Havent played this for a year, does it have santino route now? The big boss? Or was it a one off thing

LMAO wait another year. Finally got a new update and its just Mayhew crap and more expansion of lore.

Santino has... an interesting development in the game

the Mayhew scene was well overdue... I think it was a good narrative choice to make it at the end of chapter 1's arc

He is quite important though, basically he sets himself as the center of the story, give or take, and practically the one who kickstarts the whole thing. At least his presence doesn't overshadow the rest of the cast

But I think we could use a few more women character, just to expand the world and those are involved a bit more, but it's just me I guess

Okay but the updates are also too slow to check back regularly.
If you're playing for the story, you're going to need to wait several years for enough progress to have payback on the development of storylines/romance endings.
If you're paying for the hot story/CGs, you're going to have to wait several years too, for the developer to eventually get around to making your favorite scenarios with your preferred characters.

Like I did not look at this game for an entire year and when I checked back, there was nothing except more lore and hints at a larger/global order. Let's face it, for a game that's been in the making for 4 years now, the progress is glacial.

At this rate the game would realistically take 15+ years to finish. Sooner or later, there is going to be an inevitable development in the creator's life, like kids or a husband or financial difficulties that will stop the game altogether.

Sorry if I'm being pessimistic.

D'accord, mais les mises à jour sont également trop lentes pour être vérifiées régulièrement.
Si vous jouez pour l'histoire, vous devrez attendre plusieurs années pour que des progrès suffisants soient réalisés afin de rentabiliser le développement des intrigues/fins romantiques.
Si vous payez pour l'histoire/les CG les plus populaires, vous devrez également attendre plusieurs années avant que le développeur ne se décide enfin à créer vos scénarios préférés avec vos personnages préférés.

C'est comme si je n'avais pas regardé ce jeu pendant une année entière et que lorsque j'ai vérifié à nouveau, il n'y avait rien d'autre que plus d'histoire et des allusions à un ordre plus vaste/global. Soyons honnêtes, pour un jeu qui est en développement depuis 4 ans maintenant, les progrès sont glaciaires.

À ce rythme-là, il faudrait en réalité plus de 15 ans pour terminer le jeu. Tôt ou tard, un événement inévitable surviendra dans la vie du créateur, comme des enfants, un mari ou des difficultés financières qui arrêteront complètement le jeu.

Désolé si je suis pessimiste.

J'aime ce jeu justement pour l'histoire qui est vraiment géniale avec tous ces rebondissements. Je préfère une histoire lente et bien fait
qu'une histoire bâclée vite fait et sans intérêt.
C'est mon point de vue personnel.

Are there more scenes with him or was it just the office thing

Considering what I know about / from the dev that he published in discord, I think the game will be finished much earlier. Sure, don't expect to have it this nor the next Christmas

you are basically describing 80-90% of the ongoing games on this website. For various reasons (the business model, the often one-person dev team, limited resources, etc) this is how these games are, so at a certain point one has to decide that it's here first and foremost for the ride.

There's a scene with him in a car after he picks you up to visit Mayhew's building, but other than that no.

Making VNs is not that easy I presume. And I can somewhat relate to your predicament; I usually won't play demo version of a game until it has a signficant amount of content. I've known Bound by Night for a few years, but I only started to play it recently, and already love it. If you ask me, while waiting, you can just play other games. It's what I do while waiting for the updates of my favorites~

And from what I've seen around on Discord, the dev is at least consistent with their work so I'm not too bothered. It can't be updated regularly like once a week, or once a month maybe, but at least there's something, even just a little. And making good games, stories, graphics and all, it needs time. I'd rather have them take their time developing and fixing the games with good results rather than rushing at cheetah speed but the quality is subpar. There's no doing fast with good results I think. Not in this case, especially because the story is quite lengthy and there are many characters involved

Just relax~

*Gay Games in particular. I understand reality, and that most gay games often have to sacrifice quality or length to make up for it because of the lack of funding/consumers.

That is very true. Chapters are not that long. I would think that there is at least four to six chapters in Paris. Then the permutations that branch from choices you make. It takes a bit of time to make high quality story, high quality animations and tie it altogether. You can see an improving quality level in the art throughout the editions he has released. I wish we could see it to the end since the story is starting to get really interesting, too.

Maybe I'm just too stupid, but I can't get Nick into bed in Chapter 6 and unlock the scenes "Cowboy Up!", "Milk for Two" and "Good Night", even though I've tried everything and followed the walkthrough, but I can't invite Nick into my bed.
