First time seeing renpy refer to a "discord_rpc"

Please just make this a full on VN and stop pretending its a game when everything that isn't character dialogue only exists to waste my time.
This "game" is 90% padding it starts off with heavy grind and quickly devolves into just sleeping and spam talking to girls to get to their events for like an hour straight.
The longer this has been in development the more meandering it has become.
I don't want to see cutscenes that are literally just regular scenes but you cant control them.
I don't want to see fight scenes that I as the player never have any influence over.
I don't wanna see characters crying and hugging each other in a heartfelt reunion.
And stop showing us the fucking MCs face. Is he modelled after the dev and this is some NTR by proxy shit??
Why the hell is he an autonomous character anyway??

The game might not be for you, I'm sorry.
There are lots of others good games that have exactly what you want.

In this specific case, I'm trying to do something different and/or unique, in a way!

But thanks for trying it out, anyway!

 

[WhitePolarFoxxx]

This a koikatsu game so the dev could shit out 30 different sex scenes all around the house in an hour.
Different positions, character outfits and scenes that are repeatable, that's the kind of shit people want.

Have you, actually, played Snowy Update? Because your description here fits to this.
Can't say anything about shitting out elapsed time though.

Please just make this a full on VN and stop pretending its a game

Ugh, you are wrong here. If dev decided to make a game then they have a full right to this.
Though quality of execution is a completely different matter

 

[doomngloom]

I tried using the search, but didn't find anything. so anyone know a way to skip the time consuming intros when you start up the game, so I can just get to the main menu fast? the first couple times or so you run it, it makes sense to have them, but after that they just feel tedious to me, and make me say "let me play already".

 

[Suee]

I had some busy days out of the computer, will resume literally today!

Any updates? The Trello page seems to have stalled, but I just assumed you were working in the background and just forgot to update it.

 

[Komisari]

Yes, update soon.

Snow update is just confusing.
If its set after chapter1 and chapter1 isn't done why does it even exist?
Its also even less of a game than the prologue. The images are much higher quality but that was never something I criticised.

You are missing the point.
The "game" parts here are so god awful and non functional they are detrimental to the project as a whole.
The guild system in particular is completely irrelevant even though its the games namesake all it does is generate miniscule amounts of currency in REAL TIME instead of ingame days for some reason.
These systems love to waste your time and make you wait ingame days even though the passage of time does nothing in this game.
You can just go and sleep for a week straight and nothing happens. There is no combat, no time sensitive goal just no adversity to overcome its not a game.
The only thing you have to overcome here is arbitrary grind walls that want tons of money and the urge to close the game because the map opening animation takes 9 seconds.
If scrapping that and just making a VN gets chapter1 out of before 2025 that would be good.

I know my comment might seem harsh but I'm done mincing my words.
Almost 2 years ago I gave this the benefit of the doubt in my review but seeing that literally nothing has changed since makes it clear what kind of grift project this is.

You to are also missing the point the dev just finished telling told you.
1. This game isnt for you, stop trying to make it so.
2. Many other games have what you want, go find those.
3. Kosmisari is trying to do something different and/or unique.

I didnt reply to the dev because its the expected canned response (I mean what else is he supposed to say) and I'm not looking to have an argument with him.
But wow all 3 of those points are actually the same thing and are equally meaningless.
You cant reply to me outlining why the "game" is complete dogshit and hasnt had any progress in 2 years by saying "lmao its not for you".
Dog feces arent food for anybody.
And no this isn't unique in the slightest.
This is literal cookie cutter WEG its just executed worse than others.
Idk maybe this was unique when it started development in the summer of 98 but now its one of a million.

Literally just go and filter games by 3dcg, sandbox, harem and you will find hundreds of games that are the almost identical but likely better because you dont have to grind for money by fishing.

