Unfortunately, I doubt he has a viable long-term plan. Az works slow and follows the when-its-done approach. He's more of an artist than a manager. We're 2.5 years in, and the game is still in the introductory phase of the story. Unless he evaluates and completely overhauls the development process, HH isn't getting a completed tag.
Some people need the pressure to be off to step back, take a breath, and relax. Pausing the payments was a good idea and I wish other devs would do the same if they haven't released anything in a long while. We basically think that he got overwhelmed with meeting deadlines or release times, theoretical or otherwise.
Don't get me wrong, it was the right choice. I'm just pointing out that it isn't a panacea and has its own potential problems.
Pls dont feel offended but at least Halfway House dont have any branching paths anymore some could say the dev made it easy for himself and cut off all patch except Emily.This sounds unfair but it was clear at least for me that this game had 3 different Li's.I loved Samantha,flirty,no giant breasts like so many other "milfs" and she seems to be attracted towards the mc right from the beginning.I was really shocked when he announced that Emily would be the only Li and since then i lost all interest to play although im looking in this thread from time to time.Pls to say it again,i dont want to offend anyone and i dont think the dev is milking or something its just my opinion.
Was that ever supposed to be a thing? I wasn't around for the earliest chapters but my understanding was that Emily was the only LI from the start.
Well for me it was but i could be wrong.I played until the point where you jerked off on her Back not further.Only after that point sometime later i read that only Emily would be a li.Honestly i dont know if it was clear from the start but the interaction in game between the mc and Samantha didnt "told me" that she would not be a Li.
Emily right now is the only active LI.
Oh, that scared me for a second. So, there will still be sex scenes with Samantha, Ashley, etc in the future, but you just won't get some hypothetical "And then they got married..." ending with them that's never going to come anyway?
You'll still be able to mess with Samantha or Ashley, maybe even Nadia or Liz, perhaps even Piper, but the only ending we'll have, for now, is with Emily.
I'm totally fine with that. I always laser beam in on the MILFs in these VNs, so I was going to be a little upset if Samantha suddenly cut you off out of nowhere.
I am going to take it a little different direction. I loved this game when it first game out. I was very active in the forum and you can see by several posts here. As time went on, and the game continues to be worked on, I will check in from time to time on the forum, but won't post much as I don't see a reason to. The excitement is gone.
I'm not admonishing him either. If he needed time, he needed time. it's just the bad thing is the time taken has some away, others talk about the dreaded tag, or complain about Emily being the only LR, nothing we haven't heard about here.
They're just small 4-5 minute episodes that are not part of the story and the events are not canon. Not worth the time to "play" them if you want my opinion.
