What engine does the game use now? I know it started with rpgmaker but if I remember correctly they switched cause it was a limitation right?

The latest version of the game is in the first post and it's almost 2 years old. They haven't updated the game since September of 2016.

No. RPGM. They didnt even change to MV, still the old one. What they said about changing the engine was a lie.

The engine is still RPG Maker, not even MV, the only thing they changed is the renders and all they have to show now is a tech demo that's basically the combat from the other versions but with even less content because they haven't even made the graphics for things that already existed before, there's not even sexual content.
Wow, so after 2 years people still pay when the dude says "yeah this month I was still tweaking the lightning effects...". I really am amazed. I played the first demo and actually found it to be quite fun. Then the dark af fuse puzzle maze thing was a bit of a turnoff but this is really disappointing. And here I thought I was not progressing fast enough with university lol. These dudes are far worse. Well, still I hope it gets finished one day cause the chicks look good but they have way too much clothing.

My understanding about the engine was that there is actually so much extra scripts/coding that rpgmaker is only a "shell" at this point. He hired Altair early on as a programmer to overcome some of the engine's limitations and make some custom scripts/mechanics.
As for "upgrading" to MV, that would require changing to a completely different programming language. MV uses javascript, and all previous versions of rpgmaker use ruby. No idea on how much work it would be to migrate the code, just pointing it out that it would not likely be a simple matter. And as for MV being an "upgrade", that's a discussion all its own.

Honestly, I kinda feel like I got my pledges worth out of him from back in the day, the 0.030 to 0.05 releases. That scene where the cyborg chick gets sucked into the tentacle monster between the upper area and the lower area...pretty damn hot scene. In the end, yeah, it sucks this has basically died off, but...sometimes I like to look at the glass as half full. Maybe in a few years we'll see a full game, but no more money out of me...that's for sure. Hahaha...
Omg The update with that fuse door maze was hilarious as a patreon. Everyone freaked out! We were still on the charge only when there is an update method so they immediately improved it. Good shit, I almost forgot about that nightmare lvl.
My bet is on July of 2025 when our new alien overlords tack down and force euromancer to actual work on a update instead of continually redraw his character models and "play with lighting".

Will there be electrical whips involved? I hope there are.
Sad, this is a game I would actually pay for if it were complete. H-games with with actual in-battle hentai mechanics are rare enough, and this one integrates them better than many. Some people are perfectly satisfied to be led around by the nose/wallet, I guess.
Jesus christ. So latest (May 16) update: they're doing another technical overhaul which means they're going to be redoing a whole bunch of shit AGAIN. Last straw for me personally. Ended my pledge.

Yikes. I still wanted to believe, but i will cancel my 3$ pledge as well.
This is getting ridiculous. Will wait until they release these news for non - inner circle members, tell them to gtfo in the comments and call it a day.
Shame, i still really had high hopes.

He could've finished the game in the amount of time to write all that. But really, I have worked in software for a long time; when someone goes on that long and with that kind of detail, with a bunch of "I did this, but it blew up, but then I blah, blah, blah..." and it's not a postmortem after a product launch, I always suspect a big load of bullshit. I'm also usually correct in my suspicions.
If you've been reading the actual post, you know that this technical overhaul was planned anyway, after v0.06. Reason they're doing it now is that the new programs are much more capable of doing what they need. Instead of picking their poison, they can now drink from a clean cup. This isn't even that big of a setback. Next to that, they've explained in great detail why they're doing it, with various reasons.
Both I think, the problem people have is;

- Nov 2014 initial concept art was being pushed outSept 2016 - Last game demo
May 2018 - 19 months of no content updates
So anyone with anything positive to say, is treated with suspicion. Especially as everyone who comments on here is pretty much a fan of the game and wants more to come, so are frustrated.
Understandable. I'm not Eromancer, though. I've just been pledged since a couple of months ago and while I understand the frustration, I think the hate and pessimism are undeserved given the frequency and transparency of their behind-the-scenes updates.
