I'm more interested in adding routes for all the other girls at (clearly not college, but rather obviously high) school than for arbitrary gifts and whatever else that's supposed to be. Oh, and apparently the new girls at work, since there's a work now. Why add all these new characters if nothing is to be done with them? Just "fleshing out" the world? They should be part of this whatever harem he's building.

And the story, which was interesting from the beginning but has totally collapsed into abandonment. Maybe do some of that.

Our boy did mention that he had some difficulties with his mental health back in 2019, maybe that stopped the progress.

Other than that, I think some small progress is being made, albeit incrementally.

Suffering from mental health issues fucking sucks bro, I hope that he feels better to deliver his artistic visions.

I guess I'm just approaching this from the perspective of a somewhat ignorant fan who has followed this game for 1 year and ultimately wants it to succeed, sorry if this perspective is biased or false in any ways.

I mean, it’s not like I’m in a different position here. First played the game roughly a year ago. Only became more invested when I started the FAQ/assorted info post half a year or so ago.

Yeah, I don’t get that part either. Seems like a waste of several months of development time so far, though it does have the benefit to prevent some soft-locking that may occur otherwise. Some character interactions are gated behind having a good enough relationship, which may lock you out of progress if you chose particularly poor dialogue options.

At least the next update will have more Lashley content. I certainly wouldn’t mind finally getting an actual Hitomi route either.

It’s progressing, though, isn’t it? It’s just unfolding really slowly. The latest update boils down to the MC learning some basic lore about the town, convincing Edward to install cameras all over town to track sex world invasions and getting an excuse to enter the normal-world counterpart of the office that is probably behind the invasions. Both of these are important, but they are essentially preparatory steps for, you know, actually investigating anything. Setting this up took two months of development time (+4 more for art assets), ~2 weeks of in-game time (I think?), and absolutely enormous amounts of mostly unimportant dialogue.

I enjoyed it, as I generally enjoy lore, but I certainly would have enjoyed more actual revelations and some directly sex-world related content more. I mean, it’s nice to know that there were some rival companies and that there’s a (cursed?) mine… but what about the current murder/sex cult and their current kidnapping victims?

----------------------------------------------

Anyway, Geeseki added a few more things back to the v0.34 dev log. Judging from previous speed, it probably take a week more of actual work to complete. So, new update probably in a week or two.

I also cannot tell if the old coder is actually still an active part of the team and what is supposed to happen to their tasks. A single task was marked complete in April, so maybe they are still there? They are responsible for the old Lashley scenes in the bathroom. From what I can tell, the art has actually been complete since August of last year, so we could have had the full scenes ever since…

When MC first meets Zariah he tells her which musicians he was listening to when he got his 'Bases' by Dr. Drae. So, Antarctic Apes = Arctic Monkeys, Deaf Bunk = Daft Punk, but what does BD-NY = ? There is this EDM group from around early-mid 2000s that is right on the tip of my tongue, but I can't think of it. I think it's the BD-NY one, but it's just not coming to me in my old age. I was thinking MDMA but that doesn't really fit. Can anyone help me out?

Looking back the log for v0.33 and v0.34, it turns out that Geeseki actually drew a whole lot of art this time.

Decided to quantify this intuition. Here’s a breakdown of added/coded content when combining the entries for both v0.33 and v0.34:

  • 22 backgrounds for locations
  • CG for 11? old scenes (first counted 19, but there’s
    You must be registered to see the links
    You must be registered to see the links
    so I’m unsure of the exact count)
  • CG for 5 new Lashley scenes
  • Sprites coded in for 5 Lashley sections (not same as the 5 Lashley CG scenes)
  • "varied" Lashley art (office)
  • Art for 4 of the 5 missing punishment sections from of the MomxSis route
  • 15x investigation dialogue sprite coding
  • 1x sprite coding ("parent bedroom" scene)
  • Misc stuff (Hitomi "cum outside", 4 porn mags, giftcard rack, Office reception counter, Ice Creampy "be back in 5 minutes" sign, Allaway sitting at Cafeteria...)
  • Non-art-related: more gifts, gacha machine, new music loop for the club
Remaining on the to-do list for v0.34 are the last MomxSis punishment and two more Lashley scenes. The new coder is also still tasked with sprite-work on two new "throwaway" scenes (with Luna and Cole), as well as on two more Lashley scenes. (Also, the bug reports remain.)

All in all, a very solid amount of stuff for one update, in my opinion, but but much of it is invisible because it is just filling in missing stuff in old scenes / preparing backgrounds for places where nothing happens yet. Also split into two updates, which exacerbates this.

Please note that even with the focus on back filling old stuff, there’s some remaining. CG for 3 old scenes and 6 more location backgrounds are scheduled for v0.35.

Despite the warning, I haven’t really had issues using old saves before. Also, the game lets you set your progress at the start. Even without using an old save you shouldn’t have to replay much of the game.

What is the new cheat code?

"gooptruckin" for v0.33, but you may want to wait for the next update. Should drop soon. Patreon already got the early access version, though I’m not sure whether that means the dev log is behind or whether the last few tasks were just left abandoned on the very last open subtask.
