So instead of finishing remake and releasing it, dev cut it in parts to drop it every 2 weeks because of f95 promotional system on "latest games" (has to be 2 weeks break before game update can appear on spotlight again) and to blueball people into giving him money. Does that surprise anyone?
He already break his promise to stop payment until remaster would be complete, so it is no wonder.

From what I know from time I was still platinum subscriber and leaks after that, there would be more characters, more Aki, which makes me even less willing to pay him for it. I prefer there would be more focus on Ayumi and less side characters.

Eh, the first part of the remake was pretty good. For I now I believe that all the changes will be for the best. The original was pretty sparse on the details and its world felt a bit empty sometimes. So I am glad that there will be more focus given to it.

and then still delays it and doesnt quite make the 2 week deadline

which is why i was giving him such a hard time. i like the updates but im sick of the silliness with the constant promises and then just NEVER meeting a SINGLE promise or deadline lol

Thats most development cycles. I rather them slowly churn things out than completely forget about its existence. Like so many other projects.

Wow, my condolences to those who actually paid for this. By the way, at this point, the 3D effect looks horrendous. I guess it might work well for some CG, but most of the time, it just makes the game feel sloppy.

I hope that when the full remaster/remake is released, the author will also release chapter updates every two weeks :HideThePain:

the amount of content in this 2-week update is very small. it is essentially one scene - the scene with ari in the coffee shop. there are some flashback interstitials, but those are mostly 1 frame images

as for the dialogue... i understand why it took 2 weeks to write all that. it felt like it took 2 weeks to read it. it was sooooooooo dragged out for this update. was tori feeling bad about the amount of content, so he padded it? that's what it seems like.

but the biggest problem is the same as always: the pace of development is just too slow to charge people $15 a month imo. at this rate, it will be MANY MONTHS before we are caught up to the pre-remaster. essentially 1 new dialogue-only scene after 2 weeks is crazy slow... especially since the dev said all this art was already complete, AND this update didn't have to do any major route-splitting...

For some reason it is not implemented, from the first preview you cannot access the gallery even if you finish the Chapter.

very unlikely, on the other hand I can see where the dev come out after the remaster is done and says he want to add back the animation, so he needs 3 more months before starting act 2, and as always after 3 months he still can't finish it and says he need 1 extra month to work on animation, finally after 1 additional month he released act 1 remaster with animation, after that he need 1-2 months to do act 2 part 1, but again after 1-2 months he come out and says he need 1 more month because act 2 was originaly planned to not have animation, but because he already added back animation for act 1 he wanted to add animation for act 2 too, so he needed additional 1 month before act 1 part 1 was released.

Well, that was quick - leaked in under 12 hours! :HideThePain:

Just wanted to drop some context here:

About the Release:
• Yes, this is a two-week update (though not exactly to the minute - I'm solo dev, not a robot, file a complaint with HR :LOL: )
• Nearly 10,000 words of new scenes + dozens of new CGs - but be aware it's a character development update
• Definitely an intense dev pace (that was nearly 1k words per day!) - not sustainable long-term, but wanted to keep momentum and finish this arc

Story Stuff:
• Focus was on wrapping up Ari's intro arc with the new changes
• Planted some seeds in MC's head for near future fun
• Next scenes won't have flashbacks, so should feel more straightforward
• Remember: This is a remake, not a remaster - being rewritten from scratch - the goal was to flesh out the story, this is not a quick jerk-off game, read the intro disclaimer pls

Technical Bits:
• 3D effects need some polish, agreed, it's planned
• Working on making them toggleable in a future update
• You'll be able to choose based on preference/hardware
• But personally, I still love them, just needs love and time to get better

Super-fast leaks like this hurt development (as many devs here have mentioned) so I won't go there again. If you're enjoying the game, consider supporting it - not all support is financial!

Polished 0.5.28 likely released tomorrow, 0.5.29 in 2 weeks!
