5 weeks. This is how long Innoxia claims to have been at work on 0.4.2.5. 5 whole weeks.
Two of the largest contributions to this update were from modders. Two others were for tags that will likely not see anything being filed underneath them in 2022. Several placeholders were only partially fleshed out with... less useless placeholders. Two race groups were also added, and I am in disbelief that these were not originally created by another modder originally. One piece of equipment was also added. Everything else had to do with bugfixes or fixing questionable decisions regarding content made years prior.
For once, I have nothing witting or snide to say here about this... whatever this is. Can we even call this an update? Seriously, what is this? I'm at a complete loss for words.
Five weeks to add a shopping district... Yeah, this is barely an update.
I think her problem is most likely that she is a serial procrastinator, and i've got a lot of sympathy (rapidly dwindling sympathy) for her there cuz i'm the same. In college I would always put off papers and projects till the last minute, then stay up all night and get it finished hours before they where due. If I didn't have a ticking clock looming over my head I couldn't/wouldn't get the work done, I think Innoxia is the same way.
Except unfortunately she is able to reset the clock at her own leisure, since she's the boss. So she sets her deadline for three weeks, tells herself she will work X hours a day on it (like a normal person) but never really does, then gets stressed and worked up over the deadlines. Ultimately ends up with not a lot to show, ends up pushing the deadline back over and over.
Just my 2 bit armchair diagnosis from what i've pieced from her discord and blog.
Her other problem is that she's a liar.
She lies *a lot*.
And lets not get into the manipulative bullshit like the 0.4.0 release.
I wouldn't care nearly as much about how lazy she is if she wasn't also a serial liar.
Oh hey. It's me. I am that person. That shit is fucking stupid. Of course, I also find the idea that every sexual interaction involves a dominant and submissive partner to be stupid. God forbid people just bang without mind games.
I blame Fenoxo. The ancient Romans too, I guess, but mostly Fenoxo. Both on general principle (seriously, fuck that guy) and because I'm fairly certain CoC popularized the idea of "penetrated=sub/penetrating=dom" as a convenient/lazy shortcut to adding another kink in the H-game development community.
Yeah, that is kind of a thing in the industry. I definitely don't think he started it though. That's shits been popular within fetish porn long before even CoC was a thing. Hell, before the move to be far more sex-positive in general, even the fetish community was full of that shit.
In LT's case, I think it's mostly just laziness. The dom/sub setup for sex scenes is obviously just lazy design. And following that trope that basically everyone else is getting away from, even Fenoxo's teams, is just lazy writing.
So what's the story with the feral stuff now? there's toggle. but I can't for the life of me figure out how to maake, transform a feral.
We managed a single *small* story update, and a single *small* relationship quest update in a year. And you're wondering if feral content has been updated?
Nope.
Maybe once modders do that work.
Pretty sure that toggle still does basically nothing.
