I agree like 90% with your statement. I think by using a unique set of lora's together and different weights, you can pretty much create an artstyle that is unique but has inspirations from well known artists.
this is a lot harder than it sounds, but that's KINDA how it works, yea. what i'm impressed by, is that this dev is able to get consistency with the backgrounds as well. like those scenes of the girls swimming are very impressive. hard to pull off all this contextual stuff with AI.

From what I've seen, the underwater background is a Lora. For other scenes, he generates the pictures and removes the background, which can be hit or miss and probably touches it up in photoshop and pastes them into the scene. It's easier to generate nice scenes when you have a less complex prompt.

makes sense. even if they are composites of multiple checkpoints and loras it's impressive to see how well they integrate, which is where the dev's "eye" comes into play

dont count your chickens before they hatch.. i hope i lose bet but we dont know yet.. dev has said similar before..
Similar what? Delay a release? Yeah, and you know why? Because the update got bigger. Your arguments still make zero sense.

I used to support this game on Patreon but over the last few months I feel that CircleGames is getting lazier. His post frequency was almost daily in the past. Now you don't even get 1 in a week.

The releases are getting slower and slower now that he build a sizable amount of paying audience. The only thing carrying this game is the art and its done by AI. Let the milking begin I guess.

The first page of 20 posts on Patreon goes back to 10th of September. That makes a post every other day. The last 2 weeks we have seen 8 posts. So the part about posting doesn't really make sense to me

In regard to releases; since the game was on chapter 3 after 3,5 months this indeed seems to take longer, hard to tell after 1 time whether that is gonna be consistent or whether there is just more in this upcoming chapter. I hope time will prove you wrong

if i remember right, the creator went full time content creation in september and the transition slowed stuff down a bit as he finished up obligations to the company he worked for. then planning what he'd do to expand, and getting ch 4 done. I'll wait to judge until I've seen how Ch 4 is and how long it takes for Ch. 5 to release and it's size in comparison.

"I could crunch it and release the update possibly tomorrow. But I will not do that... "
i think for dev own sake he shouldnt say stuff like that.. nothing good can come from it??
i could pay for patreon today.. but i will not do that..
Why not? Their argument for doing so seems completely rational. It serves to explain the project status. If you don't pay for patreon today, you get to pay for a polished release on Friday instead.

Of course it's Eric, he just admitted to Vi that he wants to see her being a slut on public so people can see her. There's still a couple more of updates to see her having sexual intercourses with another men/women, for now it's just exhibitionism and teasing (as it should, if I want to see a guy's GF fucking another dude the next day he tells her he wants her to be a slut, I just search for a porn video)

that's not what i'm saying, obviously. but if we are getting 5 scenes an update, i'd rather the 5th scene be another tease or exhibitionist scene with an NTS element rather than a vanilla sex scene. maybe they spice it up with NTS-talk or some "what if?" flashes? there's ways to do it, we will have to see

Another one who apparently doesn't get it. Each release had more content than the one prior, the upcoming release even adds animation and other features on top of an even bigger chapter. Just like nickrotund you're somehow unable to do the simple math and come to the conclusion that more content also comes with more time.

Game's been out since mid May. That's 4 chapters (if released next week) plus an early remaster due to drama surrounding the art. That's literally 5 and a half months for 4 chapters + remaster aswell as adding new features. Like... are you sure you ever supported this project? CG even talked about his absence on Patreon, he explained that he'd post fewer images to have more time for the game... Are you guys just trolling or what?

TLDR; The development is not getting slower. The amount of content per release is going up, hence why it's taking longer. That's not slower development.

As for nickrotund, you ignore any logic provided to you and keep coming back talking absolute nonsense. Actual troll. No clue what you're thinking when a game releases updates so frequently, then coming here and cry. Like fuck, you should check out some projects that are an actual shitshow instead of crying about a game that is going just fine.

Anyway, just for you two: Slower development either means LESS content in MORE time, or simply more time for the same amount of content. Neither applies here. So... can you just stop talking garbage?

Okay, that's all somewhat valid....but keep in mind it is kinetic.
