Developer Notes:

On the tag list, or ambition/scope of the game:
The planned tag list may understandably provoke concern for the viability of the game’s development. And, yes, I do want to do a lot. And yes, we are all all too familiar with the parable of a software developer with big ambitions reaching the sun and coming crashing back down to reality with nothing but empty promises and an unfinished product. I can’t say anything to disprove that that won’t be me, no excuses we haven’t all heard before.

What I can say this:
My approach to development is the iteration of simple systems that work. I have no intent of making a giant interlocking mousetrap of game mechanics on the first pass. My approach is complexity and depth through simple systems interacting with simple systems, not a grandiose system I can never realistically complete.

On the AI CG:
At this time, the game uses AI-generated images for backgrounds. Why? Because I can’t afford an artist. It has its drawbacks, but its an excellent way for me to make the game feel a little more lively than staring at a document. At this time, I have no plans or intent to use AI art for character portraits. It isn’t very good at that so far, and I also want to minimize its use in the game for now. AI art is a fluid and controversial topic, and I feel that at any time storefronts or payment processors may make decisions that require me to strip it out of the game. If it becomes financially feasible to do so, I would love nothing more than to commission art or even hire a dedicated artist to replace it with art that more accurately matches my vision of the World Adrift, but I’m not making promises that that will ever happen.

NTR in A World Adrift:
A World Adrift is not an NTR game. There is not going to be a bait and switch somewhere down the line where all of a sudden we have entered the NTR zone and all that happens now is watching other people fuck your companions. However, the exact definition of NTR seems to be somewhat contested, so I will quickly discuss some matters and plans about the game’s future in that regard.

• Currently there are no plans at all for npcs cheating on the player to be a system in the game. Maybe at some point, but there are so many more impactful and valuable systems I would prefer to implement instead that I can’t imagine when I would find the time to make something like that a priority.
• The player will be able to assign their slaves or workers or what have you to work as prostitutes. This would be entirely optional, and likely similar to the implementation of similar systems in the games mentioned as inspirations to A World Adrift.
• At least one planned unique npc/potential companion is slated to start the game as a sex worker. Odds are very good(in other words, all but certain) that you will not be subjected to seeing them at work on anyone but you.
• At some point or another, it may make sense to have an option to offer your companion for sex to achieve whatever goal or another. This will never be mandatory. There will always be other reasonably accessible alternatives(in other words, you don’t have to min max to avoid having to cuck yourself). Such options even appearing would be able to be disabled in the settings. No exclusive content would ever be locked behind such a thing.
• NTR may play a role in some Bad Ends down the line. I don’t know though, it’d be minor enough that it would be easy to strip out and just avoid the problem in the first place.

A last general promise in this regard: NTR will never be a primary focus for A World Adrift. If it is ever implemented in some capacity, it will be optional, avoidable, have a menu option to just straight up disable seeing it, and be clearly signposted so no one stumbles into it by accident.
