[MrTrue]

Hopefully we are close to a release but for now...

At least this thread is doing better than most of the other games that are close to releases.

I think MrTrue meant that we wait patiently for the update, instead of writing six pages of complaints and insults over a delayed update as is the case in threads of other games

some "more" impatients will do that.

 

[MrTrue]

This game was for sure blessed with a more chill playerbase and is not as controversial as most of the other top games on here.
It also helps mods don't have to go through 1000 reported messages a day when something does get reported so we don't end up with those stupid off-topic rants and debates.

Now that said it might change quick if the delays keep happening like they have for the past year and counting.

 

[destrendi]

when the update

 

[Roman222]

when the update

beta is not started yet, so don't expect anything for two weeks, i guess

 

[Boobs Lover]

some "more" impatients will do that.

A few people will complain, a few people will complain out of several thousand players
The rest of the players know Photo Hunt is not created by a large dev studio and that the game is big, working on such a big game takes time.

Now that said it might change quick if the delays keep happening like they have for the past year and counting.

We always get a good product, updates are larger compared to other developers, there are lots of sex scenes, and extra scenes, wallpapers and remakes of old scenes make it something to wait for

The amount of renders, animations, and dialogue we get for each update in the pre-delay era was uncontested for sure.
Don't think the game ever had an update that was bad or disappointing which is pretty much unheard of for a game with this many updates to its name.
For the most part people who are curious about just a girl seem to be very fine with just waiting for them to get their individual update and for us that like all the girls we just get treated every update which really adds to how little hostility this thread has compared to almost all of F95 these days.

My only real concern is the fact that this update is only half the size of a regular update but has managed to push past the development time of a normal full-sized update which will hurt the value a lot.

 

[MrTrue]

Of course you can compare with bad games, but if you start comparing with the best:
Eternum - 1650 images in 8 months,
Pale Carnation - 3650 images in 9 months,
BaDik - if I remember correctly, there will be 7500 images in 14 months.
PHoto hunt - 263 images in 4 months. If you think what's happening with the latest updates is normal and you can wait more, okay

All of the game you just listed use 4-5 renders to what this game uses in 1 render cause they render out each expression change every 2-3 sentences.
Using the delay and the fact that this latest update is only half the size of a normal update is really unfair too.

So if we go by pre-delay numbers this game would do about 1500-2000 unique renders in 12 months which would technically be more output then the ones you listed.

There is only a couple scenes left to put in the game, and I'm finishing a rewrite of them right now, if I finish it today then GreenJ should need only a few days to finish the build

These are small scenes or remastered ones, so it should be quick, I think

I'm very happy for the Grace update; thnx for the response.

I have a few theories about this.
It's possible that the old and best writer (you know who i'm talking about) has to correct the dialogues after the previous amateur writer who screwed up the dialogues and that's why he's doing so slowly
The second theory is that the update is small to prepare the game for changes in the UI and the game code.
It's also possible that the Fiona update will contain a lot of connections to other characters (including Grace, maybe) and they wanted to prepare everything at the same time as the Grace update.

One thing is certain, Moochie protects Her secrets better than NASA

Could have been it if Moochie didn't already spoil why all the updates get delayed.

The second theory is that the update is small to prepare the game for changes in the UI and the game code.

I think the update is smaller because Moochie was happy with how Grace story turned out and she only had to do 1 route and not multiple like most of the other girls'.
So technically for 1 route we got more content than usual but overall if you play both routes of a character we got less content.
Kind of a glass half full or half empty kind of deal depending on who you ask.

One thing is certain, Moochie protects Her secrets better than NASA

She used to be very open and talking a lot until the delays started happening.
Now most of the time if she does talk outside of Discord it is just to say that she feels horrible about the delays happening in the first place.
I hope they can get it together again cause Moochie used to be so happy and cheerful in all her messages back then.

I think the update is just simply small because Moochie managed to put everything she wanted to tell with Grace story in less renders than usual since she only has to do 1 route for her and not split like most of the other characters.

That makes sense

She used to be very open and talking a lot until the delays started happening.
Now most of the time if she does talk outside of Discord it is just to say that she feels horrible about the delays happening in the first place.
I hope they can get it together again cause Moochie used to be so happy and cheerful in all her messages back then.

I was wrong, i thought Moochie's silence was a strategy against unwanted leakage of information
She should take some distance from it, the game is large and implementing everything is time-consuming.
Let's hope that better times will come someday.
I always wish Moochie good luck.

We should have a release next week then if everything goes well during testing.

As I said I only used the urm to give myself money.

Hey, kind soul.

I only use URM to see what my next choice gives me when at a decision point (points, etc.) Can you explain how one could use it to cheat money?

Many thanks!

 

[blkcrow20]

Find that variable for money and change the amount.
