So about to start this game...but by seeing this threads i guess an update is just around the corner? are the previous saves compatible with the upcoming update? if not i'd better wait.

Well, supposedly there was a vote on patreon to extend release times. Not a fan, personally, or at least not a fan of three month releases but what can you do.

Just tried this thinking it was going to be another game memed to fuck but the writing in this game is honestly quality stuff.

Full credit to both the artist and the writer, they really know how to make a good game together. And most importantly they actually make real progress rather than bitching about their sore wrists or blogging about their latest keyboard injury.

If you don't like waiting several months for updates don't play games with 2d art.
Seeds of Chaos updates monthly, Fleeting Iris about ~1.5 half months, and this other game with 2D-art called "Noxian Nights" also took about a month to update.

But yes, clearly, Kingdom of Deception updates taking ~4 months is completely normal.

It's not the art style that takes time, it's the size of the updates. So Noxian Nights had maybe 1-2 scenes or 1 larger scene per update, while this has more scenes / variants per update. So the patreon supporters decided on more content per update, which they've kept to so far. Note that I'm only comparing Noxian Nights, since that's the same developer team, since that's the only fair comparison for the development speed.

It's been a while, but I seem to remember Noxian Nights having 3-4 scenes in every update, which is pretty comparable to the amount of scenes KoD has per update. The change-log mentions 5 base CGs.

Agreed, the amount of scene based content in KoD added per month of development is noticeably less than in Noxian Nights. KoD has roughly half the sexual content of Noxian Nights per major update if you scale it on a measurement of scene to month ratio. This isn't to say they aren't a good dev team, but switching to Renpy has obviously slowed down progress on the whole due to the plug'n'play coding from RPGmaker being absent when they need to add new elements to the game.

Well, Renpy is worth it imo. One thing I didn't like about NN was RPGM.
