V.1.0 25 minutes, so, do you think V4.0 : 2 hours of gameplay ?
Depends on how slow you take things. Last time I played it took me like 1-2 days to finish it all. Hour wise if I had to guess maybe in the 5-6 hour mark tho that all depends how slow you take things. I personally take my time playing AVN's so my timeframe is skewed as ill play a scene maybe part of the next one as well just depends how good it's getting then i'll alt tab browse forums, do stuff i need to do etc. I don't really like to play games for hours on end straight anymore I like to take alot of mini breaks now days not like when I was younger.

I'd honestly be curious to know what the average playtime is.. Someone once said it took them 8 hours to get through one playthrough. It's kind of impossible for me to judge, unless I just play and give each screen a, "One Mississippi, two Mississippi, three Mississippi.."

With all my diff path saves, took me a few days...and that was with skipping content that is the same regardless of path.

To pull ideas directly from my ass, if I had to measure this sort of thing I would have to make assumptions:
If I recall wpm reading speed is about average of 200, and slow at about 100. Assume 2 seconds appreciation for any given image, and maybe 5-10 for something 'special' (not just pornographic, but ones with particular details like that bracelet or the dress up scenes.) and maybe another 5-10 seconds for each decision option.
So i'd figure wordcount/100 + (image count*2)/60 + ((decisions+"special images")*5)/60 = assumed playtime in minutes.

But again, that's completely from my ass and i woke up and went straight for the rum today.

I'm glad NeonGhosts is taking some time off once the chapter one rework is out
He is one of my favourite devs I don't want to see him get burnt out
Damn, I'm not used to you saying something normal and sensible. :LOL:

From start to finish, I take maybe like 2 to 3 hours. (Edit: Oh, wait. Maybe that's per update ... I don't know I never really time myself lol)

What if you just did a poll for both Patreon and on here?

I wouldn't know that myself. As I get sidetracked a lot and the game could be open for hours before I get back to it.

Nah, we should have the right to enslave our favorite developers, and beat them with a stick until they release the game we want. And just the way we want it.
Has anyone read Misery? Well, you can get an idea of what I mean.

Nice. I was thinking of it in those terms, also, just less intelligently (my math skills suck :LOL:). I bet you could get a really fair estimation that way, though.

I guess ultimately the most important thing is do players feel the releases are too short. I mean, considering the high quality, I personally am always begging for more. But, accounting for that, I think the playtime is perfect; does everything it wants and needs to do and more. I have a feeling most of us feel the same.

Neon's gone and released the inner Dark Guy in us all. And now? Now he gets the stick! And if that don't work, there's always the alley! :devilish::p:LOL:

You joke (i hope) but it does seem to be the attitude of people these days. I mean to some degree since forever (hence the King story) but, like, the internet made it seem to be the norm rather than the terrifying exception.

But circling back to playtime and update length, I'm not sure how to best explain that more is never enough. And that's a bittersweet but good thing.

Not gonna lie I recall when I was experimenting with some Nicki choices once ( before I knew dark path with patch was a thing) I was kind of an asshole to her and saw you get a different variation of some lewds scenes. Kind did like some of the rougher scenes just not the full on dark path stuff lol.

So, did you like the full on anal destruction I've heard about? We're all friends here and since the truth is comin out, tell us. We're all ears. :ROFLMAO:
