Oh patreon says he's gonna use AI lmao
Agree 100%, this and the previous games from alek are some of the best futa games that i had found, the situation is that Alek wasn't satisfied with a visual novel with multiple choices, he wanted to do a more complex game, i had followed the development of the game before he decided to start from scratch, the idea he had was to implement a much more complex system to determine npc's mood, levels of attraction to the mc, and even influence the course of the sex scenes based on that, but he was a little bit much ambitious for his own good, i think that he had get much better results finnishing this game as a VN, and in parallel start the development of a completely new game with the complex mechanics and system that he had in mind, even if that slowed the development of village of centaurs.

Damn, so this is the reason he took this direction shift for two years and effectively releasing a glorified demo?
Man, that was sad since the old game was already pretty good (imo). I am
Honestly i don't know if he will recover fast or not, because he already have a bunch of scenes that could be re use in this new version of the game, but that is another reason why he took so much time, he worked a way to reduce the size of the scenes and his variations, he did some calculations considering the ammount of content that the game should have once is finnished and the result was something between 96 and a 100 GB for the entire game, far too big to be considered feasible, so he optimized and shrinked the size of the animations, and also did a bunch of optimizations that i don't remeber right now, so for now, he will have to re draw and re animate everything, may be he will take a little bit less time to animate a scene because he will use AI to assist him with the back grounds and minor things, but all the characters will be drawed by him.
if anything, the shrinkage of game sounds bad becuse it might affect his creativity and approach on animations to streamline them too much and in the process possibly cut out everything that is possible out of this neccessity, which could make the game content and scenes poorer and instead of looking customized it might look too much like assembly line work. thats just an assumption tho. at the same time im drained of all hope too, but kinda interested if indeed this game will recover anyhow and suprise everyone.
is this still active or did the project died?
this is one of the actually fun to play games ^^'

Wow, I played this game years ago and remembered it was really good. Now I ended up with a basic demo. Really sad ! Story was good, art was decent, game was fun. Hope the dev will recover.

my game keeps closing randomly with no crash log to copy. anyone else have this problem? whatd you do to fix it
Does version 1.0 has more content than episode 5 or am I doing something wrong, because in ep5 I dont see area in the back of the camp with Gulivel for example, but someone said to download the ep5 version to enjoy the game before it got fucked so I am a bit confused now.

He's pretty much revamped the game at this point so its gonna be quite different once the actual thing releases (I think).
Just a matter of how satisfying will re-ep1. be for them patrons I suppose.

WIP 05/26/2025
Hey everyone, good morning!
Quick update:
The release is scheduled for the end of June.
Writing and multimedia files are now 80% implemented in the game, including all four animations.
The only thing left is the adaptation of the final scene, which acts as a bridge to Chapter 2, marking the official entry into the Fantasy setting.
It’s been about six months since the last release—way too long for my taste.
The reasons?
My usual curse: perfectionism... and a whole bunch of drawings!
Luckily, as I’ve mentioned before, that part is becoming easier to manage thanks to AI.
But I believe the real issue has been a lack of method in handling both writing and artwork.
Old method:
If a chapter had 5 scenes, I’d write and draw them one by one:
Say I came up with a great idea for scene 3, but it contradicted something I’d already done in scene 1—
I’d have to go back, rewrite, delete some drawings, or in the worst case, make new ones.
New method:
Now I write all five scenes first, adding quick sketches (storyboards),
and only start full illustrations once everything is ready.
This greatly reduces contradictions and the need for changes.
I now realize I stubbornly clung to the wrong approach for way too long.
Probably because I’ve always seen myself as a worker ant—head down, get the job done.
But to build an anthill, you need management, vision, structure, and method.
(Screenwriting and directing, basically.)
Was it obvious? Probably.
Was I slow to figure it out? Absolutely.
But as the wise say: “The hardest thing to do is unlearn.”
Yeah, I think I’ve had a real level up.
And I believe this first chapter, together with demo 2.0, marks a fresh new beginning.
I truly admire your patience.
I’m aware that you’re witnessing my artistic growth—full of mistakes, wins, and setbacks.
BUT!!
We’re still here.
Big hug.
Alek.

So If I play the episode 6 I can start from the episode 1 and eventually go to episode 6 by progressing?

I gave up on this game a long time ago, but the fact that I'm still here and reading this makes me realize how good a game it was and how much fun I had playing it. I think I had more fun than Star Periphery.

No. Episode 5 is everything that came before it in one, Alek should have called it 'Version' instead of 'Episode'.
Episode/Version 6 is a complete redesign that only has two characters with a handful of scenes (no story, cutscenes or dialogue).
Episode 6 was supposed to be like a proof of concept for the new sex system Alek wanted instead of the dedicated sex scenes for each character/scenario.
