Hey everyone, N_Taii here!
For those who haven’t been keeping up with PoLs, the NTR2 ending will be split into two parts: the main story, and a freeroam-style epilogue.
I originally intended to release both together, but the story portion took far longer than expected to finish. Because of that, this update will only include the story part. The next update, which shouldn't take as long to develop, will feature the freeroam epilogue.
I’m really happy with how this ending turned out, though that honestly makes me a bit anxious to see how everyone reacts. Usually, the more satisfied I am with an update, the less players seem to like it.
Regardless, I managed to bring back a lot of characters from the main storyline: Alys, Eddie (mainly for the extra scene), Therese (the groundskeeper from Rose’s beachside mansion), Stenia, Meredith, and even Teresa, the court magician who makes a brief appearance at the start of the game.
My only regret is not being able to incorporate Lily and Haylen as much as I wanted. I kind of wrote myself into a corner by making their questlines optional. I still managed to include them throughout the ending and in the final scene, but doing so required creating alternate variations depending on whether players finished their quests, which took a lot of extra time to develop and test.
Another reason I wanted to release the story first is to get your input on freeroam events you’d like to see in the epilogue. Keep in mind that suggesting a freeroam event might not mean it’ll make it into the epilogue, so please don’t get angry if it doesn’t.
I truly hope you enjoy playing this update! A lot of thought and effort went into making it as good as possible, so please let me know what you think.
