[shamtiiomi]

Thanks for the review, and UNSOLICITED SPOILERS!

just play the game

 

[WuzzyFuzzy]

what was the other AVN that ended in a whimper for you? I don't really follow all of the releases, just a handful that interest me.

Follow the Leader

Follow the Leader

Ah, that is from 'SuperWriter' iirc, honestly the endings in all his games are that bad/lackluster.
But yeah, pretty much as you said before, a good ending is just as important as the rest of the game/story. The journey can be as epic as it gets, but if you fuck up the ending it ruins the story, taking ME3 as a good example.

Too bad the Walkthrough Mod and I-patch conflict...

 

[_SerapH_]

Is there a harem ending? I haven't played it a few updates ago if it doesn't have a harem ending and I won't finish it.

 

[tidus]

Maybe i missed something but I'm disappointed with Natasha's ending or rather lack of ending.

She ran off with Boris. They started a Moose and Squirrel sanctuary.

 

[MAD6999]

This game took too long. All the time and effort I spent on the last updates would have been better spent making better endings.

You know only us old fucks are going to catch that reference...

Too bad the Walkthrough Mod and I-patch conflict...

There is no conflict between these two mods, because the walkthrough mod integrate it.
But for now, it's not updated, you just have to wait...

 

[Episkopos]

Any chance we could get an ipatch that doesn't crash the Steam version? I liked this game so much I bought it but the patch that's here only works for the "free" version.

YES

 

[stenctrum]

So which version is provided in this thread? Steam one with updated visuals or the Patreon one?

Not that it much matters, but a word or two about endings.

This is the second AVN in the past couple of days that ended with a whimper. I realize many will give a proverbial pat on the back to the devs for finishing the game, given that so many AVNs are prematurely abandoned. Still, that should be no excuse to ignore a rule in art production that is almost sacrosanct.

Before I got into video production many years ago I was a photographer. To be a commercial photographer attempting to sell one's talent and body of work, one had to have a portfolio. There were two rules in creating a portfolio: 1. The first picture in the portfolio was the second best of the entire collection. 2. The last picture of the portfolio was the best picture. This same general rule applies to other art forms such as movie-making or writing. The last impression one has is usually the most important and we can all think of many movies, books, etc wherein the ending left us speechless, in awe, moved.

It's no surprise that the developer's of most AVNs, especially ones who create harem-dominate games, are not attuned to these rules and are found lacking at building tension and creating climactic endings. But what a waste to seemingly not even try to get to first base with an ending.

To put it more crudely...someone sat on a whoopee cushion.

In this case you also have to point out how long the dev drew out this game, it was update after update just treading water and after doing that for about two years or so, to then let the game end with a whimper, that's honestly pretty weak sauce.

wong ic-patch then.

Any chance we could get an ipatch that doesn't crash the Steam version? I liked this game so much I bought it but the patch that's here only works for the "free" version.

maybe updated ic-patch works whenever it comes.

So which version is provided in this thread? Steam one with updated visuals or the Patreon one?

patreon unless pack has steam-folder.

Share the Steam version and someone, like me, can update the i-patch to work with it...

 

[Rocksy1]

Well, classic boring and disappointing ending. To me it felt as if it was cut short.

No, the Steam version is split into Seasons, if you bought Season 3 it has them all, and you can try Scrappy's unofficial one if he ever updates it. Steam version is its own build and thing (ala Chasing Sunsets), it is even built with a different Ren'Py build, so the mod and his patch probably don't work with it either.

So which version is provided in this thread? Steam one with updated visuals or the Patreon one?

This is the Patreon version, as it's the elite version. The updated visuals are only for the first episode, Patreon v1.0 is not going to come for 3 months or more. Saves, patches, mods, etc also do not work for the Steam version.

Having the Steam version here would cause more issues than its work since nothing is compatible, think of it as its own build (like Chasing Sunsets, Patreon and Steam are different builds, and different mods have to be used for it), as the Ren'Py version it's built with is even different.

Compressed I found one but the link down so anyone ?

 

[ReShadowDancer]

Playing for the first time...I tried searching for similar question but didn't find any so I thought I'd ask..

Is the Video enhancement mod worth it? Does it work fine without any issues or the normal game is fine??
