Disappointing. If he was going to rewrite it I would have preferred to have waited until the content he had rendered was written it. I can see why this would be a first scene but I hope it's not going off the track of the original idea and the girls are coming back as they were. Well, because let's face it, the story is important but we're here for the girls or we'd be sitting in bed reading Robert Ludlam or something.

Oh well, I'll just check back in a year for it to catch up. Hopefully.
I don't know? Maybe check 3 posts above yours (literally on this same page)?

You are hilarious if you think this is ok
Currently there is just no more good games that are steadily developed and released. I think I will leave this site for year or so, because this has become constant source of frustration since new Patreon rules.

I know that my English is not this good, but I fail to see where @Ignatz talked about his thoughts regarding the restart of the game. He just expressed his opinion on the useless comments made by people who seem to not know that this thread is not "write only".
So, next time you want to express your disappointment because yet another game is restarted, please don't go after the first guy you see. In advance, thanks.
I cannot honestly agree more. Why was there such a need to change the whole format if it was already going so well? If there was a need to change the structure of it then I think the options for choosing women could had been removed fron the menu and instead pre-determined choices for women could had been added.
I do not know why the developer though of making such a change in such a way, but in the end it is the developer's game and probably is thinking of going in some other direction I do not understand.
It however does not comfort me to know that developers are continuing to take this route and then crash and burn. This is usually the pattern.
Make a decent game till v0.6-1.0 < Suddenly rework the whole game out of nowhere < now the rework goes on till v0.4-0.6 < now suddenly the game has been abandoned.
I have seen this process too many times and because of it I really am skeptical about a game actually being made.

Here's your ball, take it and go home. Oh wait, it's not a ball, it'a frog's head! Take it anyway.:FeelsBadMan:
edit: I do think the stars and reviews should be wiped, it's a new start after all.
Ah man, the Doom/Quake days of the 90's, amazing memories from that time. Like you I am pretty new to this genre as well. Some of the first games I played, DMD and Summertime, turned out to be the best. But by means, we welcome vocal! We've absorbed a lot of great ideas reading the forums and listening to feedback. But when it comes to inclusion in the game itself, any addition has to make sense in terms of the characters. We wrote the character bios to act as anchors to the story. It's on reason we have so many characters. Because a fetish or event may not make sense for one, but may for another.@RomanHume Yep, it's a Fallout reference, it's the 3rd game I ever made/wrote a mod for. The first game I modded was Quake 1(back in 92) and I made a ton of maps and loved it(they were very popular with the community as well). I was a QA Manager/Software Design Engineer for over 30 yrs. and am enjoying my retirement. I've only just discovered this genre of games and most I play are pretty bad, so finding one that's good is pretty difficult to find. I enjoy this one along with about 5 others so I tend to get a bit vocal since I've seen too many get ruined by trying to add everything people want added, and imho the additions derailed the initial premise which made it a good game in the first place. I'm not saying this will "ruin" the game for me or anyone else, it's more about how it's implemented, so... I like your idea of how it's going to be implemented as I hate going shopping for condoms or finding out I don't have any left when I get "kicked" from an encounter cause I don't have one. Anyway, Great game and Thanks to you and your team for all of your hard work! Kudo's!!
So when it comes to integration of ideas, trust that we will stay true to the personalities of the characters in the story.
The alpha version 0.9.0 is still available on our webpage. See my signature for the link and then go to [Downloads].
We've not gone off track of the original idea I assure you, and all of the characters previously introduced will still be included as they were with the exception of Monica. We're just tightening the nuts and bolts.
At the moment two, maybe three releases. This is just a working estimate. But we are working at a much faster pace this go around and the new hardware has cut our render time drastically. So we plan to over take where we left off in short order.

Nice, that's a lot faster than I would have thought. Thanks for the heads-up.

Do not pretend people miss their opportunity to complain and be a whiny bitch just because all the development information was available from the beginning and months ago.

Yeah, because you know, if people don't take their opportunity to bitch and complain every chance they get, they risk losing their sense of entitlement. That would take away from their very reason for living.

Since you're a game dev can I ask something? Whats stopping you from using patreon to fund other things like Tataro's Soda reviews and develop the game unrelated to that? It has absolutely nothing to do with it and people are certainly funding your goal of writing a review of every Soda possible? Maybe tie in a link to Soda Reviews on your Patreon into the game, completely unrelated?
What's stopping us? Absolutely nothing.
Why wouldn't we do it? That requires a little more explanation.
First, how would we market it? How would we let people know that support of our soda reviews actually goes towards supporting our project. Burying the connection in the game might work, but then you are relying on people to actually pick up that bread crumb which is a hell of a gamble.
Second, if Patreon ever detected the connection between the two, that's it, we're done. We get completely shut out. We've suffered a Patreon black out in the past and they are ruthless to deal with. Then of course we could create a new patreon, but then we'd need a new a bank account, etc. To pass off as a new creator. That's a lot of work, too much work.
Third, having to maintain a 'front' for the operation is a whole job in and of itself. If we had 1,000 patrons and only three soda reviews, then someone is going to smell the fish. Patreon isn't stupid (again, we've learned that first hand). So that means we'd have to dedicate someone to pumping out the occasional soda review, and all the associated what not that goes along with it. We only have about 15 hours a week we can dedicate to this project. I wouldn't want to take away even two of those hours to maintain a 'front'.
I think at the end of the day, it's just too much work to build a house of cards to hide our project. And our Patreon growth is already very slow. I would hate to slow it down any further by making it difficult for people to find us.
BUT! Provided this game pays for itself in the end, we have other games already in the pipeline. Ideas and themes we can spin off of this initial story. So when we finally complete this game, we'll move on to the next project and release a "Director's Cut" of this game that includes all of the things that would have been a violation of our Patreon T & C's. Because at that point all Patreon funding will be going towards the new project.
Cheers mate!

If devs wouldn´t put something as simple as changelogs/status updates behind a paywall then maybe we would know what is going on and not bitch about it. If they kept these posts, roadmaps and visions for the future public maybe more people would be willing to become their patreon because they actually know where it is heading instead of blindly buying into it.
