TRAILER VIDEO :

Game is OUT now : https://f95zone.to/threads/e-thots-...ole-mc-edition-v1-5-patreon-archipote.201822/

Hi !

I've been working on a game for almost three months now, and I'm very proud to be able to introduce it today. The game clearly isn't finished yet, and will continue to evolve during the period between now and its first release, but this trailer will give you an idea of what it's like at almost 100%!

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



1) Story


You'll take on the role of Avar, an ambitious young man who inherits his uncle's celebrity agency.

Avar is an arrogant and rather surly man, and so he has decided to get rid of all the former talents from his uncle's agency, in order to devote himself to the career of Morgane, a family friend who will become his girlfriend in spite of himself, and his two sisters, Anna and Elaine.

The aim of the game is, among other things, to develop the careers of your talents while managing your relationships with your sisters and your girlfriend.


----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


2) Game Mechanics

The game offers a number of interesting mechanics, and I'll try to detail them below.

1) The interface

Apart from the "Job" part, the game interface takes place entirely on a PC. The basic idea came to me from another adult game, which took place on android, but where all the applications and the entire UI were fake, i.e. images that only served as visuals. Which I found particularly frustrating

That's why I decided to create my game with a 100% interactive interface this time. No fake buttons, no fake applications, everything that looks interactive is, and sometimes even things that don't look interactive are. I really wanted the game to feel like you're on a PC, so I've done everything I can to create an interface that's clear, familiar and, above all, responsive.

As the game's development progresses, the number of applications will increase too! But for the first release, there shouldn't be any more than those already featured in the trailer.

2) The discussions

The discussions, as you can see in the trailer, take place in a DIscord-type application. Once again, the aim was REALLY to make you feel like you were on discord. Persistent, scrollable messages, images that can be opened directly from the application and saved... In short, everything has been put in place to make you feel that you're not so much in a game, but on someone else's PC, observing their interactions.

3 ) The "JOB" part

the JOB part is the most important part of the game.

While I was coding, I asked myself, "How can I make the days go by? If all the player does is read dialogues on discord and then click on a "skip" button to move on to the next day and the next dialogues, there's no game...".

That's why the JOB part serves as a "transition between two days", while remaining extremely important to the flow of the game!

During the job part, you will be presented with a series of cards. Each card represents a person from your agency (or not) who comes to you with a choice to submit. It's up to you to make the right decision for each interaction.

ALL cards have more or less significant repercussions, whether on hidden or visible stats, on dialogues in progress during the "day" phase (the one that takes place in the PC), or on future events! Find out more in the "Where's the porn in all this?" section

A day unfolds as follows:

You are shown a maximum of 7 cards in a day (not counting cards that follow on from another one, for example a card in reaction to another chosen earlier). Once 7 cards have been chosen OR if you have spent all your 'willpower' and 'money' points, represented by the lightning bolt and '$' logos, the day ends. A summary is displayed, and you return to the desktop automatically, to see the consequences of your choices and to continue in the 'story' and follow the discussions between the characters.

Once your 'FAME' stat is high enough, you'll be given the option of upgrading your agency. With each upgrade, the pool of available cards changes, and so do your girls' careers, depending on ALL the choices you made before upgrading your agency! Your girls can go from actress to TV presenter, from actress to reality show contestant, from couch potato streamer to adult games broadcaster or IRL vlogger, or from freelance journalist to investigative reporter, from reporter for a communist channel to reporter for a far-right channel, etc.

Of course, EVERY career comes with its own unique cards, interactions and H scenes.

For the first release, 100 -/+ cards will be available. Enough to keep you busy for a good while, with all the other things the game has to offer.

3) But where's the porn in all this?

To answer your question: everywhere, my friend!

In more detail, someone asked me "Are H scenes only little pictures sent on the "discord like" app? The answer is obviously no, although a lot of H-scenes can be expected through discussions.

For example, during your working day, you'll mostly be dealing with choices that influence the careers of your girls, as explained in the segment above. But some choices will also ask you to give your girls a specific order for the day, for example "do a report on that shop that sells hentai cards", or "do a 24-hour live stream"...

Once you're back in the PC desktop, you can observe the consequences of your choice by watching a replay of how your talent handled the order given! For example, for the 24-hour live show, you can watch a replay of your sister Elaine stream by clicking on the "TV PIPPIN" application.

1706606580914.png
Then select the channel in which your talent appears! Of course, each channel remains within its own theme.

AINBICI is a channel that broadcasts entertainment programmes such as big-budget films and reality shows, CATCH IT is a particularly dangerous investigation channel, M/R is a communist news channel, while CNIOUZ is a far-right news channel, etc...

