No it's not a beta, it's the way it's released, part 2 will release later down the road.I'm not familiar with the update names of this game. I assumed it's something like a beta version. You answered my question anyway, so thank you

Where it says "myrepack" or "repack" pretend it says the Win/PC version of whatever you game you are doing.

Hot scenes with mom. I think there will be more (variety).

Let's take some "booty shorts in the neighborhood" shots from the two games to compare. All the small details in the first image not only take longer to render, but take longer for the artist to compose in the first place. Look at the grass, the bushes, the reflections and the curtains in the windows, the brick façade, and the dappled afternoon sun lighting in the scene as it filters through a tree we don't even see in the image. It's hard to compare facial expression in these two shots, but capturing or conveying the emotions on a face is some of the hardest work artists do. On the whole, the faces in In a Scent are much more expressive than most other AVNs, including the Laura games.
That's to say nothing of the writing differences. I've seen some comments in this thread that helped me realize that readers without strong English skill, and probably exposure to modern American culture, might not be able to appreciate how well written this game is. Even if it's silly, low brow humor, it's very funny, but still manages to swing into deep, thoughtful moments without giving readers whiplash.
It doesn't really make sense to compare the time to create these two games. They are two wholly different types of games.

If you compare this two pictures it's a very big mistake, because picture from Laura game is from the start of the game when on that time Dark Anu had weak PC and quality was 360p, now he has two powerful PC and quality increases to 1080p, so to fair compare need to select pictures from latest updates, or even better when Dark will convert soon Chapter 1 RPGM into Ren'Py where quality of renders at the start of the game will not be no longer 360p but 1080p, I believe my message was clear to understand.Right on. Played those. The art is pretty good even, but seriously nowhere near the same attention to detail that you'll find in In a Scent.

Yea, message was clear. You said there was almost no content in the update, and stated that for three months of work, it was nothing. dmgab replied that there's a lot of detail work done in this game and that the quality of the work is high. You reiterated that it's a nothing amount of work, because your friend puts out a lot more images in that period of time.
I'm suggesting that you not compare those two because they aren't in the same universe of quality. If you have an example of higher quality work in either of the Laura games that would refute my position, let's see it.

For now what Dark make quality is very good, I'm not expert to compare, so again, I will not change my opinion, content is not enough, only if this is part time job and hobby and work time was not three months I am totally OK, more than.
Comparing render count between games as a gauge of content is pretty pointless. It's not comparing apples to apples. It only makes sense to compare render count between updates of the same game.
I once did 50 renders in one day for Personal Trainer but I probably spent the same amount of time on 10 renders back then than I do now on one for In a Scent. It takes me an average of one hour to prepare each render.
The more important question is if this time investment is worth it

That was embarrassing. I'm sure not even his friend will be happy with this type of comparison.
Anyway.
Anyway.

I understand some might not like the humor... but goddamn Domiek cracks me up.
I can assure you this is a unique game. Try it and let us know.

I really like the MC. Reminds me a bit of Kuzco from The Emperor´s New Groove: spoiled, selfish, lazy but nonetheless a very funny dude. Don´t know if he´s gonna get some character development in later episodes, and I wouldn´t mind that much if he didn´t changed, but so far it has been an enjoyable experience. Definitely worth it.
