haha that's what I thought just didn't feel like I could defend Lucy without playing her path :) idk where people are getting she is an alcoholic from saw someone mentioned that in a new negative review of the game today as well.
Lucy is anything but alcoholic - she's fun, cute and caring and, the most important trait, she is absolutely loyal. great combination. thus her path looks more natural. saving her for later though)

I don't know man. jllkfsdj is trying to rile me up, I don' think he was serious about it. The others I believe projecting it. They have a type they don't like and they are projecting that to people, in this case characters, so they can justify their dislike. Most people don't like sluts, right? Check it how many of them saying slut, whore etc. regardless of the character's background when they dislike them. :unsure:

Though it's just my a few cents.;)

yeah I agree she is my next planned path to play Charlotte is still my favorite. Just cant decide if I replay the game now or wait for Part 2. Was originally gonna wait for Part 2 to play the update but idk if I can wait anymore one of my favorite games after all lol.


I felt like this update was very short
it's just 1/2 of the update. DB didn't finish in time or something so released 1/2 of it instead of not releasing an update I believe.

Quick summary for you guys. DB is getting burnout. Iirc, he had some irl problems with family or something. Then he is getting tired of creating this game, since it's been 4 years. You can feel this within last a few updates anyway. So he is taking a break and hoping to come out with a plan so he can finish his job without getting burnout and stay loyal to his initial idea.
Now, cut him some slack because anyone's creative juice can run out after focusing on something for 4 years. Cool?

this right here and honestly it never felt like DB took that long of a break when DB had some bad IRL news. So not a surprise DB need an actual real break.

You guys can come to the WVM thread after you finished smoking the copium to see how this shit is really going to end... :KEK:
Hard Pass I know you didn't like this game by your review but some of us actually do like it and are understanding of the dev's situation / reasoning no copium needed.

It's not copium though. We can see the dev getting tired of it but there is an explanation about it. Getting some time off, creating a plan how to deal with it etc. and we choose to believe it. Is there a possibility of this game getting abandoned? yes like all the other games, there is. Is there a possibility of not getting same quality? There is, because anyone can run out of creativity. But believing the explanation does not make this copium. I have no idea what's going on at WVM but Hillside staying on positive side.

The same thing... the same excuses... here it's just starting... you guys just don't realize it yet... and are still in the copium phase... that's what makes it so funny... :KEK:
That's exactly what I am saying though. As you say, it's just one incident for us or the beginning for you. Not losing hope for something so early does not make it copium. Copium would be trying to make up excuse for already lost cause. There is nothing lost here, yet. We can take another position depending on how it will unfold but going on full toxic mode at this stage is not the right attitude. I know dev reads these posts, making all these negative comments is like kicking him while he is on the ground. He paused the patreon already, taking precautions also, trying to come up with a plan too why would I doubt his words at this stage?

Looks like dev surely has hit the creative block cuz the update was lame and boring. The story progression and character development slowed down so much. Also if it was v0.15 half, then when will the other half come, on Christmas ?

It's better if he takes time off to figure things out be it his personal life and then decide how he wants the game to progress.

After playing this update and keeping in mind DarkBlue personal issues, I think it would be wise to cut the daughters from the romance side of the vn. Emma has plenty of screen time with the MC but sex is not present at all. Whatshername has no screen time, no point in wasting any development time there. Lucy and Charlie are the ones with some romantic shit involved, just focus on moving forward the main story and make one ending for each of them, The End.
Being honest I would scrap any sex bit present in the game and sell it on Steam as a non-sex vn at this point.

In my view, the update was nothing out of the ordinary. Unfortunately, it only has a few good moments. The storytelling is very good as always, but nothing came of it. No scene with Charlotte that did anything useful to advance the story between them. Sure the little teasing from her was okay. I hope we see something more in the second half.

As long as no "abandoned" marker is attached to this thread, we are in the "green" area.

And as the saying goes: hope dies last!

I would also suggest adding "Beta" to the name of the thread. The dev himself wrote that the first half of v0.15 is not final.

-lack of musical accompaniment
-lack of player interaction options
-and in some scenes there is still a lack of attention to detail

Can't believe I waited all this time for basically nothing. This game has been going on for roughly 3 years ( i think ) and there has been 2 kisses and a few boobs.
Dissapointing is what it is. For all of you who will say "it a slow burn yada yada" there is nothing burning,there is not even smoke or embers. I had more fun on a recent law exam than playing this game
