Oh , wow ... this is actually look like a great game . Guess it's time to support this game developer with a pledge . This is definitely something different and interesting .

 

[Xypher]

Enjoyed the latest update, while short, still enjoyed it nonetheless.

Wish were given the option to grope Shani as well, like Ain.

While inspecting the car, MC talks about an upcoming meeting with the Queen. But the option appears only after visiting the Palace. Is this a bug or am I missing something?

that was my fault... we moved scenes around a bit in development and I missed the fact that the changed order meant that those lines were wrong.
it's fixed and will be right in the upcoming official/public release (tomorrow)

Some hints for future updates: I do like the violence and brutal action scenes - more of it. I would like see the MC to become more sexual with his family and with other girls. The sandbox system is unnecessary so far I could see. It seems to me easier to follow the storyline in a kinetic like story with choices.

When will the Mac version be updated?

 

[Cynicaladm]

When will the Mac version be updated?

tomorrow is the official public release date.. you can expect the mac version by then as well.

Some hints for future updates: I do like the violence and brutal action scenes - more of it. I would like see the MC to become more sexual with his family and with other girls. The sandbox system is unnecessary so far I could see. It seems to me easier to follow the storyline in a kinetic like story with choices.

fight scenes and sexy times are what the game is about..but they are functional to the plot, not their driving force.
in time, you'll definitely see more of both..right now we're still in the worldbuilding phase, we're introducing the characters and we still have a couple of factions to introduce... overall, the main plot is fairly linear.. the sandbox elements are mostly dialogue that complements the main plotline and give insight on the characters and their relations with the MC... but they are not necessary for the continuation of the game.
And then there's the repeatable sexy times... we wouldn't want to do without those, would we?
you can expect more of those as well.. even though they're not everybody's cup of tea.
we are working on a way to streamline the gaming experience by noting what is repeat content, what might be new and such.. maaaybe it will be there in the next update..but that's not a promise.

You could include that directly in the story

And then there's the repeatable sexy times... we wouldn't want to do without those, would we?

And you can make a gallery instead, it would be almost the same (to repeat the scenes)

I'm not a fan of sandbox either but I can play some, and I don't care about repeatable scenes, once is enough for me. Just my opinion, of course there are other people who like that. From what I understand sandbox is great for fappers

 

[Lusa2]

[spoiler stuck] Hello I really liked the 0.3 version but I don't have anything new with the 0.4 version ?! I restarted a save just to be sure and once I had the first scene in the market where we fight the fatty (scene from 0.3) I can't do anything. I can sleep at home and rewatch the breast massage and the titfuck from ain (holly molly) but nothing else.
I saw "8 new scenes" in the patch log so what do I do wrong ?

i dont want destroy your illusions but all main plot is practicaly that u r "dellivery boy" for queen wich is sending u randomly on missions and meanwhile when u r not in work u r repetabely screving familly members...
but still it have more story than for example knights tale and that game is well patroned so u can still succed i quess

 

[Haikuru]

We need a new for ver. 0.04 please

Currently Matt is updating it, Should be ready at 1PM my time ( Japan )

 

[Cynicaladm]

From what I understand sandbox is great for fappers

well.. I'm being told that the update is barely 10 minutes of playthrough, so I assume there's a fair bit of them who enjoy the game

in all seriousness, I'm not a fan of grind heavy games... and I think we're doing reasonably well on that front, but we can always improve. we are aiming at having RPG elements to the game, and those require choices to be made that end up sending the MC in various locations.. in the end, the game looks more sandboxy than it is, because there's a definite sequence to events pertaining to the main plot.
but I'm open for more specific criticism and will take it on board for future developments.

dude.. there's a reason I booted you from the discord.
You speak nonsense, have no actual knowledge of where the game is going and what it's content and the plotline is going to be, and are just trying to stir the pot..like by leaking the game 1 day before the public release date, which does nothing other than saddle the people who are trying it out with the bugs we're fixing before that day.

np i dont need to be everywhere

but firstly what i told about that "story" is just true this is not first update and yet there is only some delivery work for queen....
secondly i would like to ask u what is "official" publick release?
u promise your patrons get game 3-5 days before publick release...so u r giving them unfinished and bugged game updates? idk now if u really mean it or just joking

Same here, perhaps I missed something I'm not sure, it's my first playthrough of this gem.

Lusa came back to us on the discord.. apparently it's down to the WT preventing the continuation of the game?

Well..... The man hasn't played the latest update that's for sure.
But as for the sandboxy game thing, It's not really grinding, It's pure point&click.
