Either them being completely stupid or the sheeple decide what's best for them through members-only polls and whatnot. Possibly both.
Who knows... At the end we can only speculate. At least I, because I don't have the patience nor the will to deal with their information policy anymore. Which was basically "eat or die" when I left their patreon/discord 2 years ago.

Art packs, Variant Scenes and Progress on Next Update

Variants and artpacks have been released for the appropriate tiers - if that's you, hope you enjoy them!

As said before:

Art Pack: has the scenes from the previous update in High Res quality when possible, plus sketches and some art Nomo did to the side and the Variant scenes art. And goes for everyone above and including 15$ tier.

Variant Pack: Has 3 non-canon scenes as in game scenes with writing in a special KoD client, those scenes were voted by the 15$+ patrons. They are included in the Art Pack now as just art, however the special client with the scenes with writing goes for the 25$ pack.

For a quick update on .14 - most of the first quest is written and expressions implemented. It centres around Sabia trying to recruit forces and setting up for her fight with Kira and Jasmine, based on information she got in the previous update.

It is going to end up being one of the bigger quests we've done, somewhere around 35-40k words with an interesting new scene perspective we're excited to try out! The quest has evolved a little bit, and the captain content that we had intended to include in this quest is now going to be included in the next partial release. This is for two reasons: 1) the quest itself became larger than we first planned, and 2) the captain content plan also expanded from what we originally had.

The plans for both the bad-end questline conclusion and the tents questline currently remain the same.

Thanks everyone for the continued support!

Don't be sad when nobody fulfill your demand for the new update, they probably do it for your own good and on the flipside, you're in for a free patience management class, too :KEK:

I mean, their dev cycle was so slow somebody got the time to get into college and got their degree

Just recently I decided to give the game another shot and I have been wondering if Sabia had some plastic surgery done, or maybe it's just the human body can't "expell" all the orc milk from their body.
Ngl I liked her older proportions over her new ones.
This is the quality Hreinn puts up these days and (probably) going forward down the line as they spent another year with minimal content and communications, which has been going on for quite a while.

So yeah, disappointed and generally burnt out with whatever bologna sandwich Hreinn presents on the table is a pretty common thing

We've now reached levels of "I can copy paste the same thing six times" undreamt of.

I get that art is hard. But the difference is staggering, checking the first CGs you had better anatomy, better details, better composition. The first Neve scene is astoundingly superior to the recent output (imagine an era where the boobs weren't 15% of the body mass).

The GTA2 perspective after... whatever the hell the copy&paste repeatable scenes is... well, amateurish.

I'll just upload for you a file that I made for myself on yesterday's stream (just like a note and sketch file from Nomo on his streams) (ps. High resolution file to see what's on the screenshots - just zoom in if someone needs it :) )

As you can see from the screenshots - There will be many new sex toys to try out on Sabia in prison)))

Remember when they switched to the shitty art and told people its so the updates will be faster and everyone cheered. Now the art is bad and the updates are slower than ever.

Thank you Deefrost and Azazin!

These are quite interesting pictures to say the least. For one, these are apparently for Vehlis-prison quest, which was not scheduled to be the first in line, so Nomo is already drawing for the second or third part. Plus we might be getting goblins. Even if it's in a bad end arch, that's their first inclusion outside of the bonus scenes. And apparently Nomo is still full of new ideas he wants to try, which is a very good thing for the longevity of this game.

But...
At the same time this definitely looks like either a new mechanic or at least modular scenes and i"m fairly sure i read it in Hreinn's post shared by oshkoshdorosh that " we'll likely not being doing any more modular scenes like this due to the time and headache involved in it "
What is the stat so far? 2 out of 2 or 3 out of 3 for modular scenes to add +6 months to the development, right?

And once again the first thing we see from a new update is a simplified / modular art. Don't get me wrong, i think this one can be used to illustrate very good scenes too, but how will this pay off the effort? I mean, so far the simplified art gave us scenes inside tents and bars, which have a lot of casual and non-committed uses. But this new one is in a prison setting. Will there be more story lines or bad ends where Sabia is imprisoned? Or will we get a chance to explore or visit prisons in the future? I mean, if it's not used multiple times, then the assets don't need to be modular...

I'll have to see more news to get what's going on..
