Is that a threat?
That though gives me a question? How is HHG safe if it survives an explosion of Argentina. If we assume Kommisari is from there it still let open another significant point. Who is gonna complete it if the work survives the explosion but not the dev? One could say, the work that already is done could be given to the community with a description of how the story has to end but how is the community getting that? It could be a Dead Man Switch or giving it to some relative but would that doing justice?
If Kommisari is not in argentina why should then be the explosion of it a threat to HHG?

I have a question about fishing. How do I use bait? Does the hook and bait automatically use itself if it's in my inventory? Or how do i attach it to my rod?

As long as you have at least one left, it will automatically be used if you go fishing, no equipping or similar.

I feel like you've answered this before but I couldn't find it searching through posts; any chance of getting any action from Narissa while she's small? (Or if she'll get her full size back before the story is ready to get sexual with her, a way for her to willingly return to small later?)
Good "fairy"-like content is pretty rare.

Really? Just as much work? There's no way that's true. If it was just as much work, we woulda had several actual patches already.
As I said, you decide which is more rational for you to believe. You are certainly welcome to believe that Komisari is producing bogus content. If you are supporting his Patreon, then it would be foolish for you to continue supporting him if you think he's just producing fake content to bilk you. If you're not supporting his Patreon, it's not clear that you're losing anything - his recently produced content divided by your $0 is an undefined amount and certainly no loss.

But I find it more rational to believe that Komisari is working on content and, if I find any fault at all, it's that he hasn't learned to effectively modularize his work into small releasable segments... in other words, he's trying to bite off too much at a time. I hope he is using this experience to learn to break his work down into small segments in the future.
As things are now, if he releases a version with lots of bugs, the same people who believe he's not really creating anything will criticize him for inadequate testing. However, I encourage him to produce an alpha version to a small group of people (not everyone) and let them help him bug test.

You mean besides the fact that Komi has already stated that chapter 1 is going to only be released when it's finished? If you read previous posts you would know that. In fact, I mentioned this only about 10 posts ago on the previous page. If you want to make arguments or begin a discussion or debate, you really should have the facts straight first.

He has actually admitted to this previously and wants to change future releases to smaller segments. I mentioned this is an earlier post (here).

However, I encourage him to produce an alpha version to a small group of people (not everyone) and let them help him bug test.
He has stated a couple of times in previous posts that he utilizes a 30 day alpha test with a select few players before releasing to the public.

Speaking generally, and not specifically for this game, projects tend to just die along with the original creators. Plenty of abandoned games out there, for many of them the developer(s) just went MIA. Yea, sometimes a game gets picked back up, but that usually only applies to HTML games like Free Cities. The vast majority of abandoned games, stay that way.

Even when you look at larger, conventional titles, often the IP dies in one way or another when the original visionary(s) leaves the company. Example, MGS and Kojima. Projects with strong creative vision are hard to carry on by others.
Let's put aside the minor issue that if "Argentina explodes" the world would have some serious problems way beyond the existence of some adult game. Even if some piece of art (book, music, game) is picked up, it rarely is the same as it was before.

MGS ist dying? And I can kind of support this statement and kind of not. I mean I see how WoW and Harvest Moon/Story of Seasons get feelable worse but the later is still kicking despite the original creator left it already October 2008.

Maybe I was too vague, but the "in one way or another" meant spiritual/slow death, too. Metal Gear Solid, specifically, hasn't done anything (we're not admitting that Survive exists) for seven years. And considering how bad Survive was, I'm not expecting much from Konami.

And yea, nothing I said was meant to be taken as a definitive hardset rules ("often", "hard to"). There are exceptions, naturally. It's quite possible, for example, that Kojima's old team, if they're still at Konami, can keep going just fine without him.

As for SoS, they're good games (other than Pioneers of Olive Town at launch), but they're basically just old school HM games with very little changed. Which I guess is fine, I played the hell out of SoS 1 & 2. So again, exceptions.

You have a point, still, it was an extreme example xD

Speaking generally, and not specifically for this game, projects tend to just die along with the original creators.
This is true, to be honest, if something happens to me I would prefer for the game to stay as it is. It's my first real personal project and I love it with my life.
What I'm about to say doesn't have any meaning yet, because there isn't any update to see how I see stuff, but HHG is all about a Town/Guild with different kinds of somehow special people inside it, who will have to help each other and, by one way or another, together, work on their own weaknesses and limits while facing some common adversity.
Anyone that wants to work with me or something when I'm searching for people, they have a completely different way to see the game and its meaning. For like 95% of people the girls of HHG are fuckdolls with no actual goals or weaknesses in them.

Yes, there is sex in HHG. Yes, HHG is a porn game. And yes, there are some scenes (for example the Shino ones) that are empty, and the girl is treated like a fuckdoll. that should not mean that I can't try to write an original or cool story with somewhat interesting characters.

It's hard, really hard to find someone with the same vision.

Honestly, I prefer the games that have a decent story. Games that are just sex scene after sex scene are boring. I might as well be browsing through a porn site instead. I want to see a good story, character development, good graphics are a plus but not a deal breaker, unique characters and assets and other things that flesh out the game (heh heh... flesh). So far you have all the boxes checked with HHG. Am I impatient for the update? Of course, but the reward for waiting will be worth it IMHO.

I'd just animate. Don't need creative liberties.
I've tried finding people to animate. The only problem with this is the camera position, fov, shadows and etc the people use. I always try to help but in the end it's like I'm the one making the scene xD
The only solution I would find to this is giving the person a base scene with the characters, then, the only work would be creating the timeline/animation, after that, I can put the camera position, lighting, etc, and render it myself.

For now, I didn't find anyone that reaches the quality I want for HHG. Not even in the Official Koikatsu discord server, and people are posting animations all day there xD
If you would like to try, contact me via discord DM or here!

Alright, let's go with facts then. Where is the update? lol.

Did you seriously just ask that? Have you read *any* posts besides your own egocentric writings? Well, and of course my reply to you? Have you bothered to browse through previous posts where everything is explained very clearly? I'm not going to lead you by the nose to the facts that have been clearly posted *several* times. Stop being lazy. If you actually are interested in the progress of this game and are anxious for a release then show a bit of initiative and find the information you are asking for. Otherwise you are just full of BS, want an argument and troll the forums looking for a fight. Grow up.
