The game design was building towards the fight with Tomomitsu clan and I was planning to design ~30% portion of game content towards branching paths where heroines get stolen, corrupted by others and similar paths whenever actual fight against big bad enemy starts, but due to overwhelming dissatisfaction with current game I decided against that content.
I explained my reasons shortly after
ejadrien asked the question on my discord to other user.
We still planning on similar spicy content, but only as endgame content now.
That was my plan which I explained early on, but unfortunately I find out people lack patience for proper build up to that point.
--- I'm replying to you which "happens" to the actual dev of the game (rofl), but my reply is not directly directed at you, nor at the "developer" of the game, I'm merely using your reply as a starting base to describe my personal perspective.
I personally haven't played the game yet since I was waiting to get more content before jumping in, so I genuinely don't have an opinion on it. I admittedly got a bit shocked by the waterfall of people's whining about the more "vanilla" approach and the more "serious" approach of the plot.
To be fair, what truly remained me from the original game was those extreme moments of comedy, mixed with the kinky, spicy and yet wholesome mood of the game (in my memories at last).
As I stated... I haven't played the refined one so my opinion of it is pretty much zero, but I just want to add a different perspective:
I have no idea about the current state of the game; as I have no idea why would someone play a brothel game and then complain about "Oh my gosh, NTR!" I mean.. duh?; I have no idea how you could even create a brothel game about a "harem"....
So I'll get to the point... Is it that hard to simply enjoy a game about sluts and kinky situations? Or merely brothel dynamics with all the particular situations that the other game managed to create? Weird customers, weird stories, weird interactions between girls and even with the MC?
And god lord... Why is everyone so salty about NTR, NTR, seeing NTR even when NTR Is
NOT bloody there? People have emotions, men, women, girls, whores (strangely enough they too have emotions)... Is that bizarre to accept that some lovingly attitudes may spontaneously arise between people (friendship, love) without the
NEED to sink into a pit of possessivity and sexual "heavy" kinks like ntr or even just "sharing"? (netorase)
You just "got" yourself a brothel, one of the whore is nice and affectionate and somehow you get affectionate to her too because your heart is not made of stone and you don't treat people like tools. DONE, ends of the deed... what's the problem?
TL;DR I'll still play the game because I don't care about all those whines: the first wicked rouge was a lovely diamond and I wanna believe this one will be another kind of jewel, perhaps that was an emerald and this is a ruby (if the game is so different as many people are stating). I appreciated the emerald and let's see if I'll appreciate the ruby too.
I don't mind being a glutton
