I tend to leave this stuff to the player's perception and imagination.

Players will always expect the worst, so if that was your intention, you've achieved it.

And who's to say they don't do those things "behind close doors," so to speak. I think I would get the criticism either way.

Being criticized for explaining an unanswered part of your story? I can't agree with that. As the writer, there are no closed doors if you choose otherwise.


Your game was on my "red flags, but wait and see" list. Rape, in general, disgusts me, and the rape of a LI is a massive deal-breaker for me. Since I interpreted your answer as confirming it happened but you won't discuss it, I'll be taking my leave.


So I don't leave with only negatives; I've got to say, nice renders and models. I hope you find success, and I wish you good luck.

Mate, we wouldn't be here if we had any desire to keep it to our imagination. And that's honestly a terrible idea. We have enough background in this case. Just like the example I made earlier. The dev said something highly different to what the most logical outcome was. We're not naive enough to hold hope in a situation like this. Behind closed doors in a porn game is skippable content. Not avoided. The target audience you seem to be targeting does not like that kind of thing in the slightest.

I think I would get the criticism either way.

True. You would probably get the other crowd asking to to turn the kidnapping into a ntr scene instead. There's criticism for most everything.
And based on other comments. Harem not done right is one of the major criticisms

I would guess that the majority of people wouldn't like to see or even hear the mention of that type of content, especially if that happened to one of MC's love interests.

I see it this way. I'm here to relax and unwind. A good story that leads to falling in love with the characters generates a lot of smiles and feel good stuff. Yes, escaping reality is not always healthy or done right either. But back to the point. Seeing and hearing that type of content ruins things when the intention was to do nothing but unwind. We could always go back to real life if we wanted to get stressed out.
Unless I'm into that shit. And I personally ain't. Heck, I'm so not into that shit that I sometimes don't like netori. If the other dude is a fine and respectable dude. It ain't right to do him like that. The world tells us we don't matter enough already. And if he's into that shit. . . it's weird. Even so, I admit to be more excited than I like to admit when stealing another dude's girl.

I and all my friends feel the same way. We were all waiting for that confirmation as well. We don't play games that treat any Li in such a matter.
Good luck developer. You should be aware that many will consider it NTR just because it exists, even if no one has to see it. If that is the kind of game you are making then you should be honest about it to your audience.

I stand by my words and what I've said in the past. There will be no NTR scenes in the game. I have been very clear about that.

I don't really have a dog in this fight, but I think you've chosen the approach likely to annoy the most people possible in this case. NTR and rape fans aren't going to get anything out it, and absent any details, most everyone else is going to fill in the blanks in the worst way possible. As Seneca the Younger said, we suffer more in imagination than in reality.

 

[Manifest Visuals]

So you just confirmed the game has ntr. I dont know why you are trying to be evasive if that is what you want in it then so be it. All it looks like now is you are trying to dodge some tags. You could have said no ntr but you didnt you said no ntr SCENES. So all the people that dont want that wont like it and the people that do will want it shown. All people are asking is to be honest.

me: "There will be no NTR scenes in the game."

There is no and will be no NTR in the game. There. Happy?

Wasn't trying to offend but you have to admit your previous answer and then specifying scenes was easy to come to the conclusion.

Why do people need spoon-feeding on about everything? If you are imagining worse for your LI then rest assured it will be worse happening for them, if you imagine good things happening to them then good things will happen to them, unless it has been explicitly stated otherwise.

The forum's phobia for a certain fetish is beyond childish to the point where trolls trolling them seem borderline justified.

It's not the dev.'s problem if people read too much between the lines, or assume things out of proportion, he might have said them after being pestered time and again over the matter unless he writes that specific line in the game itself, take oral comments with a pinch of salt.

Hmm, what's triggering some...is this recent comment that you left about the mom's abduction, leaving it open for the wrong interpolation. And unless, the Orc's...are maybe working for a group of slavers...and the orc's don't touch the female merchandise (thus leaving MC's Mom and any others safe from being raped...), your just hurting your potential among the harem fans base.

Remember, not all will become paid subs from this site, but some might as your story progresses with more content or clarity. I'd hate to see another new potential harem title lose it's chance to do well, due to a few design missteps or misunderstandings.

Well best Regards, and Merry Christmas.

First all we have to go on is what we get from the dev. So you are saying if some one is accused of murder all they need to say is you didnt see me kill them when evidence shown them taking the person. If a person is kidnaped you are going to assume something bad will happen. Yes she was kidnaped because they just want to have a tea party and have a lengthy discussion about how to bake cookies. Nothing ever bad happens when a female character gets kidnaped in a game on this site.

Or, they could make a cake out of her, lol.

Except, there is no evidence, apart from a sentence said here in a comment and not in the game itself.

Did the orcs kidnap the female lead for sex? Did the orcs have sex with humans in this game before this event?

 

[ryansFLYIN]

Manifest Visuals Listen, I don't care about all of that, but please tell me we get to punch Thomas in the face for making the most anti-bro decision of 2023? First off, that little goblin shit was MC's to kill since it kidnapped his sister. Secondly, it may have had information on where the MC can find his mom. And bro is just like... I'm ThE hErO oF tHiS sToRy! and takes all that away from the MC and everyone else that voted that way! I would be livid if I were the MC. Not only does the MC not get his revenge, but he loses a possibly (earlier) lead on where his mother is.

Also, I hope the MC has learned his lesson about leaving enemy witnesses alive...

Overall, I liked the update. Looking forward to more.

 

[RexGenocide]

What a wonderfull update! A little to much to wait for this amount of content, but still wery enjoyable!

 

[Ultimecea]

Thank you! I updated the thread with your links.

thanks for updating the compressed links to OP
although you can add in the credits for the compressor as well so we can give thanks to the one helping the community

Yeah no, this is high level cope. The people that you are referring to here would be more than happy to have had a scene this update explicitly stating the orcs reasons for keeping the mother alive and unhamed, and the orcs following it. In fact im almost 100% certian it would have put an end to that whole line of conversation here. I fully support you doning what you want with your game, and if wanting to keep it "behind closed doors" for whatever reason is what you want its your perogative, but don't try to justify it to yourself by claming a majority of people would complain if said scene existed.

But hey, Orc girls are top tier.

Is it patched?

Yes, Esabell, the redhead we fuck with Asra (the orc girl) is the wife of Beorhtric , kidnaped by orcs before the begining of the game and it's implied by the guy that they did something to her with magic, and now she's having an orc daughter, so maybe by the time mc come to save his mother, he may have a little brother or sister ... ^^

 

[joryh]

Giant axe heads (and real axes aren't that thick, even tool axes) with twigs for handles = broken the first time they hit something.

 

[Saint Blackmoor]

Some of the players commenting on your game have literally played hundreds of games, are well read and analyze plots and scripts very well. They also understand each others likes, dislikes, fetishes, kinks etc. much better than you.

Are you saying that some players would like the dev to create the game how they like?

 

[sunqian3000]

Excellent fantasy harem game
