Patiently waiting for the update!
Without spoiling anything, can anyone tell me if the update has more scenes than just flashbacks with Pia?

The only sex scene in this update is the flashback with Pia, yes.
But that's only as far as sex is concerned. The main story keeps moving forward, and actually next update will put an end to this first part of the story, or chapter, or season, or however you wanna call it.

God no, please no...
man this game started soooo good, first sex scene with Selene one of the best around these games... now we have them flasbacks (cuz a sex scene flasback is so important story wise) and secret galeries unlockables...What does that mean, no animations in this update?

The developer is writing a dramatic space thriller with a limited timeline for the hero and heroine to overcome the bad guys. It is simply not a dumb wankfest game, and trying to force a sex scene with the heroine into the plot at this point would just be obvious illogical fanservice.
The update does contain a number of animations in the flashback sex scene with Pia, and a number of animations at points in the main plot. However the dev has previously said he wants to add even more, as he enjoys making them.

We are getting all lost in the weeds in this forrest of so many days wandering aimlessly around this space station looking for a scene or two at the right time in the right room.
You don't have permission to view the spoiler content.
Log in or register now.
How much codes does it take to make it so there was this one room/corner/bed/couch/tube or:
NO.1 - shower,
NO.2 one of the other bunks,
NO.3 gym closet,
NO.4 gym changing room,
NO.5 air ducts
NO.s 6 to infinity - of literal dozens of the unutilised rooms all around the ship where every day/other day/week/month MC would get together with the currently only GF he has - a living breathing bombshell who is this close to getting offed - to have sexual healing??? For all MC knows he could go streaking and have public sex anywhere on this barren ship.
Plot advancement - MC should not go mad with his long lost gf fever dreams and this would make the tiring +time consuming+ nothingness growing inside and outside all around him in his current situation - seem a little more bearable?

OK, first of all,
You don't have to roam the spaceship to randomly bump into a scene or too. That's misleading for potential new players.
The game is mostly a VN, and when it goes into sandbox mode and you do have to go somewhere at a specific time (very few instances throughout the game), the hint system tells you where you have to go and it's absolutely straightforward.
Am I a fan of sandbox elements? NO, I'M NOT.
But are they unbearable in this game? NO, THEY AREN'T. They are pretty secondary at this point.
The only times when you have to do a bit more roaming is at the end of each update, to find the secret pics if, and only if you are interested in those. And again, there are hints telling you the room where you have to look for them.
Now, on a different subject, I'm not sure if I understood Cantonese correctly this time: were you complaining that the sanbox was horrible while asking for repeatable sex scenes?
don't lie.

I think it's important to understand where this game has come from and how it has changed.
It is my understanding (and Marvellous Lunatic please correct me if I am misleading people) that the original vision of the game was based around the large spaceship forming a sandbox in which the full story could be told.
The developer chose many things that are not "default renpy f95 game" because that's how he prefers to work:
- to build his own game engine in unity
- make his own 3d assets
- choose a non-standard render pipeline
He is not a person who follows the easy, normal path. He does these things primarily because he enjoys the creation process, not because he is trying to cash-in with "college kid's father died so now he lives with his landlady and roommates (Hint Hint) game #43"
Because he is approaching it like a true writer and allowing the text and the characters to drive the plot, he has found that the needs of telling the story have made it have a quite linear Kinetic Novel style gameplay, that is not really suited to the sandbox style game that was the original vision.
He has told me that this entire current arc of the story is just the introduction. Soon it will come to the end, and then MC will find himself on the ship with more people awake. In this second arc, the sandbox style will come into much wider use, as ******* (<--- spoilers I will not reveal).
As the introduction which has few choices is developed, the bones of the sandbox game engine remain (the map, the navigation, the quest log, the hints) but it's not really used.
Perhaps some players wish the still-in-development game was different. But it is the creation of the dev, it is his choice how to make it.
If you are not even a supporter, you have exactly zero rights to complain. Even if you are a Patron - remember you are supporting the artist make what they want to make - you are not buying a product. No-one is forcing you to be a supporter. If you don't like the creation, stop supporting.
It seems so easy to understand to me, discussion finished.

Nobody:
The dev: "Let's put the MC's yellow ass into the preview pics, my target audience will love this"

That's for the female audience, every Hollywood movie needs a male ass shot too
I'll put this on the back burner until i see a completed tag for the whole story not just a season or chapter. The scenes, the models are great, the story ok for the most part. Just a bit too slow for me and unfortunately i'm also not so interested in sex scene in the flashback. Good luck Dev.
The freckles on the face of the readhead in screenshots 1, 4, 5 and 6 are way over done, or is this supposed to be some alien woman? Also the freckles on the redhead in screenshots 9 and 13 are so badly overdone they look like she's just covered in dirt.
I'm guessing the dev really likes freckles but struggled to make them show up well with the lighting, and rather than fix the lighting, because admittedly, lighting is hard, he just amped up the freckles to stupid levels, and now the effect just looks bad. Unfortunate.

Anyone got a save file with scene replay unlocked? I'm not going through this again and gameplay is kinda tedious.
