Actually yeah something that I wonder, these types of games, arent like the usual AI cgs nowadays or your usual 3D renders, it's like the hentai styled games, where it's mainly story narration and a couple of pics here and there, what others take time to develop, regarding graphic designing and creating renders with intense GPU loads etc. etc. while this puts a load on coding as well, this game and its kind should take alot less than that ? sure I get that there maybe photoshopping here and there after creating said renders, coding could also take time, but what majority of devs suffer from is the Visual creations, whether is by getting a correct output from AI engines, or taking the time to perfect your 3D renders, here it's only a couple of pics per update and many more renders are being used and reused throughout the game, so why ? I am not attacking just genuinely would like to know why it's not more consistent or faster.
Anyone |?

Could be cool to have the imaginary session, and then re-use it with slightly different dialogue for real to have the MC go "this is just as I dreamed of!"

And of course lessening the workload of our artist a little bit*
Also this logic end up resulting in seeds of chaos where the content bloat gets increasingly angled at one specific area of the game.

Seeing the option to toggle race related fetishes on or off it would be really funny if the MC tried to clarify if it was racist or not to play into those tropes, since he does seem like he'd be concerned if it was dehumanizing. Would also give an opportunity to characterize Brandon either as egotistical, or say "I just roll with whatever even if its freaky"

It really depends on a lot of different factors. I personally have no clue how long one new render/cg takes for Saxonada. Also, since this game has two different paths you can take, or at least that's my impression, it also creates additional strain on the developer. I presume he's the only one tackling everything, which can definitely be a big workload for a single developer. For me personally, the writing and the coding is what takes most of the time. Music and SFX selection can take a decent amount of time as well and as you get further and further into NTS scenario's, it becomes more difficult to still achieve that same level of anticipation and buildup. On the surface, it might seem it would require less time than other games, but everyone works at different speeds.

I mean I don't really see it that way, the other character is pretty clearly told what not to do. And because it was someone she knew. she felt a bit betrayed by him is how isaw he. He was shouted down pretty extensively.
I don't know what to tell you. The scene is pretty clear. Given who his character is - a bodyguard who has been in charge of protecting her since childhood - he was worried that she was being taken advantage of, that she ran away from the mafia to be with this guy and now he's whoring her out and direspecting her, so he steps in and tries to push him out. Of course, that's because he didn't see the full picture, and the MC didn't mean to demean her, and Amelia puts him in line. He's only ever had to answer to her and her family, but now the MC is part of the family, and he's a good guy, and disrespecting him is disrespecting her. He had to learn that lesson. I don't think anything was broken here. I think now that Geist understands their position, and MC and Amelia have asserted themselves, that they have a stronger relationship.

By the way, if Geist were to find out Ammie's new partners he'd flip his lid. No way in hell he would tolerate these creepy dudes molesting her.

From what I've gathered he was supposed to be the first bull, which makes sense due to his connections to the Mafia main plot, something that hasn't even been mentioned in the game ever since, but most fans absolutely hated him, starting with his appeareance of a muscle man with a hair bun. It doesn't help that for that one update the game had a jarring change of tone with Geist being extremely hostile and antagonistic towards MC, even those who are paranoid about "true ntr" couldn't imagine something like that. So by the next update, Saxxy made Ammy give Geist a "the reason you suck" speech before kicking him out, then we got the wholesome beach arc to calm things down.
Did people really dislike him because he was muscular though? Or was just the hair bun too much? I also think the hair bun was lame though, but when it comes to him being muscular, everyone seems to love Brandon considering they voted so much for him, so it can't be that.

The thing is he brings too much baggage imo. I think I like the beach guy (forgot his name), her colleague and Brandon a lot more.

i wish this game had 50% more art to go along with the sex scenes so there were more variations/steps in the scenes. but i also appreciate the fast turnaround time and consistent pace of the updates. i'm also impressed with the writing, the dev knows how to wring some fun tension out of situations. overall, really nice work here, looking forward to more
I would never disagree with having more images, especially since some scenes only feature one single image. I also notice you mention fast turnaround and a steady pace of updates. Could it be that the updates come too often for us? If we, for arguments sake, say that we're half-way through the story, isn't this just the PERFECT time for a REMASTERING (for a hypothetically increased amount of images and the indefinitely postponed next release)!?!!! :ROFLMAO:

I'd say the ONLY good time for a remaster is well after the game has been thoroughly completed. Far too many games on this site have lost several years worth of progress after spontaneously deciding to remaster/remake the original work. Look at Ocean. Summer's Gone has only barely surpassed where he was originally and WIAB is still at least 2 updates behind where the original was. DPC has a similar yet different problem. He keeps updating, changing and implementing new features into BADik which is incredibly fucking jarring going episode to episode. He's sunk a huge amount of time into aspects of the game that, if not for them, likely would have allowed him to have already finished the entire series by now.

What you guys are describing actually sounds like a pre-alpha build using placeholder assets until they can be replaced/expanded upon. That's another reason I'm against a mid-way remaster. The final product may not be worth the additional work in the end and all parties would be better served by the dev(s) moving on if that's the case. If this game IS worth a remaster, doing it at a later date where he could also be working on another project at the same time would be far more beneficial for everyone. As a creator, the most beneficial thing you can do is get as much content out as quickly as you can while maintaining a consistent quality standard. That way you create multiple streams of revenue, eventually allowing you to take on much bigger projects without the fear of failure bc you already have this existing catalogue of content.
