Yeah idk, they could have just released the update with the pre-reworked art to be honest. Then wait for some feedback on the art and then either rework or leave it as is. Now Nomo is feeling sick and they have nothing, which makes me wonder if the update was ready to be released in the first place.

Man, I only want to laugh and fap at Sabia failing upward in the orc camp. It sure is a tall order.

Would you be interested in an Orc calling Sabia a bitch 50 times in one scene instead?
That's a far too reasonable solution for them

If only you'd said this six years ago...
Hi,I almost get through whole game and looks like only thing I havent properly finished is that part with imprisoned Vehlis.
I get the image " "Talk to Jeran about Rukh and Vrog." and then help them with whoring Vehlis isnt good thing to do (even if she at first says it serves her well to know what orcs hates her), because in later interactions shes simply pissed off as MC and it doesnt look like it would end well.
Is there any better way to end this quest?
Thx

Can someone give me a quick update on what's going on with the game and/or the dev? I've played this when it first came out, it had potential and I've recently 'rediscovered' it
Not much is what's going on right now: several years ago, Sierra Lee left as the coder/writer of the team. Since her departure, the timeliness of updates and quality of writing and art has slowly slid downwards. Nomo is still the artist, but the team implemented redoable scenes that were supposed to be base assets for more/quicker scenes but have instead become a significant portion of each update's art. The updates are now split up by quest, so where there used to be ~2 updates a year with multiple questlines we now see ~2 quest lines per year. Nomo has recently announced that he was carrying a secret illness that has majorly affected the team's ability to produce, but take that with a grain of salt as the team has always had more and more "mitigating circumstances" around update times the last several years.

There's a noticably large numbers of hgame devs that seem to be cursed with every imaginable plague and forced to stop their work, then you have guys living in ukraine like the last barbarian devs who's constantly churning out content even tough his city keeps getting fucking bombed and has relocated a few times already...

The only logical conclusion - living in western countries with donations constantly pouring into your wallet is more dangerous for people than living in a warzone..?

It's even worst, next month will be a COMPLETE YEAR without a complete update... its just sad at this point
Total degradation of quality, communication, and a clear milking of patreons. Hence the reason why this is just a shit posting thread with the handful of people that are so far out of the loop they think awalkthrough is being made for the latter portions.

The biggest difference is the actual profitability of this kind of enterprise. Westerners spend millions each year on crowd-funding platforms like Patreon and SubscribeStar. Those game devs in Russia and Ukraine make many times more money than Western devs due to the difference in the currency exchange.
To put it in perspective:
- $1 USD is worth 80.29 Russian rubles or 29.43 Ukrainian hryvnia.
- $17,000 USD = 1,364,953.80 Russian rubles or 500,303.20 Ukrainian hryvnia.
- As of 2020, the average household income in the United States was $64,530 USD or $5,378 per month. Meanwhile the average household income in Russia was $10,690 USD or $891 per month. The average household income in Ukraine was $3,570 USD or $298 per month.
It actually surprises me that people still sub to their patreon despite there being no update for roughly half a year. Somebody really has to warn those poor souls before they are in a for bad surprise.
