If it's in the OP it has been scanned, it is the ones randomly posted in the thread you need to be more cautious with. Sometimes the ones in the OP slip through but it has only happened a couple of times.

I mean, I don't know if it was intended to be, but reassuring this is not. :)

Chill out goomers, he says months/years ago he doing It for hobby and he dosent care about YOUR moneys that half of you wont pay anyway, even If he would honest work on this game.

Now you can cry In dark corner, god bless you.

I don't know about you, but for me, insulting and disparaging white knight comments always get better when they are in so horrible broken English that it makes me laugh.

Like calling people on F95zone "goomers?" Dude, what the hell are you even talking about? You know what this forum is? "Gooming" is the only reason it exists.

And don't get me wrong, you won't see a negative comment about the dev or the game from me, I just hate useless and insulting white-knighting. Despite the circumstances, it's perfectly okay to be frustrated about the development of this game, but like with your comment, the tone is the most important thing.

You are getting a update for free in a pirate site.
Don't want to download or to believe that the developer will stick around this time? That is your prerrogative but stop with the entitled bullshit, you don't get to say how everyone else (including forum staff- mods and uploaders) should act around the game's update.
Contrary to popular (but inane) belief, something being for free doesn't completely devalue criticism. The more you know....


Look, let's just be honest here, Tim-e-pants has said his piece, he didn't share the update himself, it isn't a meaningless special, it is part of the main narrative, that doesn't mean it isn't understandable that people are frustrated.
Tim-e-pants either cares about that or he doesn't (seems he doesn't), but either way, considering the development of this game, ANYONE trying to pull a switch and instead aggressively and insultingly go against the people who complain, is in a very weak position.
I won't go into details why it's silly and meaningless to claim that you can't criticize things you get for free, because it's all out there already and really if people like you were honest, you would know it is a pointless argument to make, but maybe just accept that being frustrated after years of no update is a perfectly valid reaction, even if you aren't.
Again, that doesn't mean I am fine with people insulting the dev or making assumptions about his character, but a game with this development history will of course have people being unhappy about it.
Plus, you have no idea how many people here are or were supporters of the game, which just further devalues your already ridiculously weak argumentation.

Are you really going to tell me that a user whining about the mods and uploaders updating the thread with a new game update, like they do with every other thread when someone sends them leaked links is constructive criticism?:oops::rolleyes:

I have expressed skepticism before but i am not going to jump into a hate bandwagon and act like the developer putting a update is a mortal offense against my very being, like some users here seem prone to.

By the way, considering that timepants had around 20 supporters last month it is very easy to estimate the likelihood that most complainers are not supporters.

Anyway as i told the other forumite, like or dislike, be hopeful or skeptic. That is anyone's prerrogatives but i won't be going back and forth with this, specially with someone who seems like he didn't paid attention to the quoted post i was answering to and instead decided to make some passive agressive post directed at me.

As i said before i rather talk about the game.

First of all, you don't really "skip" characters. You can opt out of relationships and sex scenes, but the characters still are part of the plot and are with you a lot of the time. It's just the nature of your relationship is platonic instead. I've included content for each of the love interests introduced so far in each update. I haven't done, like, a Tahir only update or anything like that.


Sure I'd love to do animations as I've mentioned before. I'd also love to have the time to learn how to animate competently, learn blender because animating in daz is like pulling teeth and lacks any collision data, learn daz to blender bridge's quirks so it doesn't fuck up textures upon import/export, learn how to rig a skeleton, learn how to make sure the animations don't make the characters look like broken limbed nightmares, all while also writing, coding, editing, post processing/color correcting, and bug testing 1000+ render updates all by myself while simultaneously juggling irl responsibilities and work and being yelled at for taking forever by a lot of people who would never even consider spending a single dollar on the game.
Don't try to add animations for a Text-Based Game. Unless you have an animator that's dedicated to that job.
So far, None of indie porn VN that hv animation is an enhanced experience to the game. 99% of them are just very random, inconstant and out of place, no matter how good the animation itself is.

What you can do however, is making the Sprites moving accordingly, on top of changing expression, that will add dynamic and make characters more alive.
Sure it will collide with the old version, but it's been years it shouldn't be a problem to add an enhancement.

Those asking for Animation, probably not here to play a VN.
Also not sure where this "Out of date" comes from, these games barely change with time.
Anyone Shouting "60fps animations and 4k resolutions first" I consider them Fake Gamer.

Also, kudos to you still hanging around here and try to hv civilised conversion / answer questions, despite so much toxic negativity. That's quite an admirable trait.
Wish you best luck no matter what becomes of Exiles, Tho I do Hope you could finish it :LOL:

Holy shit! We are so back!

This is one of my favorite porn games. I play it for the plot. I mean, like, I also goon. But the writing sets it apart from other games. I actually read the text!

I know you are sarcastically calling me out for being kind of a dick, but all of that would be amazing. It's not like I know how to do it or have the time either so I get it. This is one of only 4 vn's I don't delete when I'm done so I can go back and enjoy again so I'm loving it as it is anyway with the jank.

A lot of people don't realize how much work and effort goes into these games and the fact that even with the right equipment, this stuff is difficult and time consuming. A lot of these are labors of love and creativity, not someone trying to make the next Skyrim.

So I played this a long time ago and reached the old end of content, just replayed it and I'm quite satisfied with how things played out. Looking forward to future content, but this definitely feels like a solid ending point, a good transition into another chapter if you will.

I'm not exclusively just being sarcastic. I just want people to realize the amount of time and effort that would have to go into that if I want animations worth a damn. I specifically don't use the premade canned animations that exist out there since they're in a lot of projects already and it feels soulless to me. It's still a goal at some point, but right now the priority would be on the chapter releases. Like, if I ever do a steam release or something, that's when some reworks of earlier content and attempts at either adding animations or hiring someone to make animations would come into play.

Focus on yourself and your game mate! I tried the game out of curiosity (COVID so downloaded a lot of games based on notation not kinks (I'm a writer)), played it not for the porn but for the story, and humour, even if childish and a wee bit too much at time, it's a good game and worth reading it! Astrid and the transvestite are well written and interesting, one can feel for them even if preferring the houri (kadisha?). So well done, pay less attention to what people say, get back on your feet, and work on your game the way you want, people will always be dissatisfied and complaining! So let it go buddy, focus on doing the best game you can do at this time of your life... And don't redo it please unless you can 100% focus on it, which you can not, or indeed commission someone to do it!

Game animations are fine, honestly its a vn that stood the test of time pretty well with models and animations, i just played again from the beginning to remember how good it was and still is one of the best to date. I said before, but games who have a different range(girl/trap/trans) is so rare, especially the good ones, the fun bits in the story also just adds to the enjoyment.

Saying that, very happy with the update, loved the stories, and its good that you are better dev, good luck with your projects including this one.
