Sorry, a clumsy attempt on my side to tease you about this module. :confused:

It was a beta test, the final version will be even better and only known by the prime tester and the four official paths testers before Chapter Five RS release.

Just a little more patience my friend(s), final tweaks are undergoing and the release of Chapter Five RS and all the previous RS Chapters will be worth your and our waits, believe me.

It will be huge and

As someone who has played the Amanda dinner scene, it's definitely going to ruffle some feathers. But only if you are the sensitive type. ;)

I'm not sure that it's a question of sensitivity (or about being french :rolleyes: ). It's so well wrote that if you are a bit humanist, it will leave a sore taste just to hear some of what she say ("say" not necessarily being a synonym of "thought").

But yeah, and probably better to starts saying it right now, it's a fiction.

What is said by Amanda is just words wrote by a writer and placed in the mouth of a fictional character. Not only it don't necessarily reflect that character personality (even virtual persons can lie), but it also not necessarily reflect the author thoughts.
And this obviously ease the impact of what can be said during that dinner. It can taste really bad in the instant, when you read it, but that bad taste pass quickly, because it's just a game ; and anyway you can express your own thought and object directly in the game.

You're better off waiting for CH5 Remastered to be released, it has all five chapters remastered.

WHAT?!! 'all five chapters remastered' . . .again!?! the first two chapters were just remastered!!
the last release/re-master was beautiful!! WHY? What's to gain? (except more delay...?)

Oh come on guys! you guys on the development team know what us poor waiting players don't.
Is there any chance this new 'five chapters release' (we've heard about for months) will happen at all?!

The last release was over six months ago. Honestly, Shouldn't this game be listed as 'abandoned'?

Jerry - and I am only saying this because I care - there are a lot of decaffeinated brands on the market today that are just as tasty as the real thing.

Begining to think some of the 'detractors' in here are just upset a better, more polished, better written game is coming and are trying to tear eyes away from the thread before it drops and sidelines their work...

I mean, I get impatience. I'm personally not of the opinion that all the decisions I've seen Notty make recently are really worth the candle, but again those are just my opinions. And after making a roadmap last fall, the production abandoned that roadmap both for technical reasons and to add other elements which may make the game better but have also delayed things to a rather great extent.

All that said, Notty's got a good game on her hands for real, and has also acted very responsibly as an entrepreneur regarding her Patreons, so I just sort of roll my eyes at people who seem personally affronted or upset by the lack of timely releases. There are other games I follow whose authors have basically scrapped their whole story to remake it more or less from whole-cloth, and have done so without doing the right thing in pausing charging while they get their shit together. I don't back those people, but I'm still backing H5, and not regretting it.

I don't think people understand just how many hats a game developer needs to wear. Writing a good story alone is a huge lift - requiring not just compelling characters but an interesting overall story. The pornographic writing is another skillset, the coding and rendering are completely different jobs. As is project management. To say nothing of marketing, budgeting, engaging vendors (such as voice actors), etc.

These are small businesses, and the dev is responsible for absolutely every function within it. If everything on the game is great, but the project management part of that massive lift is not perfect, maybe cut the dev some slack. Notty is definitely a bit of a perfectionist, and the game was fantastic even without the re-remaster - but I would rather have someone who is skilled at all of the pieces that affect the quality of the final game than someone who is an excellent project manager but weak in writing.

so as a new player, which one should i download?

ch.2RS or Ch.4 Remastered?
Click to expand...
game is going through remasters remaster :geek: .

ch.2RS is first two chapters remasters remastered so they are most up to date. Ch.4 Remastered contains much more content but its getting remastered.


work on chapter 5 is almost finished so we will be getting ch.3RS ch.4RS ch5 together soon.
i would personally recommend playing ch.2RS or waiting for ch3 , 4, 5 updates.
if you really cant wait you can also play Ch.4 Remastered but saves wont be compatible and you will forced to replay game when ch 5 comes out.

there are 4 remastered chapters but they are also getting remastered so now we have only first 2 chapters up do date. good new is that remaster of chapter 3 and 4 should be already finished and new chapter 5 is almost finished. we will most likely get these next 3 chapters very close to one another if not in on next release

if developer takes chapter down and then reuploads it with even small changes i would consider it remaster. i would agree that im much more liberal with use of remaster than most people. also i don't know better synonym to use
