'cosplay convention' scenes - I saw 2 scenes here, but to my understanding another should come?
'train molester' scene - 4some with train molester and "friends"​
'Hole in the wall continued' scene with variations - 2 types depending if you liked it or not the first time, and a repeat version​
It's not cosplay convention, that's Mai Shiranui. The scenes this patch is Chun Li (photoshoot), not the same thing.

So I talked to Starke about this - The issues here is if all scenes have this feature, it makes people jump right into the gallery and just watch the storybit + scene straight away, instead of actually playing the game. Thus making the whole gallery into a VN where people don't play the game.
I think there is a chance Starke will try to find the scenes where this feature make sense in the gallery, and add it - But it will likely not happen for all scenes - And it will properly also happen in the very end of the development cycle.
Well that should be players choice really. I don't know how much work it would be to add "extended" scenes to gallery (don't replace existing versions add it as another option to scene selection : Play normal , Play extended , cancel ) but miss use by some players shouldn't stop you from improving the gallery.

As for the concern - maybe for steam version hide the cheat dude till player finishes the game at least once.

Here's a nice read for you:

TL;DR: "Given the opportunity, players will optimize the fun out of a game."

Designer choice. Your laziness is your own issue, deal with it.

Oh I understand that, but you also get the people asking for the 100% save just for that same purpose. People will get there in some form, it's a matter of how. What this shows is that the writing for this is half the leadup and adds to the atmosphere of the scenes. How Ayame gets herself into these situations with her choices is part of the steaminess and this shows it.

Being in software not all design choices are optimal, and some only benefit a few. So even having a few of the choice scenes would be better than nothing.

Ehem maybe you should stop trying to defend devs decision on every turn and actually read what i'm suggesting? Because i wish for nothing more then the game get better when it potentially can without costing more. (smth fan shouldn't be short for fanatic)

As for the citation i fundamentally agree but it is just one angle. Civ being the example - the main goal of the game is optimization aka finding the best strategy. Obviously then any glitch or loop hole that allows player to become super strong is detrimental to the experience - if you know the best strategy the aspect of improving is gone and all is left is execution.
However in case of RPG like games it is quite different as players are more into the experience then optimization. A good example i feel is travel / transportation in open world games. Most of them if not all offer player some form of fast travel. Obviously That is the most optimized way of travel right ? But then some players refuse to use it and developers acknowledge that and offer them other means of traveling - like giving them horse or prepare immersive ways of fast traveling - carriages trains etc.

So back to FI, is gallery detrimental to player experience ? for some yes, there is certainly good amount of people that refuse to play the game and only enjoy the gallery. Some of them would play the game if there was none so:
1) Is not having a gallery an option?
Well then you anger the rest that will still refuse to play the game . Now how about players that play the game and then enjoy gallery ? They certainly could prepare themselves saves for scenes they like to revisit but then that is a) a chore to know which save is for what scene b) saves get often broken between patches. (past 1.0 they are supposed to be working but we get warned " use them at your own risk, bugs might occur from using old saves ). No, gallery is pretty much a must.
2) So then would adding "extended" scenes to gallery mean fewer players play the game?
I think those that don't want to play the game already don't play it and only watch gallery, so it will not have such impact. Meanwhile those that only watch gallery and those just want to revisit the scenes would certainly benefit from extended scenes. Again as long it is not too much trouble to add them.

TL;DR: Let players chose how they want to enjoy the game.

there is not more leaked links anymore :(
Well, to be fair, and with what Zellemate has said, any Patreon subscriber that leaked would be actively hurting themselves. Ten bucks a month for a adult game is already an ask with how much free porn is available. Ten bucks and then hurt the project your are supporting on top of that seems like a questionable decision.

I'm going to say it again because I don't think you understood me, I'm not saying you're wrong, I'm saying it's your opinion! The dev decided to deliver this way because that's his vision, doesn't make it better or worse but you have to respect it even if you prefer something else. He did mention that some scenes he actually wanted to deliver that way but it's a minority. Mind you, 20 out of 240 scenes? Is still a minority.

This, mostly. You're supporting on Patreon/Subscribestar to support the devs, not just get the game. Curiously, the moment new patches stopped being leaked on F95 they stopped being leaked everywhere else. I think it's pretty obvious where those shitty hentai piracy websites are getting their links from.

I do believe that once the devs are in a more comfortable position financially wise the leaks will resume, right now it just seems like the community rallied behind them because no one wants the development to cease.

In February rite?
Yes. Starke said that regardless of how much content it is a patch will roll out in February. We had a brief conversation and he said that unofficially and the key word here is unofficially, they want to release a patch every month. I am not sure the Beastiality will be out in February but if it isn't I expect it early~mid March via their website with their new Fleeting Iris IF project.

I personally don't care for the Beastiality but I am excited for the cosplay convention and absolutely thrilled for the shota patch after that. I've been hyped for that one for ages!

Nonetheless, this last patch solidified Fleeting Iris as my favorite hentai game ever bar none. The Chun Li scenes are everything I could ask for and more. This game is so crazy good that as soon as I finished the patch I got mini-depressed and had to replay it again :LOL:

Well, some scenes would benefit to have a little intro. Not sure about how much work that requires tho. I also don't really know if the cheat npc will still be there in the steam release, i hope not to be honest ( or maybe make it unlockable?), that way you must actually experience the scene in the story before you can see it in the gallery.

If Mai Shiranui scenes are as good as Chun Li scenes..... OOOOOH BOIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII :love:

P.s.: bechelorette party... ;)
