<<Solaria>> VPNs are a thing. Nitter and Coomer are a thing. Asking nicely is a thing, finally.

I stand corrected, fuck this guy.
i got excited when the game release was announced and i ve been checking every day since november 23rd but now I don't give a shit anymore and nobody cares especially the dev, since he got his money already. i ll see ya next year when the game actually releases.
Yeah. Aurelia was one of my top 3 games on this site but after this release bungling I don't think I want to give the dev any money. Unless we get some serious closure once this is over.
Disappointing.
Disappointing.

BREAKING NEWS: Local man on pirate porn website says he is not going to support game developer with money
BREAKING NEWS: Every community consists of "local people".
I know, it can be quite surprising, but when income hit certain low levels, most of devs SUDDENLY start to give a damn about their projects. Or they change they job.
If for some reason you think, your opinion doesn't matter, maybe you should read what "learned helplessness" is.
It is just some fuckers forget the rule about spitting at community. They like to fuck around till they find out eventually.
I believe there's nothing wrong with a stance like this.
There's a whole culture of 'sampling' a product using torrent sites or a site like this and only then you make a decision whether or not to buy it.
As for porn gaming goes, I had only one mistake with the Innocent Witches - I supported them for 4 months, 1$ per month. That was like 4 years ago. If I'd still supporting them given that things aren't going anywhere with this game - you can imagine there are a whole lot of better things to spend your money on.
On the other hand there's a whole culture of making 'promising' projects which turn to be 'sample' games made to earn money fast. Like those Early Access ones on Steam which got abandoned soon after (not all of them of course). Or even better - make a sample game for Patreon and then pretend that you working on it. For years. It's not a big deal for a person to spend some 1-5$ on a game could be released any day.
Imagine you'd spend on every game you liked here on this site and NONE of them will be released. Personally I went through the " wow, I like this game. I think they're close to release a full version of it in a couple years, then I'll buy it for my collection and basically to support these artist" process several times.
Also I believe if someone declares that he won't buy a game, it's not just some angry talk. It is a matter that a developer should've listen to. If they give a damn of course.

If these past few years of gaming taught me anything, then it's only a handful of developers who really care about what their players say.

From the little digging on twitter I did, the last thing the artist posted about the game is " Almost done with this game ", which sounds more like they've finished all the art, rather than abandoning the game. Given the game has a clear endgoal, it seems plausible

Anyone who is trying to frame Walnusstinte's words as abandoning the game instead of having finished a contract is either a) trying to create drama or b) thought that him and Mirthal were like an inseparable team (think Nasu and Takeuchi of Type Moon fame).

Fine, you win you dumb fucks.
There's been more info in the same vein, but I can't find it now, it was most likely in Mirthal's tweet replies if anyone wants to keep digging for whatever reason.

In the replies, regarding the game he's planning, clear implication that he's doing it on his own this time:

I likely won't post in this thread anymore, whatever little discussion that was here has died down and I'm not very interested in spoonfeeding barely literate ESLs. I guess the gist of my thoughts on the situation is as follows:
1. Critical Bliss is an awful publisher, Mirthal swears they've been very helpful with translation and QA but none of these take precedence over actually releasing the fucking game and marketing it, two publisher's duties on which they've massively dropped the ball.
2. If you scroll back a couple dozen pages, you'll see Mirthal's posts from back when he used to post here. You'll see fairly easily from his style of communication that he's quite full of himself. He's not exactly a complete idiot, but clearly he thinks himself way smarter than he actually is. Personally I choose to believe that these delusions of grandeur are what created this whole situation.
3. I don't actually think Mirthal's doing this on purpose, even though it looks sus af. He signed a contract so now he has no choice but to abide by it; if he chooses to do right by his supporters and release the game elsewhere before he does so on Steam, Critical Bliss is gonna fuck him ragged. Again, I don't think it's orchestrated, even though the timing looks very suspicious: I feel like the key problem is Mirthal getting a publisher when he didn't actually need one. He could have done a Steam release on his own, and there would have been fan translations had he asked the community for help. He's just not very smart, that's all.
4. I took a gander at their Discord and there's no signs of riot, on the contrary, the place seems full of clueless paypigs. No, it's not censorship, they're just fucking stupid, one guy over there struggles to find an .apk of the game of version more recent that 21.5(that's from almost 4 years ago lol) and not a single soul(3k online) suggests Kemono or F95.
5. Given how a) Mirthal's got a loyal following; b) there's almost no public interest outside of that; c) his next game is years from now so any and all reputation damage will be forgotten - I don't think this situation is damaging to him in any way whatsoever. Walnuss moving on, however? Minigames are nice, but the art carried this game HARD. Coom games live and die by coom, and without a good artist there's no good coom. I feel like Mirthal's best bet is to transition out of coom games entirely and just do old school CRPGs. He almost assuredly won't do that though, so I'm just gonna go ahead and say that his next game is gonna suck balls, no matter what it looks like.
I've been following this game from early 2020 - almost five years now! I was fully ready to replay the full release one last time, say "phew, what a ride" and promptly forget it, but I guess this is fine too. Hope the game releases by the time it pops up in my memory again. Thanks for the shitshow, Mirthal.

"How much new content can I expect in 1.0
- Ivy’s questline / art has been reworked from the ground up, including new animations.
- Scarlet’s questline has been slightly reworked, with some new art/animations.
- Janet’s questline has been slightly reworked, with some new art/animations.
- Lily’s questline has been slightly reworked, with some new art/animations.
- Main questline, involving the Duchess and Eri has been expanded and finished, including new art/animations.
- New full soundtrack for the game.
- So many bugs and QoL changes I honestly lost count at this point."
I knew that 1.0 was going to be some extra content but this delay for some scenes more it's kinda crazy lmao
My birthdate is the 15th of this month. I wish for this game to be released, and I wish that not only for me, but for everyone here.
typing "SAVEME" into the cheats tab should give you access to it all

mirthal would have to find a new pixel artist who's on the same level of skill as walnuss for his next game for me to get interested, if he just does regular 2D or, may god forgive me for even saying this, daz3d style art i don't think i'd care

At least at one point in Discord Mirthal said next game was gonna be 3d, but this is over 6 months ago.
