RPGM Henteria Chronicles Ch. 3 : The Peacekeepers [Update 18] [N_taii]

[Jeferss12]

We have to say that by far Haylen and Cyanna have the best body of the four, then there would be Rose and finally Lily XD.


In HC2, in my opinion, the one with the best body was Noa's mother, but damn, the author didn't want to give us sex scenes between Noa and her mother.

Can you imagine it would be a tremendous revelation that Leto's parents and the girl who was like an older sister to him were still alive, I say this because well, they were never able to find their bodies.

Well, I finally got around to playing Update 16, and I'll try to keep my thoughts shorter than usual. It was... mostly okay. Not nearly the same lows of frustration as the undercover brothel quest. Most of the scenes were good on their own, and I really liked the big reveal, so that it feels like there is finally some movement for the main mystery. But as a whole, the pacing felt absolutely brutal with how little there was in the way of having any chance to explore or interact with the game as Leto between cutscenes to break things up a little. And specifically about the big spoilers,

As for Update 17, those previews look promising so far! The lake trip of Chapter 2 was a real low point for me in the game, personally, but I think a lot of that came down to how there really wasn't much chemistry between Aywin and Celis, so it didn't feel particularly lighthearted or fun. But there is a lot more potential between the girls this time to have some amusing banter, or even a few petty rivalries pop up beyond the much heavier Rose/Cyanna one we've already seen of them fighting over Leto.

My one central hope for the beach quest is for Leto to actually notice something for once. I'm not expecting him to suddenly discover the NTR going on behind his back, but it would be nice for him to have a more interesting reaction to the sexually-charged atmosphere for once instead of him being completely unfazed by it — or the more likely bet I'd make, of him just being briefly startled by the swimsuit reveal before instantly getting over it and proceeding as normal.

Honestly, after update 16 I'm hoping update 17 is pretty brainless. I do want Leto to notice that something strange is going on but nothing too impacting simply because of how heavy update 16 was. The game needs light hearted beach fun...

You know, I realize that I haven't played the NTRRPGs before. Are they actually any good? I know they inspired the HC games but I've honestly never heard that much about them.

the truth in update 17 if all the girls were to disappear at the same time, to be with the villains, it is impossible that even someone as naive as Leto, would not begin to suspect something bad is happening, well that is what I think, although if something were to happen like what a previous comment said, that they are in the middle of a beach vacation and everyone takes refuge in the hotel for about two days and the girls spend that time avoiding Leto to have sex, I would not like that development to happen, because all there would be in the hotel are sounds of people having sex, and Leto is one of the HC characters that we have seen has been exposed to the sexual acts of people, then it would be senseless that despite his naivety he did not realize that they are the ones having sex with the villains, Unless there is always a girl or someone who is with Leto while the others are having sex during that period of time, and the presence of this girl or someone in the hotel who will spend that time with Leto distracting him and decreasing his suspicions that something is happening, possibly perhaps a maid of the Duke or something like that to whom the Duke has given that order..

As for NTRRPGs, I honestly haven't played them, but I've seen several gameplays and in my opinion the women are much more stupid and brainless than in anything I've played from HC, and the scenes are much heavier and forced to humiliate the protagonist than what would be a good voyeur where the act focuses on sex between the girl and the villain, instead of the degradation and humiliation of the protagonist.

I fully agree with this, because I think we are at the point in the game where it can't really linger on the big reveal without feeling like procrastination... so if it's not going to be the pivotal quest where Leto realizes what is happening (and the previews haven't given that impression at all), then I would find it way more enjoyable for the update to aim for a very different tone instead of trying to be one more incremental step in the corruption.

And I think that is why my brain is so fixated on Leto's role, because he desperately needs some kind of development to sell the idea that things are starting to change. That even if he is still oblivious to the actual NTR, he knows ~something~ is different from how things were before. And having him start to show more interest in Cyanna, Haylen, and Lily would fill that gap perfectly, that their behavior is affecting him more than he can consciously realize, and that he might reflexively pull back out of guilt for looking at them in a sexual way... and leave them fully vulnerable to the villains filling that emotional void in his absence. As opposed to the girls just deciding on their own to care less about Leto while he continues to passively stand around.

