Well, that happened, I'm officially disappointed with one of my top 5 games.

For me, this updates fails to deliver what made this game great in first place, the beautiful renders, the interesting and lovely women and a sense of discovery. I like the girls, getting to know them more, and spending time with them, as well as exploring the city and meeting side girls, poking around corners to see small events speculate about characters we haven't interacted with, but this time we only got to pad the game with content that doesn't progress in any the story or adds to the girls' character.

And most of all, it felt unnecessary, besides the coding stuff that can't talk about, the game only added music that I won't listen, sfx that I also won't listen, QoL improvements for things that were never a bother, and repeatable events that are completely unnecessary and inferior to the gallery. I get devs need to fix and polish stuff, but this time it just didn't feel like the game is any better for it.

I'm all for improvements but with that said, I'll just wait for v9. No point griping about it and as someone already said.....you can never please everyone. Wasn't it stated several times that v8 was more focused on QoL changes, code fixes and the addition of Sfx and music rather that new content??

If the dev had posted a roadmap, you, and half his patreons would have cancelled anyway.
Yeah, but that would've meant that they'd lost that sweet cash, so, it's better to not post the roadmap so people cancel AFTER they get dissapointed and already paid instead of cancelling before that

Game's great, but i knew it would go downhill when each update added 1 entire week of delay, first it was 1, then 2, then 3, and then, 1 entire month, effectively charging for 10 weeks of nothing in comparison to the earlier updates (it's like when your service bills come 1-2 days before each month, so, by the end of the year, the company charged you 2 weeks to 1 extra month of service, for nothing)

Reminds me of Snowdaze, adding music that nobody cares about and will mute, useless voiceovers, etc

Also, the infamous "QOL" updates that everyone expects to make things "better", but in truth, are just fake stuff in the notes ~ i still remember Summertime Saga and their huge "QOL" updates, and the game is still a buggy mess, and you have to start over everytime because they can't even make saves transferable....but but! muh QOL!!

It was stated that the wait was due to the composer needing more time to finish the music, but they hinted several times that this will also allow them to squeeze in more content which they didn't specify what it means but i personally as well as many others thought it meant more scenes with the girls.
In fact in their last update before this release they specifically said that they are nearing the release date but that SOME OF THE GIRLS are still not ready for us yet, that to me seems like they were working on scenes with the girls.

Oh and i was curious to see if i was wrong and you were right that they said they focused more on music and stuff rather then new content so i went through all their patreon posts and i couldn't find this. You can find those posts posted in this very thread, in fact here are all the pages





Feel free to point out to me where it says music, code fixes, sfx, qol changes are focused on and not new content which is taking the backseat?

Great update! I know if you look from the story perspective, there's no content about it, but if you look from the technical perspective, there's a lot of content: addition of song(really good songs), all repeatable scenes(it's different from the gallery, because you just see the action for those don't want to see all the context around it) and the hints improvement are less cryptic(you will be less stuck in the game ), but it's just for the main event because some special events still difficult to trigger without walkthrough yet. Overall, this was a good improvement for the game and you remember that coding a game could take too much time too.

Ok maybe I'm just thick, but this game has been tagged with Pregnancy forever and I've never found any of it. Anyone got a lead?

So far, it is only a dream sequence during Esther's story, but you get a sex scene with her.

seriously can someone put where the code location is? I found an enter code in the wallpaper section but the codes don't work there so unless we're supposed to use them for our names there is an issue here.

Let's see what we got after 2 months of wait.

- 2 new events(one of them has no nsfw content)
- some songs(that nobody listens to because it's a porn game)
- some repeatable events (that are mostly repeats of existing events in a menu)


Obviously all I want to do in a world with magical girls is to play monopoly with them.

I get why people are upset, but relax guys. Your needs (more story and content) won't always align with what Jikei has planned for the entirety of the game. Okay, so the majority of us are probably better off waiting for the next update, but every new player will enjoy a richer experience thanks to updates like this. We'll also benefit from the same things in future updates.

Just be patient and try to appreciate the fact that Jikei is doing his best to deliver a complete, quality product. You can tell it's because he loves what he's creating.
