Now, to answer the question: WHY SO LITTLE CONTENT?!
These past two months have been incredibly exhausting...

Between work and studies, I also faced burnout.

On top of that, I spent an entire week just sitting there, wondering why everything I do turns out so badly (typical whining, I know).

I sincerely apologize for that...

Another reason is that the next arc I’ve planned turns out to be much larger than I initially thought.

And I’m afraid that if I started working on it now, I’d only be able to finish it by early summer at best – and that’s just too long of a content drought.

So, here we are.

As for quality:
Previously, I was confident in my renders but not so much in my writing and storytelling.

Now, this update has been heavily focused on those aspects, and I can confidently say that I’ve improved a lot.

If before, I rated my dialogues at 3/10, now I’d say they’re a solid 6-7/10 (there’s still room to grow, of course, but not everything happens overnight).

And yes, the Codex…
It’ll have to wait a bit longer. I’ll try to get it done before the public release, but I can’t make any promises.

There’s just too much information to include, and besides that, I need to figure out how to format it properly.

However, I’ll at least drop a galaxy map in the Discord later, so you have a better understanding of what’s actually going on. I think that will be helpful.

Alright, I talked about burnout, delays… what else? Oh, right, animations!
Please don’t be mad, but there are very, very few animations in this update.

The reason is their quality—since I do all this work alone and not on a full-time basis, I physically couldn’t make more within this timeframe.

That’s all for now! Love you all, hugs, and see you soon!

Yours friendly neighborhood dev,

NoGlory

Dude's in his 40s, he's not that old

He's only 41 years old! A man in the prime of life!

And seriously, the very idea of an avn where you play as a middle-aged man should at least sound extraordinary. When in others, most of the time you're playing students.

I have nothing against it, because most of the audience is students, but what about older men? Why are they neglected?!

(There was supposed to be a second part where I explain in more detail what's going on, but I'd rather leave it out).

When you're not an 18yo dude anymore, playing 18yo horny high schoolers/freshmen characters gets old fast. I'm glad you opted for a different take on the MC!

Prime of his life? He's still wet behind the ears! Me?

 

[LoGyMW]

I mean, i don't mind it, its just unusual to me as this is literally the first VN where i play as an older dude. Im 37 so im nearly there myself haha

Ok so i just finished CH1 and i think the game is overall pretty good.
Got a bit confused by that ending with seemingly multiple Miriel's but that is a mystery for the future so i don't mind it.

I will say however that the prologue part was maybe a bit too long and boring, as it feels like a whole different game. Honestly if i didn't push myself through it i would have dropped the game right then and there. Personally would have prefered if the game started on say right where we see Anya about to be raped or whatever as after that scene we are quickly introduced to this mysterious group apearing to kill the bad guys, that would give the player the sense that there is more to this game than what its current intro with Lora and MC filiming a video and later the scene with soldiers provides IMO, and then later those scenes could be shown in flashbacks like some others were, i think it would flow better.

But other than that, a really interesting story and a game with great potential for sure. Keep up the good work

Lovely, thanks for the feedback.

And about prologue, and 0.1.... Let's just say that in 0.2, I tried to speed up the pace of the prologue and 0.1 to make things go much faster, for yes. And cause I got a lot of feedback about that, saying that there was too boring and too much water
