I can imagine the dev needs a vacation, if his feedback consists of 99% whiny cunts.

That’s business for you. Grow a thicker skin or get out. And it’s not whining to say the developer is focusing too much on the minigame aspect instead of the lewd aspect. Not to mention, the minigames themselves offer pitiful rewards for the time & effort invested.
we are 14 updates into the story, and Eva has done exactly one handjob. We have crossed the point of calling it “slowburn” and are well into the “wandering” territory.

Don't bother, this type of people always complain, and probably when update is out are the first ones to play it
. And after say: Minigames bad, boring no stuff, why sandbox and things like that. 15 updates in this one and they can't move on it seems.Whining about game specific things is well... normal ? Although it was obvoius from the start that the game is intended to be played like that regardless of some puzzle diffficulty. The problem mostly relies now on communication, since we don't know actually what's going even with the previous post "releasing this month" -> its been 2 weeks from that. So i truly hope dev. start to be active again like in the beggining with Coms., who know maybe his will to continue got deflated.

Only good thing about the game is the female MC, and that's the only reason I am curious. Everything else is pretty bad.Don't bother, this type of people always complain, and probably when update is out are the first ones to play it
The game it's not even a slow burn, it's just slow with no content, and if there is content it's blurred behind a glass door

That's your opinion I suppose, because I think game it's good, content is there, maybe now a bit slower since instead of 1 month update seems will be 2, but maybe will be more on the next.
I like the fact that is different from other games and actually you have to do those minigames and interact with enviroment collecting things , reminds me of 2020/2021 RPGM games golden age, that nowadays are practically over. If you don't like this type of gameplay, move on, not your thing obviously.

The problem is that the rewards for said minigames are pathetic; you need almost-perfect scores to get the “lewd” renders. And that’s in addition to the main story being starved of lewd content - Eva’s arc is a slowburn, fine, but the player doesn’t even get to see the rest of the girls do anything serious (and we know they are!).
It’s been over a year, with 15 updates, and we don’t have a single proper sex scene viewable anywhere.

Ok let's get by parts, about the score don't know what you mean, but you can skip A and B missions till boss scenario with what sister of Chang provides, C and D missions are a joke. About the rewards, well, for me as you said it's a slow burn but good made, nobody passes in 4 days with a couple from all life to whoring as a monkey, needless to say if they did anything sexual in their life.
About the content with other girls, from what I watched, seems it's on the John gameplay almost everything, in Eva's is when they are with her only trying to corrupt her more, unless affects the story (brothel or disco scene).
The main problem I'm watching with the game is that needs a Walkthought to know the things there are in the game for people complaining, for example, it's easy to miss the chests keys on minigames for the dress to the dance in last update on tower, I discovered all that exploring the map, understandable you don't find it or enjoy, it has nothing to do with the main story.

It's finally out.
He's blocked comments on Patreon and says he'll now post a progress update every two weeks.
I wonder how many Patreons he's lost to make this decision.

The dev sucks with the game's promotion, some rpg games still are pretty famous for example a struggle with sins, i hope haldane starts doing good promotion for the game, the content and story is good, ofcourse the progress is slow but u can compensate that by providing quality content... Let's hope the game does good

Someone please, tell me if he went even harder on the minigames with 0.16 (the latest update), I need to know if he learned anything
I feel bad that he lost some follows, even tho he sill delivered peak quality content. He even kept his word on updates being between 1 month - 1 month and 2/3 weeks.

0.16
thanks for the headsup. i'll come back when there's another ntr target other than the generic and rather dull athletic BBC

The thing about minigames when it comes to game development, if it's not a given clue yet to Game Devs to make the minigames simple, straightforward, direct, easy to get into, and not some tedious repetitive mediocre thing, then they're never gonna make it. Especially for an RPG Maker Game. The biggest problem with minigames is that a lot of Game Devs think they're going to succeed at being innovative, not everyone can do it. With this game, the only minigame I've had problems with was the circle minefield color variation one, I still to this day could not figure it out, so I had to cheese it with MTool.
All the rest of the minigames in this game, while most of it seem simple enough to get it first try, the problem is that they become repetitive, tedious, and mediocre. It's like those minigames in other RPG Maker games where the Dev tried to make job tasks while the character is at work a little different and "innovative", but all they did was make it unnecessarily ridiculous, some of those minigames tried to force the player to remember a customers orders and bring them the correct order to their tables, others were button-mash memory or a timed click event etc.
At least this games Game Dev made most of the minigames more engaging. But at the same time, I ended up hating most of the minigames when they led to less than mediocre scene rewards that basically went no where.
I get why a lot of people who've been following this game far longer than myself might get mad and demand some quality content for their support, and I agree with them, but I'd far more prefer a game developer to make their games the way they want it above what their customers are demanding. That said, a game dev ignoring feedback with no communication with their customers is often a bad mix. Game devs don't need to cave and/ or cater towards the demands of their customers every whim, but some communication to let their customers know what future developments are being worked on is always appreciated.
