Hi everyone,

A short update from my side, as I see a lot of questions come in. Launching or updating is always a bit tricky, as you have no idea what the general reception will be, and everybody has so many questions and opinions. Know that creating a game like this is an iterative process, and feedback is what I need to make the game better. Generally, I think the reception has been quite positive (despite the lack of content). I am very happy with that. Some clarifications:
  • There have been a lot of questions about the tags, specifically the "Harem" tag. People have pointed out my previous comments, and they are mostly still accurate as my general vision hasn't changed a lot (if I do end up contradicting myself, my more recent comments take precedence, obviously). Without getting too much into the endings, they are linked to a love interest, but do not necessarily mean you "end up" with them. The endings are very ambiguous, and are not necessarily good or bad. One of these endings could be described as Harem(?), although I'm not sure if it exactly fits the term. You'll see it when it releases, though the actual finishing of the project will take some time, ofcourse.
  • On the tags generally, if you think a tag is misleading or is not justified, please let me know and I will consider removing them.
  • I will be renaming the versions from next update, as some of you have correctly pointed out that a v.0.1.0 or something along those lines is more appropriate as there is not a lot of content yet. I mostly just wanted to release something to get it out there. I will be releasing 2 different types of releases.
    • Major updates with lots of new content, worth revisiting the game for.
    • Minor updates with minimal new content and patches, not worth revisiting the game for.
  • Feedback on playability like the removal of one-choice pop-up is excellent, and I will be including that in new updates.
  • I am really trying to have proper and professional project management on this. On my patreon, I will update the developments monthly and share a roadmap. However, this still is a side-project for me (as a 1 person team), so I cannot guarantee I will always be quick in any updates. I do however want to be completely transparant on what is happening and what is not happening.
  • This project was previously marked as abandoned, but as I am actively working on it again and now have released an overhauled version of the game, it is very much ongoing at this point.
Cheers,

Duckytoast
for the harem that it seems you mean im guessing its more of a throuple situation so my question is in that route can any lesbian/bisexual/girl on girl sexual interaction be avoided if they will be included at all. Same with the prostitution tag is that in reference to a LI and if so is that avoidable?

Also saw talk of a rape in previous comments but was confused about the detail i know you said it wouldn't be shown but my question is is it to a LI and is it avoidable for me whether shown or not doesn't change it being cannon in the story where if i couldn't prevent it would be a deal breaker for me.

review of v0.1.0

Nice change in setting for an AVN. Short release

  • the story emerging is interesting given the small community we will soon meet
    • the use of real images with rendered model overlayed works given how good quality they look
    • also look unique from other models i've seen
  • some attractive women
  • animation was smooth and looped well
    • could use more sfx during
  • only one H scene in beginning with prostitute but it should potential for better scenes with other women

I like how it is going. I love countryside mountains and seeing life exist there. The story is engaging and grounded with the chance to interact with some attractive characters

So I would adjust the color of the menu with the settings again ... grayscale is ok but on my display I can't see what I have set for skip because the border is as gray as the rest ... otherwise ... so the only thing that bothers me about the game ... I would have liked to put the owl off the road and on the edge ... otherwise quite a nice game so far ... so I like it quite a bit

Quick typo comment,

thats called a "challenge coin", not challenger.

Also, from the sound of it it looks like you should add "religion" to the future tags.

I think Ren'Py will let you make it for a mac too. Why did you just make it for windows? And if not maybe a HTML Interactive video that way it will play on anything. You Dev's need to wake-up.

Close ;)
It's gonna take a while for sure (developing this by myself on the side takes time), but I actually have a proper development plan this time around and hardware to support it.

So no more 0.1s, like for the past several years?

Goddamnit, if you're going to put an old lady in the game then LET US FUCK HER! I knew this was going to be another lame ass game that pushes the younger chicks on you when it was Maria who comes to your room after the ugly old guy who gives you the herbs and not Ruth. Deleted.

I just found the game the other day and have only played it once, but are there any lewd scenes at the cult's location at all? (So not counting the prostitute at the start.) This is like the very start of the game, kind of jumping the gun to table flip already.

The game came out in 2021, it doesn't deserve the benefit out the doubt when development moves this slow. Every hentai game I play, I'll play up until a certain point and if I don't see something interesting, or I spot a red flag, I extract all the assets to see if there WILL be something worthwhile eventually. And this has nothing, nor a sign of anything to come with the old lady, which makes it worthless to me. Can't stand developers who dangle mature women in your face but then all the sex scenes are with girls who are the MC's age or younger.

I mean, sure, feel free to overreact all you want. I don't have the waiting time frame that you do, but in this that might be a good 2nd opinion for you. The game isn't long enough to be making assumptions about who are LIs yet, unless its been declared already. That was a serious question I asked about whether or not there was a lewd scene at the cabin. The only choices I remember making were about whether or not to accept the strange unknown plant from creepy cult dude. None of the women were "dangled in front of me" only to be denied later, because later hasn't happened yet.

If there's one thing I learned, it's to pretty much ignore the opinions of anyone calling the women in a hentai game Love Interests. That's shill speak and cringe. Also, you clearly don't know what I mean by "dangled in front of you." Have fun waiting a few more years for the next update while praising the chef for the crumbs they left on the floor.

Here I thought it was a common term. You are correct, I clearly don't know what you mean in anything you've said really, I don't know what its like to be so emotionally invested in something you clearly hate.

You're the one who sounds emotionally invested when you use the phrase love interests to describe fap material. I on the other hand, am admittedly judgmental. Because I've played enough of these games to know when they're either garbage or have a developer who's full of shit. Don't misconstrue hate from disappointment.
