As far as I noticed, there is practically not a single completed high-quality game. Apparently the whole thing is precisely to delay the development and receive donates.

I thought he divided the content for him to make updates about every 2 weeks

Of course - then that wouldn't be a 1-to-1 marker of content. But we've seen this difference far more often used as a defensive rationalization than a genuine difference in gameplay which can't be compared.

The goal was never a 1-to-1 replica. First 2 days were similar, but the last update should make it obvious we're in completely new territory now.

this update finally moved things a bit, and i'm glad we can choose what type of sharing we want (if it will influence future scene), but yeah it'll soon be 2 years and we're still at the party in their house.. at the start it was an update every 2 week and that's why it was so good but now to wait every 2-3 month is a bit much, hope the dev can speed things up a bit + i'm kinda lost with all the different paths, would be nice to get a walkthrough

Saw a couple of comments about the 2 weeks thing.

tl;dr: that was only possible because I had a backlog of content from last year. Now that we're in new territory, that pace is impossible to maintain while keeping quality up.

This game didn't need any re-work, yet the latest update was primarily a "truth or dare" update. Not only is this lazy writing, it's stuff that minors do, not adults. There is no doubt that the developer is milking this game for all it's worth. There was nothing wrong with the game, and it was better, before the re-work. This is becoming a consistent trend, and there's no wonder why subscribers are dropping across the board. Americans have been suffering from shrinkflation. Everything is worse and more expensive. People can see they're being played here.

Remake is at least TWICE as popular as the OG... vocal pessimism here doesn't reflect opinions elsewhere. I still take criticism seriously (like cutting down walls of text based on feedback!), but I won't scrap the remake because a minority dislikes it.

Truth or dare being 'for minors' says more about you than the game. Adults can still have fun, believe it or not...

FMC was shy to take off her bra for so long, despite the fact that the day before she was running naked, and two days before she was shaking her tits on the beach? I like the game, but the drama is very excessive. Maybe these games take so long to make that the authors themselves forget the plot?

I get this one. I will try to explain the reasoning.

For many people, beach exposure in a secluded spot ≠ getting naked in front of friends. A lot of couple experiment with that without crossing any sort of lines.

The naked prank was more like mooning someone.

This scene officially breaks the 'I don't mind if friends see me naked' barrier, which is huge for some people.

That said, I accept it varies culturally. Topless is normal in some parts of the world after all.

Don't get me wrong, I like the game, but waiting a couple of years to play it calmly will be hard (if you replay everything every time a new episode appears, then the impressions will not be complete, I think you understand what I mean)
In this regard, two questions:
1) How long do you suppose the development will last until the final release?
2) Is there an old version with a completed plot?

Thanks in advance for your answers. Good luck with your work.

hey man, didn't know it was because of a backlog so mea culpa but do you plan on doing a walkthrough for players or something that can help which route to go?

well bro i dont think that is necessary, all choices are pretty obvious xd

not really because there is so much choice and idk what influence what in the end, there is 4 path if i'm not mistaken and it's possible the dev adds more so a walkthrough would be nice to know what we missed

Why does the author add this grainy filter? This spoils the improved image quality . Is he doing this so that AI animations don't stand out in comparison to images? Why do we even need animations of non-sex scenes? The images in this filter look like on a New Year's card.

its actually 2 routes if im not wrong, submissive and dominant, and you can see which one you are taking at the end of each day, also, just by reading each choice you can guess which way it is imo

This is going to sound a little arrogant but as a man who considers himself an expert on NTS I consider this one of the best games of the genre. I'm very picky about what NTS I actually enjoy and this is right up there.

It's not about arrogance nor being a so called "expert" at a genre.
It's "always" about the taste of different people more so in the case of NTS genre. Fro example There's not much difference you can make in the harem genre, it's a self explanatory tag. And same for Netorare which is mostly mystery focused but there's so many ways to do NTS that one man's treasure might be another man's trash and vice versa.

Choices will determine if MC shares Ayumi with Terrace or Ari...
So...
TQ w/Terrace
TQ w/Ari
SP w/Terrace
SP w/Ari
There's some variation within each of those, too; so one can fine tune the "feel" of the scene a bit.
