the part 1 renders should be enough for an BIG update already.
why wait?
Yeah, 850+ renders -- I would be thrilled to get an update of any game that was even half that size. 1464 renders as of their most recent progress report would be like three or more updates for most games.
You'd think that a steady supply of releases would mean a steady supply of Patreon subs, but I'm no economist, I guess :unsure:
The same reason why most people like to watch a movie in one go, instead of watching the first half now, and the second half in three months. I like these episodes to be a somewhat contained piece with a satisfying little story arc and an ending that fits. Randomly cutting it in half will just feel unfinished. I'm sure some would disagree, but that's how I'd like to continue doing this.

It's also just a lot easier (for me) to write the whole thing, then do all renders, and then test and polish until everything fits, instead of dividing that into 2 or more partial episodes. Another thing is that there's always a sort of balance in an episode. Between the 3 routes, between story parts and sex parts, between funny and serious parts, and so on. Cutting it in half might mess with that as well.

And lastly, each release still comes with a lot of time that is needed for a bunch of stuff. Polish, building distribution files, uploading files, social media posts, and just generally a lot more distractions since I spend a lot of time reading feedback and interacting with the community after a release. So the second release would just be pushed back and you'd ultimately wait longer for the full episode to be out.

(And yes, more frequent updates would most likely be more profitable. But I'm just gonna pretend that avoiding negative rep for releasing unfinished episodes will make up for that in the long run :))

if so why did you release the first part of the game?
supporters are not going to pay for months of zero content i can tell you that.
to keep supporters you release small updates regularly.
1. Most AVNs (including the most popular ones on this website) use the same episodic format, so you're just wrong.
2. There are more supporters right now than ever, so clearly people favor said format.
3. You're probably not even a supporter, why should the dev care about what you say? If you actually were you'd be contacting them on patreon or discord, not on some piracy forum lol.

That depends on the taste of each one, but if it was like PB2 I would be more angry than happy, and it has already been said many times that this were many things that added the development time, because before there were updates every 4-5 months.

You are not talking for me. I am a Patreon from the very beginning. And I don't mind waiting as long Morrigan delvers. Which happens all the time.

Lol.
Morrigan informed supporters (myself included) of this decision long ago and i haven't see anyone complaining about it, i mean other than a few entitled pirates like you. :rolleyes:

It's author's decision. Author has a creativity freedom and no pressure from business under him/her thus author decided that release entire chapter is better than releasing a part of it.
Taking into account author's transparency about development process, speed of development, no shady business, I don't have any reason to complain

You can't speak about supporters, you may only share your personal opinion

Episode 6 - Progress Report #29
Hey everyone
Sorry for the delayed report, I've had a super busy couple of days.
Here's the progress:
  • Writing: 100%
  • Coding: 90%
  • Environments: 75%
  • New Characters: 7/7
  • Background Characters: 30/36
  • Renders: 42%
    • Part 1 (9:00pm): 852/852
    • Part 2 (10:00pm): 457/457
    • Part 3 (11:00pm): 250/550
    • Part 4 (12:30am): 0/750
    • Part 5 (2:00am): 0/500
    • Part 6 (3:00am): 0/600
  • Music/Sound: 0%
  • Testing/Polish: 0%

Release date estimate: August 2025
I've made some progress with renders, but not as much as I'd wished. I had to redo about 40 renders which ate up a lot of time. The issue was that the scene was overloaded with assets, which triggered a fallback on CPU during rendering. Which means render times went up from ~20 minutes to ~5 hours per render. And of course I noticed way too late :cry:. Stupid mistake that hopefully won't happen again (which I already said last time it happened, so let's hope I suffered enough to remember now :D).
For the sake of transparency I'll say that I'm currently about 200 renders behind what I planned initially a couple weeks back.
Not much else to report, except:

❤ Thank you for your support and Happy Pride ️‍❤

Great thing that development is chugging along nicely regardless!

That is a nice picture btw. Where did you get that?

Cheers!
If you're talking about the render of Ashe it's from the game when she watches the "help me I'm stuck" porn and then fantisises about Evelyn

Sincerity. In games with a futa MC with a possible sub route, the route is usually my favorite. I love to see a dome being treated like a sub. I like the power play of the relationship.
But for some reason, in this particular game, the dom route is my favorite. I wondered why for a while, until I got the answer: I don't like the hyper muscular futa genre. I just think it's boring.
For me, the good thing about a futa on futa is seeing two girls with penises having sex. The dom futas in this game are too masculine for my taste, and the fact that they are shemale (not having vaginas) doesn't help with the situation.


The good thing about the dom route of this game is that the mc only interacts with the more feminine futas, like Fiona. Also, unlike other games in which the mc, when in the dom lane, is always the top and rarely gets fucked, in this game, even when the mc is more dominant, she can still act as a sub from time to time, which only gets better for me.

Well, that's just my opinion at least, what do you guys think?
