I think they wanted to extract his memory and look for dirt on CAOS and Earth military.

The game is pretty good, loved previous works of Vosmug, but the bossfight is impassable for me. MC just getting destroyed before he could throw 3rd rod. Annoying AF for such kinda game.
I hate to be a dick but this is literally the definition of a skill issue. The boss fight is challenging, but it's a very far cry from impossible- you need to block correctly, make your inputs quickly, and move efficiently.

Well, you'd be right if there weren't KB-only pointer input and interrupting cuts with shot preparation, breaking UI sequence.

With the boss fight you need to be pretty on point with your inputs but when I went full sweat mode, I had health for two extra shots (plus the time before the final killer shot). It has decent leeway. But it also isn't a casual stroll.

Only minor bugfixes according to on itch.io in case you are worried about missing out on new content

Incredibly disappointing. GHV and XT are actively my go-to nowadays for porn games. I literally can't be bothered to look in the direction of a porn game if it doesn't have these mechanics and am tired of keyboard warriors (see above my comment here) telling us to suck it up and stop complaining when these kinda games are fucking dead/dying. Kincaid? no more grabs for years now. Crisis Point Extinction? no more grabs. Future Fragments and PASEC are the only one of note that've been made in a long time, meanwhile 9 million visual novels or similar types are released every single day for people to eat up like slop.
Calling people "keyboard warriors" for defending a developer making a game they enjoy themselves is a weird stance to take.

Developers will either make things that earn money or make things that they themselves enjoy, hopefully a combination of both. If you feel that your favorite genre is drying up, you can help out by purchasing games from your favorite genre (remember, itch.io allows you to pay more than what the game actually costs! So you can entice your favorite developer to make more of a certain genre by giving them more money!). Or, you can contribute directly yourself by becoming a developer yourself.

My favorite genre is the same as yours, though I still found this game good enough to be enjoyable and I am looking forward to Vosmug's next game. Though with that being said, I really would also wish the next game was an action game with a female protagonist.

Which tra
At the moment the next game is likely to be a zombie action side scroller, however the protagonist will be male.
Which tracks because Vos has had an issue with the gameplay rewards and sexual content rewards clashing (win to proceed vs lose to get sex) since Ghost Hunter Vera. They're a bit easier to align with male protagonist. I'm not expecting a female protagonist until he clearly states he's exhausted his current approach to remedy that clash.

Does anyone know if Vosmug is making a 4th game. Discord is banned in my country so I cannot check his Discord.
He just posted an update on Discord today which mentioned that he's been working on his next game for the past two weeks now (after spending some time exploring several other possibilities.)

Sooooo, since June 5 I've officially started working on Project Zombie City, It's been 2 weeks now and I hope this doesn't turn out to be a disaster because I'm already stressed out. The first thing I have to do is to properly define main characters design graphics and line style, sprite size, all that, won't start working on mechanics or anything related to code until at least a couple (or all) main characters are defined.

I wanted to wait until at least one female character was ready to show, because you know, but it's going to take a while, so let's run with whatever progress there is for now.

More importantly tho, I still have some doubts, the sprites are still not where I want them to be, the project selected even tho is the most safe may not be the one I'm feeling the most confident about, and worst of all, I'm not in a porn mood right now, working on a non-porn game is a tempting option.

So rocky start, not a good sign, let's see how things move along. I'm even hesitant to post this progress, but at least you know I'm doing something.

genuinely sucks to hear it. I'll remain hopeful for the one after, but at this point I'm probably just gonna be stuck with just GHV and XT for quality.
I honestly wouldn't get your hopes up, because Vosmug has been pretty clear about how much he struggles with female protagonists. That he strongly dislikes the idea of spending time on creating content which incentivizes the player to lose.

Vosmug circa 2022 said:
I’ve already started to fall off the “rapey platformer” formula, Lunar Crisis is a step in that direction, kind of, you don’t really win you just progress.

The reality is, I don’t like the idea of jumping on enemies to lose on purpose just to get the reward, is counter intuitive to the idea of video games imo, and I know I did that before but at the same time I also tried to have a “reward” for progressing, which is really my main focus, and from now on, probably the only focus I’ll use.

I’ll play games like that no problem, but I’m moving from that idea when making them. I’ve heard about the “struggle” being the good part, but in my experience, people don’t play to struggle, they play to lose.

And this is the controversial part, and this is something I’ve been crucified for before, and it’ll happen again, I’m starting to prefer male playable characters that “witness” or “participate” in a story over female playable characters whose only purpose is to lose (from a gameplay perspective, there’s no moral implications here).

And just to be clear what I mean by “participate” is that the game and story shouldn’t just revolve around the player all the time, circumventing the NTR problem we talked about before.
Out of the seven potential game concepts that he posted on his blog, five of them have male protagonists and two have female protagonists... But those two are strictly SFW games with no sexual content.

Project SFW Metroidvania
Traditional gameplay. The image is a mockup with early test assets done several years ago.

Project SFW Horror
Ao Oni "hide and seek" style gameplay with clowns.

Yeah good luck to him with that. At least one third of people engage with stories through identifying themselves with the protagonist and when combined with the messed up understandings, expectations and desires people who engage with porn games have, the "having ownership" over all female NPCs is easy to happen. The comments on games where the author tries to bring in other pairings through story usually contain rich veins of salt whenever those scenes come up.
