TIL RNGeusEx had a Twitter.

I had a look, and I think you're mixing a few different things together here.

If the issue is the developer reposting NTR commissions, I can understand why that would put people off. From what I saw though, it was two commissions by the same supporter, not something they regularly post. That same supporter has also commissioned around ten other commissions that aren't NTR.

As for the game itself, what content are you referring to? If you're talking about the Sayuri/Asami bad ending, then I'd agree that scene falls under cheating. But when people call something an "NTR game", most people are going to assume the protagonist is regularly getting cucked or that stealing the girls is a core part of the game. That's simply not true of the current version of the game.

I think it's completely fair to criticize the direction the game's heading or to be worried about future content, but it's important to separate that from what's actually in the game today.

That being said, if you have any ideas that aren't just "Add NTR" or "Don't add NTR", you're more than welcome to share them here: /t/6593314/what-do-you-think-the-game-needs-most. I'd love to see more discussion about what people actually want added to the game for a change. 😅

This is so stupid, honestly. This guy paid for the game to have no NTR or similar content, and the game got some sort of cheating/NTR elements in it. Why the fuck would a dev add something he explicitly said he wouldn't add? Only to add it after the game got enough money for him to be comfortable pulling this shit? It's sickening.

Of course, people will be stupid and say, 'Oh, it's not that serious,' or whatever. The dev should've ripped off the bandaid and said, 'Oh, I am thinking of adding bad endings to the game where you'll be watching other girls fuck and stuff.' None of which was mentioned until the game got popular and he made enough to again be comfortable pulling this shit.

I don't think it's fair to group NTR (the girls cheating on you) with you cheating on the girls.

The game already had you railing Yasuka while dating Asami back in version 0.5, long before bad endings were announced. Nobody cared about that then, and nobody seems particularly bothered by the other instances of Saito cheating either.

People absolutely care about the former though, myself included. Nobody wants Saito getting cucked or the girls cheating on him. There isn't any of that in the game, RNGeusEX has already said there won't be NTR, and there's currently no plan to add it.

I understand why people are concerned about the bad endings, because when you hear "bad ending" and start thinking about the worst possible consequences, NTR is obviously going to come to mind. But that doesn't mean it's actually being added.

I do think it's fair to be annoyed that RNGeusEX hasn't been very transparent about what the bad endings will actually involve. My guess is that they want them to be a surprise, especially since there are plenty of people, primarily on Patreon but some here too, who want consequences like these in the game.

Personally, I'd wait until the bad endings are actually implemented before calling the game out for adding cheating/NTR elements. They're happening whether we like them or not, so we might as well judge them based on what they actually are.

The amount of jokes and the shitty art the dev posts on Twitter isn't good. This is was a vanilla game, and people will 'like' the characters RN should know this by now. Not to mention, most updates end on a cliffhanger with 'Oh, this character you like may get raped up the ass.' It's just so cheap and distasteful. Why even include that part if you're going to make people wait for an extended period of time?

The game was peak in the past, but if he continues down the road this way, his exclusive content will get leaked way more often, as the people who bought it aren't happy with the product they were promised slowly changing in the worst way no one wanted.

Heads up, the cheating between the girls stuff shouldn't have been added imo, the dev doesn't want to make a harem game that much is clear. But adding cheating routes into bad endings is not a good sign that I can comfortably continue supporting.

Sure, I think it's completely fair to have these opinions, even if I think you're being a bit more extreme about what's actually happening. And you do vote with your money. I haven't supported the game in three years for my own reasons.

As for your previous message, what do you mean by "vanilla"? The cliffhangers have been a thing since Yasuka, but I do agree they've gotten worse over time. Asami's kidnapping is probably the biggest offender, considering that's been hanging over us since what, v0.8? It's getting a bit silly now. 😅

As for the leaking, RNGeusEX was already saying something like 93% of the game was being obtained illegally three years ago, well before any of the bad ending stuff was announced, so I'm not sure the bad endings are really going to drive much more leaking.
