I haven't played the update yet，just want to know how long I have to wait before the public version of 0.5 comes out？

Hard to say. I had some stuff come up that threw a little wrench in development and I'm just now getting back into things. It'll probably be at least a month but that's an extremely optimistic guess because I've only started building out the new scenes in Daz this past week.

I mentioned that I want to add in Nat and Sara's sim scene before the public release, those might end up just going in by themselves, they might end up replacing Candi and Hanna's scene, or I might add in one additional side character sim scene as well to help balance things out (probably Julia). But, all in all, 'worst' case, you're looking at three additional scenes added in.



I came real close to adding an option with that Ness gym scene that would've come close to this...

Unfortunately, I have to rein it in sometimes to keep the updates coming and I have to save some ideas for later in the game. I want to work something like that in for Ness pretty soon but with Sara I want to let her get a little more wild before I throw in the 'discipline' scene. Which won't take long because let's be honest, that bitch is fucking crazy. I'm still workshopping it a little but I'm planning on a scene involving both of them (and the MC) that sort of revolves around determining a hierarchy of who gets to dom who. That one probably isn't coming for a few more updates though.

JUST KEEP COOKING CHEF!!! KEEP FUCKIN COOKING!!!!

My MC would be happy to attend to that issue if under his own steam, but fuck doing anything Izzi or Qai are pushing them to do.

Flush the sims' influence from both of their systems and then we can talk. (But that's just me, obv.)

The work so far on this is amazing. But to do it justice I'll try to hit on the main plot points and the details that stand out so far.

I can only imagine how ambitious of a project this was to get graphically set. I love how you can switch between genres in the variations of individual sims between people. Each one works as a contrasting foil or an enhancement of what the personalities that you see in the characters in real life which make it so much more engrossing as a game.

The VR/AR component seems so perfectly relevant because we could easily be facing these issues in within our lifetime both with AI and VR/AR collaboration. These are very real "Ghost in the Shell" style possibilities but seeing it in 3D with realistically rendered models is captivating.

The moral implications and the premises being laid out with such depth and perspective enhance the game when you have their context from each person's perspective and brings a new pair of viewpoints with each character. Their ego and superego, if you will, all play into the narrative and are something the MC now has to navigate with decisions and repercussions both in their instinctive relationships with them and their life choices. It gets deep and I love it for it's depth in the scenarios presented so far.

As a previous player said,
" JUST KEEP COOKING CHEF!!! KEEP FUCKIN COOKING!!!!"

I look forward to what you are able to develop with the plot and appreciate the care you have for showing the facets of each character. The effort and depth are a labor of dedication and it shows through in the way they play.