I've only played NTRPG2, and it's... complicated. As my first experience with an NTR game using sprite animations instead of more typical static CG scenes, it was downright revolutionary and altered my brain chemistry on a fundamental level. I wholly credit that and Scars of Summer being the two pivotal games that sparked my interest in the whole NTR genre. But having played more recent games, I don't think the character sprites have aged super well, which is really unfortunate. They're better than a lot of games that just use the default RPG Maker proportions, but still have a "squat and boxy" look to them that makes most of the characters blend together outside of hair colors.

Oh, and the villain is downright insufferable as far as I'm concerned. If you think Zeno, Edwyr, or Ulrod are sometimes hard to take seriously, then I don't think you'll enjoy the antagonist of NTRPG2 much at all because he comes off like a character that was written by a middle-schooler who just started reading Berserk.

tl;dr — it's worth checking out if you are bored, but I think it is best to go in with the expectation that it is very much an early prototype of the genre, and not some shining pinnacle that Henteria is still trying to reach.

When it comes to Leto actually noticing something during update 17, if it does happen I want it to go one of two ways. First, he notices that the women and the other men are gone a lot and he thinks that's a little odd, but it's not enough for him to put two and two together. Second, he has at least one moment where they're all fucking but he assumes it's the men with the maids the duke brings along or something like that because the girls gave some kind of "we're going on a girls only hike" earlier, and just goes to the beach where Rose and the duke are fucking just out of sight in a semi-public place but he doesn't notice and dozes off on a beach chair. I want the sex scenes to circle him like vultures and all he notices is the fact that the girls are often missing. Though on the other side of the coin I'm hoping the duke uses Leto's presence to talk Rose into taking a creampie so Leto doesn't see her covered in jizz.

I would want that to be the case even if the expectation wasn't for 17 to be a light hearted filler arc. Update 16 was pretty heavy and its set up involved Leto noticing a connection between the suspicious goings on in the city and the duke, so we're coming off a double dose of Leto showing competency which is good for the not so distant point where everything breaks.

It's good that Leto brings some competition. To me, a woman involved in netorare is like dodging a bullet, but it's refreshing to see him put up a fight, it makes the story more engaging than just watching the poor guy lose his romantic interests right in front of him.

 

[niifan]

date for public release?

 

[quandin]

There's always a chance N_Taii releases it a little early as he has done in the past, but expect Thursday.

I've been replaying HC2 in bits and pieces and I recently got to the lake scene, and I wouldn't refer to Noah as as traumatized enough to glaze over sex happening right in front of him, in fact I'd say the lake episode happened roughly at the same point in the story that HC3 is currently at. It happened shortly after Noah's first encounter with Zeno's villainous plans for the village and his first humiliation when Zeno managed to cover his tracks. It was the first major thing to happen after Celis and Aywin started having sex with their villainous counterparts. But it came before things ramped up... which is kinda where the story is at at the end of update 16. You can't do a direct corelation because Leto is far less connected to the duke's conspiracy than Noah was to his uncle's, but HC3 is far slower burn than HC2 was and I'd say that we're at roughly the same overall corruption and story progression level at this stage as the women were in HC2. Hell, if I'm remembering correctly I think once update 17 releases that'll be more updates to HC3 and HC2 got total, so story beats defintely aren't going to line up exactly.

His father died at that point, recently, he lost the trust of his closed ones and is looked at as a fool and had to work himself to the bone and humiliate himself just to earn Zeno's trust again. He was in heavy distress, his mother and sister always missing and him becoming more and more alone. He definely had some denial in him to cope with the change of the heroines that were his only family and hope at that point. We even get confirmation when we see his thought after seeing that blue haired girl that liked him get blowbanged in the soldier camp late game. He activelly supressed any suspicion he had just to stay above the water.

I dont get how people keep saying he has no personality. I had the most sympathy for him than maybe any other ficticious protagonist. And its not just self insertion, I do not see myself in him, I see a kind and sweet and adorable soul.

