It's great that the game has 1500 cgs and 45 animations, but I think the question was a little different. All those stats you pointed out don't tell me or anyone else anything. Just mentioning the number of h scenes in the game would be enough.
Otherwise it is not clear whether at this point it is worth the time or not. Just saying
It's difficult to give an idea of the project and the things added in 0.2. But I disagree with the fact that "a number of H scenes would be enough" as my game is not only a hentai game. There are other elements such as a story, characters development...but it's not easy to describe that.
The only thing to do is try it and make your own opinion. I guess it's worth it but it is subjective.
About the hentai, there are some scenes with the two heroines from masturbation to forced sex/monster sex but also teasing, groping...

I don't want to offend anyone, but I think you overestimate this kind of games. No one follows these kinds of projects because of the story or character development. They're a prelude to the main content, which is hentai. For example your previous project didn't have a good story or character development. It was cliche upon cliche and there is nothing wrong with that because games like that aren't made for interesting story twists. If I want a story and a hentai, I'll run a jp visual novel.
The only thing I wanted to say is that it would be nice if the list of changes reflected in-game content instead of dry numbers. I mean, it's not particularly difficult just to write in changelog the number of new scenes. You don't need any descriptions to them, just a number.
I feel it may be needlessly reductionist to say the number of new scenes is all that matters. Sure the porn is what draws people to a porn game, but if that was all that matters then everyone would be watching/reading there erotic content and not playing it. Hell I would argue that the 'hours of content' measure is probably far better an indicator of if a games worth your time, even if it is one that is harder to objectively measure as it implies a density of content which is worthwhile to actually bother downloading rather than a game where you just run around finding scenes and then done in half an hour. after all the raw number of scenes says nothing of the amount of gameplay required to access them or the quality thereof.
Also the game is meant to be of the corruption genre, given the set up and story elements are critical to good corruption games pretending there somehow irrelevant is a bit weird, especially in a game like this where the corruptive element is interwoven with the mechanical layer of the gameplay. All of elements need to be present or the game doesn't make sense.
Not saying a number of new scenes is something that shouldn't be in a changelog. Just that your arguments for them being the only thing that matters seems a tad mono focused.
You are right, people are looking for hentai content. My projects are also hentai games and I may be not a good writer for stories or universe but some people like it and I wonder if Chronicles of Leridia would be Chronicles of Leridia without its story and characters. Would you play the game just to see the hot pictures ? Could we still call it a game without gameplay like the pentagrams, the twists (even if you think they're poorly written) between characters in the game...?
I'm a dreamer and maybe I'm doing wrong on on the hentai market but I know a few dozen players are having the same point of view.
Same for Cyberslayers, this is not just a kinetic novel. There are gameplay mechanics. This is also cliche with cyberpunk references, blade runner etc...but I try to make it unique in my own way.
I may be naive but I don't think people following my projects are just here for the porn. If so, they'd have moved a long time ago because there are much more porn oriented games with better quality out there than Leridia and Cyberslayers.

Well... I do =) Actually I like CoL as a game, while hentai scenes were repetitive and samely the deeper the story goes. Also they are not animated, images are kinda low quality, and I'm not a fan of huge titts. But still I liked them and the game overall. Maybe you go to JP VN's for the story and hentai, but if you want a porn GAME with actual gameplay, where you can explore the world, have over-erotic dialogs with NPCs, and experience erotic battles - then you go to games like Sangeki no Gear, Witch Act, Salvation and many more, including Leridia. And yes, character development in corruption games is the key.
Though Cyberslayers goes even further (at least for me) with adopting quest-like mechanics wich I really like. So I would say gameplay and teasing in dialogs/actions in Maelion's projects are as important as the actual hentai scenes (if not more).

I absolutely agree , i mean you can play pretty much any female protagonist games that are based on " how fast will she get dicked " and thats fine, but thats not what im looking for either female or male protagonist , story is needed and Maelion did wonders with CoL, the amount of choices and variations with the scenes is what made me like the game
So yeah, theres people out here that are looking for good stories that can lead to a " porn " scene rather than poor story with no impact but filled with scenes.
Maelion - speaking personally, I certainly appreciate the amount of work you put into providing context for the various scenarios and giving players consequential choices. It is very difficult and time consuming to create branching narratives, even on a smaller scale. But that variety and responsiveness to player decisions does wonders for game quality, and it can make a mediocre erotic scene more interesting.
The fact that you are looking to take this even further with Cyberslayers is very impressive. The increased integration of game mechanics, story, and player choice is something that I am looking forward to.
Additionally, when I played through the demo of Cyberslayers, I found a noticeable improvement in the quality of writing when compared with CoL. Not sure if you changed up your process, or just gained more confidence - whatever it was, great job and keep it up!
Chronicles of Leridia? Not sure if we played the same game or not but I think CoL was very story rich. I don't need something to be very or over complicated but I think CoL really was an amazing game with a really good balance of H-scenes and story. It's actually one of the reasons why I am so interested in Cyberslayers; not because the protagonist is appealing to me but because I have played an game from Maelion, that I really liked it, and am very interested in what they create next
