So I've been working suuuuper hard on 0.0.14~ To be honest, there were some... interesting comments that weren't very nice to read... As clearly not an artist, not even a writer, and barely a programmer, certain kinds of comments just make me... bleh... @-@... but then I also read a lot of super kind comments that filled me with energy so for the past 2 weeks I've actually been doing a loooot!!

One thing I kinda cheaped out on is how videos are handled - like when Vani records stuff for Daiki - I always kinda imagined an actual video where you can pause, play, replay, rewind, skip to any timestamp etc... so for this update I've been working on exactly that (which at the end of the day is still just an auto-played scene, but with a lot of bells and whistles) and cleaning up the VN code as I go along...

I also experimented more with animations - I even rented a cloud GPU to use a better model and increase the output resolution and experimented with that... but the results are... eh... I think I definitely want to avoid using animations for anything more than 'Live2D-ifying' scenes with some subtle movements (like I think my favorite animation so far is 100% the one with in her maid bunny costume just bouncing up and down a bit)

And umm also experimenting with different AI models for images, better usage of lewd fx (screen shakes, testing some sounds, etc) but yes I'm feeling pretty motivated to do stuffs so I should probably stop writing this post and go see what my batch generation of 48 images gave me xDDD

I'm honestly curious how you'll do it, but I can't shake the feeling that the earlier versions where it was all over the news were much better and had more atmosphere, but oh well, it's your game, you decide, I'm just expressing my opinion, which doesn't change the fact that the game is great, and I can't wait for the next updates.

Any update post soon?

Tbh I really try to avoid playing other games - it just invites unhealthy comparisons... and to be honest animation-wise ideally I'd rather just pay someone to do it by hand - but finding a good artist who is willing to animate hentai game AI-generated CGs isn't easy @-@

Yeah changing things just to please people is just something I'll never do. I only ever add things to the game I personally like or find cool - it's my passion project and it'll always remain like that.

The only thing I'd like to add is to not forget that you control the story. You were the one who started all this. (In my opinion) Many of the most vocal critics are those who became attached to the original story/style and are uncomfortable with the changes. But at the same time you may have also gained new fans that came for the game you are making now. Similar to any content creator tweaking their content, you have to evaluate what your goals are (personal pleasure, please the most number of people, make a bunch of money, etc.) and go from there. So you may or may not want to listen to the criticism. But just know, the most vocal critics are often the minority🙂 ok I'm gonna get down from my soapbox now lol

Honestly I miss the long distance aspect. The lack of visibility, doubt and imagination overload is wild. Then there’s the emotional and romantic attachment to another person developing out of sight that hits the hardest in a good way. Mix that with total lack of control and powerless waiting, it’s the perfect mix of jealousy. I’m just trying to not get all hot and bothered thinking about it right now😵‍💫

tbh my opinion is before style was better where photos was only in chat and there was no video and no stuff like meeting her with her bf but its just my opinion where i prefer old stuff

I know exactly the comments you're talking about. Opinions are fine, but the way they have been voicing their opinions are as if they're giving you a thousand dollars a month. The pacing you've been giving is honestly good for the story, you're a one person dev working on it part time as a passion project. Keep up the amazing work.

This has been my favorite game since I came across it early last year!! Every update has hit so good, and I love how you experiment with new features to make nekontr another step above the rest <3

Just keep your head up! We still supporting you all the way :3

Oh so praise = progress? 🤔😏 This is certainly my favourite nsfw game and I love playing It. Also made me realise I prefer NTS to NTR. 😆 Excited to see the end result, even partially animated scenes can breath so much life into the moment. 🥰 Rather than promote another game here... if you like I can send/recommend another game in this space that I thought had some basic but interesting animations. Might give some inspiration.

You don't have to overdo it, I liked the quality of the game so far. I liked the visual novel part, but I think it should also stay a phone simulator with mostly chats. Maybe it would be also better to bring the NTS and NTR part back together at some point, instead of developing two parts, that's double the work.
