Even though I agree it is not NTR, I do get the backlash he got over that completely. Basically a perfect example of a dev not understanding which players his tags attracted and maybe also not really wanting those players. Any of the more romantic immersive players after looking first at that photograph and that the girl was your best friend since six years old and your GF for years and you have hardly been gone a few days, would consider even if it was only a plotpoint without renders and the description of the sex as very annoying and a bonerkiller or even depressive. Now having to look at that scene would be even worse.
It would need an immediate pickup of those players to have a small chance to work, fast sex that gets a player down and slow for the parts that interest him, is a good way to turn players off your game, whatever their fetish. (Now if she had for example just been a wild girl he had met a few months ago in a whirlwind lust/romance relation that would have felt already completely different).
Does not mean that the dev is not free to include it, but to have that content as first sex in a game directed at immersive romance players is kind of shooting yourself in the foot with a canon. Still overall a very good game after that discussion dies down and grats and thanks to dev for completing it.
Haha, beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder, perhaps I just need to see it to believe if it was bad at all
. Having said that, I guess I'm quirky myself because there are very few things that actually turn me off, scat for example (again, respect everyone who has that fetish, Mozart loved ass and everything that came out of it lol).
People need to understand that the game we play is someone's imagination at work, it may be our cup of tea or it isn't and if the dev. specifically invites you to give him ideas then you can put your heart out to it, but being outright obsessive about some fetishes and shitting about others is not the right way forward for anyone, the dev, or us the players cause it ruins the fun for everyone out there. I've seen fetishes that many not be even my cup of tea but that's about it, I see it and I forget about it if I don't find it to my fancy.
I don't know how many are going to understand the simple fact that regardless of how immersive you are, this is a game and someone's imagination, be immersive the way the author wants you to be, not the other way round. You won't find me in games where the protagonist is sissified by default and not through our own actions, some find that beautiful and I have no problems with it, some would love to have gods/goddesses of (insert religion) involved making babies with the protagonist (male/female what ever your fancy), I too find that weird (but I will not deny the fact that I will be down right curious to try it at least) and and the list goes on.
Devs in my humble opinion aren't fools, the ones who make the most "vile,gut wrenching" NTR or what ever fetish you hate can also make games that even the most faithful of lovers would shed a tear in appreciation, in other words a total opposite of what they made earlier but that only happens when you let the dev complete the imagination as it was intended to be. People who create games know the market and kid you not, if I was a dev, I would make at least one of every genre out there, even the forbidden ones that includes the dark mind patch (wink-wink).
I don't know if I make sense anymore but I guess this is my way of ranting lol.
My parting shots would be that people need to wait for the good things to happen, I have seen people be so toxic that devs who I found were quirky just shut down the shop not completing their stories. Yes, they could just ignore them but to what extent? If can't give 2 hoots to someone then why would they give 2 hoots to us? Criticism if constructive can be a whole lot better than compliments or ass licking, people need to learn that, not just in here but in their lives in general as well, its time we take the narccisism out of our system
