Won't happen, because the number of characters updated for each new version is adapted to the total number of characters.

Was updating 2 characters, now it goes to 3 or 4, so it doesn't slow down progress as you get to see a new update for a specific character in the same pace.

Ps : Also the highest rated games you're talking about saw the light during the Covid, aka the golden age of porn games, where everyone was willing to fap even on a monkey's ass at this time, so their data is outdated, the meta has changed. :HideThePain:

I think in general games that stick to the initial cast and have steady progression as in slowly getting closer to sex with more lewd events in-between do way better but the issue is that games now are funded by subscribers and give lot of updates in-between, making it more enticing to release updates with quicker progression and more characters. If you look at games like "the stereotype that only girls play healers isn't true" you see people constantly arguing over how the game feels empty, should've had more scenes in the initial zone before adding zone 2, stuff like that when all of those are issues that are simply just because the game is in early development and will get filled in over time.

So whilst releasing new characters with quick progression is nicer on a per-update basis, it usually makes the game less memorable in the long run because you probably already got to fuck your favorite character within 20 mins and now have 29 other characters you think are not as interesting.

Tl;dr more character with quicker progression is nicer for the production stage but generally results in a less fleshed out game once completed

Interesting take, but I beg to differ.

- The games we're talking about are either tagged as completed very quickly, or just take a whole year to have the classic handjob/titjob/blowjob/vaginal set of scenes available for one character.

- They don't deliver 80+ animations per year like I did. Maybe 25 at best. So indeed they'd better stick to their initial cast if they produce two 24fps animations every 2 months.

- Most of my characters get a penetration scene in the same update they're released in. Because I work like a machine, I don't want to deliver 8 blowjobs for a girl and make you wait for the next update, after a whole cycle has passed, so you can finally fuck this girl.

My workload can't stick to that simple formula. I'm eager to produce a lot of quality porn in a short amount of time.
The best to do with my game is not to be too emotionally involved with a LI as someone could change your top 3 characters very often.


PS : I need to reach 20 characters if we stick to the "4 characters per update" formula because it is a multiple of 4.
So we have 4x5 = 20 and we can have a clean cycle

Remember that the game start slow. Now each updates we got are like being in the middle/post game where everything should be easier to get. Restart a new story and you will see that the pace is acceptable.
Even if i agree with you that taking your time to introduce characters have greater impact (like Aunt's house for exemple)

Also, since the game uses Koikatsu characters would it be possible to customize the characters or is it impossible because it's not actually running in Koikatsu?

Stg if Koikatsu had a built-in game editor to allow for full custom experiences instead of one specific scene editor it would be perfection since it already has the best character customization.

Hello, great game i really like it. Animations are great, fights scenes are just fun to watch and i love what you do to these poor girls haha.

There is one thing tho, two animations just felt out of place. You usually do such a great job but i coudn't help but tell you.

One is with Megumi the last scene of the training task. Her body is a little weird in the first scene.

The other one is with Ingrid, that last scene on the rock. Her ass got a mind of it's own.

No hate, just my opinion, can be ignored.

Thank you for the great game and your work ethic. It's great.

Yo Vinkawa great update! Love the new characters. Really missed a Laura sex scene though. From what I understood, this scene is planned and was delayed so you could release early? (Reverse doggystyle or something?). You said there would be a patch for that scene, any ETA on that? Great work again

The guy who commissioned the Reverse Doggystyle said he didn't mind to have it for Diana instead, so it allows me not to delay the next characters.
