You have to raise an invisible corruption value to select them, which can be done by losing a few times through sex (by either spending too long in battle, or turning on horny mode.) After that just replay mission by selecting the horny option, only notable change doing so is allowing you to skip one of the bandit battles.
Horny mode only affects battle, you have to grind your corruption through battle harrasement and loss before option unlocks.

I personally do mind if the game is moving backwards and i think a lot of people do.
How can you say that when we have games like Edge of Eternity made by 4 devs? Or Bright Memory made by a solo dev? It's just patreon devs that are typical lazy and milkers and they don't have any reason to speed up the process of development. Next stage will be a remake of remake.

The thing about the original formula is that it gave more of a sense of "control" to the player to let/make H things happen.
Now it just feels reduced to a CG viewer with a minigame before it.
I'm a huge harassment during combat person, so to see that minimalized at the moment is pretty tough.
Just hope the dev takes some of the feedback and can reign in the concept while also keeping it at a workload that works for them.
Good luck!

what I noticed was that was that person you responded to made his one, and only post there, now I wonder if it was a fan or a shill!

Games like Bright Memory stand out because it is out of the ordinary for one person, an animator/artist even, to make a game like Bright Memory on their own.
I'm not here to defend Velminth, it's clear their behaviour is justifiably drawing ire, but expecting everyone to be an outstanding single person army is a bit much. Vel would've been making enough money to hire ppl to handle the parts of the game dev process they were having trouble with, and should have. On the other hand, this game seems to be more of a proper art project in their eyes, which I assume is why they didn't hand off control, and why redesigns happen often as they change their mind. (This is why proper big devs never put anything out in the alpha phase cause the game will change a lot)
Again, not excusing the bait and switch or the slow pace. But, it is their own project and expecting every dev to work at a special case pace isn't super reasonable (assuming they were full time at all, which it didn't feel like but IDK for sure). Add on that all the Saria content was freely available, not paygated behind patreon, and I think this is more a case of Hanlon's Razor.
It is also unreasonable to expect people to support a project that no longer is the game they pledged for, so I hope all those supporters pull support to show they don't like the new direction. The right thing to do by Vel is to provide refunds to some extent to their supporters, but I somehow doubt that will be happening

That would be a step in the right direction, but like you said, it's not going to happen.The right thing to do by Vel is to provide refunds to some extent to their supporters, but I somehow doubt that will be happening

holy shit, i come back to see this is now rated lower than fucking CoC2, and is on pace to be rated lower than slop like Luna in the Tavern in a matter of days

Damn, after reading the changelog, even if the volume of work was massive for the devs, on the end user's side it pretty much boils down to "Same shit, different day."

Figured I'd weigh in as someone that just tried both versions of the game last night without prior expectation. The current version is *fine* , I think the cards work a lot better than the rpg system if they'd balance out difficulty but I don't understand why they couldn't keep the overworld . Like yeah I'm sure it took a lot of work but if you drop it it just feels like a cheapo run of the mill VN. It loses a lot of identity in favor of stream lining progression and I feel there could be a compromise to be made. I mean I THINK the overworld was cut due to effort and not out of new artistic vision.
This game now is really unpolished, agree 100% and I think that he decided to publish it to also check community response... and he got it
I personally think that community overreacted.
You are right in general, but you can't apply this approach to porn game industry - it's way to small. I have to quote this conversation and this one again, sigh.
I think that people overreacted and game are not that bad at all - I personally like it; but dev's behavior with sudden "bait and switch" action, rudeness towards supporters, hate towards objective critique can't be justified.
He will probably readd most of it later on, but who knows.
Based.

I knew from the get-go he was biting off more than he could chew, he had some great ideas and the original direction of the game was great and he had great foundation to build on but it was just too much so he probably gave up and was like "I just wanna actually finish this game" instead of working on it for 2+ years for a real 5-star game. I just felt it lacked story elements up until the change of direction from a talent system/skill based to a card game. At that point, I knew the element of the game was gonna change and I was less drawn to it(I'm a sucker for talent/skill based games). Around the beginning I almost subscribed on Patreon but wanted to see some more content and where he was going before investing. Glad I dodged that bullet and went with another developer. I do commend him for great art and character looks/designs(probably the best I've seen personally) and will likely add it as a spank-bank game but will unlikely buy it/subscribe unless he went with original vision and game play of the original game. I hope he enjoys the game he makes but I feel its just like a VN with a couple extra steps, I'd rather just play Last Evil if i wanted a card game and get 3d animations.

Quite the case for a lot of western developers of adult games really, development either drags on for far too long, feeding crumbs of updates every x amount of time or loses the original vision of what they wanted for the project. I still don't understand how people keep financing these kinds of projects. Sunken cost fallacy? Hell, I don't even know anymore.
Not sure it gets much worse than Monster Girl Island dev, Haha holy crap it was such a tease xD
They took their mix of Karryn's Prison with a lisa overworld and changed both aspects to pseudo Library of Ruina instead.
