Akabur has been lazy with Star Channel writing and Hermione's route is a absolute nostalgia bait.
Loved every moment of her.

No he couldnt, he have TONS of supportes and didnt release shit in the last years. So the only one to blame is himself.Akabur could blame supporters that rushed him
Correct me if I'm wrong, but the reason he didn't release shit in the last years is because he only drops complete versions (so no beta releases), and I'm pretty sure that his last poll had proven that majority of his subs are okay with that system:he have TONS of supportes and didnt release shit in the last years .
According to the results a big portion of you would like to see some BETA releases, but the majority is still for finished game being dropped when it's ready. Personally I think I will just continue to do things the way I have always done them, but maybe release some sort of DEMO at some point.
Star Channel was episodic. I'm not sure if his next project with April is part of SC2 or independent.Correct me if I'm wrong, but the reason he didn't release shit in the last years is because he only drops complete versions (so no beta releases), and I'm pretty sure that his last poll had proven that majority of his subs are okay with that system:
yes, it probably would and I imagine he is just checking to make sure.Star Channel was episodic. I'm not sure if his next project with April is part of SC2 or independent.
Yes most of his games have been complete releases, a lot of this is due to Princess Trainer leaking and getting scared of legal action fromHermioneWitch Trainer.
The release schedule is his prerogative. I find that projects with monthly and bi-monthly release schedule are really just trying to capture the subscription payments and will often release minimal content. I think that pressure also creates discontent and burn out causing projects to fail.
As for asking polls of his subscribers that will get a skewed response as the answers will come from people already willing to pay.
Judging by Akabur's posts it's safe to assume that the next game will be closer to QT - a standalone game with its story being a fragment of SC season 2.Star Channel was episodic. I'm not sure if his next project with April is part of SC2 or independent.

Well, I mean, considering that his subs are the ones who have a voice in this matter, and especially the fact that in the aforementioned poll majority of them (people who are already paying money) specifically voted against having beta-releases and clearly willing to wait for the finished product instead...As for asking polls of his subscribers that will get a skewed response as the answers will come from people already willing to pay.
That's also how games get NTR, Furry, Pregnancy, etc inserted into them along with other scope creep. I think Summertime Saga, and Taffy Tales is an excellent example of player/supporter induced scope creep. Those games should have ended so they could have started a sequel, instead they are now in production hell.Well, I mean, considering that his subs are the ones who have a voice in this matter

I mean, Akabur's games kind of already have the things you've mentioned, though?.. But if seriously, there's no evidence of him going out of his way and introducing stuff he's not into just to please the paying audience. Rather, it's kind of the opposite - he asked if he should make some changes in the development process (distributing the beta-releases among the subs), or let things remain as they were (which he seems to be more comfortable with), to which his paying customers chose the latter (which, I guess, shows their trust in his abilities?). Plus, Akabur had already proven himself to be capable of releasing a finished product (unlike the devs of the aforementioned games).That's also how games get NTR, Furry, Pregnancy, etc inserted into them along with other scope creep.

you missed the point that it builds an echo chamberI mean, Akabur's games kind of already have the things you've mentioned, though?
has he? PT was closest to finished product and he still came back with PTG to fix (and milk) it. WT garnered a lot of negative criticism for feeling hollow and rushed. SC34 was episodic and lost the plot. QT was such a wreck that his friends insisted on adding art and more before releasing to an artificial set date. Even then it's got a lot og negative energy. He seems better at doing just enough to keep subscribers (whose numbers are on the decline) and then dumping projects to lack luster receptionPlus, Akabur had already proven himself to be capable of releasing a finished product
To be fair, Gold Edition of PT was very good, worth the milking.you missed the point that it builds an echo chamber

And you've missed the point that this product has its audience - PAYING audience, who seem to be enjoying the product they get in return. I'd say it's arguably the only audience that deserves their echo-chamber.you missed the point that it builds an echo chamber
And yet all of these games are fully completed - both technically and gameplay/story-wise. The fact that they have some downsides (either objective or subjective - I'm not sure that this popular opinion "SC34/QT is garbage because it's different from PT/WT!!!" you can hear most often counts as a legit criticism though) can only be attributed to Akabur's taste (or lack of thereof) and attempts to experiment (successful or not). Can you really compare that to the actual trainwrecks like Summertime Saga with a straight face?has he? PT was closest to finished product and he still came back with PTG to fix (and milk) it.

I think you're in the wrong thread. This is Queen Trainer, not Princess Trainer.I just finished Princess Trainer, again after at least 6 years? Strange I had not paid a revisit earlier.
I'll go in more details at later dates. Now I can say the game doesnt age very well. I did enjoy it, with a few hiccups. and the game isnt as that finished as I remember, partly because of that obviously rushed ending original and extended? or Akabur always leaves me empty and wanting more with his game.
Akabur isRunning unren breaks the game.
Akabur is from Russia, not Ukraine, wtf you are talking about? He explicitly says so Witch Trainer. Also "before 2022 most of citizens of Ukraine speak only in russian" - is "technically correct", but it really depends on the region. Western regions in Ukraine and Belarus speak mostly not Russian - at least from my experience. I think many h-devs are indeed from Ukraine and Russia - because our cultures are way more relaxed about sex, unlike western puritansSlow down a bit, please. Almost all Ukrainian people speak russian. Before 2022 most of citizens of Ukraine speak only in russian (even Zelensky learn ukrinian in 2021 - check this fact). There are strong culture connections between two countries and people, and big company to switch primary language to ukrainian starting only on 2022 as answers of current conflict.
By that way language in games means nothing. And I support point that most of H-devs are Ukraine citizens. Honestly I don't know why.
Really? Are u pretty sure? You remember all range of russian IP's?
True, he just a patreon post about it and has had discussions about getting payments because of his residency.Akabur is from Russia
Disagree, its much more complex than that. Remember that the US has been on the forefront of technology for the last 50+years and a lot of that tech acceptance is has been helped by delivering porn to the masses (internet, vhs, etc ). So its less about the mature content and a larger swath of reasons like the hustle to capitalizing on the market, a less caring attitude towards IP rights of western goods, along with the availability of so many esluts on social media, only fans, etcI think many h-devs are indeed from Ukraine and Russia - because our cultures are way more relaxed about sex, unlike western puritans
I dont know where is that "russian being acceptive toward sex" coming from, babushka spanks your ass harder than dad if she just sees you sit wrong, you'd get the picture of what she would do if she finds you use that ass stupidly.True, he just a patreon post about it and has had discussions about getting payments because of his residency.
