I've tried all the available links, the ones in the OP, the Itchio one and the compressed. The only one that worked for me was an older version of the game on Itchio, but I wanted to try the latest version. It must be a problem related to the latest version of the game, unless people are actually playing the latest version without any issue in which case I have no idea.

Nah, technically "Act 1" is completed so the title is accurate in that regard.



"Act 1" is completed. Act 2 is...I'm just gonna call it a work in progress.



Irrelevant seems mostly chill. AnonDive is the one who probably responds to too much criticism.

On the other hand, they revealed that the Equestria Girls fangame is purported to have more NSFW stuff than NOVEL. What that means, I don't know for sure, but given it's being drawn by MisCon I can only hope for good things.
It seems that the game can no longer be continued because the police raided the studio. This is what the author wrote in the game update log.

However, I found another fan game of Equestria Girls. The game's art style is very faithful to the original work. It's called "Lust is Magic". The author is Dierrt77. He accepts sponsorship on the patreon website, but his game is highly confidential. It seems that if you don't sponsor $10, he won't give you the download link of the game. And only when you sponsor $10 will he send you the download address of the game to your private mailbox. So far, there is hardly any free version of this game available. If you can get one, could you send it to f95? I can't handle the sponsorship here, so I can't get this game...

That's just common for the game.

Did you really think Hasbro would do that instead of sending a C&D?
I think they will do this because a few years ago, a game development team also encountered this situation. There were acquaintances I knew in the team, so I learned about it. He had just joined the team dealing with other languages and had not yet been included in the producer list, thus escaping unscathed. However, I can't provide any evidence about this matter. It will cause a lot of trouble, so you can take it as an exaggerated joke.

Well I already left a review with the general idea I have of the game explained in an exhaustive way, so I will be brief, the game is quite good, it is missing one or another minigame or puzzle, but the love with which it is made and the attention to detail, music, backgrounds, new characters and others selected from the lesser known of the show, everything adds up, I really hope that the next update does not take too long to arrive, I am excited to know how the story of it will continue.

If you haven't played it yet, give it a chance. The language barrier is no excuse either. Hotzone18 has a patch that translates it completely :D, that's how I was able to finish it.

P.S: Could someone give me the Discord link for the creative team? The one at the top is down.

They shut the Discord down last year for reasons I've never fully understood, but I assume have to do with AnonDev.
I understand, it's a shame that Discord has closed. I would like to be able to follow the game's development and provide feedback. So, the only thing left is to follow them through Homeschool-Studios.....

But is something wrong with the creative team? Or are they just working quietly?

What happened to anondev?
Nothing inherently. He just has a reputation of being a dick who responses to any criticism severely negatively.

He's also not a fan of people asking for updates even if it's been a while since they post one.

Working quietly, I guess? I see it kinda like the team behind BenX where they just work on the game and don't post fuck all about it. Which pisses me off still, but it's certainly a way to create.

Yeah they just sorta work on it whenever they have the time. Both Dive and Irrelevent make these games just for fun really, so they still have to live the rest of their lives as it comes. Dive is an environmental engineer and Irrelevent is a software engineer IIRC, and Dive even has a family to take care of. I kinda get being pissed with other WEG devs who are in it for the patreon or subscribestar check every month, but they've made it pretty clear that shit is gonna get released or revealed whenever they happen to finish it. Could be tomorrow, could be 2026.

Honestly I just wish they posted more updates instead of keeping things mum lol

AnonDive said in a comment that they were "on a bit of a hiatus" which went against everything they had promised earlier in the year in that they said they'd be doing their best to get things out faster for the next season.

But honestly I'm more intrigued as to what they're gonna do now that itch.io cracked down and shadowbanned NOVEL at the very least. All the Canterlot stuff's still up, but NOVEL is fuckin gone man lol
