At Runey: That you started putting the new content into separate folder helped a lot. Thanks.
As I see the direct content of the game I have a question for some time now. I know you did some trials to make animations as clips (.webm)
What was the result? I know you dropped it as there are only single pictures in the recent updates and no more clips. I would be interested why? I was expecting that a clip has a smaller files size compared to 34 single quality images. I see sometimes people complain about the game size and with 10GB it is a goliath for an VN. I have fast internet and a Mega account so it is not a problem for me, it is just that I am interested in why the experiment with .webm failed.
Renpy can't handle webms well at all. Each time it loops, it will stutter. And each time it stutters, the stutter gets even worse. With raw frames only, the stuttering doesn't occur and the quality is as best as can be. (By the way, the animations are mostly all 24 frames)
But the only thing reduced was the sex needed in the story driven parts, since there is still a lot of sex but it now it is on the side and optional as new repeatable content.
If someone started the game and was hoping for a simple sex simulator then I guess at the beginning they were getting what they were hoping for. Especially if you skipped text you had sex scene after sex scene really quick. But after some time when you get involved with the girls and they bring their lives and problems into your life, it changes a lot. In the story driven parts that are needed to progress there is much more text (and with that time needed) between ich porn scene.
A lot of optional sex is added now, but that is also in addition to sex in the story. This equates to more sexual content than was ever added in previous versions. Not only do I still aim for 1 lewd story event every 3 - 4 non-lewd story events (as was preferred by the players), I also add in content like Lust, Exhibitionism, and Dungeon content. As well as new repeatables which constantly get unlocked in the story, and Freestyle mode. The stories have certainly gotten longer, but it is a shame that some people don't see the extra work I put in.
Story relevant for progress has now a lot less sex. For example, the trip to the high elv island took a lot of time and you only had one sex animation with the Queen. The trip to the desert elvs took also some time but has no sex animations. We also have now required story parts like the stories with the land elv queen. A lot to read but no animation.
But there were a lot sex animations added each time. As I mentioned I check the new added content directly and there always are a lot of sex animations. You are just not forced to see them as they are added as side options like dungeons, outfits and so on. If you only progress the main stories you don’t see them. If you use a Mod it will only show you what you need to do to progress the game. It does not tell you that you can now invite XX into the dungeon.
The boat trip to Syl'iath had two sex scenes. One with Lin on the boat, and one with the high elf queen. I also don't believe that content is specifically required for any other stories.
For my part I like all the character’s and the game turned out to be a great mix of story and ero.
For me it is like a book where I always want to know what happens next but also has stimulating animated visuals.
For people who really only want to have the sex and as little text as possible I would suggest to try to use Honey Select directly. It is also offered here in the forum.
With that you can have sex with only girls you chose and positions you decided. You can also change the angle and view to your preference. This is really not for offence but only as suggestion for people who tont know it.
Exactly, this is what some people - specifically only on this website - expect from apparently every game on this website.
Which may I remind everyone that this is a pirate website, people are probably here with the intent to take things for free which cost money, if you don't like something just move on, it's free either way and highly unlikely you were ever going to support the developers anyway. (But here some of us still are, interacting with you). Some people on this website are the most spoiled people I've seen. They want their cake and want to eat it all too.
Anyway, there are plenty of games here for everyone, all of them are different. Mine happens to include a lot of story comparatively. Honey Select is good for a fuckathon game like you mentioned.
And thanks for your feedback
