Hello, can you please come again? I wasn't unable to understand your question. Sorry!
I think they're asking if your experience working on the Christmas update will help streamline the process of making future regular updates.

aka does this update help make new content go brrr.

I have reviewed game on Nov 5, 2020 the version of the game at the time were v0.1.2.
It is Jul 2023, the version of the game is... "v0.1.2.3b". With barely anything new in the game relative to amount of time passed. Update delivered what feels like to only remove "dead" tag on f95. And roadmap is full of 0% 0/11 tasks completed, 25% done... Why do people give this developer 7k$ per month?
Honestly this income looks super wierd, is he boosting himself? Or laundering money? There is way more promising games, with even more content, and consistent updates and additions, than this disaster, with way less income than this cringe.

The base game is almost 8 hours.
The update deliverer it almost 5, and looks even better than before, way, way better.

I guess yeah, it was delivered only to remove the dead flag, is not like 90% of my users come from itch.io, anyway.
But its okay, I understand your comment. Not a lot of users has actually the time to play the game. I would suggest unfollowing this thread, there are lots of way better games out there than this cringe game!

3 years, to deliver, 5 hours... Wow. You unironically saying this, makes it even funnier. :sneaky: It looks even better, checks posts over last few weeks... Bunch of people complaining about bugs. Yep. Better indeed, for my point. Guess couldn't find time to playtest and fix those bugs over last 3 years, need 2 more years to fix bugs now.

Bugs were fixed in multiple updates after v0.1.2.1.

In v0.1.2.1, the snowy update was posted.
In v0.1.2.2, 10 days later, the renpy got updated, and MOST of chapter 1 reworked SYSTEMS were implemented, making the game work way, way better, and with less lag.
In v0.1.2.3b, 20 days later, all bugs were fixed and there was polish.

This update was created in 6 months, not 3 years.

There are some specific bugs from specific software, but not something I can control.
For a normal user, there isn't any bug, it's our own mind's fantasy that is creating them for convenience.
Please, play it or stop trolling this thread!

I see you spend more time making excuses, and explanations instead of making a good game, explains everything.
Notice how you mince words, its not the content amount, its "this update was created". ;)
I'll take note, next time our client find a bug, i'll say "normal clients doesn't have bugs" and proceed to ignore it. :D

Honestly, this drama is so weird. I downloaded this game recently and was a tad disappointed about the amount of content for 4 years of development aswell.

It does make me wonder if it will take another 5-7 years per chapter and is the reason I won’t support it, let alone bother checking for updates. Nonetheless, it was enjoyable and I wouldn’t mind stumbling upon a more developed version in the future.

Was checking out the highest rated reviewed games on this site and stumbled across this one. Saw the staff note on the like/review manipulation. Is that why this game is near the top, or am I confusing it with something else?

I had role rewards for my discord to people who rated the game anywhere.

Moderators talked to me about this, and I was super accessible in changing whatever needs to be changed to not break the rules, and I followed every instruction and did the changes needed almost immediately. I have no intention to manipulate the reviews, the game has good reviews by itself.

The role rewards were there for 2 days, and only ----> ONE RATING <----- was done after the role rewards.

It's the first time I see the disclaimer.
To be honest, putting a disclaimer of "Dev is KNOWN for review manipulation" is WAY too much when I fixed everything as soon as the problem appeared. I even made a post telling my users that ANY rating done in F95 for the roles will be asked to be deleted, and, in case of not wanting to do so, will get reported via a ticket so it gets deleted because I have no intention to manipulate the reviews.

But... well...
In short, all ratings have been done organically for 3 years.

I'll open a ticket soon to take that disclaimer out of there, it makes no sense at all.

Love how chapter 1 was teased for almost / more than 2 years and being almost complete (or how you say "I'm being a perfectionist" only going to release it if it's completely done.)

Then you say it'll be split in more parts. You know. After several years.

Then you look at your trello almost everything is at 0 to 20%. After more than 2 years. Because 2 years ago the update is just a few days away.
And still part 1 of the supposed complete Chapter 1 won't release in a few month. Maybe you should start a new winter/christmas update. Maybe this time it'll be ready in time. Then you can milk more money. Because, you know, you don't care if people stop supporting you.
If you had one bit of dignity, you yourself would suspend the payment on Patreon.

Gotta admit though, I'm kinda jealous. Getting more than three times the amount of money that I make for doing almost nothing for more than 2 years, while several games are completed and considered one of THE best on this site while you consolidate that it'll be great! When it'll release! Sometimes soon! In a few days! Or month! Man I'd love to get that money.

It had the potential to be one of the fucking best on this site. Maybe even one of the best AVN of all time. Your update shows it. But fuck me, in the same time there were some fucking indie games that are awesome and are also made by a single person. Not just a fucking visual novel. That in my opinion is unacceptable.

Wish you all the best but for fucks sake, show something after more than 2 years of "work" instead of telling people you're working on it. If you complete the game I'm fucking ready to give you money but not with these shenanigans

Thank you so much. I'm aiming this high.
I'm happy to know that the update shows it.

I hope for you to, once the update releases, play it and maybe understand a little bit more. I'm not going to say anything else, because as you said, my word has no weight.
Still, thank you.

A small reminder iNSight of you were started around early 2020, it got finished in 2023. In time it took you to release... Barely anything, entire game got made. It has better crumbs of gameplay than this garbo, decent models, don't you even dare to say they cheated by using honey select, and actually decent writting. Yes it is not as sandbox as your trash, but man, they were not making same buck.

That's strange. Even Zimon from CoR got a private warning when they caught him manipulating reviews directly and nothing was made public until he stirred things up elsewhere.
