In the end, Alorth was able to get and keep Sir Damned on track.

This is great news!

I'd like to see Alorth and Sir Damned both come out with a future update schedule - are they targeting 2 more updates this year or three, for example.

If we can get a consistent update schedule with a new release every 3/4 months - that would be great news!

Cheers!! :coffee:

0.5.2 is the final 30% of 0.5 which would have 0.5+0.5.2 at a combined 10000 lines of code if your numbers are correct.
And he did come out and say that 0.6 was smaller than 0.5.
Chapter 5 (v0.5.2) total = 6,693 lines of code.
Chapter 6 (v0.6) total = 7,330 lines of code.

So Ch6 is definitely larger.

Also it's important to note that Ch5 only had 12 animations. Ch6 has 27.

Chapter 5
6,693 code-lines total
708 renders total
12 animations total

Chapter 6
7,330 code-lines total
700 renders total
27 animations total

Also iirc he said the opposite: that CH6 would be slightly larger. Not vice versa. A few months back devs mentioned "restructuring" the game's chapters to better align with a 4-month update schedule. Some updates were massive, with over 1k renders and ~20 animations (which is significant, considering the game's production quality and overall polish). So around 700 renders and 12-20 animations per chapter, with about 1-1.5hrs of story will likely be the standard moving forward for 4mo. updates.

I'll add one more note to this, which is that scriptwriting does take a significant amount of time, and the size of a games script is what extends the avg. person's playtime the most, not the amount of renders. Something could easily be 700 renders and over 3 hours in length story-wise... especially in a game that has branching and varying paths.

I always use that excuse when I'm broke
I support multiple developers, thankfully money hasn't been a problem for me for a long time. I'm just not giving it to someone who lies to their customers. That's a principle of mine I try to never break. But everyone is free to do as they please, it's their money after all.

Anyone played the update yet? Any worthwhile scenes or its more blueballing and scenes with side characters that doesn't matter to the story?

I haven't played the update yet, but it will surely happen the second you say more than the first.

The first 5 chapters of the game has 3 full blown sex scenes, one with a major character (the triplets mom) and two with recurring characters who are relevant to the story. That's not including 7 additional scenes that include third base or some form of oral sex. That's not including all of the other lewd occurrences, such as dark content including spanking, belting, baths, etc. ← Again, all of which happen with characters who are important, or major in the story.

You have a weird definition of blueballing.

But yes, there is a full fledged sex scene in Ch6 as well as more oral sex with yet another story-relevant girl and even a masturbation scene featuring a major character. Won't say more for fear of spoiling. There is even a chance of pregnancy in this one.

Not sure, but calling this "blueballing" but having at the same time "Hillside" as a sig does not match for me...

This game has very good pacing, I have always said it, the problem is that that 14 month bump really distorted reality

Let's just say you wont be disappointed with ch6 then

Yeah +1 to this, important to separate real-world/dev time from actual in-game time, but with the actual in-game time considered the sexual content moves pretty fast

Don't get me wrong, I also like Hillside. But again: calling this blueballing but liking at the same time Hillside only shows me you wanted to complain here no matter what.
if you're an actual fan of HS, then you should know why there is no sex scenes yet and how out of place a sex scene would be in the game right now....Further more, blue balling means you are teased but then stopping right before. HS doesn't even do that but focus entirely on story telling.

So you're criticism of me doesn't make sense from any angle.
