Damnit, this game is way too good.
I was enjoying myself way too much and then the dreaded end of content came

The struggles of playing a VN while it's still in development. I feel your pain...

i will admit im surprised they rewritten the story. can no longer kill the girls at the start. i kinda liked that even though you lost a lot of story and sex scenes.

Eh. I always found that to be utterly pointless.
"ok so here is a porn game. and I am going to write paths where instead of fucking the women you just kill them and do not have sex". what is the point?
I would understand if it was to facilitate vore or necrophilia. but it isn't. they are just killed and gone from the game forever

It fits the setting. It's not just a porn game, it's a good story.

Regardless, it's far more fun to NOT kill them, for sure.

It's an adult game, not a porn game, to be fair.
TV shows which contain sex, shown after the watershed, are not porn.
Porn is something which is designed for no other purpose than to arouse the viewer.
This game, as with many others on this site, are designed to tell a story.
An adult story, which contains strong violence & explicit sex scenes, yes.
But this does not equate to porn.
Porn doesn't even require the most basic of plots.

Porn doesn't even require the most basic of plots.

You know that reminds me of my high school english class in which we had to do a creative writing project so I decided to write the script for a porn move but had to quiet because the plot was full of holes.

3 holes that presumably would have been filled, during the plot?

Porn plot:
Man meets woman, for any/whatever reason (does not need to be stated, or defined).
They fuck.
He cums.
The end.
I'm not sure that would pass elementary school English! lol

hmm... if you have plot-holes can you also have plot-penises?

 

[whichone]

Can do. As long as it fills the hole...

 

[desmosome]

I like that the save naming feature is not the obnoxious one that makes you confirm an extra time every time you want to save. If there is one thing that could improve the feature, it would be to keep the save name you previously used until you change it to something else. Right now, you enter in the save name and then it is cleared after you load once.

Edit: Hmmm actually, maybe that's not how it works. If I load an old save, it clears that save name field. If I load a save made from the current version, it keeps the save name. Maybe the QOL change is already in place in the recent version.

 

[desmosome]

Sorry if this has already been discussed, but what are the design goals for the factions?

If we decide to help the mutants, does that lock us into that faction? Are factions exclusive? Will we be able to abandon/betray a faction? Will we be able to help multiple factions at once? Will it be like the typical RPG system where you can do the initial few quests for any faction and then have to decide if you will join fully?

 

[Canto Forte]

What factiond? MC is under a queen who is very proud and posessive of her subjects.
Anything else is dilly dallying on the verge of getting oneself killed 4 no reason.
No reason what so ever.
Burn those silly thoughts outta your mind, gamer, in this game, MC is here to rule!

I'll admit I am curious. Which ones are you talking about?

The save name is embedded into the save file itself (it's how it works by default).
So that field will contain the name of the most recently loaded save if there is one, otherwise it will be blank.

hey i just discovered this game. how many times does the developer update in a year?

 

[Kargan3033]

This is true I tried to get a few nuns to join in the *action* to be had once the script was done because it was so *holely* but for some reason they seemed a little how shall we say *upset* with me trying to add them to the list of actors for the porn once the script was done, oh well their loss.

 

[junj]

Can’t wait for the next update!

 

[Kellermann]

hey i just discovered this game. how many times does the developer update in a year?

Generally it is a few months between episodes. Definitely one of the best records on F95 in terms of delivering good content in a reasonable amount of time. It is also one of the last beacons of hope I have after so many of my other watched games are getting abandoned, placed on hold, or are now taking over 6 months (and many as high as 12 months) to release.

Progress:
Kitchen scenes: 80%
Nadia visit: 30%
Scene A: 60%
Scene B: 40%
(More to follow...)

Oh wait, is Nadia coming to visit? I thought we were going to visit her at her family's home? I'm happy either way, but I thought we were invited to Omar's place. Maybe that was for later when Shani completes her zone trials and this is just a sleepover for Nadia and Ain.

ah. but that's not what makes the story interesting is it.
It's the story telling, the characters and the interaction.
