They're pretty much on their final chance I think. If they can't get it our by the end of the year, or shortly after due to this "less than ideal" plan B that BlueCat mentioned in the last status report, then I think most people will bail.
All of the ones that are "canon" are/will be included in the main game where they should be (all of the flashback stuff mostly)
THe non canon ones are also going to be in there, as dream sequences. Except the last one. Matsu doesn't have that dream until later in the story, so it's probably coming later.
If they managed to do what they said, I imagine it will be after Christmas. Though I wouldn't be surprised if that wanted it done before that, so they can not stress about it over the holidays.
Not sure that's the best idea. People like the Nekos. At least the ones that have been fleshed out. Plus, I don't think it has anything to do with the actual content that's causing problems. I believe it's the coding, and the profiles were slowing things down alot until they were temporarily removed.Reducing the amount of (useless and silly) neko content may help to speed up the releases, just saying.
Yep, I know it is not related at all. But it doesn't have to - it's a joke.
Yeah, I getcha. I'm in a similar position with Crazy Nurse. We like what we like.Yep, I know it is not related at all. But it doesn't have to - it's a joke.
Though, I couldn't care less about that neko thing and those who are into that - It doesn't bother me if it's not too much, but it's still ridiculous and sometimes annoying... That's my taste and opinion and hope I didn't hurt any kittens.
Very true. For me, I am not really a fan of Fuyu content. She is cute and all, but I just don't care for the cuckquean trope. In games that try it, the cuckquean is always the most boring character, in my opinion.
For me, it's the fact that she's the biggest threat to the students, and I'm a weirdo who's fully embraced the role of their teacher, and feel I need to look out for them. Except from me, obviously. I also kinda resent that she's holding Chiaki and Haruka's content hostage.
It is likely that very few of the people writing "harem" porn have actual experience with multiple wives. It is difficult to imagine something with which you are unfamiliar, and that gimps the writing. (You rarely find in-depth characterization of females in porn games for the same reason.)
Yeah, that post explains that, now that the profiles are temporarily removed, he's given his lead coder and ultimatum. So, we're expecting the release this month, or failing that, some kind of drastic, less than ideal action will be taken to get it out shortly after. Skummy copy/pasted the whole post a few months back if you want to try to find it yourself.
The Harem genre is about fulfilling a fantasy, so I'm not sure how realistic I'd *want* the relationship dynamic to be, with that in mind. I've never seen a real life harem, and probably never will. They're not a thing that really happens very often in North America, where I live. Polyamorous and open relationships are starting to be more frequent, but they're not really the same thing.
And therein lies the rub. It takes both skill and imagination to write good fiction, and that is something totally different from creating a game. That is why serious game creators hire a writer.
My own frustration with not enough poly routes is what helped inspire me to begin working on a polyamorous game.
I hope my 40 years of polyamory will help me make more believable relationships.
The closest thing we have here are the Fundamentalist Mormons.
Probably not the grand harems of legend and the Ottoman Empire, but polygynous marriage does still occur (usually with two or three wives). I've heard that immigrant families with multiple wives are forced to conform to US standards (if entering the US).
True, but it really needs to have an internal logic that is consistent and doesn't require too much "suspension of disbelief."