It is easy to see that he wants money if, in more than two years, he has never paused the patreon... and he continues billing, well... I don't know luck for the simps who still have left... it is more likely that the dev directly disappear without saying goodbye, since even with everything that people ask of him for the game, he is still stubborn in "according to him" being a perfectionist, not having help, that no one can live up to his demands in terms of making animations or captures and blah blah blah, in short, it's verbiage, which in the long run will end up tiring, even those who today continue to support him tooth and nail... and the trello... is also still standing... well I guess it's working and it will not be uploading every second what progress it has made, but... could you choose a day of the week to upload those progress and that the community does not start to mistrust again, right?... Thanks Tuuri for uploading that compilation, did you know some, but I see that there is much more... is it a good way to say goodbye to this... game? project?... I don't know, but if it advances so little... and the truth continues with excuses... what hopes... I'll see what other games there are; And the truth is, the ones I've already tried are worth a thousand times more than this one... and they're progressing better, regards to all, and see you on the other side.

This dude here.

The day that Komi drops the mythological BS known perfectionism, is the day he steps on the path of success.

The irony of thread commenters who make posts like this is insane. Dude, relax. If all this is so meaningless, why are you so invested in replying and making remarks like this? You've been told a couple of times now that this game is just not for you. It's okay. You can just move on. Say your peace and leave. It's not rocket science.

People here shitting on the dev and saying there are better games... okay? Then what? There's way too much emotion over a free game done by a single person on a website dedicated to MULTIPLE OTHER games, made for everyone with different tastes and EXPECTATIONS. I can't believe this has to be reminded.

Sure you can be frustrated that the game is a slow progress, me included, but this is just devolving into unnecessary and pointless rambling on who can rile up the audience harder. The amount of grievances people have for how much he earns through willing supporters is absurd too. If people want to stop donating to the project, they can and they will. You're not their financial advisors and don't even try to pretend that you care. We all know it's the envy of the opportunity Komi has that you don't.

Komi is working on this project whether you like it or not, and if it fails, then that's on they/them. You don't have to roleplay as game journalists, defending the rights of porn Gamers™ around the world, fighting for the cause. It's not that deep.

P.S. there's a reason this game is so popular. It's a quality experience compared to most. We know a lot of the hate commenters will be back to play this when a new update is released. Absolute shamelessness.

Voicing your opinion is le bad
Lick the devs feet or gtfo

 

[Kantanshi]

You cant reply to me outlining why the "game" is complete dogshit and hasnt had any progress in 2 years by saying "lmao its not for you".
Dog feces arent food for anybody.

Serious question here. If that's the way you actually feel about this game then why are you even posting in here? Why do you care so much about the progress of the game to make a post if you don't even like it?

The only conclusion that I can think of is you just don't like Komi and want people new to the thread to see more negative comments than good in hopes that somehow you can turn people away from the game. Go find a cookie cutter game that you like and be happy or something.

Your reply is just as dogshit and meaningless, yet you do it anyways. See the hypocrisy?
The points seem the same to you because you don't put a single thought to what you read.
First point is stating that you are NOT the targeted audience. You're like a vagan complaining at a steakhouse.
Second point is stating what you like already exist but you're searching in the wrong place, you won't find it here. Like a kid hoping to find toys at a library and calling the books "dogshit toys".
Third and last point is stating the dev is trying to make something different or unique. Let's repeat that, TRYING, not IS. Have you forgotten basic English?
Also if you found "hundreds of games that are better" wtf are you doing here? You literally make no sense. The dev doesn't want your input, nor is going to change it to your liking. People won't stop playing it either just because you're mad, so what are you going on about? Go take a nap or something lol

Its not but I guess obvious hyperbole isn't obvious enough.

The only conclusion that I can think of is you just don't like Komi and want people new to the thread to see more negative comments than good in hopes that somehow you can turn people away from the game. Go find a cookie cutter game that you like and be happy or something.

The post I made here is literally my second time ever interacting with any of the devs projects.
I don't understand how exactly you think a negative POST (not review) on page 400 of a 4.5* game thread is going to stop people from playing a free game and how I would stand to gain anything from that but you are welcome to indulge in your delusions.
In a week my post will be buried so far that no human eyes will ever get to see it again.

Your reply is just as dogshit and meaningless, yet you do it anyways. See the hypocrisy?

Going "no u" really isn't the own you think it is.

