Well, I'm pleasantly surprised you would say that, because I felt like the update was substantially shorter than the rest while making it, because I managed to finish it before the planned release date, which gave me more time to add freeroams. I even added a warning about it on the text accompanying the DL links that it could feel shorter than the previous 2 updates. Then again, those 2 updates took quite a toll on me due to the heavy workload, so I had to slow down a little^^

The fact that I didn't have to make new maps (except the bathroom) might have given me more time to work on the scenes and dialogues, so that's why it might have felt shorter for me but not for you. Also, the scenes are overall longer than the ones in the previous updates, so that might have affected your perception as well.
The update didn't feel any shorter and I would wager that's because a lot happens in it. You definitely didn't send us to as many places as you normally might in any given update but you used the limited scope of the party in an effective manner. So while it may have been shorter the amount of scenes both sexual and not, the range of characters used, and the amount of story beats you went through makes the update feel quite full.

Hey N_taii, again with bug, i think that dividing into 2 sorts point of view is making this sort of bug. I`m saying about if you have partial POV and didnt see the scene between Duke and maid it plays anyway when you go two the second floor to the right, its even working when your camera placed in that position (for example when rose go to have a talk with duke while he is there with meredith). It forcing to play that scene anyway but when you go there as leto he just stays there in the middle of the screen, while when you play as another character (sorry cant explain it properly in english pm me i can try to do it if it necessary) during the cutscene for example, the camera stays zoomed in but we cant see the MC, but he is there

That does make sense, yes.

Thanks for the report. Did you use the new bugfixed version I uploaded a few hours ago, though? That bug should be gone in it.

I had a bug where I would go into Duke's Chamber and see him and Rose naked with him jerking off next to her even when things haven't progressed that far. In one scene, after Duke's flashback, there was Duke under the covers getting a BJ while the same naked Duke and Rose models were on the bed.

That's exacly what it is, one of the most commonly used argument against the series is that the gameplay is nonexistent, and while i don't necessarily agree with the argument when it comes to the game as a whole, it was definitely the case in this Update.
It was as close to a visual novel as you can get, which i'm perfectly fine with just to clarify, i'm just saying that one big reason for why the Update seemed longer than it actually was is because 70% of it was dialogue, 25% was scenes, and the rest 5% was us walking from one dialogue to another.
As soon as i loaded up the Savefile it was like:
-Dialogue
-"Talk to Rose"
-Dialogue
-*meanwhile*
-Dialogue
-Scene
-"Go outside"
-Dialogue
-Scene
-"Talk to Haylen"
-Dialogue
-etc.

Also there was another reason for me besides this one and it was the fact that my expectations in terms of length was low, i thought i would be done in half an hour but i'm pretty sure i've spent more than an hour playing the Update, to be fair that includes me wandering around the city looking for freeroam events and trying to figure out how to get to the Peacekeeper Tower when there are clearly none in the city, only to realise that the big ass tree i've been walking past by for the last 10 Updates is in fact...a Peacekeeper Tower.

Was thinking about the free roams. N_Taii, have you considered taking preexisting free roams and updating them as the women become more corrupt? Case in point the shower scene in Cyanna's apartment where she's giving Ulrod head. You could swap that to them having sex and change the dialogue a bit. New free roam, less effort, and it would show the progression of the game.

Although I don't talk about anything that happens in the game, I mark it as a spoiler just in case.
yea, but that means there is a reason to drop the $20 when the game is complete. And since it's always non main girls I think thats fine to have good bonuses for the people who pay.

That's the good thing, those scenes only involve secondary characters so you don't have the obligation to pay the 20$ if you don't want to, plus most of those scenes are designed so you don't know they are there and they don't influence the main story of the game either.

Although inevitably I think the time will come when the main girls will also have extra scenes.

Let's remember that in HC2 the main girls had a couple of extra scenes and some of them were very good.

To me it seems like a great idea, there are several old freeroam events that could be adapted while advancing the corruption of the girls, a clear example is that shower event you mention.

Another thing I hope you consider doing is to add back some freeroam events with the secondary characters, I don't know if anyone agrees with me or shares my point of view, but being a bit "big" map it feels a bit empty that only the 4 main girls have freeroam events.

I know it's a silly thought and surely the vast majority prefers that only the main girls have freeroam events, but I think that many opportunities to make good freeroam events are being wasted.

I don't really care for the secondary characters from the main plot getting free roams, but I would like to see more of the mini-stories getting free roam events. Like, say, the mom teaching math to the guy that bullied her son when they were kids. Instead of seeing the aftermath we see the sex actually happening through the window. That would be my preference.

I'd also kind of like to see "world building" in the sex. In Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door you can meet Luigi at Rogueport during the chapter breaks and he'll tell you stories of his own epic adventure that's happening at the same time. It's meant to be a joke of course but it makes the game feel more full. In HC3 I don't necessarily want random background characters to start just having random freeroam events but I would like to see some kind of story being told. I found one free roam during my run through of update 11 that I think explains what I want to see pretty well.

That is the kind of secondary character scenes I'd like to see. Just little nuggets of stories happening alongside the main plot.

I have a huge expectation about this game. I'd like to see how true love being crushing by lust and girls weaknesses, mistakes.
To put it another way, I want the game to be able to convey the full spectrum one experiences when someone you love betrays you. Denial, jealousy, despair, arousal. More psychology, tragedy and of course debauchery. More playing with players perception and feelings.
Hopefully the game plot and scene design will work on that.

Hey,

Just wanted to ask about your plans with the girls clothing, how far are you going go with them? Can we expect them to change soon?
I'm not sure what to answer to "how far"^^ Naked? Or maybe I'll stop at half-naked, very slutty outfits? One thing's certain is that I will need to replace their current outfits with something different at some point, because I can only go so far with making skirt shorter and cleavage deeper. We'll have to go sluttier.
Also, to my own shame, I only realized recently that I forgot to add the new outfits for Cyanna and Rose in Update 11, even though they're ready. Since updating the game's different versions and reuploading them takes a while, I'll probably add them in the next update instead.

Yup! The shower scene is already an upgraded version of Cyanna taking a shower alone and Leto walking in on her earlier in the game anyway. It wouldn't really be less effort though, as I would still need to make the visuals and the new dialogues, which makes up like 95% of the workload in most freeroams.

Thing is, the map might not feel less empty if I use non-important characters instead of the main ones. For every freeroam with a NIP char, I could have used a main character instead, although in some cases I might have to erase on of their old freeroam event. But if I feel like a NIP char freeroam might fit well somewhere, I'll add it.

Yeah, but in the case of the next upgrade to the shower scene it could function almost identically to the current one only instead of a blow job it's sex. Slight dialogue tweak, shadow of sex instead of blow job... I would hope that's less work since you already made a very similar scene. But then again I have no idea how RPGM works. :p

By "new outfits" you mean the new portraits or are you talking about a new outfit for their Sprites ?

I noticed that the portraits were missing but only cause you posted Cyanna's portrait around Christmas so i knew that they were ready. When i saw that they were not added to Update11 i just assumed that you wanted to wait a bit cause their current ones were added just before the manor event so even though for us it's been quite a while, in game these portraits are basically still brand new.
