Yeah and it sucks especially after waiting 2- 3 months. Understandable if it's like 2 weeks, but fuck!

There was more than 3 minutes if you didn't just fast forward to the naughty bits. And most of it moved the main story forward. Truly one of the best updates of this vn so far.

Well said. Definitely way more than 3 minutes if you're not just hitting the skip button.

The scrambled word solution is 5 posts up from yours... if that is the one you are looking for. :>)

Good game, nice story, kinda quick paced sometimes so you need to read everything.
Some of the earlier sex scenes had me LOL (2-3 mouse clicks and they're done).
Looks like visual quality improves throughout the game. I played with sounds off (no reason).
Ladies are fine. 3.75 out of 5.

That was a total fail. Case sensitive, a word the vast majority of people never heard so someone has to google, minigame when there wasn't before, etc.

I didn't time myself on how long it took me to complete the latest update, but I have to agree with those who stated it was very short. Maybe I'm just spoiled on some of the other games. I really like Sorcerer. I never hit the skip button by the way I do read the story...and the puzzle did lead me to the forum here for the answer it was what cost me the most time scratching my head.
Hi all
I am a friend and Patreon of the Dev. He no longer visits this site because of the hate posts but I do know he has listened to his Patreon supporter's suggestions. I don't know if a Patreon suggested the puzzle.
I am building my own game now and starting to see the real issues game dev's have. This thread has people saying they do not like the puzzle, or the updates are too short.
Here is an idea of word counts in other games or stories...
Again, how long would your update be if you were making this VN or any VN? Can you please tell me word count and scene count you would put in your project for an update? I am not trying to provoke anyone; I am just trying to understand what people think is adequate for an update when I am having to create my own updates for my game. It seems this dev gets a lot of complaints in the size of his updates. I do not see the same level of complaints on threads I follow in the other games I play, and their updates are similar in word count and/or image count. Of course, there are updates that are a lot larger.
Total fail...I did ask the dev if anyone has complained to him about the last update he created. He said no one other than a Patreon who suggested putting in the hint button. He put in the hint button and none of his Patreons had an issue. The dev also had the best month of new Patreon sign-ups he has ever had AFTER the update came out. You say total fail. I don't see this update keeping away more people supporting him, how is that a fail?
I would like to get a clearer understanding of why you see that as a fail.

EdselPresley and/or MGUltimate I would like to honestly ask you how long you think an update should be for this VN. What I see is the Dev makes his updates the equivalent of a day's story time. An update seems to be from waking up in the morning to going to bed. I have not read the last couple of updates, I wait for a few to be out before I download it, but the one I have finished is 'Day 20'. I went into the code and copied out the just the story text. It is over 73,000 words for 20 days of story. That is 3600 words per update on average. There are over 1662 images for scenes, not including the gui, pinups or side images. That is an average of 83 scenes per update. 73,000+ words kind of shocked me.
Here is an idea of word counts in other games or stories...
- Word counts of J.R.R. Tolkien's: The Hobbit – 95,356 words.
- Word counts of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stones. - 76,944 words.
- The Witcher 3 has a Script Containing over 450,000 words.

MGUltimate your post above, to me just looks like a rant. You can't honestly say rules exist that state a dev can't put in a minigame in their project if none has existed before a certain point. I have not played the update with this minigame, so I don't understand what you mean by case sensitive. You should be clearer in the post of what you are trying to communicate, or it just comes of as a rant or hate post.

I downloaded this a few days ago and glad I did. It has been a good distraction from the type of games I usually play. After reading the last few posts I wanted to give my input on update sizes. I personally want at least 20 mins of entertainment. I would love more but that is about the time you get on watching a 30 min TV show. Not sure why people complain here about a free game that is obvious the guy is still working on. If you have a problem with how short a developer makes an update why not just wait a few updates and then download. It is not like you pay $60 for a release that has been hyped for years and it comes out unplayable or crashes ever few minutes, that I can see complaining about, but seriously, why so serious?
I like this game.

Thank you, was surprised that Zoey Raven didn't put in the Walkthrough, so did a search for Puzzle, and found this. Again, thank you.

I don't play the game, so I missed that part of the code. Plus, I usually don't put many games in my walkthroughs. Because they drive me nuts.
If I remember right...
