Can i have a list of games like this please
Yeah as Black-Wolf alluded to, 'like this' is a very broad term for such a vast and high production-quality game.

But for a similarly vast game set in a fantasy world with a range of fuckable female characters and high production value, I would highly recommend Shuggerlain, by Taifun Riders.

So is this thing delayed or what? There's only 2 weeks left in Q2 when it's supposed to be releasing. Patreon hasn't been updated since February, nothing on Mirthal's Twitter about a release date.

Well if there's is nothing official then I guess the answer is "what".
Have you tried discord, don't know if it's open to everyone or only supporters but if you can join that the best place to ask.

Besides you are 1 week too soon to start getting worried about it, it's only after the release of the Elden Ring Dlc, in one week, that you can become worried.

Doesn't seem reasonable to be getting worried or jumping to thinking this is a scam at this point. The game has been consistently developed since it started and is clearly pretty wrapped up in the most recent version. The release is probably delayed, but most video game releases are. It isn't something to be getting freaked out about given that Q2 isn't even over yet.

I don't think it's a scam, I just think it's going to miss its release window. I don't think that's an unreasonable concern since Mirthal doesn't bother to communicate.

I was wondering if this thread had gotten spicy since I haven't seen any major news about this game in a hot minute and boy were the last few pages a popcorn read. My two cents are that it's silly to call this specific project out for stringing along patrons to milk them dry with an unfinished project. They wouldn't have committed to giving a final release deadline if that was their intention in the first place. And I'd say 6 years is a fairly respectable dev cycle for a small team if they can stick the landing with the final release. As far as the dramatics that unfolded here are concerned, I think Mirthal's initial response was alright. No one likes being accused of essentially swindling people. Think people overreacted by shitting on the effort/length of that post. But then most further responses from him seemed more salt infused and overly defensive. I give the whole thing a 6.5/10 in terms of entertainment.

6 years for a small game like this? No. 1 year would be a stretch. You had japanese devs making several games that have more length and have more scenes in the same time.

It's true, but quality also matters. Japense game usually have terrible writing and censored generic anime art. Add to it MTL and you get unplayable crap.
Also Aurelia is almost completed, so it dosen't really matter how long it took. Just don't play unfinished games and don't support anyone on Patreon. When he gets full game on Steam - buy it.

I'd be surprised if any of these devs you mention:
A) Have single digit contributors to the project
B) Are completely indie, even having a publisher that supports indie devs is a huge deal
C) Don't churn out RPGMaker slop, I don't care how much quantity they output if it's another generic, uninspired nothingburger

At least give several examples of developers that release anything of similar quality to Aurelia yearly. And aren't part of a massive company.

Lots of groundless assumptions on your part I must say. Maybe if you take like really the worst games you'd have something like this. Most Kagura releases easily trump Mirthals game. In fluent English with tons of gameplay mechanics.

Hahah yes it does, oh yes it does. I'm gonna pirate it like most people do.

Sounds like a lot of cope to me, all these asian devs started somewhere. Acerola, Fullflap, Clymenia, Miel, Alicesoft and so on all make better, longer games and need much less time.

Kagura is a publishing company. A major one as far as NSFW games go. Making this point twofold irrelevant, as not only they don't make games directly, but it's a whole team of people.

And that's just dismissing the point really. Most of these are still somewhat generic anime art, which is gonna be faster to make than the kind of stuff Mirthal does. I don't know enough about those developers to say with any certainty, but I don't think all of these are completely independent solo devs either.
Could Aurelia be done faster? Probably, we don't have surveillance over Mirthal's life to know exactly though. There are devs that do less in more time.
Another thing about japanese games is that for the most part, unlike the subscription models they are only paid for at release. There are several conclusions that could be made from that, but I ain't a market analyst to say anything with confidence here.
