Is there a list of the available fetishes that might not be in the skill tree? Like Impregnation/Pregnant sex, bondage, oral, etc. etc? If not, are there plans to add those sorts of kinks later on?
Hey Mr Lusty, just about to start v0.6.3 after reading your notes! Will provide you feedback. But one detail that has always bothered me (i love your VN and have praised it highly on F95) is the moment where the protagonist realises that his first meeting with Emma was secretly arranged by his friends. Sure, you can call that a conspiracy, but the MC isn't stupid, just depressed etc; He would realise what it was. So I think the two choices of how the MC reacts could be: (1) he accepts it (not angry) and he gets + both red (manly) and yellow (honest) points, but if he has a problem with discovering the truth, then he gets (2) + blue (emo points) and green (chaos) points reflecting his mental state (rather than anger). A rational person would see the "conspiracy" as his friends trying to help (sure Emma is interested) while any other interprestation should (imho) reflect his troubled mind. Kudos to you!
First of all, amazing game!!! Do you happen to have a walkthrough? I can't seem to get on the path where MC cheats with Kim and not the Male Dom route. Or did you remove that?
First of all, dude, congratulations. Amazing game. I started playing novels after Nothing Is Forever, you opened that path for me lol
I just downloaded the last build and I wonder which of the characters already have a playable path with "scenes" and kinks and so on, I mean I'm trying to get a romance with Olivia, I choose her for the initial crash but I still can't get any kinks or hints for her.
I forgot to backup my old saves so I'm playing the game all over again and even if I'm focusing on her, I still have problems getting anywhere.
EDIT: ok I may be an idiot, I just saw new images of the last version, I guess I'm gonna get something with Olivia but I just need to go on in the game, right?
Let me start by saying this is a great game and I love the content. Look forward to it continuing on. The one bit of criticism I have is there is a very noticable drop in the dialog quality for chapter 6. For 1-5, I would have assumed it was written by a native English speaker. The occasional typo, but a great job with verb usage, spelling and everything else. Chapter 6 looks more like it was done in another language and thrown into google translate. Not just a lot of typos, but consistent mismatch with verb usage and bad translations. For example, the term "prophylactic" is used several times when I *think* the ideal term was "prevent". Prophylactic is only used when talking about preventing pregnancy.
I'm not a native speaker. The chapters are usually proofread/edited by a friend, but this takes a lot of time - we can't forget that, in number of words, this game is already bigger than the "The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers" and "The Return of the King" put together.
So, I thought it was better to release this chapter as is now, and edit it in the next months instead of delaying it even more. Don't let the perfect be the enemy of the good and all that. But it'll get proofread, sooner or later. The previous chapters have also been released more or less like this.
That being said, it's funny that you picked an example that it's correct. Prophylactic moves are a thing in chess. Every professional commentator talks about prophylactic moves all the time. It's the correct term used in the field.
So I just downloaded the new version and went to play and half my saves are gone. I tried opening the old version and they are gone there now too. Any idea how to get them back so I don't have to play through it all again.
Loved the new chapter, but at the end of my lea only playthrough the summary at the end was wrong and it said things happened that I didn't do. I'm kinda new here so i dunno where to report bugs n stuff.
Glad you enjoyed it and thanks for the bug report. You can tell me about them anywhere: here in the comments or in the discord server if you have a discord account.
The summary goal is about Emma, right? That will be fix in a patch coming in a couple of days. Or is there something else I'm not aware of?
Lots of kinks and fetishes in this game, and I'm not one that kinkshames, but the most most unhinged fetish this game has is chess, can't believe there's no CW for it, i'm literally crying and shaking rn!!!
This game is amazing and filled with endless potential already. I have some vested interest in every girl, but Deb and Emma definately scratch an itch.
How many chapters do you foresee this taking to finish?
I feel like I'm checking in daily for a chapter 6 release...
Yes, the listed price includes all future updates. You just pay once.
I just let patrons "beta-test" an update first to check for bugs, but once everything is fixed (it usually takes 2 days) the update goes live on itch and anyone that already bought the game has access to it.
I was very hesitant to try it at first - I read the summary and had the completely wrong idea of what direction the story would take, just based on the concept of being a therapist of sorts who had a history of 'inappropriate' conduct. (Perhaps a consequence of seeing too many games with unlikable or even downright evil protagonists.)
But you handle that concept (among other serious topics) with impressive skill and careful consideration. My expectations at the beginning were not high, but even if they were, I think I still would have been blown away.
The characters have real depth to them, and even the ones I'm not quite so fond of I still appreciate as being well-written and having their own voices. Their design is striking too; I know that the renders are stylized and not everyone likes it, but honestly I vastly prefer it to the same-old recycled-asset hyper-realistic uncanny-valley treatment. It's unique, something to set the game apart from others. Props also to the variety in personality and appearance.
And the music is awesome. I don't understand why so many people just use the same dozen boring songs when there's a world of music out there, so much of it available to use for free.
I hope there are plans to put it on Steam. I imagine it would be quite successful there.
Itch.io just sent me a "new version" notice on NIF, but the download says it's still version 0.5.1. I'm guessing this is a "bugfix" version, or something similar? Either that, or itch.io is pranking me. :-D Be well!
I don't see it in the screenshots, but in game characters have thick black lines around them that look terrible. I won't buy the paid for version based on this. When the MC is sitting down at the first yoga lesson, he looks like a Jehovah's Witness! Presumably just so you can cut to the artwork pics!
Is there any way to see, which paths arent finished yet? Its kinda frustrating following a path, to end in nowhere after the fifth act. Jen for example. Posted the pics, credits.
The game is still in early access and is released in chapters. So, no path is completed. Right now, the story stops at the end of chapter 5. It's the same for all paths.
The development of each chapter takes around 4 months. There will be more scenes once chapter 6 is released.

Pushed Kim (after meet in cafe) away with yellow 124 / blue 141 /green 22 / red 11... does this make sense?

Thanks for the reply, Yup that's the one, just about Emma.

This is such a well written game. Keep up the good work, Mr. Silver Lust.

Funny you ask about steam because the page was set online just now :D
Already wish-listed it! I know that helps in the metrics and you deserve a successful launch.
Ever since the jumpscare, i was always on edge whenever a purple text appear. How many jumpscares are in this game?
Just that one, sorry about that :p
i'm so excited for chapter 6 ^.^
So I have to know before I pull the trigger on this one... Sissification? Is it in the game and to what extent? I am asking because I am hopeful.
Sorry, there won't be any sissification in the game.
TY for your reply.

Sorry for my late reply. Thanks for your answer.
Im stoked to see where this game goes.
