Where the story is now I suspect the minigame has something to do with the moving of May. I'm curious what it is, love it when a game does something different.
He's finally found a way to divide by zero...
Instead of sharing this mathematical breakthrough with the rest of the world he's busy slaving away at this game for entire minutes each month to ensure we, the players, have the best possible experience with each and every update. We're so blessed to have such a dedicated developer.
1: There's not much content guys, it's only a base for new events.
So, probably going to be more new characters with content for them, lol

It's so easy that everyone can do it, even you... Imagine all that milk you can get for no effort at all right?He's finally found a way to divide by zero...

Seeing as I also make smut games for a living, I do know how easy it is. And I'm experienced enough with Renpy to know roughly what goes into any given update for this game.
I'd love to take Caizer's approach to development, but this weird cricket that sounds like Cliff Edwards shows up on my shoulder and calls me a piece of shit whenever I try to do that.
Should I consider asking Caizer what brand of bug spray he uses?

The lack of a developer tag on this profile should be more than enough to tell you I'm not going to answer that. Also that's a personal and off-topic question that should've been DM'd to me if you were interested, refrain from derailing the thread even if inadvertently.

Also that MC proposes to come and live with him. That's it for this update and for this game quite big steps, starting to become full house.

Since you made a statement of making such games for a living and obviously doing better than this creator I just asked because I would like to compare your creations. If that is derailing the thread, then you did embark on doing thatl the momment you made that statement did you not? If you make smut games for a living, then hide what you make on a site such as this seems odd...
Unfortunately, Caizer is one of those devs who uses their game as basically real programming practice... there are a bunch of complex systems he uses that could be done with simple scripts, but he opts to use actual code for them instead. Not sure if he's using this as practice for a better job or if he just derives some enjoyment from it. See School of Lust for another example. Fortunately for my part, he doesn't mess with any of the base systems that I need to be in place to mod games the way I like, like some devs do, who basically do a bunch of complicated shit that you just have to figure out what's safe to delete entirely or what variables to instantiate to just make the stupid thing run like a Ren'Py game (see The Hard Way, Agent 17, Lust Hunter, etc.).Seeing as I also make smut games for a living, I do know how easy it is. And I'm experienced enough with Renpy to know roughly what goes into any given update for this game.

God forbid he do it to hone his skills and become better at what he doing right? Or maybe he already got a skillset so it just fall natural for him to work that way. End of the day what matters is if it works or not. There is enough games around where the creators excel at make spaghetti code and have to rework their games over and over to make it coherent.
I'm a bit biased, as I play every non-unity game on here with the game on my left monitor and the scripts/assets open on my right monitor... I've been playing these larger adult games since like 2013 when every other offering was a buggy unplayable mess, and the rest were unconscionable grinds, and when you figure out that you can circumvent someone's terrible scripting/systems design and save hours of your own time just by changing a few lines, it's a gamechanger (literally); so I guess it's a bit of a mindset thing.
Plus you wouldn't believe how many devs either forget to provide labels to access content that's available in a release already or have a path you have to do some convoluted shit to get to (like comment that you DIDN'T like a characters dress in the prologue, peek on them in a dressing room in chapter 1, and click on their shoes with a hidden hotspot in chapter 3, and it gives you access to a dress-up scene in chapter 5 or some weird shit like that lol). Sometimes devs intentionally include unfinished content and make it inaccessible--that's not what I'm talking about here. Also I don't wanna play your game 3 times to see all the content so a lot of times I'll just merge paths so they can be done in a single playthrough; I've got better things to do with my time.
Plus I like to correct grammar mistakes, etc. as I go along and if you've got some like some massive, convoluted system setup to basically do conditional checks, I just kinda can't help but roll my eyes a bit. I'm a "shortest distance between two points is a straight line" type, and if I see someone building an obstacle course for themselves between the two points I shake my head.
I don't see the oddity of someone not connecting business matters to their personal account on a piracy site. The only reason I even brought it up was because you made the insinuation that Caizer's somehow exempt from criticism because nobody can do what he does, on a site populated by many developers who do exactly that.
And honestly, compare the average update for this game and basically any Renpy game on this site that uses weekly releases. You'll notice Caizer's updates are consistently smaller despite having quadruple the time between releases, most of what he's doing is superfluously fucking with the backend to do basic functions. Not to mention the code's super unoptimized and needs constant revision because of it.
I mean, he's not improving if that's the intent, and it barely works, so it kinda matters. Dude's basically serial abusing Renpy with how he codes shit.

I never said he was excempt for criticism. There is a far stretch between being a critic and just lashing out and throw insults at a creator though.
Uh.. weekly releases? So what games on this site get weekly releases?
He release a update on average monthly that put him quite up there compared to other creators. The updates is consistent and have just about same amount of content/work done from time to time. Which can also point towards time available he got to work on this.
Also, anyone can claim being and doing whatever, but unless they can actually show to something, it doesn't really hold any more merit than the next one commenting...
A lot of games have weekly releases, do you not check the Latest Updates tab? For example, ArcGames' Corrupted Kingdom (in a timely coincidence it just had a new update posted for the tab). And most crowdfunded games work on monthly releases for that matter, I don't see how Caizer's noteworthy in that regard.
You get 12 updates a year (like most games), but each update consists of just adding arbitrary grind and some dialogue, plus a couple of scenes with little if any sexual content. There's around 3-4 sex focused events added each year and they're very short and the sexual progress is nearly nonexistent, I'd pretty confidently put money on not getting past third base until at least 2023 at this rate of development.
You keep comparing Caizer to other developers but I'm not convinced you have much exposure to other developers given the things you say in that regard. Also you really need to learn to differentiate between criticisms and insults, nobody you've responded to in the last several pages has insulted Caizer (interestingly you didn't respond to someone who did flat out insult him).
