While every other dev seems to report ambigious issues in development and then delay proposed release dates by a month or more, the absolute chad Domiek is out here sharing specific details about the issue and then giving a release date that seems even sooner. Love it, will have to donate a bit to his Patreon now.
That's very nice from him. Yes, there are only few devs that share reasons why is there a delay. There are many devs out there and they deal different on this matter.
The mad man actually did it!
I respect your work, I played you previous game too (game was good, end not the best, rushed) even if it was sandbox. My last sandbox is now underway, "Sweet Affection", when it will be finished (cca 2-3 years from now, I play it because it was one of the first games I played. Pretty text heavy, but I still enjoy it.) Now I play only VN. I don't like freeroam too, its bit better then pure sandbox, but not much.The mad man actually did it!
Thank you!
I still enjoy it)
Thanks for the kind words! We've got some steamy Selene content this episode.
I try to be transparent about technical issues/delays and not really get too far into the personal stuff, which 2022 had more personal bullshit occur than the last 5 years of my life combined. Sometimes the personal stuff becomes a black hole time sink, but everyone's heard enough of devs and their nonstop excuses. It's also another reason why I don't announce release dates until I'm almost done with a release. I guess it's better to undersell than to disappoint fans.
After chapter 3, I'll gather my thoughts and announce my plans on how I want to tackle the long development cycle.
PT was my first game and I was focused on learning the technical side of making the game and didn't put much thought into the story outside of a very rough outline. I made the newbie mistake of being too ambitious with the scope without understanding the work involved. Even the initial first few releases reflected more of the types of games which were popular at the time aka repetitive scenes to progress, etc. I Learned Daz, then switched to Octane render engine then eventually spent 9 months learning the basics of Blender which is reflected in the last two lengthy updates you mention. I went from pumping out tons of fast renders using random daz premade poses and expressions to learning how to manually do everything myself. Manually doing everything takes significantly longer to set up a render, but the result feels more organic/context specific rather than trying to force some random premade pose/expression to fit.
Thanks for the kind words. The writing in PT was more of a silly afterthought since I was focused on the technical side. For In a Scent, I spent a couple of months writing the story outline and major plots while reading books on story structure. The writing is still not great but at least the story should be coherent. My goal was to convey each scene without bogging down the player in walls of texts.
Thank you for your time. Things are much clearer now. I knew that "PT" was your first game (let's be realistic, some devs can't reach your first game wit their second or third attempt.) Don't be to critic on yourself. Ok, not too much, some self-critic must be, otherwise there is no progress in your ability. You managed to jump two or three steps in your skill between your games. Remarkable.
You know I had to itThe mad man actually did it!
. Glad to see you keep up the good work man, this is the first game in quite a while I've enjoyed to this level. It's made me laugh and horny at the same time.
Look at this tease "Based on the last Patreon post, the update may be here". Why don't you tell us what he said eh???Based on the last Patreon post, the update may be here
No sharing/swinging. For just two releases thus far, there's a relatively high amount of content in-game. Multiple well-animated scenes (handjobs/titfucks/blowjobs) with main characters, the last update ended on a cliffhanger ahead of vaginal sex.
