Right, that's the general idea on the netorare path. Both games do have paths for netorase (where the mc is dominant and wants to share) and netori (mc steals other people's partners) as well.
Good question, the difficult bit is that a lot of the NTR genre is subjective and I've tried my best to make the different flavors in my works feel distinct to help with that. The netorare path in Sharing is Caring did have some mild (in my opinion) emotional damage to the MC as the FMC would gaslight and harass him into submission, though there is a point where the MC can walk away from the relationship. In Secrets and Boundaries, so far we haven't delved too deeply into the netorare side of things so there isn't anything too hard just yet. I would describe what you're looking for as "hard netorare", which my games don't really get to that point, at least in my opinion, and it's not something that I really aim for. I aim for more "soft netorare" where there is some mild humiliation/degradation/etc. but nothing too extreme.
I hope this answers your question, I appreciate the thought put into it.
I recommend you check the Patreon page as that is where I post dev updates most frequently. The short version is I'll be going on hiatus for mental health reasons, but I'm going to post what I have done so far for the next chapter as soon as I have the time to.
Yes, most of the main cast and some of the side characters from SiC will appear at least as cameos, if not secondary/tertiary characters in this story as well.
I appreciate the feedback! I will look into adding the quick save/load buttons, I don't think that should be too difficult. Yes, there are plans for sexy stuff with the professors, though there won't be any relationship/stat improvements since they're secondary characters.
For the moment, the chances are low because I haven't implemented the pregnant content just yet. As the story progresses more though, the chances will increase until they are guaranteed towards the end.
I appreciate the feedback :) I do have plans to introduce some new characters in the next build, though for the time being things will progress in a fairly linear format until I can learn the programming side to make things more dynamic and random. I am also considering adding a map and various locations, but again I need to learn the code to be able to do so.
I agree with you on the character design ideas, the problem is Koikatsu is pretty limited in what it can do in general, but it's especially limited for male characters. I do have an athletic couple and a thicc goth girl designed already that I want to incorporate into future builds, but I'll have to play with the character creator more to see what else is possible.
Ren'py for me is pretty easy to work with, I don't have anything too complicated added yet (ie Gallery, Day/Night cycle, stat progression, etc.) but the coding is the easier part in my opinion. I use Koikatsu for the characters which is fairly user friendly for character creation and one-on-one B/G scenes using the vanilla studio, but other types of scenes are much harder to shoot in the modded studio. I thought about using Daz for more realistic looking characters but I definitely don't have the skill/patience to learn that lol.
Those are definitely interesting suggestions, I will keep those in mind when I'm writing the outline. I'd like to build the game to where players will only see the content they want to see without worrying about missing out. I have a lot of plans really lol, just a matter of me actually getting the time to sit down and write it all out.
Wow, these are some well thought out suggestions! I really appreciate the feedback :)
As far as the next build goes, it's hard to say what the ETA will be. I'm struggling to find the time and motivation to get it done, plus I want to start with a proper introduction and storyline to build up to what you see in the POC build. Best guess right now will be by the end of the year, which I know is not ideal but I will do the best I can to work more on the game. Comments like this definition give me a boost of motivation, so I sincerely appreciate it,
For a first build this game is very well done, reminds me a lot of Bawdy Traditions. One piece of constructive criticism, there isn't really a clear path to get to each NSFW event so maybe some sort of hint system to help progress to them. I'm not sure how RPGM works so I'm not sure if that's even possible lol. Regardless, keep up the good work! :)
I hope this comes off as constructive criticism, I really don't want to discourage the developer as I love the story and idea of this game, it's just not what I was expecting after 12 hours in on "Story" mode.
I feel like as an adult game, this game would be better if Story mode removed the RPG elements entirely, with the exception of the adult stuff (lewdness, etc.) It's just too much of a grind for little to no reward, spending literal hours before seeing anything slightly lewd. Realistically, you could convert the game to something like Ren'py (though there would have to be a ton more renders, and I know it would be a ton of work) for people who are more interested in the adult content and keep the RPG Maker version for the people who like the RPG grind.
Again, I mean this to be constructive, this game has great potential and I would be interested in more if it weren't as much of a chore to play through.
