tldr; Put out a new build of the next chapter to patrons. Currently it stands at 887 new images, and three new animations. I've gotta clean some images up here and there and build out the last bit of the chapter, but I'd say the initial release is no more than two weeks away.

Good render. Can't get hyped over it though. Am just missing Gabby and Mason.

Not much content for Carolina yet, but she is already my favorite and I hope there will be more content for her in the future.

I think you quoted the wrong person.

He's removing the age selection. The taboo patch adds the dark path and incest too

I don't know if there's a translation error or what going on, but you keep misunderstanding my point or telling me what I already know. Taboo patch adds age selection for a few characters -> he's removing this option from the taboo patch -> I don't want him to remove it. That's all, really.

What I'll prrrrrobably do is just leave the age as a variable, and if someone wants to they can just edit that variable to be what they want. This is one of those things where I've honestly had more people complain about it than tell me they like it.

Ah ok, nice compromise then! Although still a little unfortunate. I'm guessing these dark and risque games stir a constant wrestle between public perception, artistic integrity, and satisfying kinks or w/e, and I get why this particular option has gotten the execution order and why it's not a hill you've chosen to die on (though am honestly confused as to why people can tolerate virtual grape, yet virtual age selection is too far). I just hope other optional things don't get removed too at some point if enough people end up voicing their dislike I'll always support the big picture, though! I trust you've decided this is better for your game long-term and game's too good to get weighed down by ultimately minor stuff.

I misunderstood, I thought you were saying he was removing the whole patch.

887 new images? At first I thought it would be a small update, just to finish what was left pending from the previous one (dinner with Ashe, and something else). But 887 new images (and counting, I guess), is not a joke.

Honestly, the complaints were usually more mechanics-oriented. Like, "Why can I set her age to 99? That's dumb."

And the answer is that I never wanted to set a specific age range, because that would imply that I was okay with someone potentially setting it at the lower end of said range. But like I said, I think it just makes more sense for the story to remove it and make the affected characters 18.

The main exception being Mason, who asks MC how old he wants him to be. It'll still be removed in a potential Steam version down the line, because they're prickly about such things. But, I feel fine with Mason being canonically 20, but willing to say he's younger to please dark-path MC.

When do we get 0.4 release man

That shouldn't be a thing. Some dimwit pedo will do what they do and then could end up reporting you for that. Patreon don't play.

It's not in the Patreon version.

Best I can do is 'soon.'

Just...

You could fix that at 18+ for the Steam version, I guess?

It is always good to cover your bases. You never know when some asshole with a grudge can try to denounce the game to Patreon or later Steam and them you have to rush to make the game up to their demands.

Mason being 20 and Viola being 19 is good for me too.

I kind of like how there's no clear majority on a favorite character. Just shows that each of them have a different quality to bring to the table.

Oh, I see... well, damn, that makes it seem even more silly to me. So not the moralist crusade, which is understandable to me, but the autist one, interesting; I didn't expect that lol. The answer for those people is clearly to set the age to a reasonable number, problem solved. But no worries, decision's made, I'll learn to live with it

I misunderstood, I thought you were saying he was removing the whole patch.

Okie dokie, no worries