First point is stating that you are NOT the targeted audience. You're like a vagan complaining at a steakhouse.
Second point is stating what you like already exist but you're searching in the wrong place, you won't find it here. Like a kid hoping to find toys at a library and calling the books "dogshit toys".
Third and last point is stating the dev is trying to make something different or unique. Let's repeat that, TRYING, not IS. Have you forgotten basic English?

Again replying to me outlining why systems don't work and are just time wasting by telling me I'm not the indented audience makes no sense.
My dislike of the story elements is clearly subjective but the game parts are just garbage thats no fun and only exists to waste your time.
That's why I suggested that they should just cut it out and turn this into a VN cause the dev is clearly more interested in creating a cinematic story with fights and cutscenes than a guild management porn game.
You are literally going "well some people like shitty games that have barely any content" yeah, ok.

Also if you found "hundreds of games that are better" wtf are you doing here? You literally make no sense. The dev doesn't want your input, nor is going to change it to your liking. People won't stop playing it either just because you're mad, so what are you going on about? Go take a nap or something lol

"Only positive feedback allowed" wow brave stance.
I linked to dozens of projects that are almost identical in response to the guy calling the game unique.
The part about those games being better cause you don't have to fish for money was clearly a fucking joke.
Most of those games are shitty time wasting affection grind games like this too where you spend hours skipping through repeating dialogue to unlock the new event in the kitchen at noon.
THAT is not gameplay. Its a visual novel that pads out its scenes with arbitrary grind. Its a dogshit WEG trend and I hope it dies real fucking soon.
I just find it particularly egregious here where after 3+ years and a total rework of the game there is still next to no content and QoL features.

Anyway this is the last time I'll post in this thread cause I already said my piece and I never intended for the drama to spiral out of control like this. bye

 

[Komisari]

That's why I suggested that they should just cut it out and turn this into a VN cause the dev is clearly more interested in creating a cinematic story with fights and cutscenes than a guild management porn game.

I'm interested in creating both. I don't like lineal pure VN's because you are reading all day and don't have any pauses, but I also hate games that have pure grind. (My personal preference)

So, I want a balance with Hero's Harem Guild. You can easily progress through the game without any kind of grind if you do things correctly, most of the people who didn't read or took any attention to the gameplay instructions say that HHG is a grinding game.

Most of those games are shitty time wasting affection grind games like this too where you spend hours skipping through repeating dialogue to unlock the new event in the kitchen at noon.

I'm so sorry those kinds of games, like Hero's Harem Guild, are not compatible with your tastes and your liking.
I would suggest putting effort into finding games that you actually like and don't have "grinding", there are a lot of great games on this page that have exactly what you want!

 

[deskt]

My guess is that is slowed a bit because they were finishing the patch for the Mac version of the holiday update.

yeah the game it's been in this state for 3 years now

It is easy to see that he wants money if, in more than two years, he has never paused the patreon... and he continues billing, well... I don't know luck for the simps who still have left... it is more likely that the dev directly disappear without saying goodbye, since even with everything that people ask of him for the game, he is still stubborn in "according to him" being a perfectionist, not having help, that no one can live up to his demands in terms of making animations or captures and blah blah blah, in short, it's verbiage, which in the long run will end up tiring, even those who today continue to support him tooth and nail... and the trello... is also still standing... well I guess it's working and it will not be uploading every second what progress it has made, but... could you choose a day of the week to upload those progress and that the community does not start to mistrust again, right?... Thanks Tuuri for uploading that compilation, did you know some, but I see that there is much more... is it a good way to say goodbye to this... game? project?...

I'll see what other games there are; And the truth is, the ones I've already tried are worth a thousand times more than this one... and they're progressing better, regards to all, and see you on the other side.

well the real issue with this game it's the dev himself He is the one who has taken the game to this stupid point that it seems more like a circus rather than a game
the guy spends 3 years making the same stupid mistakes, just to say that he's going to change only to do it.... again, at this point he seems more like a politician than anything: 'v, I have to remind you, that the full chapter 1 will not come out but rather a part 1 season 1? And even so we don't know when it will come out?
funny but komisari is currently competing against icstor and irphaeus to see who can put out some content after years of "hard work" make your bet who wil be the first
