If you're going to spend the expenses on fully voicing the main story...
What's the point of cheaping out on the sex scenes, arguably the most important ones?

That's like making an expensive animated series and have final fight be a powerpoint slideshow.
The strawmanning is unreal right now...
The "most important ones" we haven't seen yet. That is the thing with work in progress...

I think the biggest offender is the duplicate scenes.
About 25% of the scenes in the game are the same.

You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.

And Ela's update "added 13 dupes from the 55 new scenes".
to be fair I’m sure there are plenty of folks that would love to see certain scenes with specific girls, so I don’t blame them for reusing parts. The actresses performances certainly help differentiate them.

I can agree here. I'd love to see Lily's recruite pose with Demi as well :sneaky:

Is there any content in this game like some of StudioFow's previous work? Or is it all vanilla?

there is monster on girl sex if that’s what you mean, but nothing in terms of dark rape-y tones like the Kunoichi films.
Ahh that's unfortunate. Always enjoyed the old stuff they put out like Kunoichi, shame they went the other direction with the game. Oh well to each thier own I suppose. Guess since they wanted it on steam they needed to go the more advertiser friendly route unfortunatly.

that was a reason, yes. If you’d like though, they did commission some doujinshi for the game as part of the kickstarter campaign. non-canon stories, a couple of which have the tone you’re looking for.

next time I want to check the thread I'll bring some popcorn. it's getting interesting

the doujinshi they released for subverse looked dark enough. but I guess they simply dropped things like those. to be fair, I highly doubt they go for heavier stuff in a game with such a premise.

If you a pirate you need to download the entire thing again.... but its free right?
Sure, but a lot of "free" stuff comes with a patch too. And a pirate always choose the easiest way (if there's any). But I forgot this is not a cracker type of forum. I owe ya me remorse, aye?

I'm of simple taste. I got it on steam, I do 2 clicks and it update when a update is there.. Also, it's not about this not being a "cracker type of forum". It's about how steam does updates. It's not always about just adding new files or replacing files, but about inject new code into already large files to save you from download them anew.

For the game, yeah, but I'm sure they're totally cool getting to back into the daaaarkness when they make films again. Now in shinier UE4 :p

Is there any patch only update for 0.1.3? Downloading another 30gb is not worth it, man :(
No, some games have patches that are easy to deploy such as VNs, but this one you'll have to download the whole thing again. If you are bandwidth-limited, I'd say just wait for the final version. Or if you are considering buying the game, read through reviews and think carefully about it before buying it so you don't end up feeling like you wasted your money later - I'd also recommend using GOG if you decide to buy it as they have (unless it's changed) a 30 day return policy regardless of play-time (and no DRM) which is significantly better than Steam's lousy return policy.

If they keep add 5-8gb to the game size for every update... Buying the game will seem like the better option unless you want to hold off until it's done and download the entire thing then.

That's why I literally said this in the post you quoted: " If you are bandwidth-limited, I'd say just wait for the final version. "

And that's ultimately what I'd recommend for bandwidth limited gamers as the better option, but GOG is the best course if they want to buy it so they can refund it within 30 days if desired. I have massive internet bandwidth so it's not a concern for me to re-download the game every time especially since I don't consider it worth any money at this point in time.

Maybe you should mention it's not actual gif loops as well.

What you expect means nothing, you are not the one that employ the people and pay the wages.
Technically I paid part of their wages since I bought the game on Steam thus making me a customer with expectations. Also, given the studio's history I think everyone expected more than animated gif loops. They used to make 40 minutes porn videos so animating stuff doesn't seem to be a problem for them.

Buying the game is not the same as buy stocks in a company. Buying the game doesn't give you any power over development either. If you believe that then you no better than the Chinese mob that is review bombing it atm.

You didn't pay notice to animations outside of Pandora then? Doesn't matter how you see it though, it's not gif loops, its real time in the unreal engine. Also if you expected every scene in pandora to be 40 minute videos you not really grounded in reality.

So as a consumer I don't have the right to criticize a product I bought and can see very clear ways to improve upon it? It's called consumer feedback and many companies consider it valuable, especially to projects that are still unfinished.

And I couldn't care less for the animations outside pandora. We both know the ONLY reason people buy this game and it's not for the lore or moving 3d models in the story mode.

I would be 100% overjoyed if it was just still images during story sequences and full on interactive videos in pandora. You can polish the game after finishing it, what matters now and what the game lacks imo is more mature content.

Also you seem very emotionally invested in this, are you an employee or have any stocks in the studio? Unironically asking.
