Choices (will) matter

I probably should have said this in the game, and probably will, but since I didn't, I'll say it here.

I wanted to make something more than just empty, meaningless choices that don't do anything. So, I implemented a choice grading system, where certain options become enabled or disabled based on what you've picked before. Most of them rate your personality, but some tagged choices branch into specific branches of conversations.

You can already see these examples,...

The story continues... (Download v2)

I guess you liked the free version and wanted to support me. That alone means more than you think. Thank you for that.

This update picks up where things started to burn a little. I really hope you'll like where this is heading. I've got a lot of ideas for the future, and I'd love to keep this story alive for quite some time.

If you have any ideas, concerns, or requests, let me know - in the comments or in private messages. I'd love to hear it all and talk about the game with you.<...

The judgment day!! (FREE download v1)

Hi everyone!

The day of reckoning has come. Time to throw this think into the wild and hear what you think. The first version of Hotel NTRnational is live!

It was a hell of a challenge, and yeah, it has its faults, game dev is not easy as it looks. But I had to start somewhere. It works. Mostly. You should be able to play the whole game without major issues. Some features still require a jank or two (restarting usually helps), but I'll keep improving it. I guess there's a charm i...

If you talk into an abyss long enough...

I think I made it. I played through the whole game for the first time, and it works! Mostly. There are a few small tweaks I have to do before sharing it into the abyss. The day is coming, and I feel afraid. Will it land or flop or just disappear in the endless sea of other games.

Anyway, I'm pretty happy about where it's at. As much as I'd like to keep tweaking it like making more choices, variables, paths - I also want to release it into the wild while it's still young and a little raw...

Dear diary...

When I thought it would be easier to make the game once I have a working engine, well... I was wrong. I always watched tutorials about engines and plugins where people just drag and drop stuff, write stuff, connect stuff, and everything magically works. Turns out, it's way messier than that. Every small change reflects to a shitload of elements. Not to mention that a seemingly small feature can be a real pain in the ass to make work.

Anyway, I've been stubbornly busy, and somehow, it's ...

Hi ho World!

Some time ago I got inspired by a few chat-type games but wanted to take a crack on a true netorare story. Not netorase, not cuckolding - just pure jealousy, drama, and yeah, plenty of sex.

Back then, it was impossible to make something like this without an artist. But with AI generators becoming more accessible (even for lower-end PCs), I decided to roll up my sleeves and dive in.

I didn't expect that such a simple game would be so hard to pull off. I tried dozen of appr...
