According to WP, the new version is out for Patreon but the Steam version is delayed a bit due to achievements not working properly.

So those achievements that barely anyone except the dev even want in the game are already causing problems!

Not the achievements in-game but Steam achievements.
Honestly who the hell cares about achievements, especially in an AVN. It's not like we play these games with friends or something. It just takes up development time and slows things down.
100% agree. Particularly when they are being added so far down the line. They just create problems. Although it sounds like they are just steam achievements. Not changing the game. Fingers crossed.

It takes less time than adding scenes to a gallery.

Many on Steam do want the achievements, a lot of AVN games that didn't have them, went back and now added them because it was a highly requested feature.

I've never cared about them, but I've come across so many people on this site alone who want them. It's a no-brainer for devs to spend some time on that, for sure.

If it brings in more players which in turn more money, why not, they are just text on the screen.

Yeah, especially even the non-adult side, with "achievement hunters".

Yeah there are even games on Steam whose only purposes (or benefits) are achievement providers. I wonder why, I don't understand the appeal. I might be too old for that shit.

With Microsoft/XBOX not sure about the others, earning achievements will in turn earn you points which you can cash in for well, real cash, or gift cards, or in store credit.

...
im getting the economics behind it, was just too lazy to put in bold parts from your post i was referring to.
and as usual more work is needed now to better explain that statement :BootyTime:

i was talking about people and what they consider as "important" - an achievement in avn, really:LUL:
though those "people" are mostly kids, nowadays business and trend-setters are still amusing...

*walking back into the shadows...waiting for russians or disease-x pandemic to reset the world back to basics...*

Achievements are something I like, but when they affect the gameplay, like finishing a game without taking damage (the typical no-hit run), but in a visual novel :unsure:, I think they'll be unlocked automatically because it's just a click to advance the text.

If it is a cinectic novel, you ar right, but if the game has several paths and even some gaming mechanics (how to banlance your behavior in order to reach a goal), it could be a little quest to reach them.

But to be honest, they are not much more (even likely less) than a gallery. I prefer a gallery as it also gives you hints about what you did not discover yet.
Thinking about archievments, I even thing they might be strange with adult visual novels. "Other players see your new badge: "You have reached the gay/torturing/incest ending!" :D .

On Steam you can hide it so that only your friends or no one can see it, as well as your list of purchased games.
In my case, I don't care what they think, so I leave everything on :LUL:.
