If I'm understanding correctly, you've gotta write all the cutscenes, then implementing them is another can of worms? Or is it that as you write them you implement them? Might be worth putting even a simple thing on the biweekly that says "Rough % of Writing Complete:" just to have that tracked as well.

Most of the cutscenes are already in-game and implemented, written, voiced, etc.
I'm just writing the remaining ones, is all (they'd have to be implemented/voiced afterwards, of course).

I'd add something like that, but in all honesty, as people already are getting confused with how many cutscenes are left per DMs I'm getting and messages on other places, I'd rather not add another variable in there to further muddy things.

Better to just get the writing done and then get back to cutscene implementation, IMO.

On one hand, sad that most of sex scenes are delegated to loss. But on the other hand, I will be supporting this because rarely do I see porn games...be an actual fucking game.
To be clear, all scenes will be only unlockable in the gallery if you get 5 out of 10 achievements in a level; additionally, a lot of special sex scenes are only unlockable through exploration or doing good/skillful things etc.

I'm still baffled how back in September 2022 you came to the estimation that one month was all the time needed to work on missing stuff for the game after release... the progress report then showed 53 remaining cutscenes, which must have been a lie because now 4 months later with apparently a lot of work having been done there's still 90 scenes missing..

I originally intended to still support/buy the game because of it's great animation, but the repeated missmanagement of scope and time makes me not wanna pay the remaining 10$ I would need for the full game. Too bad for me

The 53 scenes is regarding how many scenes I had left to write; the 90 scenes is regarding how many scenes I had left to implement in-game and make playable.

"Oh but it was going to be incomplete" But you know incomplete games won't get greenlit. You tried. So you knew it wasn't going to get accepted if it wasn't complete, so you knew it wasn't going to get released. Why? How? It just boggles my mind.
Because at that time, with no other options left, we would have been forced to release on platforms besides Steam to try and recoup some of the debt. Itch and other similar platforms don't have an approval process.

This was also detailed in the same posts that were posted numerous times.

As far as the previous release dates, that was just underestimating how much we had left, as well as IRL issues eating up more time than we had expected.

That's why we don't do release dates anymore until the game's complete.

on the contrary, it is good. Because now everyone is doing some kind of "friendly" illusion and you have to walk up to your enemy to get sex.

Bi-Weekly Progress Report #75 for Future Fragments

DISCORD
-
STEAM -
TWITTER -
FREE DEMO -
MORE PLACES -

All links are for those 18+ of age and older only.

-----------------

I do realize that after so many posts without images or videos or something of that sort, that it's hard to really tell that we're making progress outside of just taking our word for it.

However, like I've said before too, all the progress we're making is either "under the hood" stuff (programming) or game spoilers (story).

That said, once I start implementing cutscenes again, I WILL be streaming the implementation of said cutscenes like before, so you'll be able to watch those done in real time, at least.

We're still pushing ahead though and knocking stuff off our "to-do" lists one by one, steadily; the game is still on good track/making good progress.

Honestly, from what I've been playing when I've been testing out stuff, I'm really excited for us to finally get Future Fragments out, I think the jump from what the public/patrons have been playing to what we have now is pretty large, all around the board.

Hopefully, it'll have been worth the wait for everyone, but I'm pretty confident it will be from these builds.

We will see how far u go when the game released :) and what u did since u push the release time forward and forward and forward again. I hope, U added much more cool things and features to game since u delay the game. It could be a masterpiece or a disaster. Nowaday I keep my hopes steady and don't try to hope on games. If u follow the current games, U will get what i mean like cyberpunk 2077, gotham knights or suicide squad kill the justice. I can understand tho, u don't wanna share a gameplay video for spoilers and for other things :) I hope u will get a good hype so people stop looking at adult games just for sex scenes or wall of huge boring text and understand gameplay is a thing too :) Sorry for my english by the way it's not my main language :) Good luck, I hope u get good reactions and catch a good hype.

I think I can safely say there's a lotttt more content added since the demos, even being conservative about it.

Good luck, I hope u get good reactions and catch a good hype.
Thanks a lot :)

have any cheats? my gaming skill sucks
In the demo, if you get to the upper right of Path 6, Module 3, you can find some there; outside of that, in the full game you'll have to do skill based achievements to get cheats.

There's always Cheat Engine, though!

I've seen your posts on twitter talking about how npc's react differently to you based on your stats and stuff that you build up, and you mention specifically a "Sexuality" stat or w/e from completing sex with enemies. Are there cutscenes / dialogue that play out differently based on this stat as well? Like, are we going to see Talia eventually be open about wanting sex when talking to npc's?

Sexuality affects three things;

- The end-game endings, initially, are selected based off of whichever one of the other Ideals is your highest. However, your sexuality value, whether it's negative, neutral, or positive, will massively change that given "route's ending", for a total of 21 true endings. (There's also some secret events/endings that will need high or low sexuality.)

- There is a small, but significant amount of cutscenes that are directly affected by how much (or how little) sexuality you have.

- There's a powerup, the Dildo, which works better/worse based on your current sexuality value.

after paying for audio work, which also to be clear, about $110 of it is voicework, $30k or so to music, and the remaining $10k to sound effects and audio mastering).
What? Only $110 for dubbing the entire game? I'm going to need voices for my own soon. Would you be so kind as to advise where to find (not too expensive) voice actors for NSFW games?

Lol, this is why I hate typing on the phone.

Fixed it now, but it should have read $110k, as in $110,000.

As far as where to go, I'd always advise hiring for your casting needs, they were great to work with :)

"OS: Windows, Mac"
"How to run on Mac: use Wine"

bruh

If the game doesn't have a Mac version then just say it's for Windows only. It's already difficult enough to find games that run on Mac on this website. Wine almost never works (and it definitely didn't work with this one).
