I'm calling it now, the next update will be 3.2x. 4.0 is not going to happen any time soon, if at all
Inno made it abundantly clear that the version number is no indicator of progress when the update after 3.9.9 was 3.10. It fucking regressed between updates, apparently.

You see, in decimals, 3.10 comes before 3.9, so 3.10 should be the earlier version.
I know what you mean, but I'm pretty sure that Inno is using the periods as a divider instead of an actual decimal point

Edit: it's meant to be read as zero point three version nineteen instead of zero point 3 point one nine.

Yeah, I know. It was kind of a joke, but I really do have a problem with this numbering, because then after 0.3.99, it's 0.3.100 and so on. You have no idea how much progress has actually been make because the milestone is always an indeterminate distance away.

Considering the lack of progress that has occurred, its extremely fitting though.

you know, she could have just come out and just blurt it out that she doesn't want to work on the game anymore, and people would be less mad about it
but here she is, keeps telling promises that will never be fulfilled, and i fucking Hate people like that. actually, i don't think Hate is enough to describe it.
But, then Inno couldn't get anymore money from SubscribeStar patrons.

And miss out on the payments from all the gullible people that still expect something out of this project?
She turned off comments on her blog because it became a pissing contest between her white knights and people tired of the constant excuses. Don't expect decent ethical standards from that dev.
This guy gets it.

Look, I just find it interesting how people thought Inno not posting in Discord meant they were actually working on this game. You guys are naive, man. As soon as Inno did this blog post update, they went right back to Discord posting.

Warned ya.
EDIT: Personally, I'm just waiting for them to release a version with outfit mods fixed to actually apply to NPC encounters in Dominion, like Muggers and such. Inno said they fixed that, when someone reported this to be an issue around some time last week. I'd be able to continue with my own mod developments soon after that version was released -- whenever it is released.

I'm also interested if you can provide examples of successful applications of that model for porn games.
Main story complete, and no further main story continuation (eg. no introduction of a big bad that's even greater than the official last boss, or no starting a story arc that rivals the main story in scope); just endless side content that manages to sustain the dev/dev team.

Hmm, thanks. It's been some time since I last played that, so I had to refresh myself on the specifics by picking it up again for a while.
It's somewhat different from what I was expecting for that model, since the short story arc that they consider the main quest is almost inconsequential. It barely matters that the main quest exists, let alone that it's completed.
The bulk of the game is the sidequest routes, so in essence the ongoing paid development is the "main development loop" rather than "post game-end life-support".

Compare that to something like (the proposed plan for) Lilith's Throne, where you'd get a full RPG-with-porn main quest that would dwarf any individual sidequest chain at least fifty times over.
If we actually got the complete main quest, we'd be able to have a full and satisfying gameplay experience from start to finish, with no loose threads.
That's why I was curious whether any game had managed to utilize this model beyond its endgame; it seems difficult to continue to attract sated players with the promise of ongoing content that would never top the already-completed main quest in scope or scale (and bearing in mind that this is a porn game, the events leading up to and including Lilith's defeat should also contain a ton of quality smut unless corners are being cut).

HTiH is a sandbox time-management game, whereas LT is (supposedly) a RPG. I'm not trying to claim that the experience of playing is the same.

It's the development model (or projected development model in LT's case) that is similar.
