Eh... I mean, part of me wants to say "anything is better than nothing," but this actually concerns me a little. Does anyone know whether the "rework" of scenes like this one are supposed to mean "improved and expanded" or simply "changed"? In other words, do we know whether Bones intends to keep a full-body view of Lucile before, after or as an alternative to this view, or if his vision is that from now on we just get Lucile's ass and back?
Because if the "reworks" are going to be fundamental changes like that - by which I mean changes that replace scenes with something else entirely rather than attempting to improve existing scenes - it might get to the point where certain people will genuinely prefer older versions over the new ones. I know that I'd much rather have a full-body view of Lucile's naked body than something like this.

I think (i hope actually) it's a "State" thing just like Martha.
But i agree, if it's a plain replacement it could mean no more new scenes just pointless reworks. The other tease with the dancing is probably a key peep animation as well though so probably a real improvement (i'm still hoping).

People need to overcome their FOMO and kick these badly developed or abandoned games to the curb. Even I need to do that too. One day I shall sit down and delete a lot of games from my library, so that I can finally forget them. I think, I was only attracted to this game for the combination of isolated manor, spooky and incest. I don't like the bestiality stuff. If there is another game which starts with a similar setting and satisfies my interest, I shall totally forget about this game.

I think that would be preferable and perhaps even probable, certainly, though I struggle to see how this behavior would be compatible with her character and just generally make sense.
For starters, even in her playful state - which was my favorite for Lucile when I played anyway - Lucile still only has very limited understanding of sex and arousal. I don't think we see her willfully try to arouse the player character at any other time, nor do we have any indication she is even aware of what would constitute something being sexy in the first place. To her, sex is just a game about trying to make her brother cum. Showing her ass to the player character would certainly qualify as being "playful," but would conflict with what we see of her otherwise.
Secondly, assuming there is some explanation as to why she knows the player character would react to this behavior, it would require her to know that the player character is even peeking in the first place... that, or she is supposed to be spending her entire time bathing pointing her ass at the door.
For this to make sense would require new writing for the scene, possibly requiring the player character to address Lucile while she is bathing and most likely instruct her specifically on what to do... which I suppose is a possibility. Which is why I hoped that someone would speak up who had actually had confirmation one way or another from the horse's mouth directly (the metaphorical horse, that is, by which I mean Bones, not the actual horse he's recording sounds from... we've heard enough from that one).
Ah, but what do I know. It's just a porn game, it doesn't have to make sense. Right?

At this point most of the support have given up on him, he going to reach a point where teasers aren't going to work anymore

Hopefully, but at close to 55 grand a year and in Uruguay I don't think he gives a s#!t.
to be fair they are currently medically occupied and did say in their discord that there wont be updates for a while because of their medical condition that is limiting them to work on the game

Certainly, and I imagine most people would be very understanding towards something like that. Medical issues happen and can be very severe, and recovering from, or even just managing, such issues can require being prioritized over things like work. And the issue Bones has reportedly been dealing with, kidney stones, can indeed be extremely painful and represent a very valid obstacle to prevent him from working.
The reason people are critical of him and this supposed medical problem is (among other things) how long this issue has persisted. The initial report that Bones had kidney stones was from the beginning of May. That is four months ago. Kidney stones that can't/don't pass naturally within four weeks are either medically, ultrasonically or surgically treated and removed, especially since ignoring them can kill you.
So yeah. He did say that he has medical issues, but there are some fair reasons that people don't believe him... at least not that it's an issue anymore (nor that it has been for a couple of months).

As much as I get where you're coming from and am far from impressed myself, I honestly also think it is wrong to mock the fact that Bones has apparently actually produced something for once. While I agree wholeheartedly that his behavior and work ethic has been terrible, and while I don't buy into the idea that our criticism detracts from Bones ability or motivation to work, it should genuinely be treated as a good thing that we see signs that he is working... just a little.
Because even if you meant it sarcastically, you're right: this is progress. Very small progress, but progress nonetheless.
I'm all for criticizing Bones when he does something wrong (or nothing at all, which is also wrong), but treating it as laughable when he actually does something will only reinforce the impression his supporters have that we are a bunch of toxic people who just want to hate Bones and his game.

are you implying it's wrong to shit on WEG devs with nonexistent work ethic? because it might hurt their feefees and they may stop "working" altogether? they will get criticized either way, why not have fun while doing it?
you know, I've also seen a scene with martha in the bathroom where she turns into a ghoul for a split second. has anyone else seen that? or can they explain it?

Where in my post did I say that? I thought I made such an effort to make sure to express my own distaste for Bones' work ethic, and even specifically said that I'm in support for calling him out. I even just as specifically stated that I don't believe our criticism detracts from his motivation, which by extension would mean that I don't care about his "feefees".
At most, what I implied was that indiscriminately "shitting" on someone no matter what they do might not do any favors for how outsiders view those active in this thread, and maybe that just a tiny bit of

might have a place, since if he gets the same response from doing something as doing nothing, then he genuinely has no reason to do anything.But by any means, have your fun. Shit on whoever you like, myself included. Bones has certainly done (and not done) plenty to deserve it, and anyone is free to disagree with my viewpoints as much as they like.
I will most likely continue being critical of him, too, since I doubt that a teaser image is a sign of him changing his ways. It will likely be weeks or months until the next teaser, let alone the next update. I would be happy to be proven wrong, but I'm not expecting that to be the case.
Progress?? reworking a scene is not progressing the game!
and he just reworks lesser scenes..like peeping at lucile..what's next? the useless groping scenes?
can i remind you that there is still no 0.18C!!
which by the way wont progress the game either.
even if an update is released...it will be disapointing

Who would have guessed that trying to take a diplomatic stance on something would end up being so contentious? The one time I try to be nice, and even though most of what I wrote was still about my negative opinion of Bones, I have to repeatedly defend my statement. Fine, though, one more time.
Yes, I am aware that Bones is supposedly still working on 0.18C. No, I am not pleased with that fact. No, I don't think progress on 0.18C - a rework update - is progress on the game as a whole, strictly. But unless he announces that his plans change, he won't move on to something else until 0.18C is finished. Which means that while this is not progress to the game, it is progress towards a time he might start progressing that again.
Again I apparently have to include a very explicit note that I suspect, as most of you likely do, that he will keep reworking and that it will be a long time - if it ever happens - before he moves on to new stuff.
EDIT: I don't see why this or my previous several posts are facepalm-worthy, but apparently there I'm saying something extraordinarily stupid without realizing it while trying to be amicable. Seeing as people appear to object to this, I won't be responding to any more replies to this series of posts unless it actually raises a point worth discussing.
