Spend any amount of time in business development and you will hear the terms "target market" and "ideal customer". The focus on these concepts is preached as religion to limit scope creep in product development, prioritize features to maximize customer value, and guide marketing for efficient campaign spending. Appealing to a broader audience is often a side effect of developing a great product but should never be an objective. Even when the target market is determined to be exhausted or too niche to be sustainable, the strategy is to define a new target market and align to the expectations and value of a new ideal customer. If Le Stag feels the need to pivot to a new target market or make changes to satisfy their current target market, then by all means they should do so. If they are feeling pressured to meet the demands of a broader audience than the market they want to develop for, then they should gracefully decline those demands.

Again, kudos for the branching of paths. There is another dev I'm hooked on trying to do the same and getting pushback from the more hardcore neto fans for possibly delaying updates or becoming less detailed in their approach to the linear storyline. I know it's more work and I know it's more time consuming. And I know you may not even agree with it yourself. But I also KNOW it's your poll and you got opinions from people who are interested. And if they're interested, and you can pull it off, then you benefit fiscally. It's a given that if people don't like it they will drop their support, come back for the updates, and drop it again. Or maybe just stop entirely. It doesn't matter who the majority of contributors are now, only how many you pick up going forward. You're doing great work and it's entirely up to you, but people who want something different are starting to notice and it's a good place to be!!

Would it be possible for the sections in-between chapters to get an expansion? The random ones where various different things happen? Like, maybe some customisation, if you want Laura to spend more time with the bulls so the likelihood of scenes between you two goes down and vice versa? And maybe have the option to let them go on for longer, maybe a chat message that could continue the story or go back to a few chats of random events. It would also be neat if there were some slightly longer random events like a non plot advancing bar visit, friends sleepover etc. Though they'd probably require some more story progress since I don't think Laura is quite there yet to bang true randoms that easily.

Agreed! Tara has become my Holy Grail for this VN - the idea of corrupting her is delightful and while she acts tough, it is also apparent she is not as open with her sexuality, so for her to do anything overtly kinky out of the gate would be a departure from her character development to this point.

I don't see where the original post didn't make things pretty clear. I loved ch45, understood ch46 was a stand alone (not coded to import prev choices). And it looks like you've opened up to paths that allow the player to make decisions that can either go down the NTS rabbithole or just tickle the edges. I know that's a lot of work, but I'll bet this sets Netorase Phone apart (although there's a growing list of others that are starting to examine/learn how to do that now, too). First in makes you a God LOL

Hoping for a some more Tara in this update.
