I forgot about this game and god I absolutely love the renders. I think I already said that somewhere here but I'm in love with Raya, the renders are just exceptional

Funny, I downloaded this to see what they meant by comedic adult game, not knowing that the last update was from 2023, a year and a half ago now. I'm guessing that they wanted to get the steam version and polish personal trainer before coming back to this. A shame because Raya was becoming my favorite and the place we stopped with her is PAINFUL.
This game was hilarious. Not the funniest game of its type(That still goes to Once Upon a Lifetime), but it might be the second.

He's going on vacation, which is understandable. I'll keep my eyes on this, but the worry that it will be abandoned is legitimate.

Rant: Ignore if you get triggered by those.

Sad to learn that the dev went backwards to, what I would call, an inferior product - Personal Trainer. I really hope that In a Scent does not get put into the garbage with all of the other abandoned games with amazing potential.

I know many of these artists need support in order to finish, I just wish there was a better way to guarantee funding and results this way both the devs and supporters get what they want. I have supported many of these games and I just won't do it anymore. Far to many are money grabs or the dev is "no longer inspired" by that project. I will never say that a dev's responsibility is to their supporters over family/friends. That being said the bad apples have spoiled the bunch for me and while from what I can tell, this dev seems genuine. But how can anyone trust that? Why would anyone support them in this manner if they ghost the product that their supporters really wanted. In reality, if the dev had never started In a Scent and just went directly to finishing Personal Trainer, that would have shown that the dev has the ability to focus and finish 1 product from beginning to end without getting distracted with the "shiney new thing". It would not surprise me if the dev decides to scrap it and create a brand new project. All I know is that if I did support In a Scent from the beginning, I would have stopped supporting a long time ago.

End Rant

I wish this dev well. I mean no harm/ill will by my rant.

last time i checked he pauses payments for in a scent when he isnt working on it. so its not like he's isnt scamming or anything. I respect this dev and will just be patient.

Anyone who has ever been directly involved in making a game will know how stressful it can be. The pressure is tremendous and it never lets up until the game is completed which can take a long time. Especially if you do not have the resources to invest in the expensive hardware and models it may require. This business has broken more than a few dev's and even killed some. I can understand it they need to take a break to get their head back in the game so to speak.
Do I like it? Hell no, but the alternative is that they quit entirely. This could still happen. It has not been all that long yet as these things often go. I am usually very patient. There a lot of other games to play out there while I wait.
I also try to detect scams before I get involved to any extent. This does not look like one at all.

While you just guessistimate all these, he's had devlogs (posted in this very thread mind you) explaining everything, and no it's not being abandoned and being worked on.

He did have a kid just a few months back as well while also juggling a real job, while trying to do this side job...

Feel like that's every dev these days but such is life. Hopefully this game continues at some point.

Is there a point in the story where this idiot of an Incubus matures and becomes a competent Alpha Incubus. Its a fun story, but geeze the MC is dense.
