Played this a while back and like this visual novel so far. It's pretty much the only visual novel i know of with a space military sci-fi theme and with alien heroines. I prefer that it's story driven with the mostly linear plot it has going on. I also like that for once there's a dark-skin/black male protagonist, so some nice interracial action between male protagonist and the girls. Ashe is my favorite (red-skin & curvy body), closely followed by Nikka (cycles). Then, the rest Cea, Rin (the male on futanari stuffs), Kani, Nali (action with if you choose the side with Aloshan route only?), and Chole/Asa (nice scenes in Ep4 for both). A shame the protagonist didn't get to do the tournament in Ep5. In future episodes maybe have an actual harem route develop down the line (besides the pretend one in upcoming undercover hegemony route).

Looks like an update this month. With a good number of updates this year.
Shame about the number of patrons considering this is one of the few that's different. Probably become a patron this year when back in work. Looking at it, it would take 50 months at a dollar till i pay AAA money and can't complain about that.
Oh and fuck animations, don't see what the fuss is about. Diverts too many resources for so little return in my opinion.

Appreciate the kind words.
A bigger benefit to the same Patron goal as animation is that with the extra money I would be able to pay for more writing staff, which will help get things done faster and to a better quality. Animations are, the cherry on top to some people. That being said, animations are supposed to supplement a scene by pulling an emotion or an aspect of it to attention.
Something like Kani sitting in her VR suite recreation of Omri with rain hitting the window and having it animate falling down the glass has a different effect than just a static image of rain on the window. It throws more into focus her emotion, her time spent in contemplation. It lends it a different tone than me just saying "She's been here some time" in a scene descriptor. Same can be said for a post climax sex scene where the heavy breathing of a cum covered Chole has a different tone than a more static shot.
However, this is just my idea for what animation could bring to the game, it is still a subjective thing and I understand that.

I get that and while i don't know your situation outside of patreon, i feel resources would be better spent elsewhere based on income. Love the vison you have, but it feels better suited if you were making 2k+.

Just want to say how much I appreciate your hard work drmaddoc47. Your and Your colleagues are very talented and I really enjoy the story, as well as the unique renders. Thanks again for a really immersive story, looking forward to the next update.

Thank you very much, I'm glad you enjoy the game.
Episode 7 should be out shortly (honestly just waiting on Omar to finish his side of things before we do the Patreon Early Release and then the public release). I'm already working on episode 8 in the mean time.

@drmaddoc47 Any chance of save naming? I went back earlier and realised i have three playthroughs with the same info and a little idea what they were. It goes:
PC name
Episode 6
Inanna Shuttle bay
Departure
It would be helpful for me to have say PC Name - Specialisation - Romance - Route
e.g. PC - Tac - Kan - Heg then the other stuff.
Thanks and good fortune.

Putting in active romance would be very difficult as you can have multiple right now (as none of them stop you... yet). Specialization might be possible but it would not work retroactively. Same for Route, which is a great idea that hadn't crossed my mind but should have been included since Episode 5.
I'll see if I can go add those two in, but again, it would only work with new saves and who knows how it will work if the data isn't there for the screen to read, Renpy is weird sometimes. So I will definitely look into it, but I can't make any promises yet.

Well, I am excited, keep up the good work. Really intriqued with Tarik Rin, also Kani, adds some interesting variety to the story.
How long is the playtime in this one? I don't mind really much that there's not much sex (according to reviews). How close is this to be completed? I don't want to be stuck in a cliff-hunger for 3 months...

Honestly I couldn't tell you as I've seen people speed through Episode 7 in 10 minutes and some take about 45 minutes. Episode 8 is going to be a huge episode so it's going to be quite a while unfortunately.
At our next Patreon goal we're going to be bringing more writing staff on (which will take some pressure off of me doing everything aside from audio) but we're just not there yet so, things take time. Sorry for the wait.
Thank you for the quick reply. I have never played this game. What I meant was how large is the whole game, from the start to the end of current content. Is every episode 20-40 minutes (with the exception of the upcoming 8th large one?)
Would saying "gameplay of 3 to 5 hours" be a realistic estimate?
Are the episodes "self-contained" or they end in cliffhangers?

I have never played through it to time it, just because I am usually error checking. My wife played through it up through Episode 5 for the first time a month or so ago, and it took her a few hours. I think the episodes do go from 20 minutes up to 40ish. I'm curious to see what someone who is brand new to it thinks though, please let me know when you play it.
