1) I've already mentioned that at playable day 7 some main story plots will finally start (Dylan, Ellie).
That's why the next update will be as rapid and short as possible. It'll be the entire playable day 6 and I think highly probable it won't even have 100 renders, just to speed it extremely up. So, it's not a promise, but if I'll start with the development of the next version on Thursday 21, then I could be finished with it in about 2,5 weeks and finally start with the more interesting and lucid game parts. Actually even this update has also practically no really "unimportant" renders! The scenes are going much smoother and quicker in each other now!
2) I know that there are mainly casual events at the moment. But this is also how it was planned. First some flirting, teasing, groping and casual events for a start, where you also become acquainted with the characters. Then it will get more precise with some characters. After all don't forget we're just at playable day 6 of 30 with the next update.
Yes, the whole build up came out much more complex than I've expected it to be, but this is also my very first project and it is a matter of experience! AND: This is a game (VN) in development where everything will get more and more lewd and lucid slowly. This is not the development of some stupid, senseless, unrealistic porn episodes for every update!
But I have still to admit, that maybe I planned the project too complex with too many characters what leads to too many plot lines and at the end is just too much for one single developer, who's especially trying to make very elaborate, detailed, authentic... just perfect art, what is just my passion and obsession! That's why I've also deleted (or shortened) some character plot-lines and will concentrate myself soon mainly on Dylan, Ellie, Sam and from playable day 9 on also the teacher plot. Many plots are interwoven together. But there will still also be little story lines with the new friends of Sophia (Alyssa and Vicky). And of course there will still be some side events. And also for the second choosable side job, which starts at playable day 11, I've spent a lot of time to write it and for me this is one of the best parts of this VN!
What concerns the first side job, I don't know how people are into grandpa/younger woman stuff. Maybe I'll do a poll if people want to see where it goes at all or if I should cancel it completely.
3) The subway scene in the current version is exactly like it should be! I didn't want Sophia to get raped or extremely groped now! This villain plot line is still not over! It will be important what Sophia decides to do the following day! So, like I already said, there are almost no scenes, which won't have an effect on the further story development!
4) Many who are complaining about slow development should first of all consider that I'm a single developer doing a work for several people! But nevertheless there are already !!2700!! practically perfect to the smallest detail and very elaborate, manifold renders created! And the language I know perfectly is German. So I always have to translate all this text into English, what also takes some time unfortunately!
And I also don't need so much time like some people are claiming! The last version I've started to develop normally was about at the 12th of May. Firstly I had to do a little break after working many months without a pause. And then I also had to replace my GPU's. So I needed 5 weeks (6 1/2 weeks all together) for the last update and not 2-3 months (8-12 weeks) like I've often read.
5) I've also read hundreds of times in forums that Sophia is too "prude". Well, I guess many people are accustomed that women in these kind of games are all stupid sex-toys and whores! Sophia is more rational, kind and is acting like a "normal" woman! And normal, intelligent women are not very amused about getting sexually harassed by strangers or talking about lewd stuff with their sisters! The idea was, that such a "normal" woman gets more and more relaxed to some filthy decisions with the story or getting corrupted to some decisions and even takes pleasure in it! And you also have the chance to choose the filthy reaction, what doesn't make her so "prude" even yet! After all she hasn't done anything so extremely filthy yet, to being a filthy whore who does everything with everyone now! And some elements are deliberately a little raised to make the change more evident later!
6) Last but not least: I decided to give access to vers. 0.04 and next version 0.05 in a "1 day procedure" for my patrons! From vers. 0.06/0.07 on it'll be normal again.
