I'm gonna lay it out for you one more time so braindead imbeciles like you who can't read will understand. Or maybe you read it and your head's too far up your own ass to understand what they said. Either way, I'mma say it one more time. I'm sick and fucking tired of people like you spreading shit like this.

The project was in a conceptual stage since 3-4 years ago. There was no actual team put together and was originally a passion project. Meaning, these guys take their spare time to do it. All three of them have lives and had full time jobs, so of course there's not much progress. It was FOR FUN. Initially, it was touted as just that, a passion project. Meaning, no gain apart from the satisfaction of doing something cool for the community. In other words, no monetary gain.

Then things got bad when COVID happened and everyone's life changed. The devs were forced to release something that was worked on as a PASSION PROJECT.

Ungrateful entitled coomers like you, who get this shit for free because you're literally on a site that lets you download it all for free and not support the devs who work their asses off to deliver on something that was a side project, hastily bumped up to main event status. And all you have to say is that they've been working on it for several years?

This game's barely been in actual production for one and a half years, by a 3 man team.

Don't spew shit you know nothing about. All you do is give the devs a bad name. They're some of the hardest working people I've ever had the pleasure of meeting.

Case in point example, the bug that locked everyone out of finishing the last quest in the update that dropped yesterday was fixed in less than 10 hours.

I dunno what you want from them. If you wanna be negative, by all means go on. But all you're doing is make yourself look like a dipshit and inviting people to report you then for mods to ban you for offering nothing helpful apart from the same fucking message that the devs addressed from the month they released.

God, people like you are annoying.

Do not forbid someone from expressing your opinion that you are a supporter does not make you the sheriff of this page you jump on everyone who dare to say something negative about this project and I am not interested in whether they created it out of passion or for fun, I was interested in the end result for some time but this it is very far away.
And keep your devoted fanaticism to yourself

People are oddly very defensive and angry about this game, much more so than other games on this site, it's bizarre. A slow burn story in favor of instant gratification is fine, but I don't see what's so special about the story in the game. So far the setup is pretty standard, guy lives with sexy "landlady" whom he has sexual tension with, guy works for sexy boss whom he has sexual tension with, guy does nice things for sexy ladies, guy has dreams about fighting sexy lady. Am I missing something? The writing isn't bad, it's just not particularly interesting at the moment. It's written like an instant gratification game, so it's no wonder people are asking where the porn is.

In order to avoid coming off as completely negative, I will say the art in the game is great and I have high hopes for the future. I just think people need to relax a little bit. Not everyone has to agree with your love for the game.

A nuanced and level-headed take; love to see it.

Me personally, I'm firmly in the camp of: I know and understand the project's background/context and I have good hopes for it, so I'll gladly wait a while until the game gets more fleshed out by the devs.

That said, I can also understand the frustration of some people regarding the proper adult content (read: sex scenes) and some constructive criticism regarding the story. But I'll personally wait some more months before I even start judging the game because there's no rush and there are plenty more other games to keep us occupied.

As long as we keep discussion civil and constructive, it's all welcomed.

I really want this game to be successful, but the devs have had a rough start and aren't making it easy for themselves.

This 0.2 update was released with a glaringly obvious bug that would have been caught if they did any play testing. This leaves a very bad impression for any new player who just found the game, or for anyone coming back who is considering supporting them. Same for having incompatible saves and not announcing it in the release post. Players usually understand that early versions have code changes and saves might not work, but if you don't remind them that old saves are broken you are wasting their time while they try the old save first. Then you get all the confused and angry "I'm stuck" posts that also leaves a bad impression.

As for the whole development timeline argument, I do understand the whole team is relatively new, but there are posts in the discord server from March 31st 2019 with renders used in the first chapter. That's over a year and a half before the Nov 2020 launch.

There is also very little communication between releases. Even if the writers and coders are busy toiling away (I don't doubt that they are) there is no attempt to keep the hype alive with sneak peaks or test renders. This game is riding on the quality of the art right now. Interest fades massively between releases, and when your releases are troubled it further reduces the odds that someone will convert that interest into support.

I don't mind the story being slow either, they are working on something special and should take their time.

I wish them success, but they will have to improve some things going forward.

KatsuTameni I understand getting frustrated when people are wrong on the internet, or worse, when they're lying. But please understand, you won't be able to correct all of them and you will go crazy if you try. I just think you'd enjoy rubbing that pussy of yours more if your blood pressure was at a healthy level.

Hehe xD Thank you.

It's probably because I've been a long time fan of the writer's work and I know him personally. And I see how much stress and work he puts into it.

I don't really do it to everyone though. Just people like that guy who spews bullshit. I'm pretty tolerant otherwise ^.^

Hi,
I am on "Knock on Vera's door". I tried every part of the day. When I click on "Vera's apartment" screen goes black. I can see money etc. and I can click on map to go somewhere else. But Vera's apartment is black hole. I skipped a day - same shit. Is this part even in the game?

On Saturday, I talk to mom, then go to the mall to pick up Vera's wine. Then I buy her coffee. I go to her house and have a conversation about cooking. When we enter the kitchen, it goes black.

I have problems in the part, of the visit to Vera's department, the screen stays black, there the whole development ends or just an error? But the game is very good
