"Quote of the bumper sticker from last Update" (you all know me what can I say in such situation?)
I want to think it's the last one. The last update was the longest one ever. With little branching involved (if you are on Norah's path and answered Dad's calls), I would say you had to read around ~23,500 of the 25,791 words. Still the longest one.Is the updates getting shorter or the game gets better so it feel like it's shorter?![]()
The thing is I always replay with every update and I felt like new content was around 5 minutes, with numbers prove otherwise, I must say it was perfect.I want to think it's the last one.

It's pretty much just matter of how our perspectives work in different situations. For example in a movie, while objectively plot is advancing quite a lot, but if it's done in form of exposition rather than action, it might feel like nothing's happening. And if the movie is fast paced, it might feel like it has taken shorter time than you suspected.The thing is I always replay with every update and I felt like new content was around 5 minutes, with numbers prove otherwise, I must say it was perfect.![]()
Trope's addressed this. He wants variety. Only two even have a bush option, the rest are what they will be (and if they change, it'll be a character choice, not a player choice).Not trying to shit on anyone's taste, but could we get an option to have everyone shaved at the beginning, similar to the pregnancy option?
Love the game by the way
That's so much extra dev time that it's not really a feasible request.Not trying to shit on anyone's taste, but could we get an option to have everyone shaved at the beginning, similar to the pregnancy option?

Look at the crap one dev has to go through by offering a choice of either female or trans on an LI.That's so much extra dev time that it's not really a feasible request.
I would explain why this option isn't there. Right now the bush is optional with Samantha. Imagine a lewd scene with Samantha in Act III that will have:Not trying to shit on anyone's taste, but could we get an option to have everyone shaved at the beginning, similar to the pregnancy option?

Now do the Math for how long a Update would takeI would explain why this option isn't there. Right now the bush is optional with Samantha. Imagine a lewd scene with Samantha in Act III that will have:
* Samantha shaved and pregnant
* Samantha with bush and pregnant
* Samantha shaved and not pregnant
* Samantha with bush and not pregnant
That means 4 renders for every render a specific player sees on screen. Martha's lewd scene had 1462 animated renders + 207 not animated. Multiply that by 4 and we have 6,676 renders for that scene only (if the bush/no bush were visible in every one of them).
Now add another girl for a threesome with the same options. Multiply the 6,676 by 4 once again. 26,704 renders.
The whole game from v.0.2 until v.0.12 (478 days of development) has 18,849 renders.
The math says it will take me at the same pace 677 days to make only ONE scene. Not one update. One scene.

Still work shopping the name.
The harem re-converts in a nun a cloistered convent and never again is a pussy shown! Betty with a rolling pin is the new Abbess!Now do the Math for how long a Update would take![]()

You forgot something FG:Let's break down your request:
The game has 28 LI's. Not counting any of the other options, just for your wish, that's a ton of scenes.
Now, let's add my options, I want them all with a bush, if possible something akin to the Yeti. That's 2x the scenes.
Now, let's mix and match and let's say that out of all the players, some want a mix of bushes and baldies. We are probably on the millions of combinations now.
That in practical terms means what? That for each render where one of the girls is naked, it would need to be rendered as many times as the options. Each. And. Every. One. Who's doing it? One Dev. Only one. That would mean a lot of extra time, for NO real profit. Time that will be reflected in how much longer EVERYONE has to wait until the next release.
Because you want an option. That means NOTHING to the story, unlike the pregnancy one.
It's ok. You had no clue, that you were asking for something like that. Now you know.
Peace![]()
Yes my stance is that the workload increase between a KN and a VN is what kills most games before they finish.Except this is not Kinetic Novel, it's Visual Novel.![]()
In my opinion, KN is easier to do, but VN is funnier, both for the dev and the players, but you are right.Yes my stance is that the workload increase between a KN and a VN is what kills most games before they finish.
Rendering is not the problem with the correct hardware. Posing is. Yesterday I rendered a 51 frames animation in 1h20 minutes. It took me more than 4 hours to pose it correctly.Damn, I never appreciated the time consumption for rendering scenes. I thought those long times were a thing of the past, not still an issue. Shows what i know; been out of the scene for too long.
Question though. I noticed that all the main girls EXCEPT Daphne can get knocked up by the end of the first Act. Was this an intentional part of the story, or did you just run out of time to include it within the final version? Or did I just make wrong choices and miss the opportunity?
