Finished? Like, how? I mean, unless this update added a metric fuck-ton of new content (which would be great, but I kinda doubt it), how is this anything but an abrupt and unsatisfying cliffhanger?

Plus, hadn't this basically devolved into a minigame collection anyways? Fishing, bartending, mine raiding, dungeon delving. For well over a year now the updates have been padding and navel-gazing. Progression for the princesses basically hit a wall and stopped quite some time ago. I feel like anything other than a complete overhaul and rebalance of the entire experience into a more smoothly flowing narrative progression is just going to the suffer from the 'Duke Nukem Forever' effect; in that the game has been in development too long and will never be able to justify or live up to expectations give that timeframe (over 6.5 years now, if this thread is anything to go by).

I'd love to be proven wrong here, but I'm a bit too cynical to be hopeful at this point.
I plan on playing through the game, but I share your concerns. The game file size appears to be too small to have added so many new scenes and questlines to finish out the story. So far, it looks like the 1.0 just means Steam release, and coincidentally, a complete rework...

I like the late 80's early 90's vibe. Demo, right? I'll see the complete version, if ever.

I could load one of my saves from the previous version as a New Game+ function, where I got to keep my levels, most of my inventory(so things like potions, alchemy ingredients etc but minus Orsos wine, quest items and equipables), gold and epox. And since I had cheated thoroughly in that save I got pretty much everything I need to quickplay the story. :)

Also, HP and MP can be searched for in Cheat Engine as Double value and frozen, perfect for example for the gemstone tower defense minigame.

LMAOOOOOO, this is the type of aggression I like to see. Yeah, I can't disagree with anything being said here. It REALLY seems like he doesn't want to finish the game because if he does finish it he can't keep coasting off the patreon subs, or else he'd have to make a new game, and after so many years working on this one and taking it easy, he doesn't want to risk the new game not being as popular
The Patreon that the creator couldn't be bothered to update more than twice a year because they believed all the money was in a Steam release, gonna laugh if they only end up with 56 sales.

Sounds like you have old/corrupted save. Delete and try again.

Not sure if serious. I would be shocked if this did not sell well, so many hand drawn adult games are complete garbage. This stands out along with the other few that are not.

Would love to buy this on Steam, but being partially disabled, I don't really do Quick Time Events or real-time combat. Can these be avoided? :unsure:
I don't think there are any accessibility settings, but you could do it in a round about way until we figure out the new cheat slots reel. Cheat your brains out with gold, potions and such in Aurelia 0.31 and save(might need to reach a point in story?), get the 1.0 version posted here or the Itch.io one, and load the save for new game plus. At the end of the day the mini games are only there for if you can't buy ingredients and items later on in the game, and such cheating gold is the only one you need to comfortably skip all mini games. The only one I think might not be skip-able is
