It's hard not to find this very disappointing, and I don't think the new game should have been cause for the radio silence on communication. Plenty of people are checking in for the big chapter 3 drop and it seems e-thots wasn't even touched in the last month+, yeah? People were also being charged to support the project with some basic expectations that weren't managed at all. I think if the scope of E-thots was getting out of control, then the answer would have been to do fewer complicated scope creeps on the game like the convention, which was controversial and took months to get out the door. Maybe this project will be great, but there is no denying that even alternating development time between the two, that this announcement essentially means 'E-thots, now 30-50% slower!'. I also won't pretend to know much about Archipote's first game, Roselake's Lobelia, but didn't that get exactly 1 chapter and then was never touched again to make room for E-Thots?

Totally justified concerns!
But if I can reassure you, I don't plan on developing BootyTrap over the long term, so that doesn't mean I'll be alternating between it and E-Thots, cutting E-Thots development time in half.
Bootytrap is a bit like I've taken a “summer vacation” (a little early though, since I started in mid-May hehe). It's a way for me to "reset" a bit from E-Thots, which I've been working on non-stop since I started, with no breaks longer than a week or two.
E-Thots should resume right after BootyTrap, which I hope you will enjoy just as much
I don't hate the "AI NTR phone game" kind of thing but it's usually made with shitty looking AI graphics and a clunky UI combined with shitty writing to make it extremely boring. I trust that this dev will be able to make a better product than those. Good luck.

This IA new game is literally the same thing again. These 2d i.a slop arts are so boring, they all look the same, uninteresting and of course they are very inconsistent, which is a turn-off. Why not use 3d models? One of reasons people like the others games, i understand wanting to take a break from e-thots, but this is a big disappointment for me. Guess i'll just keep waiting for e-thots then.

Disappointing, but it is what it is.
Dont look bad, but E-Thot is so damn perfect, that seeing this feels bad. TBH its not worth to wait a single day more without E-Thot because any adult game that exist today.
But you know your drill. If this time of E-Thot will recharge you for keeping the quality, better to wait a bit more than having you abandoning it or dropping the quality.
agree E thot is super good

Honestly, the phone game genre isn’t really my thing, and I’m not a fan of AI-generated CGs either. But if it makes you happy, then that’s totally fine by me. In the end, if working on this project helps maintain the great quality we’ve seen in the E-Thots project, then go for it
