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...

That's a good point, actually. I think we can blame the lack of SFOW's experience in creating games. I don't try to excuse them, but it is their first game after all. From their point of view they were making a fully voiced game with two fight systems, a sex scenes constructor, and cinematic cutscenes here and there. Sounds pretty cool on paper, but in reality it is what it is.

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.
