For certain reasons we can no longer use those voicelines.
We did have a bunch of them recorded from a certain voice actress, but thanks to matters outside of our control we can't implement them and have to start over from scratch in that area.

I can't wait to see what Leni's storyline would be, I need more of the dommy Leni that we saw in the clothing montage, it will be interesting what skills she gains when she "locks in" since she is the stereotype of Legally Blonde. In the show she is sometimes even smarter than Lisa and more savvy than Lincoln for comedic effect and I want to see in what ways you translate that to the game canon, especially when the pleasure of the flesh are going to be involved.
The double entendre chapter, the biggest challenge of this game, show to the people why Luan deserves to be best girl. I already see the easy jokes about her "squirt flower" and "cream pies".
There has to be something specific with braces since she is the only sister with them. It'll be nice to see how any lewd antics would extend to her love of cooking and if Lincoln will get even with her due to all the jokes and april fool's pranks when the time to take her to bed comes.

Damn, this game had voice acting at one point? Sorry I missed that one. Out of curiosity, it wouldn't have happened to have been removed due to a certain YouTube channel, would it?

Nothin to do with NTTS, I don't want to create drama but I won't beat around the bush.
Bitty Cat was the VA we had hired and she's vanished in a cloud of trouble that just overall we and DMF are trying to stay as far away from as possible.
Her vanishing also means we wouldn't be able to contract her for additional lines for the characters she'd already done, which would mean voice incongruouncies if we got a different VA for the same characters.

At the risk of poking the AI hornet's nest, I would suggest a better approach would be to contract someone to provide a voice sample in addition to actual lines. They could record several allophones like the poem from Mission Impossible 3 "The pleasure of Shawn’s company is what I most enjoy. He put a tack on Ms. Yancey’s chair when she called him a horrible boy..." etc.
Armed with a good sample set to generate from, you could use AI to create either the actual voice lines or temporary placeholders. This would also allow you to very easily revise or retcon previous lines without having to contract piecemeal work months down the road for someone who may have moved on to a new project, or keep someone under contract just in case you end up needing them again in the future.
Also, if something happens to your voice actor, then you aren't back to square one with potentially having to find somone who sounds the same, or once again re-record everything you've already done.
"Why not just use fully synthatized voices?" I believe having an actual voice actor is better because you have the option of fully-voiced high quality lines for the most-important plot points. But by also having rights to saved samples of their voice, you have a backup plan should their schedule clash with your release timeline, or you don't really want to pay them to record lines thatn you aren't 100% happy with and plan to improve in a future update.

This is a much bigger issue that effects every porn game, much like the recent Steam crackdowns. Both are being caused by Collective Shout, an activist organization that pressured payment processors like Visa and Paypal into bullying the two sites.
Every porn on game on itch.io is currently either deindexed/shadowbanned or removed completely (like this one).

the plan is only let them back once they decided on new rules that will please their corporate overlords, including if creators link to them directly.Considering Collective Shout’s stance against incest and child abuse
This continues the trend from the controversies of Pornhub, Tumblr, Onlyfans, DLsite and Steam of credit card companies getting to decide what’s right and making sites choose between castrating themselves or going bankrupt as the service loses the means to support itself.
The shrinking amount of comforting spaces for NSFW fans and creators is very worrying. Expect a lot more refugees here, f95 is one of the last spaces left for porn games.
Yeah, in this case, appealing wont do much it seems, at least not for now, until things go calmer (if they ever do, pray for Visa and Mastercard's downfall lmao)
So yehah, the only thing we (Cathornero Games and the players) can do, is continue making the game, and encouraging people to check the news section in the game and user our website that right now comes so handy.

Hey, are we allowed to get a bit political on here? I actually have a lot to say about this whole Collective Shout controversy, but I'm going to check in first because I know some devs don't want to start a whole discussion about stuff like this. If not, then it's cool. I'll leave it out of here.

There is some likelihood that things will calm down a bit if Bill S.401—the Fair Access to Banking Act—is passed.

Japan has also recently begun to take countermeasures in this area, but since we are not Japanese, I don't think it will affect us.

Just speaking personally, whether it's allowed or not, I'd rather not see that here.

While I believe that even if you dont go after politics, itll still go after you, this isnt the right place to discuss it.
Thanks for being reasonable and letting neutral spaces stay thay way.
Thank GOD my country gots its own system and let me just say as a Catholic Cristian that WE DO NOT HATE PORN.

That's the problem, all card companies RELY on Visa and Mastercard, they are not just card, they actually own the system on which different cards and banks run on.
-------------------------------------------
About the whole Visa/ Mastercard/ Collective Shout/ Steam/ Itchio thing, and making political comments here...
Yeah, this is not the right place, even more, I think there could be an actual F95Zone thread about the topic already, so everyone can be in the same page.
Now... and I will type all of this very carefully as a form of actual statement coming from me, and avoid political talk.
EVERYTHING nowadays has a political start point, or goal, we like it or not, how much we let that affect us (personally) is not for this thread, but I guess that everything else kinda makes sense at some point.
I mean, everyone here has at least one favorite game that got kicked out of Patreon or similar, or had to auto-censor for it or steam (sister => step-sister, no animal genitals, no mind control kink, banned Mega accounts, heck, even the existence of etc etc...) ALL of this is part of the same issue: Visa and Mastercard dictating storefronts what to allow or not in their websites.
We already know that this group, Collective Shout, are against a lot of games, not just NSFW, they are going to go against Detroit: Become Human, GTA6, and more.

. There are more to them, like actually endorsing Cuties

, but the thing is, again, Collective Shout isn't the problem, this has been existed since ages.Sometimes it just that Dungeon & Dragons is satanic, then Mortal Kombat makes you a murderer, then GTA makes you a criminal, then Call of Duty turns you into a murderer too, then loli games, incest games, manga, anime... if they continue like, and success, their next targets will be LGBT games, "gooner bait" games (Bayonetta, Stellar Blade, etc), any game where you can hurt female NPCs, series, animes, movies...
Collective Shout isn't the 1st group doing this, and will not be the last one, also, the main reason on why they succeeded with Steam and Itchio, is because Visa and Mastercard actually agree, so it's just a matter of time until they start de-platforming the most random games and media in general you can think, from Baldurs Gate 3 because it "has zoophilia and gays" or Balatro because it "promotes gambling" or some insane shit.
This is not a slippery slope at this point, this is a broken rollercoaster in free fall, this HAS to be stopped now, or it will be impossible to stop later.
