This was not my answer. You say that I said something stupid. Tell me the reason. In the end, people like you are only looking for attention from others.
Very well.

You mentioned a game to be marked as 'Abandoned' when the Patreon is still getting 1-2 new sneak peeks per month as it has been since the start of the year. This is how the first part of your post was objectively wrong. It's slow on version releases, i'll give you that, but it's been consistently slow. Just because you'd like to play the next part of the story right f--king now does not mean the devs are being lazy -- they set the pace. I'd like for the next island to open up as well, and agree the pace of releases is slow, but i'm not a dev so i have no say in it and neither do you. Fact of the matter remains, it is consistently slow and therefore there is nothing to suggest it's been abandoned.

In the later part, you put forward as evidence of your claim that the game is abandoned the entirely unrelated statement that the game 'has bugs'. Yes it does. These bugs will be fixed and there will be others to take their place, because that's what happens to pretty much anything that's in development. The amount of bugs in a game is not a measure of how active the development is and never has been. Rather, it is a measure of the aptitude of the developer: Even AAA games by companies capable of throwing 100 mil at game development have a ton of bugs in them, otherwise nothing would need to be patched ever.

Add to that that that was your first forum post and... well, the first impression was obvious.

Thanks for the explanation, but about the people who attacked me. I didn't say anything bad, I just complained about the bug. And is the first post really important?

So, let this be a lesson learned. When you nonsensically call out something on absolutely baseless terms (i.e., outrightly labeling a game as abandoned when there is a decent amount of evidence to suggest otherwise as mentioned by the people in the forum), people can AND will call you out for your blatant show of ignorance.

Games that are in development will have bugs that will be ironed out as the game progresses through various development cycles.

This is the reality of the situation as many games (even the mainstream AAA/AAA+ games will have these kinds of "chinks in the armor" to contend with as they go through the ongoing QA/Development phase prior to full/camera-ready release.

Having said that, if that does not tickle your fancy, or if you have further qualms about it, by all means then in the interim you are free to play through other games and check back on progress later. It is a very simple/logical alternative to consider.

So, with that thinking established, refrain from playing the "victim game" or the "oh woe is me act people are attacking me schtick" when it was originally your trollish/uninformed ignorance that led you to be called out in the first place.

Have a wonderful rest of your day/week ahead

You're asking too much. It's easier to complain and will obviously make the dev shit out a new update that will have the game fulyl completed with no bug whatsoever, instnatly. That's how complaining works. Don't you know ? :KEK:

Not really, there are floating dicks yes, but the game itself has a fair bit of variety, mainly harassment (the jobs etc around town) - I've played it over a couple of times and never felt like the scenes were too similar. It's the one that has a character based off tracer from overwatch, while having nothing to do with overwatch.

It does get a little less interesting after the first chunk of the story (to me at least, as it focuses on non-exploitive relationships and I don't enjoy that in games) though the town content and the multiple slut routes are worth it imo.
Third Crisis actually started as an Overwatch parody game, but they received a cease and desist from Blizzard which resulted in them pivoting entirely into their own IP very early in development. They were forced to scrub all references to Overwatch and the main character was redesigned.

Agreed about the story losing steam partway through. The fire character was introduced and dealt with too early in the story, despite providing most of the tension as an early game antagonist. Tonally the halfway point of the game feels like a major shift from the worldbuilding and sexual/corruption elements that they were building to.

It honestly feels like the developers got attached to their characters too much to put them into the typical multiple bad ends, corruption story like we see in Claire's Quest, and instead wanted to tell a more traditional hero story after they had too heavily invested in the more niche non-con genre. That's why I think the main bad end routes with Pleitho and the Slut route are written and developed by a different member of the team and feel so disconnected from the main game: they're the only things remaining true to the game's original vision (just my opinion, anyways).

Man, I chose the Castle route, thinking it would lead to a dark route where Claire has to use every means possible to help the defender hold the line.

Turn out it was just a shorter prologue.

what difference between this one and steam ? I saw comment said this game shouldn't be purchased on steam because it lacks a lot content

Steam doesn't allow underage looking content, so the Urchin questline isn't in for that one. There was a Showgirls questline in return for it, but that ultimately got added tot he non-Steam version as well i believe so it's just the Urchin quests missing from Steam.

You have to go to the cheats in the menu and go to REFRESH and/or TELEPORT. Choose Refresh. This will help you to get past this bug.

The problem is the artist , he will bail the project at some point if this keep dragging on . And his art is superb all so hard to imitate. If he goes this game is done.
They've actually gone through at least 1-2 other artists on this project already, and they brought on another artist to imitate the current art style so they can (supposedly) increase their art production. That was one of the reasons they completely redid the prologue: to have the new artist(s) remake all the art while expanding the scope of the first act.

The dev have also lost control of the story, to put it simply. They allowed to many fan based choices in and now they are struggling to develop all of the story routes, and the worst part is they still have no nebulous idea on how the game is supposed to end.

They are kind of forced to do it . Since these people are the paying ones. And they demand that kind of content. Like the breeding ranch zoo scenes. As for the artist i very much doubt they will find an other artist like Ganassa if he leaves the project. We can only hope the devs will put their shit together and start developing contend to push the story , not more silly side quests.
