i really like the game so far, good stuff! and while i like that you gave the option for naming the main characters.... i don't like naming why wife, can you give her a default name? or what about a default first and last for the main character? so if i just hit enter and leave it blank the default comes up.

also, debbie as some lazy eye going on when you talk to her in class, only her right eye can look away from you. its pretty brief but impossible to unsee.

Just thought you'd like the personal touch in terms of naming. I think that, generally, people prefer it. Debbie's lovely by the way :p.

I can see the potential of the game, but I'm not sure if the early choice for sharing/cuckoldry is wise. Such a major decision leads to heavy branching and with that, to an extra workload creating a single scene and writing dialogues. With that, you possible will end up in a spaghetti bowl full of variables for different paths.

To avoid that, I would suggest to introduce cuckoldry later in the story as a result of former choices; maybe based on relationship/love points.

The biggest problem with sharing/hotwifing/cuckoldry games is the lack of an interesting plot. These kinds of games often turns into a fuck-fest, after MC's wife/girl/LI had her first two encounter with different male NPC. Best example for that is The Adventurous Couple (TAC). After a while TAC started to repeat the same scenario over and over because the game has no plot. So, sooner or later you will end up repeating the same dialogues over and over again.

Games like "A Happy Marriage" show that you can combine sharing/hotwifing/cuckoldry with a nice plot. Adding a goal/achievement or "drama" might help to keep the game on track and players interested.

Most important part of a sharing/hotwifing game is to show the transition of MC's wife/gf/LI from pure romance into enjoying sharing/hotwifing. Means, a lot of teasing and visual transformation (more sexy clothes etc.) is needed along the way. At the same time the game shouldn't turn into a slow-burn ala Project Hotwife or A Wife and Mother.

The tiny cock of MC kinda feels bad and makes him look pathetic and a loser. An authentic normal size dick would make the sharing route more enjoyable imo.

However, all in all a very good start into a nice and interesting game!

Good luck with your project!

Jesus, posted yesterday and it's already got 11 pages of comments. I already know what 95% of them are. Fucking NTR whiners.

Looks great. Good luck, hope it gets nice and full of debauchery.

I don't mind - not unexpected. And most, like yourself, is very supportive. Thanks.

Definitely a promising start. Beautiful renders, a nice pace, and your replies here are thoughtful and show real insight into the stag/hotwife lifestyle. As others have mentioned, there are a couple of minor quirks that can distract from an overwhelmingly positive first impression - most notably MC's small penis and Debbie's lazy eye. Also, I always cringe when a woman is depicted as averse to porn (and to her hubby watching it). This makes her come off as a bit of a prude, and to me puts the relationship at a point that is miles away from her becoming a shared wife. Which means there is a danger of her arc being either very slow (A Wife And Mother) or feeling rushed (unless you plan on using a gimmick like the necklace in The Office Wife).

Apart from those nitpicks, great work! Now if we could only fastforward to a game state three years in the future... :love:

Thanks for your constructive advice.

I agree that plot is everything - and I'm also aware of the differing issues of both TAC and PHW. I was really into PHW for quite a while. Imo, the game has to be slow burn (within reason) - and it is a stage by stage thing. I made the wife pretty conservative for this very reason - and intelligent, and loving.

Certainly I'll be careful regarding story - this type of story really needs realism in my view. I'm not into the 'here the pizza boy - I'll fuck him' type of game either. Can't go too slow either :p - what a balance to create!

I needed the ntr in early - not that it has happened yet, or will do for a while, just so peeps knew it was there and not sprung on them. There will be some changes to dialog necessary, and some scene differences (and cock size fits into that too - I'm thinking on that) to run both - but I reckon it's manageable.

We'll see (y).

Thanks for your suggestions. I reckon cock size will have to change, at least in the sharing route.

I really never saw Debbie's eye until peeps here mentioned it. I could pretend it was intentional, but it wasn't - I'll sort that.

I wanted your wife to be conservative and I suspect that most wives might react that way. She'll open up - just not straight away. There are reasons why she is straight-laced though.

I was curious about something, so I read through all the comments on this game. It turned out how I thought it would. There's a lot of jokes about all the anti-NTR comments flooding the forum, but no actual anti-NTR comments. (Well, a couple of people stating a preference for swinging, I suppose.) This is what happens when a game is clearly labelled from the start. No one would mistake this for a non-NTR game.

I don't think most people can't stand for others to enjoy a fetish they don't enjoy. People just don't like to be tricked. This author had the courage to properly label their game with a controversial tag, not falsely claim it's avoidable when it isn't, and they seem to be getting glowing reviews. A troll or two may show up eventually, but not so far in nearly 8 pages. So, well done, author. Good luck with your game.

Some comments were cleaned but overall I have been so pleased with the vast majority of views expressed - it has really been encouraging. Yep - there certainly is ntr, and that's the headline grabbing comment - but there's also a sharing option if that floats your boat instead. Thanks for your support and your comments :).
