Developer Notes:
Not sure what I should put in here... I'm a noob developer from Poland, with little experience in writing, even less experience in coding, absolutely zero experience with both project management and sound design (which is why the game doesn't feature any sounds ATM, kek), who's never been in a serious relationship... Which makes me the perfect person to write a serious, emotional, kinky romance story, entirely in English, about two Japanese students, coming together and stumbling through this crazy relationship
The idea was born some four years ago, stemming from my frustration with the femdom genre, and how most Dommes are portrayed as irresponsible, nasty, abusive sociopaths, whom I wouldn't want to be friends with, much less allow them anywhere near my junk. NLWAT is my response to that. I took inspiration from a lot of Manga and Anime, so don't be surprised by some cliche tropes appearing. In terms of tone, In case you are interested, I am striving for something between Nana to Kaoru and Tsumi to Kai / Shibatte Mitsumete... Except more explicit. Much more explicit.
I still haven't decided a full list of kinks, I know that bondage, feet, spanking and some T&D will definitely be in there, but other than that... I am trying to figure out a diegetic system that allows you to skip content, while still playing into the story, but one that will not be so difficult to implement that it would drive me to drinking and hookers... I suppose you can check the Genre spoiler to see what kinks I am interested in putting in, at least.
What I can definitely tell you however, is what will NOT be in the story:
Any form of NTR / CheatingAny form of FindomScat/Watersports/BloodHeavy CBTWhat else... I don't know. Read the prologue and see for yourself. I know there isn't much in there yet, but... I guess I just wanted to see just how bad my writing will turn out to be.
Also, keep in mind, I am learning everything as I go. I am more than happy to listen to constructive criticism, and even happier to listen to solid explanations about why something does or doesn't work, or why I should or shouldn't do something.
