a paywall only patreon members can choose if they pay. This I find very pathetic.

Early access is ok, this dev is consistent with his updates, he's not milking anybody (at least for now), he's totally on his right here. While he's delivering his product with consistency, he can find fair ways to increase his payment.

I tried this one out. The girl is gorgeous but this is just not for me, way too fcked up for my taste sry. Im just not into this whole NTR and sharing stuff so im going to pass. Too bad, there are choices where you can seemingly avoid NTR but then there are scenes that are clearly not meant to be happening on that path and you end up doing some crazy stuff no matter what, like the photoshoot scene where she turns into a damn slut in like a split second despite having previously said to her no nudity stuff and then he just goes along with it all of a sudden? Total break of the no ntr path. Its really out of blue and ruined the entire game for me. I Just couldn't continue after that. Good luck to the dev with the game though, im sure some of these more kinky guys over here will enjoy it but its a pass for me

You hit a new tax bracket around 70k so it's more like 4200 a month.

While 70k is a decent income let's put things into perspective.

At 100k you're grossing 8000 a month. At 250k it's 20k a month. At 500k it's 70k a month. At 1million it's 83k a month. Roughly. So basically if she's used to a millionaire lifestyle she's being asked to live on what she's used to in a month to be stretched out for a year. Even in normal circumstances that's gotta wear on a guy that got lucky enough to cross those class barriers.

And it looks like the dev is leaning into that a little bit.

Sorry this didn't quote right. Bare with please. I can't be bothered to fix it properly lol

Anyone have any doubts? Or even alt versions? Just look at the facts:
- What "the doctor" hobo was wanted from Kate in WC gloryhole scene? It was about handjob and blowjob.
- What "the doctor" hobo was wanted from Kate in the train wagon scene? It was about handjob and blowjob.
All both times he was not getting the 2nd thing from that wishlist.
So, by the laws of trivial and linear as a stick scenario - in the hospital "the doctor" will get his bj, finaly, as we hope...
But maybe not. Because this game hate to show real events, and just loves to tease you with more and more teasers, like dreams of characters, interrupted sexual actions, remembering of events from a long past, or anything which is not happening for real in the main story timeline and space. Then, if that tradition will still live, then probably it will be a 3rd time when "the doctor" will not get what he was wanted, again, or the BJ will be started, but it will be interrupted without letting him cum on Kate, like the scene of fucking with The Flasher.
Personally I - don't want it to happen that way. I see it as most boring and dumb version of events. I'd gladly share what i do want to happen in that hospital, much more hot and thrilling stuff, but who cares, if it will not happen anyway.
What reason is there to show uninterrupted handjob every time? You know, writing a story you should dose excitement to not show all your cards at the beginning. The very hot blow and handjob are interrupted to make the unexciting photoshop blowjob not stand out so hard, and come out as much boring scenario that comes later after the real deal. I bet many would complain on - why should I waste time on that boring relucant bj at photoshot if she already blowed Mr Dominick way earlier?

That aside, I doubt you got how exciting blowjob should look like considering you enjoyed the photoshot like so.

Of course, you can share, thought your ability to write a gripping story seems to be quite poor IMO. Maybe try to read more novels instead.
Or fret not, not everyone is gifted to be a writer. And even famous writers tend to fumble garbage from time to time.

Hello everyone
Unfortunately, I have to make a report because it is very important for me and for you. Unfortunately, links to the original sources are not used.

so that is downloaded and uploaded in order to create new links I have a website in my sights because I have not uploaded these websites and therefore please do not download them because I don't know whether there is a virus or a Trojan or something else in there, it doesn't say that It was me and you had problems with it.

I even registered to write to support, but it failed because there is no support whatsoever, so I wrote under comments that you should please use the original source code link, but unfortunately my comment was deleted.

Because I don't want mods to somehow be downloaded and uploaded with new links and to somehow make money, this isn't right because I don't make any money either and I think many modders would agree with me on that, so I ask you to be very careful
Kind regards, Chrisnrw_:love::love::love:

I have nothing to do with it

So the East block subs are still rising on the devs patreon - Even with the game getting leaked. Almost every single game gets leaked here anyway. Its only how long it takes, not if. Yet the dev asks patrons if they want to be screwed over by only doing streaming releases... And around half agree lol. Talk about simps! There's also ways to rip the web version anyway.

The VN itself, to me has really gone downhill. The relationship stuff while never great, started quite promising, now its cliche and forgettable. Even a character gets sidelined after more lies from the dev, of them being promised to be in many scenes. Tease and lewd scenes went backwards and no longer came from normal situations. After one of the best starts to a VN I've ever seen, what a shame to see it fall off.

I've been saying this dev has been doing some manipulating things along with lying about plenty of stuff for a while. His ethics and morals change on a dime. One time he's courteous and giving, the next hes a snake in the grass with no hesitation in screwing people over. I've seen this directly from my interactions with him and other members while seeing what he does on patreon. From the fake virus to the pup virus, ignoring platforms, telling people about his fake fantasy life, month long delays or more after saying a release is basically done. Its just one thing after another with him. Now crippling his patrons and forgotten SS members to try not to have his VN leak straight away.

If it was just a couple things here and there its fine but all the issues are well into double digits with him in only a couple months. He doesn't seem like a dev people should trust. I'm not going to keep being toxic and will stop posting in this thread. I think slowly others will start to come around and see his facade. I hope he changes and starts being honest with everyone

Finally, I see (here) a guy "out of the matrix". :geek: Congrats!
