When does .16 become a public build?
Well lets look at a few past releases as a reference and just assume it will be about the same. .13 went public July 12, 2021, .14 went public December 11, 1921 5 months later and .15 went public April 8, 2022 4 months later. So if I had to guess when it would be out I'm going to guess next month sometime. But like I said this is just a guess based on previous releases.

This one seems to be running behind the normal pattern, but there were a lot of new things being added, and trying to develop new characters and new locations takes a lot of time.

Wait, why are you making theories about the release of the next update, I mean Runey is literally active and actually shows up here. So there's no need to worry if Runey is developing it. So there's no need to put pressure.

It's not like Runey went AWOL on us like Icstor. Also, HH looks perfect as it is now, no need to put it in Daz or something. I'll be pretty horrified if the characters suddenly look either too realisticly rendered beautiful, or realisticly rendered horror. The style just won't be the same.

Aye, he has, and obviously the other asks of updates aren't ideal but it also shows people are excited for more. I know I have been.

As for the guestimates; fellow professionals both effectively saying "past is prolgue" and "next updates seem bigger based on known data" are also perfectly valid and wouldn't surprise me either that both being sick and increasing scope would add some time between updates.

If you think this is applying pressure then that's valid and fine, but if anything I feel it is a way for friends and fellow professionals to help keep the pressure off as even 'on known previous cadence' still means a month or so away even without the increase in scope so easy to say we are no where near a release.

I.e. "It'll be out when it is done and ready"

As for other devs; I'm not sure if Icstor had a year's worth of releases not to mention the multiple year span of releases that HH has... If anyone has been able to prove staying power it's been Rumey.

No one is seeming to wish or want a redesign, but other artists should be allowed to remix and remaster for their own talents and enjoyments. Even if only as an exercise in doing so.

I'm not anywhere nearly as good (I'm a code guy not an art asset guy) but if someone is inspired then again only compliments.

It's impossible to get to that point without seeing Sylvia before. You must have forgotten, or run into a bug unique only to your download.
Well, okay. But this has been a very rapid replay. I have a *lot* of saves; when does the sidewalk thing happen, in terms of levels? I might be able to correct my understanding.

**In previous versions it worked well for me, now I try to open the game, the animation appears as far as it is lyn at the door and after closing... Curse. **
You might need to update your video drivers, or codecs.

** Es posible que deba actualizar los controladores de vídeo o los códecs. **

I just miss understood I thought the .16 released to pat. members was the .16 release didn't know .16 wasn't done and I guess I got my games mixed up too was thinking pat. releases became public releases 1 week after pat. but that may have been another game judging by the backlash I got just for asking the question

The early releases for supporters start off being one event at a time, or less, as the update gets completed.

Another discontinuity:

Cornwall has issued his challenge and Ellen has informed me that she's received a letter. If I talk to Ellen about it, the game sends me to Lin, who immediately requests her sister's advice, and Jin appears. Except that I haven't purchased her sister yet.

(Lin's at 22 and I don't have a level for Jin, obviously.)

I think Jin visits to give the advice if you haven't bought her at that point? hard to remember as I usually avoid story events while I get the bar up and running enough to buy everything.

No need for speculation, I've made Development Posts before every single update announcing the new features and estimated public release time. You've never had to pay to read patreon either.

That is how it worked last time I played that scene....which (admittedly) has been a while.

Iirc … the text in game covers this…

The “visit” and subsequent training with Jin for Lin has nothing to do with or is in anyway tied to the purchase of Jin.

Its a VISIT by her more experienced sister to facilitate her training.

I would guess that in your save Jin has not appeared in Lin’s room to talk to & she probably isn’t available in the dungeon either… she just got a day pass from her current owner to visit her sister. Like when you give Lin a pass to go to the grocery store or like when you send Lin and Android to the cafe to help out Autumn & Sister when their dad is in hospital.

In my admittedly shoddy memory…I am fairly certain that you don’t even have an opportunity to purchase Jin until after the training visit… because it’s further in on Lin’s quest chain that she asks about & discusses Jin’s living/ownership situation and then she unlocks for purchase…I could be misremembering the exact ordering of the story/quest steps.

Yeah, exactly. This happens even before she was available to buy. IIRC, you can't buy her first. At least that is how it was when the update first came out.
