What would you do better? (The current update)
The overwhelming majority of subscribers enjoyed this update, but of course there are also those who weren’t satisfied. Let’s talk with them — what exactly didn’t work? Share your thoughts and suggestions: what would you do differently?
A few quick disclaimers:
“I expected Emma to be taken in every position by everyone.” — I always enjoy reading these kinds of comments, they never fail to brighten my mood.
“The update is too small.” — Making it larger simply isn’t possible. Even this size is done without weekends, and in the future I’d like to have a bit more rest. The main work is handled by one person, and I’m doing everything I can.
“Take longer between releases, but make the updates bigger.” — That’s not an option. If I slow down, Patreon stops growing.
I won’t add disclaimers about Tyler, Liliana, or Samantha — go ahead, I’ll read them anyway. But what I’m really interested in are comments that suggest something realistically doable within the resources we have, while keeping the style and approach of the author.
Who knows, maybe you’ll come up not just with an idea, but with a true gem.
I’ll read the rest as well, but you understand: there are many of you, and only one of me, and I have plenty of work.
A small clarification: I’m not talking about a future update, but about the current one. What would you have done differently?
Что бы вы сделали лучше?
Подавляющему большинству подписчиков это обновление понравилось, но есть и те, кто остался недоволен. Давайте с ними и обсудим — что именно не так? Высказывайтесь, предлагайте, что бы вы сделали иначе.
Сразу несколько дисклеймеров:
«Я ждал, что Эмму поимеют во всех позах все подряд». — С удовольствием читаю такие комментарии, это всегда поднимает настроение.
«Обновление маленькое». — Больше по размеру не получится. Даже это делается без выходных, и я бы хотел в будущем немного отдыхать больше, чем сейчас. Основная работа на одном человеке, и я делаю всё, что могу.
«Делай дольше по времени, но пусть обновления будут больше». — Это не вариант. В таком случае Patreon перестанет развиваться.
Не стану писать дисклеймеры про Тайлера, Лилиану и Саманту — пусть будут, почитаю. Но интереснее всего увидеть комментарии, которые предлагают что-то реально осуществимое в рамках имеющихся ресурсов, учитывая стилистику и подход автора.
Кто знает, может вы предложите не просто идею, а настоящий бриллиант.
Остальное тоже прочту, но сами понимаете: вас много, я один, и у меня много работы.

I wish to see clients of the firm interested in Emma. Not the nice looking or young clients, but those you have to endure because your career depends on it.
maybe i would had liked Tyler at the photoshoots, or he surprises Emma to see what its all about, as he hasn't seen a pic yet. a bit like the bar scene both get horny and go home or even crazier have the photographer take pic of them as couple instead using random guy maybe, even shelly turning up and they do a shoot together. for the peeper i would liked a option for Tyler chase of the peeper again turning Emma on and again another scene, just my thoughts. update is great!! keep it up

Такая сейчас политическая ситуация.
Regarding the latest update, the visuals are fantastic, and the character of Emma is gorgeous and very likable. What is missing in my opinion is clarity for the player to achieve a certain goal. This is particularly important as time is a limited resource in the game as days progress, and focusing on the wrong stats could lock Emma out from an outcome the player may want to achieve. For example, Andrew has a minimum score in fitness and pole dancing photo work. Information like this could help with progressing other relationships, too. Let’s say I want Emma to stay married, keep the peace at home, but explore things with Justin, either clandestinely or openly with Tyler’s acceptance (if he can be so motivated). How should this be achieved (if it is an option at all, at the BBQ Shelly seemed to indicate primarily a sharing/open relationship arrangement)? Clearly, Emma will need a high relationship score with Justin. But what about her relationship with Tyler? Does she need to intentionally lower her relationship score with Tyler to be open to Justin (and risk him wandering off to Samantha/Liliana, which may not necessarily be a desired outcome)? Or is it better to keep on good terms with Tyler (to keep him happy and maybe make him tolerate some of her antics)? Is there a difference between relationship points gained through e.g. housework vs. intimacy with Tyler? At work goals could be different. Emma may develop ambitions to be win against over Sophie when competing for promotion and influence. How can she achieve that? Is there an intelligence path (have Emma read at night), or a path where she uses her looks, or both? Is there a line she must avoid before using her looks backfires (reputation, jealousy)? I hope this feedback is useful. Again, congratulations on your work it is fantastic.
