Hey everyone,
First of all, happy new year! Thank you so much for your incredible support during the second half of 2025. It means the world to me.
I wanted to share a couple of updates and get your input on some things I've been thinking about.
Development Update
I'm already working on version 0.13 of Thorns Beneath the Wings. This update will continue Elara's corruption storyline and feature special content with Sereneth. I'll be sharing preview renders over the next few days.
Next Project: Your Input Needed
Now, let's talk about what comes after Thorns Beneath the Wings is finished. I have two general ideas, and I really want to know what you think.
To explore more NTR scenarios and situations, I've decided the next game will be set in modern times, no fantasy worlds this time. Just a story that takes place in a contemporary city.
Here are the two approaches I'm considering:
Option 1: Multiple Routes (Point-and-Click Style)
The story centers on a happily married housewife and her adult daughter (college-age).
As the game progresses, players can choose different corruption routes for both characters. These would follow classic NTR scenarios:
For the wife: Her work boss, her father-in-law, homeless, her husband's bully, a neighbor couple interested only in her, etc.
For the daughter: A teacher, her boyfriend's bully, her boyfriend's brother, her gym instructor, her work boss, the return of an ex-boyfriend, etc.
As you can see, there are many potential routes for each character. This would transform the game from a pure visual novel into a point-and-click adventure with a city map, objectives, multiple paths, and branching storylines.
This approach would take longer to develop per update, but it would offer a lot more content and player choice.
Option 2: Linear Story (Like Thorns Beneath the Wings)
This would follow the same formula as Thorns Beneath the Wings, a visual novel focused on the wife and daughter. The wife would have someone corrupting her (similar to what Olgrum does with Sereneth), and the daughter would have her own corruptor, or possibly the same person corrupting both.
This is simpler to develop since there aren't multiple branching routes. Basically the same structure as Thorns, but with a different story, new setting, and fresh themes.
In both options, the husband and boyfriend would be the protagonists, this is NTR, after all.
I personally like both approaches and would be happy developing either one. But what matters most is that the majority of you are satisfied with the content being delivered. So please, let me know what you think about this.
Other Projects
Moving away from the games for a moment. I mentioned I'd be doing animations, and I haven't forgotten. I'm currently learning V.A.M to create animated content.
I'm also considering developing an NTR comic, but I'm not sure if that's something you'd be interested in. Let me know your thoughts on that as well.
That's all for now. Sending you all a big hug, happy new year, and have a great start to the week!
