I was a patreon supporter for this game a few updates back, and the writing was on the wall even at that time, which is why I stopped supporting the project. Until this developer loses a substantial amount of patrons I don't foresee there being any improvement. He was working pretty hard and releasing a good amount of content per update and then when he met his support goal, surprise surprise each update had less and less content and excuses started pouring out. It's unfortunate, because I really enjoy this game, but this developer is absolutely milking his patreon supporters and is putting in the minimum amount of effort to keep taking their money.

Save-edit or repeat certain scenes, I think you can grind lust off Cenvir but I'm not sure.

What a drama about a game and their devs. Keep up the good work and you can beat the drama about SS. I'm so glad we have so many justice warriors, armed with a endless supply of keyboards to fight the war until they drop into a coffin and pass the justice torch to the next person. =3

It was more an argument about the current state of Patreon and the inexcusable work ethics people put up with and defend despite being objectively wrong. If you wanna dismiss and ignore an actual threat to the very ideas of responsible accountability, transparency and functional consumer-provider relationships that's fine though. Looking away from a steadily increasing negative trend is the best way to deal with things.

just a random bystander. the reason why we have so much milking going on is because summertime saga who is on the front started milking patreons by slowly delaying releases from 2 months to 3 months then to 4 months and finally 5 months and half a year. Everyone who sees this shit will like to do this too.

Why does Krystal move so slow, even when running. Makes the game so slow and tedious to play especially the internal monologues constantly.
I remember the playshapes game had a lot more porn and none of this bullshit grinding. This is like a remaster nobody asked for.

It's just really easy to do if you cater to any niche. This game specifically caters to furries but Summertime Saga has a variety of fetishes.
Sex sells in general though, and since updates are so few and far between most of the patrons are ghosts, that is, they've forgotten they're being drained of $5 every month and don't really check anymore. It's really easy for an amateur game developer to see money before anything's done and just... sit on it. They're rewarded for not working essentially.
Anywhere else there would have to be some kind of direction, deadlines, and project landmarks to reach. Kojima got fired because he was rebuilding every project he worked on at least 3 times from scratch and because of it most MGS games feel rushed halfway through, along with other rumoured stuff. Revengeance wasn't even finished properly because he changed the scope entirely twice, it was an RPG, then open world like Zelda, then Devil May Cry but by then Konami had a gun to his head.
There's no such accountability or pressure on Patreon or Steam's Early Access although you're more likely to hear complaining and criticism on Steam for some reason and also more progress because Steam has refunds, you're also often seeing people, indie devs, who have external Publishers that'll pressure them to meet deadlines.
Yeah.. I dunno why it's like that, they made the map more linear but she still moves super slow.
The dragging the cauldron thing to the waterfall is SUCH a chore.

Wasn't he just guiding Platinum Games? I read that he had nothing to do with this game, some freshblood folks just wanted to make a game where you are able to cut everything and they also wanted it to be a Metal Gear Game.

As I understand it he was directing it, so he had a lot of say on what went and didn't, same with MGSV, until the very end he was still hands-on so choices blamed at Konami can actually be traced back to him. Including the horrible rape tape in the paid-for demo, which came out before the rumours of him leaving Konami began to surface.
He's been since stricken off almost everything Konami has on him.

Holy shit this old thing eh? I remember the first time this project was abandoned and it was a flash game. Fuck it's been a while. I guess it's time to bust it to some Fuzzy tiddies again.

It doesn't have a lot of content but what it does have is decent, except one CG that was added last update.
It's just ugly and doesn't fit into the game at all.
It's hit that point where all updates are super small and super delayed, and he's getting really lazy so now is the optimal time to download it and try it, you won't be missing much till he abandons it.

That's kinda fucking sad. Here I was hoping to go all nostalgic.
"OH YEAH BANKRUPT ME BABY, GONNA JIZZ HOMELESS TONIGHT"
For real though some kinks are weird but they do what they do.
It's a shame. The game has a good start and lots of ideas for development, and the humor is great, adapting well to conversations between Krystal and other characters. The art is fantastic, flowing animations and watching Krystal give in little by little makes it very attractive.

There's quite a few scenes, don't worry too much about it and just play the game without my jaded opinion haunting ya.
I got a solid several hours of fun and I go back to it every now and then to talk to NPCs and have some interactions.
I can't dig back to the little scene guide I made on this thread because I'm on my phone sadly or I'd repost that.
None that I know of personally, but surely there must be some.
Usually the person given the wallet will not go that far, realistically unless you find a super big scumbag it'll end without someone dead but I suppose finding that scumbag is part of the thrill.
