Hold the pain on Fridays...

About work...

Weird week, for real. I have another commission to do, and I need to make more progress on the animations for the last update of the game.

Not only that, I need to finish the text for the adventure (the Steam version will have the module the characters in the visual novel are playing) and remake the way the DM has to check all the data around the game.

Also, I thought about the NTR because of some comments here on Patreon.

Even if I don't really understand what the problem with NTR is, I can understand that some people hate it.

So, I think I'll approach the stories in another way from now on, making some love/romance stories and just some game-over/NTR scenes that are completely avoidable.

For me, it's another way to write. I don't consider myself a decent writer, but I think I can do something like that.

The first proof of that? Lana's game. I'm glad I only have the main story of Midnight Justice done, because it would be a pain in the ass to rewrite all the girls' stories for that.

So, you can expect romance from now on, with some spicy NTR ways if you choose wrong. But fear not if you hate NTR: it will just be a game-over screen.

Anyway, proof of work: some of Loretta's expressions in the middle of the fun.

The picture...

Anessa Ramsey in The Signal (2007)

I watched this one, and I loved it!

The plot is amazing. Simple, but amazing. The story is weird, but for some reason it feels too human, in both the worst and the best way.

I don't want to spoil this one. I watched it back in the day, so maybe the movie isn't as good as I remember, but I don't know... maybe you wanna check it out!

Aside work...

Well, my hands are burning and red. I think it's some kind of allergic reaction or something like that. I'll go to the doctor this afternoon, so I'll let you know if it's something bad or not. Probably not.

Edit:

The doctor wasn't sure what it could be, but he guessed it was an allergic reaction to something at the gym. He said to use a steroid gel if it gets worse. Thanks for caring about me!

I hit the gym as usual, this time with the extra 6 kg. It's hard, but I thought it would be harder than it is.

The fucking John Keel book is a pain in the ass. I'm noting things in the book for the project, but most of the time I'm noting the inconsistencies and biases of this guy.

I mean, I'm not hating the gentleman. It was another time, with other chances to discover things, so it could be natural to fall for some little tricks, but the main problem for me is this:

If somebody tells you something, will you believe it?

I'm not saying that Neekin tells me, "Hey Nik, I can't help you because I'll be out of the city this weekend." That's perfectly natural.

But if Neekin tells me, "Hey Nik, I can't help you because I'm aboard a spaceship with some sexy aliens from outer space," well, I'd probably ask for some proof.

Well, maybe this isn't a good example, because if Neekin told me that, the most likely thing I'd say would be, "Man, I'll give you my address and come here for a visit."

But... come on, you know my point!

Every single thing somebody tells good old John, he believes! "Hey John, yesterday I saw a hairy monster with red eyes who stopped my car and stared at me. Put that in your investigation."

And John says, "No fucking problem, baby. That sounds totally real to me."

Anyway, I have enough info for the project, and that's what I need...

I stopped playing BG3. Too much to do, no time to play it in an enjoyable way.

WTF is that?

It's a very nice game, but it's not the right time to play it. I'll look for something smaller.

Well, that's all for now, I guess...

The song...

I found this one, and I think it fits 80s Eloise so much. Maybe Rebecca too, but I think Rebecca's voice should be a little bit higher.

I hope you like it!

Hey, stay safe and take care of yourself.

Thanks again for your awesome support, guys!

Yeah, BG3 is a bit long if you don't manage to really get into it. As for the NTR stuff, I say do what you prefer. Personally I think you had found the sweet spot in NL by having the Love Path and a Lust Path where the NTR was caused because the MC was kind of an asshole to the girls (probably more palatable for the MC to be cheated on then, because it's kinda his fault). Anyway, keep up the good work and take care of yourself!

Ah The Signal, what a classic, that very ending giving us the "did ti really happen?" bit. So good.

Michael Bridge

Man you have a lot on your plate. Just please don't hesitate on taking some moments to relax. 🥺 I hope the allergic reaction isn't too serious, and have lingering effects. 😟 I remember the NTR talk. Very polarized tag/genre. It being a insta game over with no visual sounds unique, and you might be the first artist to do that congrats. Plus it saves you from drawing more. 😄 Take your time Man. Please don't overwhelm yourself. 🙏

Neeckin

Well as a rather, big enjoyer of romance more romance is always good XD

Neeckin

THis, the NTR paths were always like, Bad Ends where it cut off their routes as well

Don LUSH

While I understand the will of the masses may have spoken in favor of romance one of the reasons I loved Night Lessons was the clear separation of lust and love which I think leads to one of the loses of only romance as less scenes with threesomes and the like which I really like in your art style, still I enjoy the stories but it may be a loss to accept.

Sabo

What I’m always confused by in your stuff is why NTR/GB’s have to be automatically tied together and the MC can’t participate — like, some couples like opening things up

Nikraria

A man of culture as well :D

Nikraria

Thank you for caring, man! Yeah, NTR brooke hearts everywhere! The idea is make it sfe for people who don't like the thing. I'm glad you like the idea. Thanks again!

Nikraria

More romance then , I'll try my best.

Nikraria

I'll keep the both type of scenes, is just to try to make them avoidable at 100% for people who hate them. I think it's more a problem of game design and writting than another thing.

Nikraria

Keep the secret, more options it's always more pictures, and I try to don't burn myself out. That could be like a corruption, no? Could be good to have all options, but I don't know if I can handle it well enough. Maybe I'll try to do something like that in the Lana's one. Thanks for sharing your opinion, man!

Neeckin

Well I will say , you are really good at writing romance

JM

I'd implore you to look up why ntr is so divisive because I'm more surprised that you seem indifferent than if you actually really liked it. Even as a hater, it's fascinating how strong of an effect it has on people that bypasses reason. It's a genre that precisely targets fears of abandonment, emasculation, and powerlessness in the already vulnerable and intimate space of porn-fantasy that people can find really hot, deeply upsetting, or often a mix of both. I myself was in the mixed-feelings camp for a while before I decided the turbulent feelings weren't worth it. I'm just appreciative that you took people like me into consideration since I wouldn't blame you for continuing to do ntr stuff since it's so lucrative (to my dismay).

Nikraria

Gentleman, you have a good point here and you expressed yourself so good, I wish I can do the same. I'll try to keep the romance route of my games as much clear and clean as the story let me do it in the future, I'm afraid to tell the current one progressed too much to promise something about it... I'll make a safe place for any person could enjoy that route even if the game will containt some ntr routes. Thank you for share your thoughts on this subject!

what i enjoy most is a sense of erotic peril. it is what originally attracted me to your games back in the early days. i liked the lust routes as choices leading to "bad ends" because it creates a sense of danger which is emotionally involving. it creates a sense of risk in the game. if all the choices lead to the same outcomes - all good - there is no risk and no real emotional depth. i don't want your games to become merely dating sims. with the kind of involved story telling you do - there must be risk or there's no sense of conflict or reward.
