Dunno why some people are so harsh with this game. Yeah, the game had a rough start with an engine swap and other problems, but it'll pick up soon enough. You guys seriously need to stop comparing this shit to real life tendencies.
I just don't understand why everything has to be a rush to bang every woman in the game. The problem here is that you playing it per update. If you were playing a finished game you wouldn't feel these "pacing" issues you think there is, and you'd be feeling totally different about the game. Maybe try not playing the game every update, or gee I dunno, waiting until it's finished? Ever think of that? You guys likely don't pay anything to play this, yet you whine all the time. If you think you can write better stories or situations with characters then make your own game.
I don't know why people are bringing up Philly either and his game. You really shouldn't be doing that here in this thread to be honest. Anyways, they're totally different games, different stories, different fetishes, etc, but Lewdlab has more patrons and his games consistently trend higher here on F95.
In regards to CoBD, the quality speaks for itself and I've supported it in the past, but it really doesn't have much appeal to me outside of that, because it's not a story I really want in a porn game. I mean, outside of Victoria (who is easily one of, if not the top tier girl for me out of all these games) and Chandra, I really don't like ANY of the characters Philly has created at all, in both his games. No Victoria or Chandra content in CoBD update and I don't care about it. I'd rather have a story like I have here, or something like Milfy City even. Where each character has their own little story arc of sorts with progression, and obviously the incest a huge part of the fantasy appeal.
And big LOL at thinking DoD is better or will be better than this when it's finished. Go back and play DoD again, but remember you're playing a finished game where you're not gonna feel pacing issues or update delays. Guarantee you won't think DoD is better than this when it's finished.
Look I completely agree with you that when the game will be finished it will probably be a much better experience.
But my friend, you have missed the point.
Whether you like philly's games or not doesn't matter. What i was comparing is the amount of work and patrons that go into these games. You look at lewdlab and think, hmmmm he could probably use all that money to speed this shit up and add some more team members perhaps, or render machines. but it doesn't seem like that's what he does, at least it doesn't show it with the updates.
And then you look at philly with 1000 supporters less (which is a lot less in money), and just look at the quality he can bring with that.
The difference is way too big not to give any notice. if we don't compare there is no competition, and then there is no reason for the devs to push even further, which is what we all want really, don't we (at least me)?
Also, saying you can't compare the two is like saying you can't compare different fps games or any other genres just because they have a different story. I can still compare the renders/pacing/gameplay or anything else really in the game.
And I don't know if you know this. but when MP was about to release, Lewdlab said: "I'd say this first release is probably 40% of the work of the whole game ", yet now it only seems like it's 15-20% done after 9 updates...

This is really the thing that upsets me most, why would he say that shit in the first place and then come out with a game that barely contained anything.
I still think Lewdlab is a good dev (for the incest community) in terms of renders. The story is okay, nothing special.
But he has disappointed so many times.
even Icstor (which is considered a lost cause at this point lol) has not disappointed me like lewd has.
I don't know about you, but I like to have some adult content in adult games, especially after 9 updates.
I'm all about character progression and story, but this is taking too long. imo he has had many opportunities to add some fap material without interrupting the story and character progression too much. I mean like come on what's the big difference between a bj and hj if said character already agreed to the latter...
Side rant: Might be an unpopular opinion, but some of his supporters are like simps.
