Never thought I'd fap to old-school GTA. I'll try my best to, anyhow
Well they really hit rock bottom with this one. Going silent for more than a month and then blaming it on the medical condition on one of their staff members. I mean I am not subbed to their patreon anymore, but I would be quite annoyed if I was at this point. I member them saying that they would speed up the patches but they would only be a quarter (not 100% sure about that one) of a usual patch and it feels like nothing has changed. Updates rolling out in the same time frame as usual and you can literally notice no difference.
What really impresses me is that there are still so many subs believing in them.

This looks anything but encouraging for the future. Artwork aside, what an unflattering angle to see sex from. And the fact they decided to claim 30 different scenes here as a few samples & will revisit it is awful.

Hey guys - this is where we are at: The main quest for .14 is almost finished being compiled and should be out very soon - we'll be moving on to the bad end questline conclusion after this one. Compiling this one took a bit longer than anticipated due to some medical commitments from Nds restricting his available time. While he is working on it, Nomo and Monsinne are working on the next quest. The Bar scene we did in .13 was very large - and the scene we've done for this quest is even larger. It has a ton of potential permutations and we'll be making use of it in the future again. It has multiple backgrounds, differences & changes for dom/sub, and a ton of different poses and positions. The pics in this post are just a few samples for now. The quest itself is pretty big - the scenes themselves are almost twice as big as entire quests used to be. We hope you guys are excited to get to play it because we're excited to share it! Thanks everyone!
You'd have to have a really solid dialogue to pull this many scenes off, & I wouldn't be surprised if that's just as lackluster. Maybe the next update for 2024 will be better.

Judging by past few updates? Unlikely we'll have good writing to supplement the garbage that is top-down modular sex.
I genuinely hope they lose 50% of their patrons over this, but I know they'll probably gain some for whatever reason.

Tomorrow is february, if their number of patreons changed we will see in a few hours. I do not want the project to end, i just want the developers to wake up and start working better on this. Nomo art is what kept the project alive, let's just hope he acknowledges that other people are not contributing to this as much as him. It is what i would say if he did not start doing this modular stuff. doing what is basically a copy & paste and managing to do even worse is just sad.

Having a fit warrior is apparently too unrealistic, gotta make her a fucking bimbo.
That's a double sin cause they just made her a bimbo without even a proper bimbofication/slutification sequence. It's a lose-lose
I've said many times before, i can't draw anything to save my life and i also never studied art any more than necessary for regular schooling. So there will be people a lot more knowledgeable than me on this matter, but i couldn't help but notice that even tho human art has a history dating back tens of thousands of years and it kept evolving with us through space, time and cultures, there is still a distinct lack of organic art styles that depict anything from 100% top down.
Now, as an amateur i propose the idea, that this phenomenon can be explained by the simple fact that it looks quite ridiculous to an average person.
Of course, some things, especially in porn, can look great from a top-down view: women on all fours, a BJ from a POV angle, etc. but for those to work, the subject of the picture needs to be big enough for details to show.
I'm consistently less critical about the simplified art style than the average of this forum, but looking at those pictures, i honestly had to check two or three times to be able to tell when Sabia was standing or kneeling. In a few cases i had to double check to see which way she was facing, because i couldn't tell her ass and tits from one another.
But I'll admit, that this new perspective gives them a lot of options for scenes. From a top-down view, it's easy to arrange simplified art to represent characters and with a bit of limited movement or some small sprites of clothing removed a lot of different scenes can be arranged. Now, if only we could view those scenes from a better angle after they are started... You know guys, like an RPGM game where the default mini characters move around and when a scene starts a really talented artist draws something sexy and cool to make the action look better...
Are they seriously spending 4-5 months to create the feeling of an RPGM game without the added quality art?
While we are at this, topic, 5 months after the release of the last patch they are just finishing up the "main quest" and more to a quest that is a bad end and can only be viewed if the player intentionally messed things up? A sexy bad end can be good and there were already a few in the game and the last time they did it with Kira, everyone here said that it was sexy, but they wish it was not tied to a game over.
So again, the main story quest will have sketch art only, the second third of the trio will be tied to a bad end that most people skipped over already, they are breaking their own record of "most words in a quest" for a 4th time in a row and 5 months of development went to imitating the worst part of the RPGM games in Renpy.
Oh, before i forget, this main quest is once again a build up for something interesting to happen in the future. For the 5th time in a row.
Seriously, Hreinn: you are working too hard. Just get Nomo to draw something simple and hot in his full quality style with just the basic variations, nothing extra. Limit Monsinne to 2-4000 words at most and for the first time in 3 years, don't invent a one-off new mechanic to stretch NDS's abilities and free time to it's limits. Push this out in 30-40 days and prepare your soaps and towels because you will shower in more praise than you have seen since 0.4.
I'm getting a headache just typing this all down.

Counter-point: Patreon money comes regardless of what they do, so they'll never bother to improve or stick to a semi-tight schedule. gg no re
To clarify this, the Monsinne guy has a bimbo fetish and i think a big patreon who hangs around in their discord server likes that too. Nomo probably got influenced by those two.

I hope this is true cause it highlights just how braindead the devs are.
People your comments are wrong yes, the arabs are morons yes, Sabia looks like a doll yes, her tits have become bigger but but but She has never been a warrior warriors in this game are Neve Avion Kira Tekrok Lutvorg they are warriors and Sabia is an impudent bitch from a rich family of developers can be blamed for many things but the fact that Sabia is not a dominant character and not a warrior is obvious well imagine the house of Sabia and the minotaur funny it just so happened that the players see her as a more submissive slave because even her domination over the eyes is more like a stupid performance imagine an eye under 3 meters with a weight under 170 kg obediently obeying a girl such a picture does not add up

I assume this is translated, so I don't know how well this will reach. But Sabia defeating an Orc of a large size is not unreasonable.
First, at the start of the game, we know she lacks magical capabilities, so she focused her training on physical prowess, which is why she was skilled enough in armed combat to take part in numerous raids/campaigns and defeat orcs in single combat. If someone had spent much of their youth on the battlefield, they'd be skilled, fit, and have the mentality of a warrior.
You need to look at this beyond "Big good, small bad", there's more to fighting than size, while she is smaller, she is faster, has better technique, and takes a more thoughtful approach to combat as opposed to an orc going "ZUG ZUG ME SMASH" as the game establishes early on with the raid system.
You can't just say "Well, she's a small woman surrounded by orcs, so might as well make her a bimbo who can't defend herself against anything since big = strong and small = weak. That's an extremely primitive way of looking at things, my dude.

I just hope that these top view cutscenes are just a small part of some kind of mini game to diversify the game play and other scenes will be well rendered.
i think Nomo is from the baltic and that NDS is from the US, no idea about Monsinne

I think he wrote the post in his own language then translated it to english, the 'arab' thing is 99% a translation error, but it's pretty funny.
I highly doubt it, they seemed to push it as the 'main' piece of content, so it's more or less going to be the centerpiece rather than an accessory.

Yes, you're right, more does not mean better, but I meant mostly scenes from the game are extremely funny when a woman commands a partner who is able to separate the head from the torso with her bare hands without any weapons, put an orc and sabia in the ring without weapons, even if he does not move, her blows are unlikely to cause serious harm and yes, as a warrior she may not be bad, but she will not dominate over Kira over Neva over minotaur over tekrok over kia it's not even about strength, but the character of how the game positions the characters
And not the Arabs, but the developers, alas, I do not know English so well
