Look at something nice on Fridays...

About work...

I've been working on a few commissions and have made some progress on the game's final update.

Basically, I've finished most of the sketches for the hentai animations. I wish I could draw in pencil and color faster than this...

I've also taken some photos for another project I have in mind, nothing serious, as I mentioned last week.

I'll share more details about that later.

Proof of work: just a detail from an image of Leona for the latest update.

The picture...

Scoop (2006) with Scarlett Johanson and Hugh Jackman.

I don't even know what this movie is about, and I can't be bothered to look it up. Have you seen it?

I know Woody Allen directed it; this week's secret flashback was “Manhattan,” but we decided to stay home...

What? Don't you think this is interesting for the post? Well, I can't blame you...

I hope you at least enjoyed the picture.

Aside work...

What a week...

I had to get my car’s annual inspection. Here in Spain, you have to get an inspection to make sure the vehicle is safe to drive (I guess it's the same everywhere, no?).

Well, long story short, it cost me a lot of money to fix the problems. On top of that, a hinge on my laptop broke, and the repair will cost me another few bucks or so...

At least I hope both things work well and I can use them without any problems for at least a year.

Other than that, life goes on pretty much as usual, I’m still playing the same game, BG3...

There's something about the game I don't like; even though I think it's a very, very good game, I just don't think it's my thing...

The power balance is totally off. Demons, angels, gods… and you’re up against them at level 6…

I know some people like to save the world every afternoon, but that doesn’t work for me as well as it did a few years ago, or just maybe in this way...

Anyway, putting aside the fact that I have a new book, damn, I have a new book...

I thought it would be nice to check out a few books for a project I’m working on, so I bought The Eighth Tower by John Keel.

When I was younger, I really liked this kind of stuff, but these days I have a hard time reading it. The number of assumptions this guy makes is terrible.

He doesn’t seem to realize that some people might lie in their testimony, not because they want to lie, but simply because they may have received incorrect information.

Those little things annoy me, yes, (I admit I’m getting annoyed with a book) and yet I keep reading.

Some of John Keel’s ideas might fit well with my project, which is why I’m sticking with it.

I'm exaggerating, I'm not yelling at the book or punching it (even though sometimes I feel like doing it); I just want to give you a rough idea of how I feel about it.

What? Enough with the blah, blah, blah? You're right, let me apologize with some music...

The song...

The Bangles - Nickel Romeo -

I've probably shared this before...

My brother loved this band.

I hope you like the song.

Once again, Keep safe and take care.

Thank you so much for your support!

Heh, i feel you on the car inspection, cost me a little under £1000 to get mine through it's yearly check last year - two new tyres, welding, plus annual service.

Nikraria

530 Euros here, but at least now I can use it without problem!

Don LUSH

Considering we are grateful you keep a weekly devlog believe me Im sure most people can say you are advancing at a good pace, also im curious about the photos reference material has always been fascinating for me since I mostly work in writing

Joseph

Luckily the car I currently own has very little issues, and our inspections only cost $20 a year. I also have done a lot of preventive maintenance, which did cost me a bit, but a lot cheaper and less inconveniencing then getting stuck on the road.

So since the current game you are making is basically only NTR, can the next game be only a romance game? Youd actually start gaining patreons then. You know why BG3 is such a great game, no NTR.

Nikraria

I don't understand so much the photo references curious, they are just GIFs from adult scenes to know which frames I need to make the animation looks more or less decent. If you are curious feel free to send me an email wihtout problem!

Nikraria

That's totally right, a functional car today is necessary, I'm not blaming about it, it was just the car and the laptop in the same week... damn. By the way, here we spent around 50 Euros for the inspection T-T¿

Nikraria

You are right, Romance games have more support than NTR ones, but I doubt BG3 it's a great game for that, I think it's a great game because it's based in a marvelous game, with a system based in one of the most incredible systems to play ever, but that aside... I can't promise the game with Lana (The next one as you can see in the roadmap) will be free NTR, but I can assure you will be totally avoidable. For the next game I'll just make the NTR like a game over, so then, people who don't like it could avoid it since the first step into the game, with a menu. In that way, people who wants NTR could just read the scenes, but people who like romance just break the romance way and get a game over (or a penalty without NTR). Thanks for the comment, I need to revise this kind of things time to time.

