So, it’s been four years, and the game hasn’t really changed in the way you wanted, which makes it a bad game for you, right? Maybe instead of complaining, you could just move on and let the folks who enjoy it have their fun. Have you thought about how your opinion is different from a lot of others who think the game is just fine? It’s got a ton of adult content, and yeah, the progression is slow with just Stephanie and Amelie, but there are a bunch of high-quality lewd scenes with them and others. I get it; I’ve had my fair share of frustrating slow progression games too, and I’m not a big fan of them either, but this one feels different. The sneaky lewd scenes, with the thrill of possibly getting caught doing stuff like blowjobs, titjobs, and tightjobs with those two characters are just so hot that it’s hard to say the game is just blueballing anyone.

I think it's not about the progress itself but more about the behavior of the dev with his empty promises. When he would've stayed true to his words we would get an update every three months instead of one per year. And delivering one per year brings way more frustration to the people who actually enjoy the content. It's just a little over 1000 renders which is a joke for one year. That's more of the issue if you ask me.

I don’t know, maybe it’s because I haven’t spent four years waiting for a game to drop each chapter. But it doesn’t seem fair to call the game bad just for that. There are so many other games to play in the meantime! The quality of this game is really good, so I don’t mind the late updates, as long as it keeps that quality and stays “alive” instead of getting abandoned like a lot of other AVNs do. I get that the dev doesn’t communicate much with his supporters, and we don’t know what’s going on in his life, but seriously, does that really make it a bad game?

I for myself only support devs as a patron (or whatever) that seem trustworthy to me. I am patron to some but Xenorav 100% is none of them.

I never ever said it's a bad game. Don't have a sig from it for nothing. Quality-wise one of the best games. Still: The dev is as lazy as they come and doesn't try to change his behavior. From BADIK I'm already used to at least wait a year for an update but at least it offers somewhat around 8000 renders or more (even though I still think someone of HIS popularity finally should hire people but I know he won't). When it comes to Xenorav my biggest issue is his communication that sometimes spreads false hopes and randomly he goes radio silent for months. Normally this game is bound to be abandoned at some point but as long as so many people still decide to pay he might make it sometime in 2034.

100% - I can see your POV. This is a legitimate criticism. However, some of the people are saying it is a bad update, which is just not true. And that was my point. Maybe the Dev is not updating the game as frequently as he used to anymore and that is a valid point, but there is nothing wrong with the pacing of the game.

Personally, I do not really follow devs very closely. As long as a game is not abandoned and if an update arrives, it's enjoyable, I'm happy. Up until the game was abandoned, I did not even notice the dev slowing down. Pretty much all the games I really rate high, are taking months in between updates (Eternum - 6 months, Being a Dik - 9 months, Pale Carnations - 6 months, Long Story Short 6 months etc. etc.) So This game just slotted in my other list that I play when a new update rolls out. I don't really care about Dev promises Patreon posts etc.

1 buyer + 1 dollar + time of development = profit
The better the game, the higher these numbers go. It would be great if time stayed the same but the profit drops if they give it away too quickly.
And it's a really good game.
I don't make the rules.

Not sure I read correctly, but you are asking how many chapters till the end?

I would say the game is past the hallway point. There are only 2 girls left to conquer (3/5)

Not sure how long the dev wants to continue the story once all of the ladies are you lovers.

But my guess is the game is between 50-60% complete. so maybe 15-20 chapters in total? and is now up to 9.

The developer suspends payments to Patreon when development is delayed. If he collects cream, it is from a fat cow, which he feeds generously with hay.

I definitely don’t agree with that at all. This game has been in development for over 4 years. Sure, people playing it for the first time now are amazed, but those who started back in version 2 or 3 and have been waiting for a sex scene with Amelie have been PAYING FOR OVER 4 YEARS just to get disappointed over and over again. Let’s not fool ourselves—we all know no one really cares about the younger cousin, and the middle cousin is only there to give you something to masturbate to, while they keep milking money with the Amelie cliffhanger. The game is good, but this practice is trash. No decent developer would approve of this, and we should be stopping it from happening.

Now the game is in version 0.9, and the last update will likely be the sex scene with Amelie, but then what? I would have preferred to see that first scene in version 0.8 and then have this and the next two updates focused on developing the story and characters further, with more detailed scenes. Not dragging it all out just to squeeze as much money as possible with a single final scene. As backers of Xeno, we should be penalizing this.

I'm not really into Dev drama, so I don't know the small details. I could be totally wrong and possible mix up different devs, but I think the dev is Russian and it possible relates to the Ukraine-Russian war. I did read his post about a month ago when I first saw the abandoned tag. Will link the post if I can find it.
