Yep, been busy with few things and got some RL stuff. Was also trying to ship it to Steam and stuff, making page there and what not. It takes time no worries, I'll be spamming updates real soon as usual.
Some. Nora would be for one, if I have to point a finger at one of them for sake of example. And no, there is no ''round and about''. Main LI's are main li's and they're with Main Char. NTR is not my personal jam, not something I like on my own, thereby I do not meddle in it or bother writing about it. That being said, I'm aware of some planned scenes where main character does sleep with other people's wives, but, as far as my research goes, that isn't considered NTR or does it affect MC in such shape or form. As for "mentioned" in text... doubtful. When doing character backgrounds and their past, their sex life is last on my list if it AT ALL on my list. I don't see reason to narrate through it. Some things I leave to player interpretation. Hope that helps.
I'm not hoping, I'm knowing. It __will__ be done. Well, as for the other part, I'm not competing. Also his writing in comparison to this story is too far apart. Can't compare. And no problem, hopefully you enjoy it once again.
Nope. I am not exactly in element of adding things for fetish sake. Just cause for example you have incestious themes, I didn't add it there for sake of fetish, but cause it serves story and plot properly. Fuels what I need for it for characters.
If I add stuff like pregnancy, then it will be done properly or not at all. I am not against adding specific things, but if I do, that won't be while I work on chapters. Additions, not related to story? Random bonus stuff? Sure, I can do that no problem.
But ah... yeah. If ( which isn't an IF, it really is I WILL), but WHEN I add pregnancy into the whole game. It will be there properly. Natural, used for story telling and emotion. Not for fetish.
Would've been, if HopesGaming didn't turn HopelessGaming and pulled a fiasco. Which is a shame... I really enjoyed it, despite it being more fantasy in some aspects. But it was good and had great potential. But, typical dev shtick happened with him.
Sadly, I'm not in competition with him in genre type, and this and his stuff is miles apart due to various factors.. but I hope you can at least enjoy it as you enjoyed that one.
As for pregnancy content, well, yes. EVENTUALLY... I'd say so many times you can fuck around before you find out, if you know what I mean x)
Hm. Honestly, I prefer and mainly stick vanilla. However... if I did add something like lesbian stuff, which would occur if main char was involved with 2 women from his harem, this would be purely optional. This is something I see as ''side content'' and I'd add it as that. I don't wanna shove anything in main story that isn't vanilla. Everything else? It can be added eventually as side / bonus content without pissing anyone off, or even myself for that matter. I think that's fair.
Proof read. Tough gig there, but plenty of work for sure. And why not? If someone wants to tip you for your work, that's perfectly fine. Nothing wrong there, so you can at the very least grab a cup of coffee for fair effort!
Oh yeah, Merlin is a great guy. Not all is so dark, there's quite a few civilized people and nice people there. Sadly... they're gems in the sand. The rest, not worth the trouble.
Possible. Yes. But... that isn't the only reason I don't want Patreon. And glad to hear so, pleased to hear you've enjoyed what it has to offer so far. And well, I make no promises, but I'll do the best I CAN to keep up. Will that be enough or not, I'll leave for someone else to judge.
And great, it is meant to offer some light-hearted moments and comedy in moments. Though, fair warning, it is a dark story and meant to be one. So, bunker up.
I took a quick look, and I already know it isn't worth replying there. I'll give you a single example as to why:
Quoting the user: "Hmmm... Well, for starters, the overview says, "In Valenza Family, you step into the shoes of Michael Valenza, a cunning and often ruthless made man...". If the protagonist's last name is Valenza, then he would be a family member, not a made man. If the protagonist is a made man, then his last name would be anything except Valenza. Just thought the author might like to know."
And now I'll tell you my answer to that -
If a Don of an Italian Mafia family promotes his son or daughter without them properly earning their place, several key issues and potential consequences could arise within the organization. Mafia families operate on a system of earned respect and loyalty. Promoting someone without them proving their worth can lead to resentment among soldiers and capos who have worked their way up. It may be seen as a violation of the code of meritocracy that ensures survival and loyalty within the organization. And this is just cherry from the top. There are numerous factors here that speak heavily against this approach. And this is just me being nice and not writing a whole factual book on it.
Moral of the story here? Being smart is fine. But trying to be smart for sake of being smart is not, if it turns out that what you said is dumb.
Steam is planned, that is a certainty I can confirm. As for these funding platforms such as Patreon, Subsscrew and what not. Honestly? No clue.
I can tell you that MAYBE, but that maybe is very heavy maybe. I had no plans to do it, I'll think about it but... I'm really not fond of it. Not to mention games with incestious themes can take a bullet on platforms like Patreon.
Seen it, played it. A good game, but can't be compared to this one. Sadly no one here is a ninja enough to dodge a bullet! But, it was a good game with good potential. Sadly... HopesGaming went from Hopes to HopelessGaming with the fiasco he pulled.
Can't say will it be a successor or not, as that isn't my intent. Not competing with the fella. But I can tell you it won't end up abandoned at least. ( Or years without a word )
If you're asking me about the sexual aspect of the game, it is fair to assume there is nothing out of ordinary. It is more vanilla leaned. If you're asking me something along the lines of.. "Is it a Harem?" Yes, then I'll say yes to that. If you ask me about stuff like cheating, or what people call NTR etcetera. Then no, that will not be part of it. As it isn't my personal jam.
As for anything else... hard for me to say. Easier for you to ask, if you're interested in something in particular toss me a question and I'll answer you with yes or no to each specific tag you ask about.
