Fair enough, yeah. I'm not saying he shouldn't do it. Just speaking from experience, sometimes it's easier (or at least easier justify from a business perspective) to hack something together in an engine that doesn't really support it than to learn an entire new engine that might make it easier in the long run. But yeah, I think we would all be happier if he found a better long-term solution for the next project.
[Makura cover soft] Dungeon and Bride (alpha, upcoming, DEMO RELEASED)
- Thread starter CobraPL
- Start date
All said and done, I do have respect for people that manage to make engines do what they really don't want to do. The things he's managed to make Kirikiri do just in the demo, against its own specifications, are an engineering miracle.
Last december they said they were aiming for a late April release. Now it's been more than a year since that announcement and we don't have a release date or a new demo or something, I'm a bit worried to be honest... we might not see a release until 2026
I think the April one was the last demo until final game. He also said mostly everything made just got to put them together. Maybe get more H scenes.
I did see the progress report on the their blog, and as you said pretty much everything is done except for some scenes and pieces of the story, but the real issue is that voice acting/audio has not received any progress. This was of course a long time ago, pretty sure there has been progress they are just holding back on making any more "reports"

Blog released 31/12：
Thank you for your support this year.
I am truly sorry for the inconvenience this year.
I am disappointed that I was unable to meet your expectations.
I have been busy with a lot of things and have had difficulty finding time to work, but I have to admit that my estimates were very low this time as well. I am truly sorry. Also, during the period when we were rushing to release the game quickly, we did a lot of sloppy work, which ended up requiring a lot of revisions and rework.
Even so, we have been working little by little, and I think that this time we can say that the scenario, maps, and program are truly finished. There is a lot of work left to do, so I think that we will be able to make steady progress as long as we have the time.
Programming 100%
Items, character CG, etc. 100%
Maps and quests 100%
Scenario 100%
Scenario script 95%
Event CG 90%
Audio 20%
We will do our best to release the game in March 2025.
Thank you for your support.

I strong doubted he can finish in March since there are 80% audio remain and that's too much and little time for him to finish.

Sure but I think this is actually Makurasoft's responsibility since they are the ones in charge of recording the voicelines/contracting the voice acting studio, pretty sure he'll be doing quality control on that voice acting, but not much more. Hopefuly we won't have to wait much longer!!

Leane 2's main heroines had good voice quality, but the lesser secondary female characters sometimes had weird/shoddy audio quality.
I thought this game would release without character voice. If it does have character voice upon release, i'll make sure to "save up" before I play the game

Game releases in march, non MTL translation releases in 2028.
I mean, the currently available demo has really good translation, hopefuly the translator(s) can pick up from there and wrap it up before the end of 2025? maybe....

Anyone happen to know whether MC will be able to interact with the pregnancy mechanic at all (aside from end-game content) or is that just for rivals?
The demo doesn't have all that much dialog compared to what the full game will. Also I'm pretty sure it's still just edited MTL. We'll probably be waiting for a proper hand translation for a while (though hopefully not)

Considering his track record, I expect a release sometime in summer, maybe even in autumn. He pushed back on Leanne 2 multiples times, to where he had to close the comments from angry fans.
