See couple posts above yours. He's working on the 1st of 2 DLC's for Chapter05. :)

Anya's POV -> Then possibly more rework of early content -> Then I'm guessing the nightclub aftermath -> Then Chapter06
Oh man not a full pov segment that's unfortunate, I wanna see more of erik and VI! Oh well, still, new stuff is preferable to the dreaded 6 letter "r word".

Hello guys, there seems to be some confusion regarding the rework of the intial release. The rework is done and released. I updated this thread, the thumbnails, the links, the changelog, etc...I'm not currently working on any rework, it's done and released both on Patreon and to the public. I already knew I wanted to make this rework before releasing Chapter 5 weeks ago, I just didn't announce it because I knew it would create toxic and fake narratives on this thread, so I just did it and released it. It's done! I will leave the Patreon post here for reference but I wanted a better experience for new players, make Vi look a little better ( before I get trouble from TOS on Patreon), create new narrative threads like Laura working on real-estate and Arnold being the new director of the university. This are plot lines that will have impact soon on future chapters. I'm working now on the Anya DLC for March, nothing has changed. View attachment 4575185
Holy shit. Am I to understand you took the knockout on the left and traded her for boring girl on the right? I was super excited to see this game was updated again. Now I'm just depressed.

Well, not that one. But, my incest patch should continue to work for future updates, since it just searches for particular lines to replace. I checked it with 5 v2, and no lines were changed, so it's still good.

If anyone does come across something that fucks up, I'd be interested to know about it. I haven't played it from the very beginning in ages, so there could be stuff like that, in the early chapters that I don't know about.

When I see comments like this I wonder if you've ever even played the game. Vi hasn't looked like on the left except literally in the first chapter, so over 8 months ago now. Now the right picture was an interesting choice because IMO there are more flattering ones from the update, one of which I'll post below. But this is how she's looked since at least chapter 3 more or less. Not like the version on the left which we havent seen since chapter 1 (chapter 2 vi was different than either, it seems looking back). rc calltease2.jpg

So why are you getting mad about something that's already been the case for 8 months...

DLC? So it's just chapter 5 part 2 and part 3 pretty much? Also with the update of the game will old saves work or will we have to start all over again?

Rework. Everytime this appears in a game on this forum it means: soon to be abandoned.

Hope it's the first one to prove it wrong, because this game is good.
The rework is already done. It was just to update the intro to match the current style and standard. There's nothing more to be said about this.

idk what dev meant by DLC? why not just continue the story like normal? what's the purpose of "DLC"?
yeah the whole usage of 'dlc' in a subscription based game is odd, though he's not the first one to use that. DLC is normally seen as "bonus" content you purchase to add on to an existing game you purchased in full prior.

agree, it's confusing language and unnecessary imo. regardless the "bonus" content gonna be free for me so dev can do all the DLC they want :p

From my understanding, we're continuing where we left of in Chapter 5, but from a different perspective (Anya). It's not Chapter 6 yet, more as a side-story. Considering there's going to be a decent amount of content in these, I guess he used the best term available to him. I wouldn't look into it that much tbh.

for fuck sake I was happy when I saw this got an update and then I see what the update was..
when are these devs gonna learn..progress the story or don't update until you do.
No one wants these small nothing updates that rework earlier content. Include those kinds of things with actual updates...
Do them on the side and trickle them in with content that progress your games. IT's not fucking hard to do.
Why do so many devs do this..I can't understand.

Anything to not work on progressing the story. That's what it is and calling it anything else is just lying about it.
I'm fine with it if the dev says "I'm thinking about how to progress and have hit a bit of a wall so I am focusing on improving earlier content while I think about what to do." That's the only acceptable reason in my opinion.
You are making the same kind of game as this I just hope I can convince you that doing what this dev is doing right now isn't good. No one likes it. Same as when devs take their game and remake it from the start. So it sometimes takes years to get new content. If they don't abandon it on the way because they lost so much money because all their paying people left along the way. I have no issues with devs working on their game to make it overall better while still progressing their game at the same time. It's a choice they have to make. Ultimately they should want a finished product that they are happy with. I don't generally care if it takes a while to get an update to a game if it's good. Good things are usually worth waiting for and your game and this game I would say fit that category. Seeing an update like this though is disappointing. The DLC thing is also disappointing. Not sure what it will look like, but the mear word DLC puts a sour taste in my mouth. So I hope it's just a side story as you say.
Day1 dlcs is a horrible practice and well early access dlc is even worse.

Disappointed people are less likely to pay money or keep paying money. If that's not a concern this dev has fine, if it's not reflecting in his statistics that's great.

I can definitely understand your point of view on this. Before making my game, I used to be quite skeptical and I still am of a lot of developers. I've know Circle for a good while now and he has no intention on doing the things you just mentioned. The extra stories are just a way for him to close down Chapter 5 properly. There will be progression of the story and... things will happen, with both the MC and side-characters. So the characters will develop further and our blue balls will be gone.


On a side note: I am also going to rework some of my initial chapters to bring them up to the current standard, add some QOL features such as a replaying scenes, gallery, ect... to just pollish the game up before we get too far to go back. The initial impression needs to be strong and set the tone just right, which is why I can understand Circle doing it.
I'll be adding some new content along with this as well.

EDIT: You mentioned earlier that nobody wants the reworks and that would be true for most of the people that have played the game, but there's still new people discovering the game every single day, so making sure the initial impression is good, is important. Especially for the future if he ever releases it on platforms such as Steam.
