Frack, the male humans are easily the most boring thing in their games.
Also this is the first time where I seen someone say that they made the art for the scene but somehow failed to make the scene itself instead of the opposite.

Overall it was really buggy and simple stuff too like a missing image or a misnamed one, I really don't know how they didn't catch some of those issues. The repeatable scenes are okay. But they really need like 10-20x the amount of scenes per update for it to be even close to worth it, even at the lower patreon pledges. It should be easier for them to update now that they have those art assets made, but I'm not holding my breath.
Yeah based on what they've shown off, it actually seems like coding and writing are bottle necking them right now. Which seems like arguably the easier to resolve. I really don't know what they've been doing this past year.
I don't really agree since it seems that they are working on a lazy mindset, they only set out to make a single update and work slowly or stop to get that minimum goal. Many other devs like N_Taii, Sierra and others work on their project a lot and make content for further releases but leave that in their dev buils while releasing single chapters, showing that they unlike hreinn games, are working to finish their games.
I actually agree. I don't think anything will change, but it really should now that they have those art assets already made. Given they've already committed to lower scene quality, we 'should' see more scenes in future updates, just at a much lower quality than the earlier ones. I think it is a lazy mindset and I think as long as they have it, the game will continue to suffer for it.

"coding is a botleneck"
You know what that means guys!
Remake in another engine incoming, will give em excuse to prolong this even longer.

Guess they should just have stuck to RPGMaker if they were going to have so many issues with Ren'Py

This post triggers me on a spiritual level.
It does sound like a slap in the face when combined with all of their previous hype posts
i feel sorry for guys who pay for this shit.....

The dev said to backup your saves before using it, you're the one to blame for being too lazy to read, just saying

Here's my mini review of the update:
I thought all the stuff in the town was pretty bad. Humans are the least interesting part of the game, and the writing here seemed worse than normal. It also looked like it was full of unfinished placeholder assets - reusing one of the npc human townspeople portraits, the two recoloured thug portraits, and just straight up using the brown purple orc hands for their groping mini-scenes instead of taking a moment to fix that. If you told me that this had been put together at extremely short notice I would believe you.
The stuff in the orc camp was much better, it reminded me of one of the older updates before things started branching out all over the map. We've finally gotten back to the tents and the status quo has actually changed a little bit. I mostly liked the scenes, even if the repeating art still doesn't look great.
Also adding a quest log is great, the game has desperately needed this for a long time. If this had come out in a resonable update time I'd probably give it a 5/10.

If the part about "half of the art we did didn't even make it into the update" is true, then I'll atleast excuse Nomo. While yes, he did lower his standards and, according to his own statement, "went hard" into investing in lower quality art (repeatables) he atleast does his job, which is creating the art which we all play the game for.
The other members of the team tho... I feel like Nomo is being scammed and/or doesn't care.
I don't have much experience in neither programming nor writing, (I mean actually writing stuff down. In my head I have 1000 possible stories that just wait to get written down, but alas, I'm lazy af) but if the art gets done faster than the writing, then you're either lazy as fuck or know that you can get away with not working on it at all.
And maybe I'm wrong here, but the programmer doesn't have much to do outside of adding the art+writing into the game at this stage of the game right? I mean, the systems are all in place and the infrastructure of the game is set. There's no excuse in the world for not having all scenes (that are done on the art side of things) in the game yet. And after almost another year between updates, you (the programmer) have the audacity to even make simple mistakes like forgetting to put an image in the correct place or not linking it correctly (wrong name in the folder / wrong name in the code)? The update was delayed by half a year and not only is NOT EVEN HALF of the updates' content in the game, the parts that ARE in do include major (but simple) mistakes like this?
I know neither Nomo nor the other two watch this forum (And with good reason probably). But ffs Nomo if this message ever reaches you, you probably have a better chance of turning this sinking ship around solo than with these apes on your team.
Edit : This time I really am pissed. Pathetic.
