Hey Kaffekop, are we close to the release of the latest update? Thanks.
Actually, it's high time we had 0.7 so that we could move on to 0.8. Last I remember, I played the bugfix 0.6.1 in May 2019. Granted that Kaffekop went through a rollercoaster of health issues but he's fairly active in the past few months and from what I gather, 0.7 is
almost ready. It'll be great if ardent fans (like me ;-)) at least have a beta, we give feedback and KK can then fix the bugs to shelve out a polished version.
That being said, if the game is planned for 2.0 and KK is already moving on to Project X as he teased, it is best for him to get more bandwidth - better rig, more artists/devs and writers. AFAIK, there's only 1 more person, who writes/tests before the release, which for the planned SotF and further projects is too short but I confess I don't know what's the team setup. That can get the positive circle going ; bigger team --> consistent update cycle --> more patrons --> steady income stream --> faster updates.
There are so few games here where you take the time to download, play, get hooked to the story, invest in the characters, want to see them have a deserved ending. If you get super hot scenes, IMHO, that's the bonus despite these VN's intended purpose. SotF is one of them, it's sad to see it not getting the limelight it deserves and it will only happen if people play it often.
