Warning - long answer ahead.
I wanted to write a game which reflected the reality that many sharing
and cuckolding couples are pretty happy with the lifestyle they choose - and do love each other. So ultimately, if you're on these routes, don't feel like you have to be unpleasant the your other half - it's just an option if you want to drive your wife to
cheat.
The two drivers (as the game stands) regarding your relationship with your wife are
Love and
Respect. My logic here is that most relationships, (especially in this genre) are pretty much centred about an interplay of these two emotions. Both these stats can affect how the game plays out as follows...
Sharing Route (Route One): A wife who loves and respects you can still enjoy sharing you with others or enjoy a hotwife lifestyle. I wanted Route One to essentially be jeopardy free, so she won't cheat on you if you piss her off. She just might not comply with your wishes. If you want her to react more realistically to provocation, then Route Two might fit better - but she might cheat on you.
NTR Route (Route Two): Follow this path, and you'll find that she can love you and still cuckold you. However, she is unlikely to want to cuckold you if she loves and respects you. In a basic sense, her willingness to cuckold you can be a manifestation of her love for you as a husband, but a lower respect for you as an alpha male - she therefore may cuckold you with one. Saying all that, feel free to treat her badly if you like (love stat) - it might make her decision to cuckold you easier to make.
Cheating Route (Route Two): If you act in a fashion which sees her love and respect for you decline - she'll likely cheat on you. If she doesn't love you or respect you - she'll probably seek it elsewhere. A cheating route does still allow a cuckolding lifestyle if you want it to - perhaps she'll be less caring of your feelings about it as it progresses.
You'll see all this when I release 0.1.1 (in a day or two). This episode takes a short kinetic look into your wife's life over the same period of 0.1.0. You'll meet new characters, see how your wife reacted to your decisions, and also track your Love / Respect stats. Every release from your perspective (x.0) will be followed with a release from her perspective (x.1).
Hope this gives you a glimpse into my intentions for this game, and you all find something you're looking for. If you do see something that you'd like to participate in, please consider supporting it.
