Answers to some of questions:
Deeplayer:
Tentacles sound is weird: yeah I updated sound to be easier to hear, tentacles were too frustrating in past, it's way better now, but eventually it will change. I think adding infinite tentacles in emission zones is a good idea and permanently kill outside of it.
Ivy already has sneaky slow movement that is silent in the latest version
MacDakka:
It is true that game does shape into my ambitions and slowly ideas I had years ago are getting into reality. overall, the game is in a good shape and I don't think I want to change focus on any other project atm and properly finish this one until I'm happy with it.
Artix0:
exactly as you say, the entire appeal is in a combination of h-scenes, adult stats, combat, and gameplay into one unified thing. One wouldn't exist without the other.
J55555:
Russian accent or theme is not inspired by Tarkov, the gameplay is. Otherwise, a combination of Stalker-like themes, Slavic stereotypes with cyberpunk is the reason for this.
Related to free release, I do post free codes with some delay, however recent tries to exploit game files don't really motivate me to do so. I'm aware the game is easily crackable for experienced engineers, however, it will do nothing but harm the resulting quality of the game in the end.
Related to the war in Ukraine, I'm deeply disappointed in how world events turned out to be, and feel sorry for both Ukraine and Russian citizens, and indeed I have nothing but despise for Putin and his government.
Even tho war affects me psychologically quite a bit, luckily the project is safe and backed up/ready to be resumed from any part of the world if needed.
Appreciate all the supporters
