Concerning Edward I have a small bone to pick, but first I would like to congratulate the dev for some of the most realistic construction work I have seen in AVN to this point. So let's get into it.

First of, he starts his day at the right time. good start. but then when he comes back, he sais this:

Normally you don't mix those two kind of works, residential and commercial or heavy residential depending on the type of skyscraper the project is. And you would have your whole day in one place usually. And finishing a house can mean a lot of things depending on his tasks. Anyways, the only way that he would do two jobs like that on the same day is if he works for a labor rental compagnie. There is also an other problem with working on a skyscraper starting midday. On bigger project, where I live, you have to participate in what we call a welcome meeting before you even set foot on the jobsite. Those meetings are usually at the start of the day and if you miss it you will be turned around and sent back home. So there is no way he would start there past 7h00 in the morning.

But then something worst happen:

Ok that would not happen like this. Skyscrapers need a lot of concrete, especially the footings, pilar bases or pin caps. In one day you can easily pour in the hundreds of cubic meter of concrete. ( one cubic meter is roughly equivalent to one cubic verge.) You would not mix that by hand. If only because the concrete at this stage, all stage really, need a specific composition. Also it is usually caried from an of site concrete plant by truck. And the typical truck can only carry up to 8 cubic meter or for a semi 12 meter. So imagine trying to mix concrete by hand for let's say only a hundred cubic meter that a technician will then evaluate to document the composition and proprieties.... yhea not happening. I can see three common scenario in which he would enter in contact with concrete powder. the destruction of an over pour of concrete with a jackhammer or kango, the mixing of cement for concrete finissions or the mixing of mortar for block divisions. The later, the more likely. The task involve you using a tumble mixer with a overhanging silo from which you pour ciment and mix with water. Depending on the age of machinery and experience of the worker a lot of dust can get airborne.

You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.

Here is the sad and I will also comment on the part about working with no mask or gloves.

He does not have long to live. We don't see him with a cigarette so those might be sings of the early stages of silicosis. Especially if his boss did not provide him with the appropriate protection equipment. If he was on a skyscraper jobsite the responsable person for safety and health would have stopped him. Also, at least here, safety mesures have been reenforced to prevent the professional disease. Any job you do in which you might be in contact with silica necessitate more than one prevention mesure. For example piercing a small hole ti fix a screw in concrete necessitate a mask, either of a water source during the piercing or a HEPA vacuum and a perimeter to prevent other workers to be near you while you work. Even something as simple as brooming a floor is complicated if the dust and dirt might contain silica. You need to close of the entire floor wear a mask and either wet the floor to prevent the dust from lifting in the air or wear an hazmat suit. This disease is serious. Some of the mesures implemented look draconian and overexaggerated but they are new. Depending on the form of the disease he might have as low as a year to live. A classic example of how pernicious a pulmonary disease like that can be is an asbestos mine worker coming home and his wife contracting the disease while putting his closes in the washing machine and dying from it.

Thats it im not playimg anymore! its this simple lack of attention to detail they should have just put a yoga, shopping and gym scene in...

I don't follow you, are you trying to be sarcastic? I actually find that the attention to details about the father's job is above average for a VN. The dev might have taken from the experience of a relative or something similar. Time might have past between what they convey in their story and what the norms and usual practices are today. I wrote that because I got excited for a relatable experience and thank the dev for it. For me what is happening to him is obvious, but it might not be for someone else. Sharing that might help others envision where the story can go.

If you are trying to put words in my mouth you are failing miserably. It is possible to do a good shoping scene, but I find that they are usually pretty badly written. I also find that yoga scenes when using the same assets as everyone can be overdone and oversexualized all the while not mentioning once that the characters are continuing to do exercises afterward unless it is in a sandbox. But! Even those scenes take time to make and require other resources from the devs. If it does not come out above average I'm not going to piss on them for trying their hand on a trope that if done well can be fun to read. And I have read some example of those scenes done above average.

Wasn't coding the only thing left to be done and he was already doing that last month.. and he still isn't even 100% sure it will be done THIS month.. :KEK:
Yes, last month he said, that, it was the coding that was delaying the update as he learning at the same time on how to code, so fingers crossed anyway

There were no problems with programming before
From what I understand from all the devs posts is that, one path alone was causing issues, Rose's dad path was the issue months ago, as the dev is learning coding at the same time as making the game, (which is what most, if not all, dev actually do on their first game) making multiple paths is causing the dev that is still learning code problems

But, from my understanding in the last week, the new update is nearly ready, but the dev will update his patreon with more details when he knows the game is ready

Not true actually. DA has been struggling with coding since the very early stages of development. He's delayed several earlier versions because of this, so it's not the first time such a problem has occurred.

Some discord info for ya'll !




Random discord user question

Is the game abaondened ?

No, and it will never be. I'm not planning on abandoning anything. As long as it's a one-person show, that's how slow the development is going to be.

Random discord user question

I asked because it seemed abandoned, no new updates in a very long time. Thank you for the clarification!

Deus Actum05/30/2024 9:21 PM
Completely understandable. I typically don't post updates on SS/Patreon unless there's significant progress to report. This has been my approach from the beginning, so if you're new, it's totally normal to be concerned.



Yup there is what we are at atm.

Yea it might not be abandoned but will it ever be completed? No chance, especially with how slow updates are when he's focused on the game, can you image how how slow updates are gonna be when he starts doing the comics..

I would like to say that I am surprised but no, it was seen at leagues of distance that this would happen, in short, another game with potential lesbians to the hole.

It's hard to say. Initially I didn't understand who this game was aimed at, apparently lesbian (god forgive them) crap, because there were a few interesting moments with men, further the game stalled. There are very few patrons, no profit. Whether it's abandoned or not, we'll wait for news. I'm betting one cent that this is the end.

Its suprising to see someone against lesbians on a porn games site but ok.
I was asking cause I shelve games until they are either done or abandoned...or forget about them,point being I have no clue what is going on here and if the guy will continue this,I have no issue with lesbian games,it actually good since no bad model men with mutated cocks that wouldn't be able to carry due to weight alone and many other problems,its more enjoyable to see woman on woman than another man with a woman.

Im gonna take another moment from my long lists of wins to say that I told you so y'all! Games especially when it comes to porn games aimed at horny dudes who dont know whats good for them should only be payed for when they are COMPLETED,not sooner,there is probably even an industry by this point aimed at scamming the easy to fool horny bois.
