Why so many of you are complaining about bunk updates as if you came here for a story ? Watch friggin Star trek if that's what you 're here for.
i mean, yeah, I kinda did. A CGI (IMO) can never compete with actual mp4 porn in visuals, so if I wanted to look at boobies, or even special fetishy boobies, I would just pull out "crazy cheerleader vacation 13" or whatever. For me and some other people, the whole point is that you read the plot, and through the plot get certain associations with certain characters. I'm not choosing between DD-cup brunette and a C-cup brown girl. If i did, i would pick one, B-line for her, then download the next game. I am choosing between a bully, a childhood crush, etc - Lana Roades just doesn't give me that experience, bc Lana Roades talks to the cameraman for 30 secs about how big she likes her dicks, and then the plot abruptly stops. That's why there are games with literally no images - you just get horny off the characters, that remind you of somebody you wanted to fuck in real life, or just some trope or situation you dig.
The problem is, this game doesn't do that much characterisation anymore, and the CGIs don't pull their weight alone.

I very much agree to your first paragraph above. Porn games provide obviously a different experience than porn clips.
However, i would alter your last sentence to:
"The problem is, this game doesn't do that much characterisation anymore at the moment, and the CGIs alone don't pull their weight for me."

I believe we are at a stage at the moment in which primarily general, perhaps even generic scenes are added to fill the freeroam section with content. This doesn't mean there will not be anymore characterisation and plot with our fellow cadets and ship staff in the future. I'd recommened to give it some time, because your assessment seems to be a bit premature.
We are looking at monthly updates right now, and they have to be of a smaller scope than we are used to. If one creates content for like 30 characters (size of the virtual stable) there will always like 90% of them not be featured in a single update, especially in a monthly one.

yeah, but then maybe you also shouldn't do a special

I think "Special" may simply be a poor word choice, because unless I've missed something it is just a normal update, I think the Dev was just playing with giving each update an amusing "chapter" label, and failed to note what "special" means in common usage.
But who knows, maybe something "special" will happen in the second part.

People of different tastes will never understand each other or whatever. My point was however that those people seeems like didn't want any sexual content in an adult game whatsoever and were obsessed with just moving the story forward CHRONOLOGICALY for heaven's sake while sacrificing the very chracterization you advocate for.

My complaint about the new updates was that in the second season he doesn't use the virtual stable characters much while delegating instead the development to other creators whose input seems very much out of place in the game.

Don't know who "those people" are (am I these people?) but my main complaint about The Year Of The Bunk was that it was boooooooring and mostly consisted of the MC reading other people's memories of having sex. I'm not too fussed about the plot, it's mostly nonsense anyway, but I would prefer some sort of story that involved the MC as something other than a spectator.

I of course don't know if it's the case here, but if i were RanliLabz, it would look like a good idea to outsource unimportant content to other creators, while i am working on the important stuff which includes the main NPCs. So i could put out rather regularly monthly updates, which a lot of players desire, and every 3rd month or so i can add my own content, which drives the plot forward. Seems to be the best of two worlds, although not as ideal as original content every month, which is probably just not doable. Just look at the update intervalls in season one, and how F95ZONE members get salty if they have to wait a bit longer for them.

Now that's at least a reasonable point. Personally I didn't find the bunk updates boring but arguing about tastes is a special olympics discipline so I won't do it.

can someone tell me what a "bunk update" is, I see a few of you using the term and I'm still not sure what you mean by it.

it's also infamous because it dragged forever (because the dev continued to add content so the updates became more irregularly timed and huge, and not every people liked the concept -I actually enjoyed them a lot because they give a big amount of lore and stories of the world and of the main love interests, but, as other people have said, it's kind of pointless debating about personal taste, let's say that, in the most neutral terms possible, it was divisive in the fandom)

The series of updates involving the conversations in the bunks (more or less) rounding out season 1.

So I was way off, I suspected "Bunk" might relate to "Bunkum" or "Debunk".

Personally I'm ambivalent about those updates, On one hand I'd prefer it if it moved forward a little faster, but I also like world building and exploring the histories of the characters. but ultimately it shouldn't matter what the masses think, the Dev should be left alone to pursue his vision without being harassed, you can't please everyone... and he shouldn't try, that way lies the path to homogenized crap, IMO nothing great was ever created by committee.

Speaking of which I'm not sure about all the outsourced content, one of the things I liked about this game was it tried to balance the choices available to the MC, be gay, straight or explore everything, but these new updates really limit these options.
Hopefully it'll balance out, I'd love to know how much direction RanliLabz is giving these guest creators, are they making this content under commission, with a strict set of criteria or do they have carte blanche .

Thanks jeffforporn! :D As far as I know, no other game has a public bench/homeless girl scenario; and Rain isn't based on anyone (I actually adapted her from a Daz horror model!)

It's more a genre parody than about any specific game - a ribbing about all the sleep molestation you see in the referenced titles. They're usually your sisters... and there's an odd lack of moral questioning/ethical crisis about what you do (usually, you just have breakfast with them the next morning like nothing happened!). So I took it to the logical conclusion - if you'd do that, surely you'd also molest a drunk homeless girl (the ultimate victim) in a park; repeatedly sedate her with magical powers; and probably get her pregnant!

(Lol - in case anyone thinks I'm being judgey, I also did it cause I thought it was hot :LOL:)

Lol - yes, it's going to be a massive amount of work :)LOL: hundreds of missions!) But it'll also be very cool! The ending of Phase 2 will almost certainly be a version of the Star Wars medal sequence, where you're inducted into your new Branch... but worry not! After that comes Phase 3! :love:

FliteCorps is the top Branch (under the assumption that there are only 8 branches ;)) so it will require a lot of stat points - but I imagine training with Cis and Felix should make that an enjoyable experience.
What are u talking about, there's only 7 branches, no one said nothin about 8, its only S - E - V - E - N :v akakakaak

My (entirely uninformed) impression is that it's intended to play to the guest devs' strengths. If you bring in a dev who's known for developing e.g. gay bottom content, it'd make sense that that's what they'll focus on, and if that's not to the player's taste they can go play one of the other missions. But in that case for there to be real variety in the options, it would require getting a lot of guest creators on board. I'm not at all sure how that'll play out in the long term.

(As you may be aware, the dev doesn't come here anymore after falling out with the mods, so critical discussion here should not be confused with harassment.)

"A lot" doesn't need to be that many, how many kink cards are there? maybe a Dozen? get a Guest Dev per kink card and bingo you got a line up.
Though that doesn't address my curiosity of whether they had carte blanche to do what they like (within reason), submitting a chunk of story that is their solo creation or whether Ranli is going over everything with them making sure everything fits with his plan. (Director/Co-writer style).
