That's the thing, they been doing a disastrous work, using Godot for a VN, making 3D rooms for 2D models to just stand there, hiring teams for writing and drawing, i mean, it's all stupid ideas(not that much if you can do a decent development), and adding that they didn't release a demo after 4 years of development. Also even saying that the first day it's already bigger than the whole previous game, like, you say something like that and still don't release a simple demo? There's something that doesn't add up.

I swear to God that porn game devs are greedier than the people with the big noses and tiny hats.

Here is the thing. If they were making Snow Daze Plus all of that would be perfectly sensible. Something along the lines of expanding each day with a couple of extra interactions or adding post game content of sorts, maybe even adding some tropical daze stuff. Making the game operate in 3D space even when using all 2D assets would make those kinds of additions easier and less prone to bugs.

However they are obviously not doing anything of the sorts so its really just wasted effort at best or a straight up scam at worst. Either way I personally blame Patreon and Subscribe star for not having a stricter policy regarding this sort of stuff. Things can get off track in development but by my count Cypress Zeta is cumulatively a decade behind his own schedule.

For some perspective on what's happening content-wise, there is more art in Day 0/Day 1 than the entire original game. Redaze has significantly more content in all regards. We have fully expanded the day system, implementing dialogue-based permutations to add more situations for character development and give players the opportunity to get to know these characters more deeply.

Regarding the overall narrative execution, we looked at bigger-budget games to give us insight on how we handle character interactions. We aim to "Gamify" the dialogue by taking some ideas from titles such as Deus EX: Human Revolution, Fallout/Oblivion, and Vampire of the Masquerade. Taking inspiration from the right sources will make our conversation systems more engaging and allow more opportunities to expand on characters.

Really just read the whole thing it's not that long. Also they mention adding animations at the end.

Yep, it's the people feeding this stupid devs and Patreon/Subscribestar fault that this happens so often. If they were a little more strict with the people making content we wouldn't have this kind of problems, like, you're a dev? Ok we need proof of work every 6 months, you're an artist? Ok we need to see you drawing, you're trying to accomplish a project? Ok show us progress. If you fail at any of those check without real proof of problems, then gtfo of the platform.

They said a lot of things but there's no proof of anything, besides, 4 years and only animations on the end having hired a team of writers and art? Either you have like more than half summertime saga size game or you just eaten all the money.

And like i said so many times, you're making a VN, a kind of yes or no game, you just click options, unless they add mini games and stuff, theres no excuses here.

These are some wet dreams of a schoolboy.
Patreon, SS, Fanbox, Fanita and other platforms benefit from users paying authors, regardless of the quality and quantity of content.
The problem is only the brazen devs, nothing more.

Oh don't get me wrong, I'm not saying they will deliver. There is quite some work because all art assets are being redone to have consistency (which original game lacked). But anyway, my point was just stop spreading lies.
I think we should consider the project dead and if (big if) it ends up coming out, then great.

If it comes out, everyone should pirate it.
