I was going to remove him after the complaints I got, but I can never please everyone, so I chose to write what the game I wanted.

Let me guess - anti-ntr brigade) do not listen to them)
I don't like his character, but he does his job - creates drama. It's boring when girls in stories like this don't have boyfriends or no personal life, and they don't do anything other than wait for MCs.

I want Melissa to be conflicted if/when she cheats on him with you. She is not meant to be someone who thinks she is friendzoning you, but yes I have written her as being jealous if you end up with other people.

I will tease her until she jumps on the MC herself)

I am quite happy with how Riley turned out considering all the negative stuff I got for her initial character.

Riley is a typical character type - "free spirit". In other words, whore.
I'm glad that in the latest updates, her character has been revealed as something more

Is there an actress list anywhere?

I found another bug:
On character creation, when chosing the submissive path the Bondage option on the Porn Preference is not unlocked by having points in Bondage already, but instead also checks the Service track.

I was really looking forward to the update, but I can't help but feel disappointed that male characters seem to be taking a backseat to the female ones. Especially with the omission of the pet play path for male characters. I hope the Glitchdoll can address this and give both characters equal attention. However, I understand that with a game of this scope somethings are going to be left behind

 

[suburbrocking]

This one looks super promising

 

[kzaazul]

I've run into two progress-blocking bugs in this build: one was when I tried making a female with anal fetish. The button to masturbate for the first time wasn't clickable. The second was, as a male, when encountering the trans woman in the hostel. After making her cum, the next screen never loaded, so I couldn't go any further.

 

[Fungamer80]

Looks like the hetero female path is severely underdeveloped.
If you want to play a female character with many possible male partners, you might be disappointed.
If you want to play a lesbian or a male mc, the choice of partners should be much larger.
I'll keep playing with the fc anyway, because I think it's a great game so far.

Take a look at images > faces I have all the characters in there. Any character you are looking to know the name of?

Male characters atm have a lot more scenes than female. The sex scenes for males are more frequent.
Sissy and Female Dom are the ones I have neglected a little in this latest update.
MTF got a huge update as did Female. But the previous update was more for Alpha Males (mostly to address the timid nature of the MC in all paths).
I know that a lot of people frustrated that I dropped Male Pet Play for now, but I was stretching myself to far trying to write every path. I am already getting comments about scenes that are missing.
Once I can get the story back at a good release pace, these elements will return.

I think it's more that I have added references to the Female MC struggling with her sexuality. Not that there is much sexual content on any path but I also didn't make it all that obvious.
Hetero female has the shower with Cody but interruptions. Sex with Rupert at the Hostel and Sex with Julian at the club and sex with a stranger. Slumber party route it's sex with Nathan with the group.
I'm hoping once Cody is fleshed out more he will serve as a better Male partner.

Both should be fixed by the new Hotfix. The second issue was caused by the Small Cock option. I meant to turn it back off as it was only on for testing. There are still issues that need to be fixed there, but that was for a future update.

 

[GlitchDoll]

Crap I missed your comment and haven't looked at this. I will address it for the next Hotfix.

It's 3:30 here so I am calling it a night

 

[phupdup]

Minor comment about MC's hoopdee. The engine simply does not drop down onto the street when things were sort of running before. I might make an exception if there was a gag photo taken from one of the vehicle corpses on Bakhmut's "highway to hell".

 

[LoneVoyage]

I play as a straight Male and so far i loved it. Even i am one of the anti-ntr brigade soldier myself i don't mind Jonny, he's serve a purpose for the story. Im just glad that story doesnt force us to be cuckhold.
I hope you keep writing this story. The way you like it.
As long as you can give options to be Dom Male i don't care what NTR added.
Thank you.

Hotel scene is still not working for me.

I found a bug during Riley's bj scene where she says: "Stop panicking over this firstname and enjoy it. I have no doubt that Melly is right now calling a doctor, and probably suggesting that we take you to hospital. Just to be safe." I think you intended to make it $firstname, but forgot the $.

 

[hurnt91]

Does anyone know how much Dominance you need to reveal your secret. I managed to do it once but I do not remember how much I had.

 

[Miscellaneous NPC]

The game seems pretty good so far, though I'm of course playing the Alpha Male character. I can't say I care too much about Johnny, though that might be because I'm also not too compelled to pursue Melissa. I don't know where the story's gonna end up, though I like there's an effort to add depth to characters like Riley. I can't imagine there'll be a 'harem'-type ending to this kinda game, though I imagine a polygynous relationship could work with some characters. There's nothing wrong with individual routes though.

I like the fact I can choose to be a chubby dude, though I am curious if it'll be an option to have the MC hit the gym and get in shape. Seems like it could fit. As an overweight fella, I find those kinda additions always a bit inspiring, a reminder.

Any thoughts on how to write the scene with something realistic breaking inside the car. I wanted the MC to be able to look inside and see that it is either something that couldn't be repaired, or something he could never afford to have repaired.

I am clearly not very good at vehicles. I go out so little these days that my car battery keeps dying. I have to trickle charge it from the house.

Thank you. I know where that error is. I will have a look at it ready for the next Hotfix

Also your comment alone brings you out of the Anti-Anything catagory. Not liking NTR is not a problem and never should be. It gets a bad rap because there are so many people shouting different information about it, and wanting it all removed.

I realised that the more I gave into demands to change the game, the less the game was what I was writing. I kept trying to write a game for other people. A cetrain comment that NTR meant that girls in the game should all be virgins and in love with the MC, was the final straw that made me leave Johnny alone.

But NTR was a small part of the comments I recieved about this game. I have recieved a lot of negative feedback. The old me would have been trying to fix it, but I know now I can't please everyone. All I can do is listen to the comments and try.

My favs are ones where I get negative feedback but also explanations and suggestions on how I can improve the game. Honestly if anyone has something they don't like in the game I never mind hearing it. As long as it is polite.

One positive message I had from someone who was anti-NTR was that I should stop trying to change the game. "If you have to change the entire game to please that one person. Why are they playing your game in the first place."

Really really gald you are enjoying the game. Thank you for the comment

That was the initial plan, the gym was meant to serve as a place where you could increase a fitness stat. But I initially gave each body type a fitness rank and I got a lot of negative comments about it.

I think a harem type ending is an expected part of the game the minute that I added the MaleDom route. The fact that I am building the Service Fetish route to where you A.) Become a maid or B.) Make your friends into Maids is already heading to Harem.
But casual sex is not a relationship and I am big on consequences for your actions. If you announce that you love a character, others are always going to get hurt. It adds drama.
Like someone said about Johnny in a comment (I think on here), conflict brings drama. Which is why there are good and bad outcomes to actions.

Does anyone know how much Dominance you need to reveal your secret. I managed to do it once but I do not remember how much I had.

You need less than 4 Dominance to trigger reveal your secret.
