As usual I pity the people who give him money each month. Correct me if I'm wrong but is this update just a few Elena scenes and one choice for Kate?

Anyone who thinks it's bug free and perfectly balanced with consistent story telling raise their hands!


But honestly, I am not sure about how bad the lead dev thinks the game is.
It's clear (at least to me) however, that it was only made with a basic idea and no big master plan, content being based on polls is the worst that you can do for story telling.
Jokes about development time won't end anytime soon. But I am looking forward to see what he is going to change. I just hope it's not being transformed into a pure VN and remains a sandbox style game.
After playing from start to end of current content (v0.100) I have the feeling that the game tends toward becoming a kinetic novel.
There are a few decisions, but most scenes trigger automatically depending on time and location and in the recent content there are no more player interactions like look or grope compared to the start of the story ... if the writer felt to spank an ass, the mc spanks that ass and the player can just watch ... same for all those scenes where mc has his dick out and masturbates next to the girls ... it's just kinetic events.

... and kinetic novels do not need balancing ...

Getting an error when I try to open it via renpy launcher on mac (usually can use that to convert PC renpy files to mac). Any ideas?:


Code:
I'm sorry, but errors were detected in your script. Please correct the
errors listed below, and try again.


File "game/scripts/Free Roams/Mall/Free Roam Mall 1.rpy", line 83: unexpected EOF while parsing
    current_background = "images/Free Roams/Mall/bg Mall photo.webp"\

Same. Any fix for this?

I am also confused like most of you about this remaster. Usually when devs start doing this it does not end well, and they do it when they are stuck and do not know what to do with the game. What is the dev remastering here? All we need are new updates, with less bugs than usual, and for the dev to do something with the story. Seems like he is running in circles with that.

It is obvious that the developer started working on the project without having a ready plot, at least in the most general outline, except for the initial episodes. Some storylines have disappeared into obscurity. For example, how many people will remember that MC had to continue his education (can't remember where - college or university). It is unclear where Alexandra's sister and her strange daughter went, and it was from her that we learned that MC was a talented photographer before the accident. A strange couple that MC encountered during his first visit to the mall - clearly someone from his former life. And there are too many sagging storylines like this. The main plot hasn't progressed for about a year now. I.e. it's obvious that we're facing a classic case of “writer's block”.

"He" is a "team of devs", hired a couple of other guys and is not as involved as he used to. But it didn't go as he expected. You'll find his full statement a few pages earlier.

And I agree to everything Enot said in the post before. SA didn't have much of a plan for this game, even added patreons what sort of content they want ...

See on the OP that this game is officially going on until 2020... There's too much teasing for my own taste. You have a character like Alexandra and in all this time there's only a couple of lewd scenes with her (very hot indeed, must say). How much time should supporters (and us) wait until a real sex scene with her? Another four years, perhaps? Hope this remaster cut down a little with all that teasing betting for a more explicit approach...

Well, if it leads to more Elena scenes (and yes, I know aobut the devs previous project), then I'm game :)

Once it's finished and available on a DRM free platform, I'll buy it, but not before. So I don't care how long it takes.
