What's in 0.9.6 that you can't get in 0.9.9?

I disagree in this point. Story driven games aka VN are based on decision. Different decisions will lead to different content/images and perhaps tells a different story of the game.
Form your post I get the feeling that you don't like story driven games in general, where content is based on decisions (like Philly_Games does). In this case games where decision and mostly the story doesn't matter (like Milfy City & Co.) suits you better. But this just my opinion.
I guess I'm kinda weird in that I like decision-based gameplay but I use a walkthrough so someone can tell me what the right decision is. I don't know why, and I realize that completely takes the decision out of my hands, but that's still what feels the most right to me.
Thank you taking the time to write such elaborate feedback.
In my opinion, it's one of those "you can't win" situations.
I take my time to develop characters -> I'm "milking the game" and "blue-balling" players.
I focus on finishing the main characters first, to get to sex scenes sooner -> "Why doesn't character X have more content?"
I add dates -> "I hate mini games/dates are boring".
I add more sex scenes -> "Not enough interactivity/why not more dates?".
This is not to say that all feedback is negative, because the majority of it isn't at all, but I just want to illustrate how hard it is to keep everyone happy (let's face it, it's impossible).
So for every desicion I make that might please you, someone else will come along and advocate the exact opposite (as has been demonstrated already by the replies to your post).
But after all, this is a place to share your opinion and I appreciate each and everyone that takes the time do so constructively, like you did, even if I disagree with parts of it.
And yes, I am working towards the end of the game.
Not because there isn't a lot more content I could add (this could go on for many years), but because I am confronted with decisions I have made during early development, that prevent me from creating a better game.
MotH was initally my way of testing my engine and finding out what "works", it has just gotten way more popular and bigger than I anticipated (for which I am very grateful).
However, now I feel it's time to take things to next level and apply what I have learned over the last couple of years to a new game. Like I've said many times before, I want to finish MotH in a way that pleases the players, but I also need challenge myself in order for me to stay motivated to work on this full time, because (unlike what some may think) I'm not in this just for the money, I want to (and need to) do something I enjoy.

Hey man, I've been following your game for probably years now.Thank you taking the time to write such elaborate feedback.

Taking the time to read your post, I'll tell you right now because I've notice the same with many other developers.
I'm glad you decided to actually finish this game as I've seen many many devs spend hundreds of thousands of hours on their games and ending up abandoning it because they just didn't have the motivation or drive to keep going due to boredom.
At some point, and this is what I've learned in life. All Great Things must come to an end. (That's what makes them special) and exactly what you said, "You can't please everyone".
Although it's not in my place to say anything:
I think there should be a time in the development where it could be beneficial to start thinking about what you want rather than the players as well, as pleasing your fanbase is a great idea but sometimes, don't you start to wonder if it pleases you?
Since I noticed that pleasing others too much will make game development turn into a chore.
The fact that you actually finished a game that you spent tons of time on is a great accomplishment and you should enjoy the fruits of that accomplishment.
I'm gIad you realize some of what I mentioned above and look foward to what your next game will be. Update us soon m8.

I'm glad you explained yourself. I was thinking very unkind things about you. But you must understand how easy it was to misinterpret what you wrote.The ladies in the game, dude.
It's the internet, my dude. Why does anyone make personal attacks like that?

Maybe if I had a history of that sort of thing. Anyway, this game is a lot more interactive than ptahn is giving it credit for.

I must be sleep deprived, I thought you were the one that was saying the game isn’t very interactive. Sorry about that.
Sry but I think you're a little bit wrong about that because I like good story driven games where the outcome is not dictated by a specific decisions that the writer think is wrong i just want to enjoy the complete game and not just part of it because of decisions you had made and of course the story do matter think about it why games like this and milfy city are loved by so many people because they can enjoy the story progressing without thinking was this decision right did I miss something that is just the nature of gamers you want to get it all what ever it is, achievements or specific weapons in this type of games it's the scenes you want all of them without missing something and i just like stories where I get the end I desire without the need to follow a route to get it but of course everyone has different taste but I think dev has done Amazing work with this game, and I am happy to see future games from Faerin he contacts to the people who play the game but that's enough from me talking about stuff like that.
Keep up the good work Faerin and don't let people confuse you I think you're on the right track and all people who love the game and support you are a good proof for that.
