just like the last update, this one is exactly 1 scene long. it's just the pool/photography scene and nothing else. maybe 10 minutes of gameplay, most of which is dialogue that feels intentionally verbose and stretched out

reminder: the dev claimed all the renders for the entire remake are already done, so the only work should be writing and the paper dolls in renpy... and 90% of the scenes are the same so far, so how much dialogue actually needs to be rewritten?

more importantly... what the actual fuck was this guy doing for 8 months while collecting patreon money lol

Kind of sad to see this work that for me was the best game made so far, and is now becaming a matter of joke. We don't want to allocate free hate, but it's impossible to defend tori after this last version.

0.5.27 lasted 2 days, 0.5.28 a morning, and 0.5.29 an hour in game time, even at a slow pace, I finished in 20 min. Waiting 2 weeks for 20min (15 of dialogues and 5 of action) is almost as if I knew we would be disappointed at the end, especially with a much-desired scene just ahead.

I literally don't know what constructive criticism we should give to tori after this update...

0.5.29 is out! :coffee:

This is part of the bi-weekly schedule focused on frequent updates rather than longer waits. Each release delivers 8-10k words of content, and while the story follows a similar structure, it's a complete rewrite from scratch. Some scenes have dramatically different dialogue even when sharing similar CGs.

If you prefer longer updates I suggest you wait it out.

Note: I've had to ignore some users who consistently post non-constructive comments or spread misinformation. I won't engage with that. If you're unhappy with anything please feel free to message me directly for a refund rather than polluting the thread - I'd rather you be happier with your investment of time and money somewhere else. If you are still here after so many weeks I can only assume you still enjoy the game despite the comments.

Users who continue to derail threads with the same arguments will be added to ignore list automatically
- there was enough discussion on this in the last 20 pages. Patreon has been updated every 2 weeks regularly for over a year. Transition to full remake was hard but well documented there. Can't change the past but won't engage with hate. This is the direction of the game now.


Now, release notes for 0.5.29:


"You could say this update is ASStronomically good"

Whew... another two weeks flew by in a flash! This one felt even shorter since quite a bit of time went into implementing those performance improvements from v2 of the last release. But hey, progress is progress!


What's New:

• ~9,000 words of content (goes through lunch + early afternoon)

• Introduction of KAI! (A new character who'll become more important as the story progresses but you can get a glimpse of his personality)

• Improved and fixed many older CGs (still working on more improvements!)

About This Release: For the OG fans - I'm very close to that certain spicy scene you're thinking of! While it's partially done, I wanted to keep to our schedule rather than delay for it. Soon™️

Other Notes:

• There's a longer black screen sequence at the start that needs more CGs - this will be addressed in a future update

• Still working on UI features like gallery (these take significant dev time away from content, so trying to find the right balance)

• More CG improvements coming - it's an ongoing process!

As always, this is an early preview - might do some polish passes over the next few days if needed.

I don't get why you people are continuing to write the same thing over and over. It has been obvious from the moment Torimiata started posting remake updates that the remake is ongoing and nothing else apart from what is being released is done. For the two weeks of work this is more than good enough.

That's just how it is, you either dislike the dev's shady (and tbh somewhat scummy) behaviour from last year and leave or stay here and enjoy what is released. Stop polluting the thread.

I believe Tori mentioned that he could include the scene if allowed to delay for two days. He could also do bigger chunks in future updates if allowed to delay 1-3 days but the majority of plat supporters said they'd rather stick to the schedule no matter if there is only 10 min of content. So honestly this amount of content is fine tbh. Usually other games update every month and a half to two months. Which this game would update 3-4 times in that period. So if you picture 3 to 4 times what was in this update thats about a good sized update from other games.

As long as schedule is maintained the amount of content doesn't matter. You can always wait an extra couple weeks or a month and you'll have more to play vs. being in the dark for months at a time not knowing how much progress is being made. Think of these releases as essentially Tori letting you demo as he chugs along instead of just seeing a patreon post progress bar.

I see the usual comments about update size, so I'll just say the usual:
The bi-weekly schedule focuses on frequent updates rather than longer waits. Each release delivers 8-10k words of content, and while the story follows a similar structure, it's a complete rewrite from scratch. Some scenes have dramatically different dialogue even when sharing similar CGs.

These past two weeks weren't just about new content either - I've also improved earlier scenes and now introduced Kai, a new character that required custom model training (no existing LoRAs here - everything's built from the ground up).

I'm working hard to deliver content at this pace as part time solo dev. If you find this approach doesn't meet your expectations, please message me for a refund - I'd rather you be happy with your investment and use it somewhere else.


Now, release notes for 0.5.29:

OMG bruh new character ? who the hell wants that exactly ? you remade the same game and yes it is the same pretty much just because you don't have any more ideas or because you don't want people to stop playing after first real sex scene not to mention the 8 MONTHS gap that didn't bring any update and now were back to 0-5-29 more like 0-0-29.

Bruh, I was right not take subscription 2 weeks ago, and looks like it is meanless even now). Complete lose trust for dev. I will be back only when remake would be over and I have feeling that I get my bachelor grade at this summer faster than remake will be over.

Not to mention introducing new characters when we lack content even with FMC. I suggest everyone just switch to other projects. This one is pretty much doomed and abandoned right know. Also dev is constantly lying and not keep any of his promises: he constantly lie about remake, lie about there would be no paid subscription until remake would be done and I believe he most likely will took another 3-5 months after remake would be done just to make 0.6.0 update. I wouldn't be surprised if he starts a new remake. It is possible that 0.6.0 will be released only by the next anniversary of the project.

Have a good day, everyone.

I don't see this on your patreon at all. Just 0.5.28 v3
Edit: Didn't realize I wasn't a platinum patron, whoops.

i really don't understand how people can be that dumb. you all know tori need 2/3 month to do big real updates.

Then why the fuck are you expecting a lot of story chunk in 2 weeks? it's kid math ffs.
because he lied for months about the full remake being "almost done" and is now slowly creating it piece by piece. the hope was that these 2 week releases would've just been him polishing what was already mostly done, but it's clear he was just totally lying about what was complete

if u want to be part of the dev plan, join and discuss this with the supporters. to be here crying like babies will not help anyone. u are just annoying.
this is a decision Tori made. I have played the original and now the 2 updates and I don't find it bad at all.
and I find the 2-week release plan ok. its like we are continuously following the dev instead of getting a release every 3-4 months.
if u are annoyed just go fap to something else. stop this BS. I want to read about the game not about your BS.