For Elaine and her 24H stream, we click on the logo that strongly resembles the Twitch logo (purely by chance, of course), which takes us to Elaine's stream page.

1706606831587.png

The higher the level of the agency, the higher the LUST statute, and the more sexualised, or at least DANGEROUS, the jobs offered to your girls.

Another place where you can see H scenes is in the JOB section. One of the visible stats is your girls' LUST. This affects the dialogue, of course, but also, for example, the scenes in the JOB part, or even unlocks new cards for the JOB part.

In the job section, on the screen above the 'lightning bolts' and 'dollars' tokens, there's another token. This one represents the "CAPACITY" token, which is used to choose, at most once per working day, an order given to one of your girls who is directly correlated with the agency. This could be distributing flyers, going door-to-door, etc... Events that you can see in real time in the JOB section, by clicking on the "?" logo when it appears, as in the trailer!

The greater the lust of the girl receiving the order, the more SEXUALISED her handling of the order will be.

That's quite a lot of potential H-scenes, although, I hear, less for those who'd rather see the MC banging all the girls in the region than those who'd rather corrupt the MC's entourage to the point of depravity.

I assume that the NTR aspect of the game hasn't passed you by, given that the principle is based on observing rather than acting, but let's develop the NTR aspect a little further.


4) The NTR (BNWOLESS GARANTEED)

The NTR part of the game is pretty central with what we've already developed, but there's more, because one of the other MAIN aspects of the game is that you'll be able to connect to the 'discord' account (called DESPOT here) of your girlfriend, Morgane, at your leisure.

You'll be able to listen in on all her discussions, from mundane ones (although trying to strike the right note every time, as the aim isn't for you to read a discussion between two people about the groceries they went shopping for the day before) to more... Prohibited ones, between your girlfriend and other people.

Because Morgane is, as the name suggests, an E-THOT. Charming people into buying her skins? Entering Despot chats just to say "Hi, I'm new here ^^"? Putting up inappropriate profile pictures and feigning ignorance? Yes, she has ALL the flaws of an E-GIRL!

But don't panic, because ALL discussions are optional, i.e. those that don't involve the main characters (dialogues with main characters who therefore include 0 or almost no NTR in their dialogues between them). You can block EVERY contact in the "friend list" menu that doesn't interest you.

The NTR is pretty soft here too, as Morgane will never fall in love with anyone other than our MC, and he controls her as he pleases (through you, that is).

NTR is still unavoidable due to the very concept of the game, which is to watch your girls in increasingly hot TV programmes and the like, which is why I wouldn't recommend the game to anyone who abhors every aspect of NTR/cheating.

Thank you for reading, and I'm always happy to answer any questions you may have!

NTRS is only if the MC (not the player) wants to share her intentionally, if some of the discussions are rpivate stuff shes hiding from you, if she does more than you agreed/epected on her jobs, etc, it would still fall into NTR.

No it is not? if nts is sharing, and ntr is beign stolen from someone none of the two are the central pieces here. It's cheating first and foremost, sprinkled with NTX elements here and there. I guess the dev added ntr because jealousy will be a key element in the whole scheme.

definitely would be careful using others art for the background
If anyone want his drawing removed from the game, I will ! The game will be free so that shouldn't cause any trouble, right ?

Jealousy won't be a central key of the game, no, I actually wrote NTR because there's a lot of "seeing your girlfriend being groped, flirting with others, or being used", sometimes with the MC's consent if it's for a job, and sometimes not, when she's doing the E-Girl on her own (the part where the MC spies on her).

That's more than cheating, but not enough to be called NTR.

But since it's still too much NTR for those who hates any kind of "sharing", I still need to write so they won't get dissapointed

any eta on demo?
I'm thinking end of March for a release with a decent amount of content!

Now that I have (hopefully) finished every aspect of the coding part, I can focus 100% on the writing and CG. It should be like writing a book at this point.

Didn't ask a question, just made a statement. NTR does not have to end with the girl leaving MC nor is it just straightfotward cheating, someone cheating (even if via merit of lying/breaking rules while in a Sharing relationship) is considered NTR if we get exposition on the relation since NTR as a genre is based on the narrative style/feeling it presents, hence why there's things such as "childhood friend NTR" despite the fact technically no cheating can happen if there is no formal relation. Cheating, NTR and NTRS are their own genres and thus can all be present in a single work simultaneously. Ratatat, Kon-Kit, Atelier and p much most of the more succesful NTR creators aren't gonna change the definition just because some people disagree. But if you wanna have your own definition of NTR tho, thats up to you.

Ah, that's interesting. Usually when the partner is involved/aware of the situation jealousy (or any other negative emotion) is like the glue that -usually- keep all the parts together.
Anyway, I like what you are trying to do, looks very interesting :coffee:
