The only thing I dont understand ( i see this quit often) if you are a dev and you know your limitations ?? Why adding more and more people and path instead of focus on main story of ann or whatever.....I've discussed with him a few times about doing smaller, but more frequent, releases. The idea is not off the table.
The problem is that the ree-rees will piss and moan regardless. They will expect the same amount of content he puts out in 6 months in a 3 month window, for example. I've seen it happen to other devs who gave it a try. I still think the smaller, more frequent, release cycle is the way to go, though. People who want to wait to download until there's substantial content can do so, while everyone else can play sooner.
Your main distribution channel is the "latest updates" tab on f95. If your game appears there too often with disappointing amounts of content, that fosters a ton of resentment. You won't see it in comments, but it's there.I've discussed with him a few times about doing smaller, but more frequent, releases. The idea is not off the table.

Indeed, beggars can't be choosers. Sure I personally want more frequent updates as well, but you can't always get what you want. Especially if what you want isn't realistic. I'm willing to wait either way. This kind of feels the same with some authors on webnovel who write the novel also as a passion project. One author in particular, he even wrote some chapters while doing his bacholor's or master's degree in uni. Sometimes he doesn't write because he's too busy. I may not like that but I'm not gonna complain that he should write more, no I wish for him to succeed so that I can read more eventually =Psome of that may be true, but you gotta understand, many devs do this as a passion project. They have their jobs, their families, whatever. They do this in the little free time they have. Most of them can't make a living out of it. We get what we get, especially here, where it's free.
I don't think having 5 LIs is all that much. This game would be so boring if it only focused on Bobblehead and Slutnessa. The problem is the distribution of content between them had heavily favored those too. Any other girl in the game is plot advancement, I suppose, and offers content for non-NTR players. Amber with Mario. Angela with Grandpa. Ivy as an alternative to whatever Ann would be doing with guys while on campus. There will probably be more side chicks (hopefully hot ones) that Chris will offer for the sharing deal. Those won't make much a difference because they're one or two-offs.The only thing I dont understand ( i see this quit often) if you are a dev and you know your limitations ??

I see this often which devs who have limitations but thna have like 10 love interest inatead 1 or 2 ....
Or they start add more and more cheracters.... which they cant develop...
I don't think most sensible people would complain about 3-4 times per year.Your main distribution channel is the "latest updates" tab on f95. If your game appears there too often with disappointing amounts of content, that fosters a ton of resentment. You won't see it in comments, but it's there.
aye the branching can be a bit much, not enough time to satisfy everyone with the content they want. I like most of it, different situations and perspectives, all good. But I have my favorite routes and wouldn't mind seeing more of them. Like you said, the Ann hate one is one of those that I play, but not a huge fan of it. Replay value is a good point. What I wouldn't mind is an easier system to get on the path you want, not easy to figure that out blind, especially for a first time player. Even I had to fuck around a bit until I managed to sort them out.I don't think having 5 LIs is all that much. This game would be so boring if it only focused on Bobblehead and Slutnessa.

As far as branches... yeah... We have Vanessa, Vanessa (with blackmail, which is thankfully closed off now), Vanessa/Joe Rival, Ann non-corruption, Ann corruption, and Ann Hate. Three routes dedicated specifically for bobblehead is a bit much. I've told him as much, but I would have not even done a full Ann hate route. It would just be where she shows up as a friend, but no extra scenes with her slutting around with other guys. I see the value in Joe rival where he could NTR MC, but it's not very well utilized so far.
However, if looking at long-term, it's nice to have multiple routes where people can replay and enjoy the game in different ways.

By the way, what sets up joe rival? If you cuck him with slutnessa instead of having a threesom? And whats the sharing deal? I've seen Chris the last time when he distributed Backdoor Merry...I don't think having 5 LIs is all that much. This game would be so boring if it only focused on Bobblehead and Slutnessa.

You have to go to the bar with Vanessa in the beginning, look at the picture of her sucking Chris' dick, at the cafe where she works, get a blowjob from her, then tell Joey what happened when you see him at the gym.By the way, what sets up joe rival?

They play the same, and this one had a major overhaul. You already played it whenever back then; it only adds Jenny scene and some missing animations, along with rival path but not much there.I'll wait for the Ren'py update.
Not keen on this engine.
Thanks for the info.They play the same, and this one had a major overhaul. You already played it whenever back then; it only adds Jenny scene and some missing animations, along with rival path but not much there.
It used to be 0.9 Beta, now it's the Final 0.9 version.Ayo v0.9 final?
Is the game finished?
