You’re literally going against your own FAQ my dude.

What are the contradictions?

If you join my Discord server, there's a FAQ. Even that, I never said there won't be any throuple. All I said is that "Past Tense is not intended to be a harem game" Which I stick by. there's a differences between harem and throuple.

Strawman.

Not sure how to make sens of Amanda attitude toward the mc when i see how he act around her or even in general.

Overall, Mystery and all is fine, and i know it's just two chapter with not much content yet but i dont see the point of hidding every little details about everyone life like that, (particulary things mc know) when we, as player dont know anything about them to begin with.

It would have been nice to have at least some kind of general resume of mc's life before the story begin or something like that, otherwise how are we supposed to make choice for him?
I'm just hopping that it doesnt take to long in terms of chapter to learn them.

 

[HowieGames]

Strawman.

How's that a strawman? You could literally google it and both have different meaning.

Started playing. Spoilers ahead!

1) "Not actual sister" and "not actual father" from Agnes is rather funny.
2) Why do I feel like you reworked Robert's model, from the start no less? I remember him being the worst model in the game by far, and now he looks okay.
3) Agnes uses "tits" on MC. It isn't effective.
4) Aha, Chasing Sunsets's MC cameos! You know what that means? Welcome to the Lexiverse!
5) Damn, Rosie looks much better with tied hair.

Completed. I agree it was pretty short, but I don't think these visuals are mid, they are way above average to me. I do think having MC always reject Agnes is a missed opportunity to add an early lewd.

I'm now trying to figure out all the connections.
1) Rosie. She's the easiest - the MC's stepsister. Her dad was abusive to the MC, who then left. So far, so good.
2) Agnes. The MC's friend from when he was away, who he eventually hooked up with. When he decided to leave and go help Rosie, Agnes got salty because she'd started catching feelings. Robert's sister?
3) Yola. A criminal, so, automatically, my least favourite option. Also, the GF of the local criminal kingpin who searches for someone who might be the MC. Also, she possibly dates Amanda on the side? All in all, avoid at all costs.
4) Amanda. Angela's tenant or servant. Dates Yola? Shares a tragic past with the MC. Possibly his ex or someone he unwillingly hurt a lot in some other way.
5) Angela. The local MILF philantropist. An aunt or a family friend; the latter is more probable as Amanda would know Angela's nephews otherwise. Probably gonna be my canon pick, as I agree with this:

So, the new info we got for that:

1) Rosie. No new info really. She used to stay at Angela's before, but it's no surprise.
2) Agnes. Tried to seduce MC just as I suspected, but failed to do so, that's a surprise considering the size of those tits.
3) Yola: met MC and connected him to Leon much sooner than I thought. Is he in trouble?
4) Amanda: got recognized by MC from earlier but not from the distant past they supposedly share.
5) Angela: confirmed to be MC's relative of some sort but also to want to fuck him. That… opens up possibilities.

The Sugar Mommy and The Red Tits continue to be my priorities. However, MC being canonically uninterested in Agnes to the point of rejecting her immediately with his hand put on her tit and necessitating Robert to explain the situation to him kinda dampens her path and my intent to follow it.

Thanks for playing!
I'm glad that you liked the update <3 Love all the points you mentioned as well, it lifted me up as a developer, I'm really happy if people notice these little things I put in the game. Thank you for the review! <3

I'm just that broke
my currency is 0,000060 of USD, so that ain't helping as well.
I currently have rx 6500 xt (I bought it before I'm a developer) and as you guys know, AMD cards won't work with Daz.

And throughout the entire past year of Patreon subscriptions, you never managed to save up for a new GPU that would be the best possible investment for earning ever more money, since you know: faster updates = more subscriptions on Patreon? You would practically make your investment back in 2 months already.

Times are tough, but you still need to consider the long term to get ahead of the situation, not short term.

You can use your RX 6500XT, if you're willing to tinker and switch from Iray (the only actual limitation) to Blender. It would take some time to set up, but it will increase your work speed. It sure worked for me after my switch from a GTX 1060 6GB to a Radeon 9060XT 16GB, both OC versions. As I said, Iray is the only reason why you can't use an AMD gpu, because it's developed by nVidia. Licensing issues and I doubt nVidia wants its biggest competitor to take over.

I'll explain a little and for disclaimer, I don't have any intentions to complain or I'm not being ungrateful. Just for transparency.

So throughout the year with Past Tense chapter one, there are less than 20 people that are paid members on my Patreon. I have 5-6 paid members up until April. after that up until December before chapter 2 release I barely got 20 people of paid members. My highest earnings from Patreon at my peak is hardly 40$. Then I have to cut that to buy some 3D assets, also have some increase on electricity bills since I'm working a lot with my PC, I do some upgrade on My SSD, also just upgrade my RAM to 32gb last year.

I work as a delivery guy, same like uber eats but from local company. I can justify spending a lot of my time for the game and not working here and there cause I made some money from it. If not then I'll be kicked out from my house Again, I'm not trying to complain or being ungrateful here. I just saying this to be transparent with you guys. I understand that the current development time is garbage, and I hope I can fix that soon...

 

[SpyderArachnid]

Eh, not sure on this one. Just really confusing honestly.

So yeah, couldn't get into it. Was just lost on most things and confused all around. Either way, best of luck with this and thanks.

 

[SafeForSure]

It's not bad only really short. Wish we get more backstory I'm really curious.

Fair enough. But something has to give, because at this pace, you're not going to grow enough to earn a comfortable amount from Patreon. Upgrading your GPU should be #1 priority (outside of not ending up homeless, that is)... if you really want to make it.

Yeah, it is my top priority right now.
And like I said, if things are stable, next month hopefully I can buy a GPU.

Just keep doing what you are doing and add some backstory the game really needs it. If we get more regular updates and find out the things you will add or don't add you also probably get more support. I am also thinking of subscribing but really want to see where it is going first.

Yes, I'll try my best for the next update!
Hopefully with more things revealed, It'll clear more questions Thank you so much for giving it a try! <3

No problem I really like it and always try to support developers. The problem a lot of people are reluctant now is a bunch of devs changed tags mid game or added forced content people don't like so it's good to make sure you point out your plans.
