Based on the change log, I'm just finishing up v0.38. What a complete shit-show.
Very disjointed. It attempted to do "story progression" but it was just a bunch of sound-bites that had no real impact and no real revelation. No wonder they abandoned "story progression" early on - they just don't seem to know how to write that well. Even the lewd scenes became more terse and the scripting seemed to be the same basic verbiage with just a little bit of change, but the overall impression was always the same: LI - oh I love your dick, and be rough; MC - I'm gonna do just that and I know you love my dick because it's so good and I'm such a stud. And the whole interaction with his "best friend" was so awkward and grade-school level it was just painful to go through.
The continuity sucked pretty hard, too. What I'm gathering is the "elite" scene for the episode
(Lori dildoing herself at Daphne's) made reference to the MC in all of my save variants - including the ones where I had sadly lost her path early in the VN.
Another observation: I don't know if it's the way they code or do their animations, but this VN hangs and crashes more than any other I've played. Much bigger VNs with much more robust animations play just fine for me, but this one has issues. One fun side effect is that the crash trashes your persistent file and you can't skip seen text when you come back in. It also seems to "forget" that you've played certain scenes in the replay gallery - I know I've done every possible lewd scene, but several of them
(usually variations in a major scene, like the Cas/Lil three-way) show as not played/accessible, even though they showed otherwise the night before when I did a regular save off and sign-off. Just really don't understand how this thing got to be so sloppy. I think maybe they became so enamored of their sphincter animation that they just watched it all day long and phoned the rest in.
By all appearances, they just got tired of doing this and decided to slap together a slipshod end game to get it over with and move on to the next thing. This had some decent potential, but now I'm not even looking forward to playing out the final bit. And I'm a pirate - I can only imagine how disappointed their supporters must be.