Thanks.
“Take longer between releases, but make the updates bigger.” — Would be the best choice and make the game experience better.
But it has a bad effect on income.
А с тренером в фитнес-центре тоже что-то будет?
Ну так то понятный для секс фетиша вариант, дошли бы руки.
И ещё я бы очень хотел, чтоб у Эммы была возможность не заниматься сексом с Тайлером вообще и даже не представлять его, когда она мастурбирует. К сожалению для меня, в одной сцене у неё нет возможности отказаться. А так эта игра, конечно, сейчас лучшая. Вообще с огромным отрывом лучшая. Спасибо большое!
Надеюсь у Эммы когда-нибудь будет возможность курить, пить и принимать наркотики. Это было бы очень круто
Наркотики - нет, сейчас времена запретов всего и вся. И страшно. Курить пить - да, даже в файлах игры есть арты соответствующие.
Блин, после того как Эмма прочитала задание на карточке и ее лицо, в конце, показали крупным планом, я прям услышал ее мысли в голове - "хорошо, что я всё-таки напялила трусы на себя"🤣 вот бы Тайлер приХ*ел))) типа "извини дорогой, я сегодня налегке"😆
Хм...а то что Эмма в баре, во время игры в правда/действие, заикнулась о сексе с тремя мужиками связано ли это с тем, что она увидела троих волейболистов на пляже?🤣 И будет ли у Эммы что-то интересное с ними в будущем?😈
Так это же она иронизирует:) Но вообще будет.
I wouldn't have created a cheat code for subscribers, but now I see that question almost every day 😫. If it bothers me that I log in for 10 minutes, imagine spending energy on that every day instead of something else 😆.
I don’t understand your complaints about the code. It doesn’t interfere with the game in any way. And you’re doing the right thing by not using it. I encourage everyone not to use it — don’t ruin the game for yourself.
Please don't change much. I really like the balance between story (wich is intriguing) and porno. The only thing I would change is the player interface. In order to monitor the "points you earn", relationships, and quests, you have to click a lot. Some changes would be welcome.
Thanks for the feedback! The UI is tricky right now. I agree it needs changes, and it’s on our roadmap. For now, we’ll stick with the current version.
mmf or gangbang scenes?
As a dev and one man show like Novel, it's honestly a battle to give out a lot of content without dropping quality/quantity. BUT we have to also 'live' ourselves to do this. So what Novel said, take too long and patreon and other sites, the support drops. Bring out smaller update, more, then content is lacking and may interrupt the story. So, let Novel do his thing, I truly believe he's not doing this to irritate anyone.
Absolument d'accord
Emma participe à un repas le soir entre collègues de travail, soirée un peu arrosée, mains baladeuses (vitor) sous la table ou rencontre dans les toilettes, piste de danse ... une pillule dans le verre d'Emma qui la rend plus chaude...
Emma needs to be taken in every position by everyone.
LoL...just being arsehole. I have no suggestions other than continue your fine work.
I always end up the day throwing away some hours. I expect you leave that there for time with Tyler which I won't use. Could you open up some places in town for the evening hours? How about a visit with Nathan at the bar? Emma could meet up with Justin there. Nathan could have a room in the back for them to use. Tyler could visit his lover. A dinner location for dates that could be used with various love interests. Emma could pole dance at a strip club, which like the photog, Emma could remove as much clothing as desired. There need be no hurry for either to go home. Is there such an idea that would not add significantly to your monthly development time? Probably not. I suspect you have that time tightly budgeted.