He was a fair amount of time out from the death of his father, he had no reason to be suspicious of his mother and sister not being around all the time, and while you are right that he was recently embarrassed he was not yet showing any outward awareness or distress about the ongoing circumstances of the village. If the intent of that scene was for it to be about Noah ignoring it because he was traumatized then N_Taii did not do an adequate job of presenting it before, during, or after the scene.

As for people saying he has no personality... it's because he has no personality. Noah does not speak and the only response has to anything that goes on around him is to either smile or an emote bubble. Things happen around him and he just stands there and occasionally a bubble with a squiggle appears over his head. The biggest contributors to personality in a video game are actions and speech, and Noah is an extremely passive mute.

As opposed to the girls just deciding on their own to care less about Leto while he continues to passively stand around.

I completely agree. Something that would be hot too is if seeing all the girls in bikinis all day gets him hot and bothered and he goes to jack off because he can't find Rose. Cutting from him feeling guilty about masturbating to her not feeling guilty AT ALL about her activities

 

[Oriandu]

Personally I'm hoping Leto tries to have a romantic moment with Rose watching the sunset. He suggests it early in the day, she agrees, and when he goes to meet her she's not there so he waits... and waits... and then she shows up at the last minute with the duke's cum running down her leg because they lost track of time and in her rush to get to Leto the duke nuts in her.

I'm not expecting it, but it would be funny if the Duke tried to have a romantic moment with Rose

That would be funny, yes, but we both know I mean Leto... I edited a sentence that had Leto's name in it and forgot to add his name back.

This is a good point. Leto does care about the girls - in his stilted, stand-offish way - and the girls certainly care about him. Wouldn't it be tragic if it isn't until he sees them cavorting in their swimwear that he realises just how lucky he is to have these stunning women in his life, just as they slip through (or are snatched from) his fingers.

I only brought up NTRPG2 out of my own selfish desires, ultimately it's up to N_Taii of course. Still, I was a little surprised to hear that some people hadn't played it but then again it is getting fairly old now. It had a big impact on me as well and its DNA plainly runs through many subsequent games, up to and including Scars of Summer. It's a product of its time but it showed what you could do with using RPGmaker as a tool to create a world for stories to unfold. VN's leave me cold.

Sad for Leto that his girlfriend comes with semen dripping from her legs to get to her date with him, and happy moment for the Duke who is fucking the daughter of the woman he was in love with, without Rose's mother and Leto having the slightest idea about it, what I would really like to see is when they show us the reaction of Rose's mother when she wakes up and finds out everything that's happening, will she blame her husband?, will she do something against the Duke for what he did to her daughter, and will she be the only one of the few people that Leto knows and will try to help him? that second question makes me think a lot given the fact that she forgave her husband who did to her the same thing that the duke is doing to her daughter, and that despite everything he did to him she even almost gave her life for him, then it would really be shitty if she told Leto, "listen Leto I know that that man fucked Rose who is my daughter and your girlfriend, and turned her into a little whore who doesn't hesitate for a second to fuck anyone who she considers has done enough for our kingdom to satisfy him with her body, but let's listen to why they did it, surely they had reasons to do that to my daughter", friend that would really be shitty, that's why I'm really looking forward to seeing what her position will be in the story when that moment comes.

 

[Oriandu]

I don't see Leto being moved to emotion by seeing butts and boobs in bikinis, if he's going to be moved by anything it should be seeing them with others. I could see him getting jealous of all the time they're seemingly spending with the other men in their lives even if he doesn't clue into those relationships being physically intimate.

What would be hotter?

If Leto and Rose planned to have moment alone on the beach, but Duke wanted time with her and she turned Leto down?
Or Leto asking Rose, only to find out Duke and Rose already planned for time together?

There's tension and humiliation either way, but in different ways. If it's the first, Leto would think Rose has become so distant from him that she'd rather spend time with Duke. If it's the other, than Leto would get the first big hint of how deep their relationship is now.
