This game is so god dam buggy I had to just load up MTool to dig for all the missed dialogue and scenes.
No matter how many times I reloaded saves or restarted some events just did not trigger.
You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.
Then there are times when the character portraits never show up during dialogue, so when you meet Apple and Cinnamon I was only seeing the square profile images in dialogue.

For anyone who wants to rewatch scenes besides the ones that have re-watchable scene flag (Bessie, Mizuho/Sigrun bathroom peeks, Carmen) open the game with MTool, go to Map tab, then drop down menu to the map with scene, click EVInterpreter and GoTo the relevant dialogue:

Well this game's fucked. Looks like he's going to just throw everything away and start over in a new engine. Sure he tries to blow some smoke about finishing this but that's an obvious lie.

LMAO, there's no intention to ever finish this mess. Gotta keep them pixiv fan dollareydoos flowing though.

I don't think he really enjoys drawing. The only time

Hardly, he even says this:

"My plan is currently to finish this game in a more or less satisfying way, but inconclusively so that I "remake" the game in a simpler manner, and just leave in the important stuff and be concise about it".

He just wants to get it done and over with and focus on commissions. If he really was trying to "roll in the pixiv bucks" he would do what a lot of other artists do and have ridiculously priced plans (there's one creator I was looking at the other day who wanted you to pay the equivalent of 70 usd to get access to all of their artwork). As it is, you only need to pay less then a buck a month if you want access to almost all of gaikiken's artwork.

Words are not actions, when I see some actual progress then I'll start believing it, until then I'm sticking to my beliefs, sorry.
You're going to be waiting a while because the game is something he works on on the side, when he's not doing commissions or streaming. He obviously does not have any intention of working on it unless he's bored and has nothing else to do with his time.

The distinction between "This will take ∞ minutes" and "It's never going to be done" is functionally irrelevant.

As I said before I'm at least partially sympathetic to the situation with this game since he did try to make it a main project in the past and the crowdfunding campaigns didn't meet the goals. But I'm not buying that he's not just bored/frustrated with it and looking for an easy fix. Wouldn't really give a shit about an engine change ( other than the fact that it's the worst and most time intensive solution to the issue he stated ) if he was keeping the characters, art and story progress.

1.Does any one know where Bessie´s books are if there are any left, if not that’s fine I’ll just keep cooking.
2. Sooo after I went to the centaurs village and all, I am still stuck at the part where I am told that the elf’s had attacked, is that a WIR or am I just dumb?

Ain't played since the update dropped last year, but I'm pretty sure you can talk to the NPC outside of Bessie's house and they give you all of the available cooking books (may need to speak to them multiple times). The end of this build is once the 3 centaurs leave the tower and join you in town, can't remember if that happens when they announce that the elves have attacked though, sorry

So uh what's the post about? Is he just going to remake the game as is, but in a different engine, or will he rework all of it including characters etc?

It's fuckin great that he paywalls info posts, right? XD

I'll copypasta it for you:

Heya guys!

What you see here might be confusing! "Redesign for Roz-chan?" "Rota?" There's a reason I've done these concept designs. I will explain it in this post.

I hate RPG Maker. It's an outdated engine that if you don't know any kind of programming, you depend on plugins. The issue with plugins is that those are also depending if they work with each other, and when something breaks its either extremely difficult to determine what broke, or maybe some really dumb and easy to fix, but you aren't ever sure if its a plugin that's not working right or if it's me not understanding. Fact of the matter is, its a great tool to start out game making but it also boxes you in a lot. Which leads me to my next point.

I will move away from RPG Maker to potentially GODOT. My plan is currently to finish this game in a more or less satisfying way, but inconclusively so that I "remake" the game in a simpler manner, and just leave in the important stuff and be concise about it. The current idea is that it will be an alternate universe of sorts but not. I can't put into words yet, as at the moment I'm writing every idea I have so that I make something that's good and not something weird.

I had a long time to think about it, but the current game people love it and I'm grateful for it, but from a dev point of view, it was unplanned and it was getting out of scope. I needed to reel it in a long time ago, but I kept adding things. So moving forward, I will work and plan appropriately to have something that will make everyone happy and I can deliver a fun and lewd experience.

I'm still determining what characters I can use for the following story, although everything is taking form. Once I have a better idea of how I will proceed, I will share synopsis and general ideas.

Let me know if you have ideas of your own or what characters you want me to keep around. Or if you have any feedback. Appreciate the support as always!
And then he's got some rough images of redesigned roz and hildr's sister. Before anyone asks, I'm not uploading those.

so TL;DR : This game here is dead, he'll start to work on another game in another engine that MAY OR MAY NOT contain the characters of this game, or may be something completely new, but in any case it'll be a hell of a lot smaller?