Well, look, I have thought about the bar, and technically the bar has already been added in the code. In the next update we’ll mention that Emma can visit the bar. But most likely it will be given the status “in development,” because I don’t have enough time.
This might sound like a cop-out but I actually really like the way this is going and am thoroughly enjoying it. Tyler's a bit of an arsewipe but Emma has some very decent entertainment options and I'm looking forward to exploring them and taking Emma down the slippery corruptive slope.
Подскажите, а со Стивенсом Эмме ничего не светит если та повелась на провокацию?))
Это не блокирует, но вообще это скорее минус.
Не знаю, мне очень нравится постепенное развитие отношений). Всё идет так как нужно, с кем-то быстрее, с кем-то медленнее. Я понимаю, что многие хотят увидеть, во всей красе, шл*шачью натуру Эммы уже на первой неделе😁 (и я, кстати, тоже не против узреть главную героиню потаскушкой года😂), но еще я вижу как автор вкладывает много сил в свой проект где описываются взаимоотношения между женой и мужем и "трудности"😈 стоящие на их пути. Особенно заметны эти детали при низкой прокачке (различия в диалогах, охлаждение отношений) и это круто🤩. Так что я за то чтобы все шло своим чередом😁
Спасибо.
thank you for doing these wonderful game novel games.. we appreciate it...maybe try more a bit of cheating part where she develops overtime. it is good to have a bit of render where the female mc goes into the house of the person that she likes and do a bit of naughty things there without the husband knowing. maybe some friends, boss, or neighbors as well. imo only..
Oh Boy, I can’t believe I am answering. First, I think the game is great, and second, I did not answer the poll, just because of how I choose to play the game (all focus on Emma, no side stories on Tyler. My choice. My game). The last 2 answers I made, Novel blasted me (blamed translation. Maybe. I’m a native Canadian, who was thought to forget my language to speak French, who now speaks English). I only answer because Novel asked about something doable. Go back to the intro of the game. The end of the update, the bar scene, was pretty good. The rest was work. I know you want to give something to everyone, but you can’t. My answer! Go back to your intro, where it was a linear game/a VN, abandon the Sandbox where you have to create so many paths. I think (I’m probably wrong), you will have more people happy this way, maybe less one-time subscriber, but the amazing amounts of people who came out and said focus on Emma cheating and corruption, will bloom. Pick a lane, pick a style, pick a POV (Emma or Tyler), and develop it. But I’m just a Canadian idiot
I’ve never scolded you. It’s strange that you think so. I’ll repeat: Russian and English are very different languages. The tone translates differently between them, and trying to guess what tone I’m speaking in makes no sense, because it’s untranslatable. As for “Go back and redo the project and make it a visual novel”, I would also add “close the project”, because what you’re suggesting is basically “jumping from one concept to another.” I’ve been a developer for 8 years professionally, and I know very well what will happen if we go down that road. And calling yourself an idiot is unnecessary. Maybe you’re just taking things a little too much to heart.
Differently? Hmm not sure. That's a hefty question. The Truth or Dare game was a nice touch to add something different with a bit of excitement. I may have added a bit more to the Dare options. I was thinking Emma and Shelly (?) would kiss as a Dare. I probably would've added that or maybe Shelly and Tyler kissing to make Emma and Justin rethink what they did together and opening the door for more to happen between them. Overall, I liked the update but I would've added a bit more spice. I like to see where things go with Viktor. He seems to be the guy that wants to corrupt Emma. That dynamic could get interesting.
By the way, I was actually thinking about adding a kiss. But I didn’t have enough time. There will be something with Shelly in the next update.
It's 3 am now
All releases will happen no later than 17:00 UTC
More corruption and debauchery.
Well, “more” is clear enough. But where exactly? And how exactly, taking into account the storyline and the heroine’s development?:)
Isn't today the free release date? Why hasn't it been published yet? Comments on the release are fully open, but the public release hasn't been published. Just say you want the supporter's opinion and close the comments.
