So this comment might be completely pointless and worthless, or perhaps it makes at least someone crack a smile, be warned lol.
Over way too many years, I've played probably thousands of AVNs, though almost always staying away from cheap html garbage, or unity/unreal 'VN'.
And I know this one is getting a serious overhaul/rework/whatever-to-call-it.
But again, of the thousands of VNs under my belt, this, this puppy, is *somehow* a 'game' that is OFTEN on my mind. I cannot explain why. There wasn't even much content in the current version relatively speaking. Not tooons of 'lewd' scenes, etc etc. So again, I dunno why, but I seem to be unable to get this particular 'game' out of my head lol.
It's not because "you probably played it like 5 mins ago so that's to be expected".
No, I believe the last time (and only) time I played this, was probably when 0.2 popped up here, possibly it was 0.2.1 cant remember, it's been quite a while that's for sure.
There are "bigger" and more "popular" VNs here that might have an update once per year, and they are great, massive, etc etc, but I honestly forget them after a while. (til the new update pops up, but until then, it doesnt occupy my mind often or at all)
Dunno if that says more about most of the VNs, or this one. But again, the sum of the fact is, this dang 'VN' just wont leave my mind in peace lol.
Also I'm very much against the use of AI as it often (not always, and again IMO) looks worse than a hastily rendered Daz character.
So, there's several things I normally really loathe, that is IN this VN. Being html, ai, and whatnot.
Yet, as I said, I want MORE. I constantly keep having this one popping up in my head.
I'm more glad than worried about the change coming up for this one. Like getting used to the new looks of the characters, some which might be an improvement, some might not be(I honestly dunno yet).
Another thing to add to why I'm so confused about myself liking this particular VN so much. I am *NOT* a Dune fan.
I have not read the books. I have not watched the two new movies(think there's only 2 so far?). I've only seen that old one, Lynch. And that was..well long effing time ago.
So no, this has nothing to do with me being a Dune fan either, as I never really felt hooked on that 'universe'. I think other than that old movie, there's 2 Dune games I enjoyed back in the days, first one being a bit of an adventure game? I remember Dune 2 being basically command & Conquer though. That's about my exposure to Dune. I know the name of the families, and main characters(somehow).
So I'm still very confused with myself, as I really can't put my finger on why this one attracted me so much. Which again is a reason for both hope and worry regarding the 'rework', will I like it even more? Less? Who knows.
What I know is, you guys better hurry up because I effing wanna play it, pretty please?
In short, despite all the AVNs I've played over the years, very few managed to hook me like this one.
Very , and I mean extremely few AVNs have had me think about them and longing for an update(or in this case, rework). But with this one, I'm helluva hyped.
Just wish you would hurry up
sorry for the wall of text/ramblings. I had to get this off my chest. <3
If this were to come out, as Ren'py or w/e, and had a decent release schedule for the updates, this is easily a project I would throw money at - and trust me, I dont find many 'projects' worthy of my $ (especially not VNs that have 1-2 updates per year)
