Those who are paying for this game don't play it, it's a waste of time, like me giving money to something that has nothing good, each update is like a version of your new house. If you want to be a builder, go and create a game of architects, scam people.

I agree with you friend, I have been following this game for a long time and I do not comment or publish and I must say that with each update it is dedicated to improving the house, it should be called.

^^ This is what happens when you ban an immature child from your Discord, in case you were wondering.
Since I feel bad about coming here just to write about this nonsense, let me tell you guys that development is going well and that I'm planning to release a beta (ver0.4.5) that includes changes to the intro, a small new task to the very first quest, and most importantly: general gameplay improvements to the navigation system, a new main menu, and other cool QoL features that will come in 0.5.
If it hurts you when others tell you the truth, make things right and stop crying, the child is you.

I hope someone never have to build a house themselves or it will be on shaky foundations. Here the footings are being laid on the solid ground that has been found. Misamor is making sure that the next phases will be level with foundation walls without cracks and straight walls on ground level. Once that is done, the rest will be a breeze and will be done and integrated with ease.

It's a very slow burn but I have faith that once Misarmor has the gameplay and mechanics nailed down they'll deliver a great story with plenty of hot action. MC will definitely take control of the house properly

Nearly wants to see how badly (possibly) these two has screwed up that Dev kicked them out from Discord. Some reason feeling that there was hurtful text throwed around like without thought.

As I said, it was generally childish behavior. Like throwing tantrums from their posts being deleted by the mod (after posting very fringe porn), and things like that.

It's been burning for almost 2 years, at this point either its burnt to a crisp or the oven isn't even on yet.
The oven not being on is an interesting analogy, actually. Even though said oven not being pictured as being on at all kinda pains me :HideThePain:.
I've only started being actively focused on adding content in 0.4 (0.3 only had the morning Stanley call IIRC in terms of main story), and as updates come along less and less things that are not directly related to content require my attention. I hope most people understand that that kind of work was necessary, though. I often wish I had kept 0.1 somewhere to show you how disgusting it looked. Nobody would have played AHITD if I had kept it looking like that, and it's the same for every other improvement that I brought to the game from 0.2 onwards. They were necessary whether people liked it or not.

To get back to that oven analogy, I'm not even done introducing all the girls yet. So things have really only just started cooking. The oven was built, now I'm assembling the lasagna where you can get to already taste the sauce, and then I'll put it in the oven.

Next update will be focused on Eve, and she will already have sex scenes. So... Does that count as cooking? I don't know. I think that's just the beginning.

I noticed the notes about 4.5 on the discord and look forward to it's release. The change log looks good.

And yes, you need to get your basic frame work properly fleshed out before moving the story forward much or you end up having to work around the issues with your frame work until you get frustrated enough to rebuild it.

And when you take that route, when you finally do rebuild it, you end up having to force your players to start over because you've eliminated a bunch of variables or added a bunch of variables to the early game or both.

I would rather you do that early on where I don't have as much to re-do, or you do it slowly enough that I don't have to start over at all.

The 0.4.5 update is now ready to be released!

This update contains numerous additions and reworks aimed at improving A Home In The Desert's gameplay. It also contains graphic improvements, like re-renders to the living room, kitchen, and corridor areas.
The reworks include improvements to the navigation system, a complete rework of the in-game menu, and additional features like a "quick quest log" that only displays your current active tasks.

Here is the complete changelog:

0.4.1 -> 0.4.5:
- Re-rendered the kitchen and living room. They are now 2 properly distinct locations.
- Re-rendered the first floor corridor.
- Re-rendered and implemented the character appearances and navigation buttons accordingly.
- Reworked the "management menu". It now looks better, cleaner, and it was rid of its useless tabs.
- Added a "transaction details" that shows your expenses and revenue for the current week (WIP)
- The housemate's tab now display a couple "intimate" details.
- Updated the HUD, which comes with a few new functionalities:
- Added "fast travel" buttons to access the house's main locations in one click.
- Added a "motion detector" menu that shows every room in the house, and if they're currently occupied or not.
- Reworked the game's intro
- Added a "fast quest log" that shows all current active tasks.
- Added a horniness bar that shows Alice's current arousal state.
- Added a small task at the beginning of the very first quest.
- Replaced the former stat dice rolls with horniness checks (Angelina's movie night outfit change, and the dishwashing event)
- Added a general tutorial at the beginning of the game.

This update will go through a beta phase for about 10 days, where it will only be available to all employee (5$) supporters and above. You can find the download links in the post following this one.
