Sure you do.

The difference here is, if you have something to say about my game, which you don't.
I doubt you've read it but let's say you have... we WANT feedback, both positive and negative.
I'm not going to run to a Mod to have a comment from our forum banned, or deleted because
I had my feefees hurt. Just like I wouldn't ban or kick someone from our Discord for having
a negative opinion. I would take time, like I do to talk to them and understand them.
That's the difference.

So yes. We can cut the fake CSR cardboard response. The difference here is I ACTUALLY
WANT SoA to succeed and grow. I think you and I differ very much on that. I don't see it as
just "porn" or spank bait... Well I don't see anything as soank baoit actaully

I'm playing it right now, though I think I've played enough to get the gist. I don't enjoy giving negative feedback—I have plenty of it, but I don’t like engaging in negative dialogue. The game just isn't for me. I find the dialogue lifeless and stiff (for example, "Did you finally sign that big deal?" "Yeah, with the client I told you about."). It’s the kind of generic, lifeless dialogue we’ve seen a thousand times before, but this time with even less detail, like a filler episode in the middle of a conversation. The main character feels like a spineless cretin with no self-respect, and the wife comes across as a gaslighting manipulator. It's for other people to enjoy, and that’s fine.

I also didn't say it's just porn, I said it is porn. That doesn't mean we're not trying to improve the writing, but that is something that can only be done through improving over time, and hopefully less tight deadlines than what we've run with so far.

I do find it amusing you think I don't want to see it succeed and grow when I've put many, many hours into helping... I don't even disagree with some of your points. But we have jobs, we have responsibilities. Once something is written we don't have endless time to rewrite, re-render and re-edit the images for that portion.

I bear you no ill will, in spite of you attacking my contributions, my skills and apparently even my gender as the chapter apparently made you "hate men". But I do find myself a little annoyed by the fact you seem unable to engage in critique without ad hominem and hostility. That isn't very productive.

"Hating men was a joke" I obviously don't.
I'm trying not to bear you ill will either so, truce?
We both want Shadows of Ambition to succeed. Agreed?
You just have to be willing to accept criticism as well as positive feedback.
I am curious which version of A Wife's Loyalty that is. What's on F95Z is the beta demo.
Which I joined up after to fix it. Believe me, I dealt with A LOT of criticism haha

We released the Alpha on Patreon last week. That one I re wrote. Not the beta demo.
But anyone with a not so positive view of the beta demo is very welcome to it.
I honestly had some choice things to say about it myself. I have nooo problem discussing
what I feel are weakness in the projects I'm involved in. And you're right, it's not for everyone.
My work is real NTR. Not the misunderstood trash filling.. well.. everywhere.

Enough about that though. I am sorry, truly, if I made you think I was somehow bashing you
directly for being a guy. On the flip side, my point is it gets old fast all the damn objectification.
Normally I don't mind it. I don't get mad when I get cat called in real life. I don't care if some rando
grabs my ass. I tend to laugh it off. My exes start fights though. I'm actually pretty chill with a good
sense of humor. The issue is how that scene was delivered. It was stupid and bad. Had Luke been there
it would have been good. Opinion sure. I challenge you to try my suggestion and see how it plays out.
I guarantee you it will be better seeing Luke getting teased.

So are we good now?

kristo0086: As I just said, I have a really good sense of humor. This is for you:



Me and my ass

Sorry. I had to get some payback hahaha

Hello, congratulations on your game! I generated this image to show that I have some knowledge of what I’m talking about (This just the best approximation of what I feel the style is, using a lot of Melkor, of which I was a fan long before the AI scene. It hasn't been cleaned up or upscaled... t's raw footage.) and am not just pulling things out of thin air. I’m a low-key developer, and you’re welcome to check my portfolio if you’d like. Typically, I wouldn’t message a random porn site, which is how I personally view this, but while I was on my goonses, I came across your game. It immediately captured my attention... the style was compelling. I launched it, tried it out, and the consistency of the characters and the manipulation of the poses impressed me. I felt it was important to at least share my thoughts.
Couldn’t care 10 shits of fetishes involved, that’s for the rest of the community to decide. What fascinates me is the consistency of the AI and the narrative(coorelating images). Now, I’m familiar with Controlnets and Loras, obviously (I’m by no means a pro, not even a novice), I worked on some of my own tensors and stuff but... I’d love to hear about the workflow for training character Loras and working with Controlnets .The moment I saw your game, I realized I had to message you, ask questions, and show my appreciation... so, do with that what you will. I’m familiar with Daz and Reallusion, and I’ve invested thousands of hours refining my own Dforce shaders, especially when it comes to hair (though, with Melkor, it doesn’t really matter).
I see immense potential, maybe 3D game or recreating the shader in an actual game or a 3D novel. Imagine that? Whatever it is, the possibilities are endless, and they flashed through my mind. I couldn’t resist asking you about it, so yeah... I’d be glad to hear what you think?

Hi, I just finished the game... and it blew my mind how much I liked it. So keep up the great work, it doesn't matter what others say or think. You have a certain vision, stick with it.
