Absolutely love this game so far. There is so much content already in the game, which is amazing. I just wish the progression was more simplified since the game doesn't really explain in detail how to access different routes or unlock new interactions. It feels like i'm looking at the guide longer than i am playing the game, if that makes any sense.

Glad you liked the experience so far, I will take your critique on to Starke and rest of the team :coffee:
I'm also sorry you used more time watching the guide then playing the game, I did try to make the guide to help new players since this game is MASSIVE and new players easily get lost in it.
- The guide is not an official walkthrough, and I hope when the team have made one it will be better then the current flowchart.
- I also do think Starke will try to help the player a bit in future version of the game when a route will split to get some information on to the player before it happens.(I talked to him about this a few times and this is something he is considering later on)

Anyway HF continuing playing!

Does anyone know any news about the game update or any of the DLC?
Next Friday(28) for summer patch. Shota DLC after!

I don't know if this might be a spam question at this point (sorry if so), but what is the estimation for full conclusion of this game?
I'm waiting for it first before start playing the game, and the anticipation is very high.

Everything involving Ayame (the MC) is technically finished all the routes have been finished all with endings.

The world story is still ongoing as I understand and is going to be supplemented in another game that's supposedly coming out this year involving 2 characters that were side/cameo characters from this game .

Is the content for the main game finished after that one with only IF updates or is there more to come for fleeting iris aswell?
Hard for me to say precisely, Starke keeps saying summer patch + Shota patch is the last patch.
- But he does also say he want to go back at some point to do some of the incentive rewards for the game.
- However he have never said when, so take that with a grain of salt!

Ingame it says that Robert and Ayame get married in 60 days. Is there a time limit that ends the game without you progressing in any route, or at least completing a route? I see ingame interactions where you can advance time and i'm worried that i might accidentally skip content.
There is no time limit, the story (or days if you will) only progresses by doing the key events in a main route.

In that case, wasn´t this thread supposed to be labeled as "completed"?

I suppose because it was/still is getting updates, this upcoming one is technically the last batch because the last couple of patches have been for optional scenes outside of the main routes, essentially in the free roam sections which were kept for after the main stuff had been done.

Doesn't matter if the 'main route' is or isn't finished. If all games that have 1 'route' completed would get labeled finished, then any and all V1's would by default be 'Completed' games (which is very often not the case).

Case in point, this game, while reaching a v1 is still very much in development (and has been for quite some time since reaching a V1 state). Other games have also completed 1 mainline story questline while keeping it as v0.xx, so those would then also be complete, which is even more untrue.

Basically ... a game is completed when the DEV labels/announces it as such. It generally means no more updates are coming and no active development is being done on the game anymore. Maybe some 'bugfixes', but generally a completed game is just that ... DONE.

Practically it means it's safe for me to actually play the game. :sneaky:

Unfortunately that doesn't work. If you only consider games with "completed" as completed then you will be missing out on games. There are games that are story and feature complete yet do not have completed tag because the devs "maybe" will return to them at some point.
I believe that once continuous development of the game cases and devs move on to next one, the game should get one of the tags : completed , on hold or abandoned. Abandoned is obvious, completed if upcoming content will be like sprinkles on the cupcake, on hold if they couldn't complete the game for whatever reason and have definite plans to do so.

After the event, when Ayame allows her husband to choose a place to go, they go to a massage parlor and at the exit after meeting with someone from an advertising agency, the screen turns black and all that is available is the game menu button.... what to do? what is the reason ?

The delays were mostly due to expansions of the summer patch and health issues across the team added to their new "we won't crunch time anymore" working 12+ hours a day 6 days a week mentality which honestly they adopted too late in my opinion considering how ungrateful most people that give them shit and yet don't even support them are.

Most of the supporters don't mind because experience tells us that:

1) Whatever they release, as usual will be better than anything else out there.
2) It will have more content in one patch than most full games out there.
3) We receive news from the developer on a regular basis on Discord and there's a 1~2 hour podcast almost every week.
4) We're constantly being updated with the state of development and receive new high quality CG's almost every week.
5) They are working on 3 games at the same time, technically 4 because the shota patch will have nothing to do with the core of Fleeting Iris.

Even if you disregard all of the above:

TL;DR: Starke said in the last podcast that the summer/final Fleeting Iris patch would come out soon and then they would 100% work on the Shota patch which will come out whenever it has to come out.
Hard for me to say precisely, Starke keeps saying summer patch + Shota patch is the last patch.
- But he does also say he want to go back at some point to do some of the incentive rewards for the game.
- However he have never said when, so take that with a grain of salt!
O, and I thought that this is the Final version.
The game is just great and the fact that the game will have more scenes is good news :).
The longer this game is the better and the more scenes the better.

I will say my personal opinion (This is not an insult to the game or the artist) just a statement of my opinion. :)

Personally, I really like the game (Alanya Chronicles: Fleeting Iris) from [Heaven Studios]. In all plans, I like this game. Well-drawn characters, interestingly staged and exciting scenes and interesting text, it's nice to read the text and art complement each other well. (And this is very important for the game. :) )

I haven't played a new game, so maybe when I play a new game, the opinion will be better :)
But still the Art in the new game looks different and so not so exciting compared to (Alanya Chronicles: Fleeting Iris)
Personally, I prefer the artist's style and characters in (Alanya Chronicles: Fleeting Iris)

New game from [Heaven Studios]

The female characters look good !

And here are some frames from (Alanya Chronicles: Fleeting Iris) I took the footage from Twitter

Just gorgeous shots are interesting and intriguing. Of course, I compared the frames not quite suitable
(Since one is just characters and the others are future scenes for the game :))

But even if you take an unfinished frame

The style of the game looks just amazing.

The new game from [Heaven Studios], although it has changed the style, I hope the game will be as interesting as (Alensya Chronicles: Fleeting Iris) !

But most of all I hope that [Heaven Studios] will still have games similar in style as (Alensya Chronicles: Fleeting Iris) After all, the style that is in (Alensya Chronicles: Fleeting Iris) is simply gorgeous. I hope that in the future [Heaven Studios] will still have similar games.

That's not the same team, Heaven Studios now has two CG teams, the team that worked on Alansya Chronicles will not work on Journey Abroad, they will work on a game called Blood Lust. They are going to work on two games at the same time because right now the CG team is delaying the releases a lot so the writing/coding team can work on two projects.