crois Banks

Ok but you made the current game 99% ntr with only a SINGLE planned pity romance scene. Why wont you give romance a similar game when you even know its more popular

Nikraria

I guess could be because I'm not happy with my writting skills. If I need to make romance with various girls I need to make it different for each one and that is a headache, NTR scenes fluid with the story, because add problems to an story is easier than fix them. But I can't be sure is for that, maybe it's because it's bored to draw, same girl in same situations... Or maybe is nothing aside, I can't tell why exactly, but you could choose one of them or maybe you have your own opinion. The fact is, thinking in the story, those scenes looks naturally to me, not desirable, naturally. Also, I think (but this is more a Night Lessons thing) the chance the girl is stolen from the MC make the romance even better. But once again, I know some people have issues with NTR, next game it's the Lana one, obviously will be situations where Lana could have intercourse aside the MC, but I can make the game over idea without so much problem, because I need to write all the thing. Let me ask you something but feel free to don't reply if you don't want to. Why if you know the games have a higher NTR scenes you are interest in them? Maybe you are not interest at all and you are just curious about the reasons I put the NTR on them, if that's the case, sorry for the question.

crois Banks

Why do you think "maybe it's because it's bored to draw, same girl in same situations?" Romance doesnt have to be missionary everytime you know. Do you just lack imagination or something? Theres millions of postions with millions of scenarios. Do you think every Being a Dik update is recycling the same scenes over and over to its tens of thousands of paying fans of romance and they are somehow not noticing anything? Also NTR literally makes romance worse. Literally. Romance where if you fail once dialouge choice and they sleep with someone else isnt romance. Imagine if you had a single fight with your IRL partner, and they immediantly went and cheated on you. Very romantic right? It quite literally defeats the purpose of romance. As fo your last question im not exactly sure what you are trying to ask, but I have no intrest in the current game at all. Im not going to sit through an entire game for a single pity scne

Joseph

Sheesh 50 Euro is insane for just an inspection, but I will say, from what I hear for TÜV inspections, European standards are WAY higher for their cars to pass. Americans will pass just about anything that isn't falling apart.

Nikraria

I understand your point, but I'm still thinking the same. It's not only about the positions; it's about the scene and the story that leads to that scene. I didn't mean the NTR scenes themselves; I meant the possibility of NTR. I'm making a game, not an IRL simulation. There isn't much about real life in my games, as you can see. I'm not trying to recreate something realistic; I'm just trying to make something interesting. I can understand that people want something realistic in games, and that's perfectly fine, but that's not what I do. Lovecraftian beings and an MC who could seduce all the girls in the game... I don't think real life works like that for most people, but I could be wrong. In my opinion, romance in a story (not IRL) needs some drama, something that makes the love between the characters difficult to achieve, and NTR is just a tool to create that kind of drama. That's all. My last question is: why do you express your opinion about something that you're not interested in at all? I guess (but I could be wrong) that you like something about the game but not the NTR. If that's the case, what is it? If you don't like anything about it, I can't really understand why you would express your opinion here. I'm not saying you can't; I'm perfectly fine with your opinion. The only thing I can't accept is insulting people who like my games or support me, but that's not the case here. I'm just genuinely curious about what you like about the game (if you like something) that made you ask about a romance-focused one after this. Nothing else. Thanks again.

crois Banks

Are you writing this through ChatGPT or something? Not as an insult, but Im wondering if something is being lost in translation here. Im just not sure how anyone can think that every romance story is the same, and thus boring, like you are saying at the start unless they outright hate romance. And I dont know where you got realism from at all. Why even bring that up. Also if the only way you can create drama, which you dont necessarily need, is NTR maybe open a book. That some serious lack of creativity and drive. And finally what are you even talking about. All ive done is express my opinions on things I DO like. Romance. I do not have an opinion on your current game outside of the fact that I wont play it because it doesnt have romance. I have no intrest in the game at all hence why im asking about future games. If you are talking about in general then it would be the art

Nikraria

I'm trying to be honest with you here, nothing else, You don't understand my points, period. You like the art but you don't like the genre/fetish/story, right? Your first question is "can the next game be only a romance game?" the reply is no. I have three games in mind for the next projects, the next one is about Lana, I explained how I'll approach that project (making a romance only way but with NTR things). Maybe in the future I'll make a romance only game? Maybe, I don't know, maybe I'll die before finish this, who knows. I hope this answer your question.
