A Promise Best Left Unkept V0.5.0 - Passed Out (15$) Tier

I was interested in doing RPG once, but the time it would take to learn how to master the narrative aspect and how to properly use RPG elements to my advantage, it would dip my productivity output quite considerably. And knowing that I’m already successful in developing visual novels, it seems too high of a risk for what it is worth. Also, RPG maker is really archaic. At least, when I tried to play around with it, I felt very disappointed with how malleable it was. Maybe when I feel more secure with my income I can start thinking of ways to improve my narrative.

No, it is not unfortunate. I believe it is better to leave it up to the artist as they are the writers and I am a supporter, though the anticipation is real. xD I hope that you would be more confident and do more game genre (VN/rpg/management) as your NTR story is recognized very well. So, diversify the deliverance on the story?

Unfortunately, I made the decision to focus on Laura first. It’s more of a personal choice in order to keep a certain mindset—Laura and Aya are two very distinctive characters and I want to properly portray them. I know some people are eager to read Aya’s side, but I just don’t want to rush things.

I would recommended to have a complete set (1 ending) for update release.Example: like the current Laura has her ending then at same time there is Aya counterpart to answer the the question "ok this is Laura, what happens to Aya?" this way it would at least be a complete story (1 story-line) but then this would cause Patrons to be not excited... what do you think? I like your designs very much especially zettai ryouiki xD

Thank you for the update. While I like Laura's new slut design I hope we get an ending where she keeps her purple long hair, dresses like a slut and still ends up corrupted. I guess I just really liked her original long hair. Regardless, really impressive work so far. :)

OK, thank you. Looking forward for it. The normal ending came a little too much for me, to be honest, I like the game a lot exactly because ot its realism, with which it differs from the other NTR games I have met. So far it was all great, now at version 0.5 she falls unnaturally much in my opinion and does things out of character and out of logic. But I guess this is normal for the genre and is indeed a traditional NTR ending. And of course, as many people we have, as many opinions there are :). Thanks for the update, and keep the good work :) !

The branch you're referring to is the hero branch (trust and understand Laura), not the normal branch (trust, don't understand Laura). The Hero branch will be added later on, but right now I'm finishing the normal branch (which has two endings).

Initially the 2nd alternative of the normal ending was with Harry understanding Laura. In this update it has changed that in both alternatives Harry doesn't understand Laura, and the difference will be in the new choise after the wedding. Then what happens with the route where Harry supports/trusts Laura and rejects Aya, but also understands Laura? Will it be a 3rd alternative of the normal ending, or it will become another of the routes?

Thanks. And don’t worry, I like those kinds of physical changes as well, even though it’s considered overused. I actually thought people simply didn’t like the design of her change and not her change in and of itself. In any case, my definition of NTR hasn’t been swayed ever since I started writing porn. I write what I think would excite me first and foremost. And while I do like to hear everyone’s opinion, I’m not writing based on what’s popular, else I wouldn’t be writing NTR in the first place. I just wanna have fun writing, and there’s no fun to be had in writing what others want you to write.

I’ll finish this branch before moving to another one. I’m focusing on one branch at a time. I think it’s better that way.

It depends a lot on what you mean by revenge. There will be a good ending. How will Harry decides to handle it is another story.

hangovercat

Right now, I'm focusing on writing all the endings. When I'm done, if there's a high demand for it, then maybe I can give them a proper conclusion. It's just that, while it's fun to see where everyone ends up, I don’t personally think it serves the NTR, which is why I didn’t write it in the first place.

Great work! Thank you for sharing your thoughts as always. It's alright to have doubts, no one who truly cares about their work looks at it as ever being perfect, you always find things that you want to improve/add/change. The difficult part is knowing when to stop and when to move on. I believe the alternate ending to this route will be my favorite, mainly because I find it more "satisfying" when the MC doesn't find out. It might be more painful, but that's what the good endings are for, right ;)? I am slightly pained by Aya's sudden and rather cold disappearance, but it's not her route after all, and this ties into the whole "know when to stop" bit from above. In the previous post, you made a comment about how you feel like you're "annoying" with your polls. I'm always glad and happy whenever I see you requesting any sort of input from us, and I feel like that's the general consensus as well. It's the unfortunate truth that, oftentimes, those that are more vocal just so happen to be more negative. Please don't be discouraged and keep doing things in a similar manner to how you have done so far. I'd like to just add that I personally like Laura's new look. It fits with her corruption, and that's the point. She isn't the same person she was at the beginning, the complaints about how her hair makes her look like a completely different person are valid, of course, because she changed. I don't mind people voicing their concerns, which is why I'm voicing mine here: I worry that it might affect the way you handle corruption in your future projects, and as I am someone who likes physical changes reflecting said corruption, I think it's only fair that I should mention you should stick with stuff like this, as long as you yourself are happy with how your vision came to be in the final product. This isn't to say you should dismiss criticism, just that you can't please everyone (obviously) so try to remember why you made your choices in the first place. I didn't mean to drag this comment out for so long, there's so much that I'd love to talk to you about. I feel like people like you are very rare, and people like you that focus on this genre (NTR) I can count on one hand with plenty of fingers to spare. Your supporters and fans are so passionate because your games really are that good, and so everyone hopes they turn out EXACTLY as they hope, but that's just not how things work. In short, keep doing what you're doing, I can't wait to see what you have for us next :)

Any thoughts on what the next update will entail? Are you going to finish this branch first or backtrack to an earlier path is what I'm getting at. Loved this update of course, keep up the good work!

I think it maybe better to look forward to Alt ending #2. If ending #2 is extended on the basis of wedding selection, according to the information given by HC, the content after the wedding (30K words) will be about twice that of the existing ending #1 (15K words). Maybe the answers to many of the questions you mentioned will be given in that case.

I just played it,I'm very satisfied with this update I'll look forward to the next update Thank you so much for making such a good game

Nice work as always! Man I really hope Harry gets his revenge against Luca in other endings... He will right???

Excellent. I know that it is still a WIP, but I would suggest you expand on the endings a little bit in the future (maybe as a DLC?). It just ends during the most critical point, and I would love to see what happens next. Does Harry live the rest of his life with trust issues? Does Laura feel more in touch with her sexuality and find her true calling and maybe finally understand her mom and make peace with her? Does Luca actually start loving Laura and becoming more of a family man or a lover for her? Give us the characters, let us feel for them. Let them not be a prop for the cliche "Guys find out he is NTR'd,. Lol the end" ending. You don't have to go fancy maybe one or two CGs (e.g., giving birth), but most importantly it is the story that matters. What we have right now is not a proper conclusion in my opinion.

It’s a gif, but it’s lagging quite hard on my end. Maybe Patreon has a hard time with gif? I’m wondering if I should change it back to a still image.

I can't see the thumbnail. Is it supposed to be like that?
