If I wanted to wait multiple years for a proper sex scene, I'd just build a time machine and re-live high school.I'd be surprised if there's sex scenes with any MG for another 3 or 4 chapters at least.

Be patient, your wish will come true. Some game's development takes longer than other games. For example, some games have more supportive patrons than others, and a stronger team of artists and coders. The more support a game musters, the higher chances the update will be released. Some games can take 1-2 years to finalize, whereas some other games can take just months. All depends on the game's patron support and the development team of the game.If I wanted to wait multiple years for a proper sex scene, I'd just build a time machine and re-live high school.
there is no summer update, yet there are some really sweet summer children aroundBe patient, your wish will come true. Some game's development takes longer than other games.

Hello, everyone!
Status update #41 coming up! This week we've been hitting the remaining content hard. Mainly renders, but also a couple of animations. Not much remains when looking at the screenplay, and the biggest task soon is rendering everything out. Including, of course, all the animations. Last weekend we did some playtesting and made some editing decisions. We decided to cut a couple of planned animations as they were not necessary. This saves us some rendering time, which will be reallocated to other, more important animations. The kind people play for.
Looking back on the chapter and its content, it's one big ass update... It will effectively double the size of the game in one release. Speaking of chapters, future updates will no longer be called "chapters". There are many reasons for this and they are all over the place, but you can expect the updates to be called 0.6, 0.7, 0.8 etc. in the future instead. For the time being, we will still be referring to CH05 as CH05 instead of 0.5.
We also did quite a bit of editing and scripting this week, including some Ember and phone content for future cha... updates. Additionally, we are toying with the idea of an Android version. There are some issues regarding Android which is why we haven't released one so far (mainly relating to the in-game phone), but if we could solve those issues it would be a great thing to offer to people without computers. This is not a promise nor a very high priority, but the thought is there.
What else...? Coding, SFX, and plenty of morphs were created as well. We also did a round of fixing on some finished renders and some post-processing.
All in all, it was a good week.
Cheers!

Why? We have no idea how many renders are in the queue. Could be the next 2 weeks for all we know. Whatever it is, I am excited.expecting the game release by sept/oct end then
Considering it took as much time from the first release to the last update as it has for this next update (until now), that's probably to be expected.Looking back on the chapter and its content, it's one big ass update... It will effectively double the size of the game in one release.
Hmmm...This seems to indicate that future updates will be shorter than the previous ones, possibly due to this one getting quite (a bit too?) large?Speaking of chapters, future updates will no longer be called "chapters".

Same but when updates start pushing past 6 months, the momentum of the game diminishes. Unless, it's a massive annual update like Being A Dik does but this update only covers a short period of time so there won't be much progress.Hmmm...This seems to indicate that future updates will be shorter than the previous ones, possibly due to this one getting quite (a bit too?) large?
Mixed feelings about this, as I prefer quality over quantity,
For sure. From what I've seen, it's not usually the slow burns that make the characters and romantic aspect of it seem better. What 100% works is when a dev does a good job at building up tension, mutual interest, and clear motive. It can still take a few updates but overall takes relatively less time than a typical "slow burn" and can only be done if the writing is good. It escalates things to get "hotter and hotter" while maintaining the player's interest instead of "nothing happens, nothing happens, CLIMAX!, boom we're done".I agree with you but normally what slow burn means is that nothing will happen for far too long and then, suddenly, sex followed by the story just kind of ending. It also makes the progression commonly predictable, so for the veteran VN player more tedious.

I fully endorse the decision to shift from the so-called chapters to v.0.X. It will be more faithful to the game's characteristics.(...)
TBH, those messages are something I would remove from the game since they don't really serve any purpose. I would also remove any reference to "chapter" and would stick to calling the updates v.0.4, 0.5 or whatever the number.

Idk about the future but usually after updates that take so long, when the dev says he's gonna try to speed things up next, what you get is less content and almost the same development time.With the update changes.. does that mean the updates will be shorter again? Instead of doing chapters, just cutting episodes into parts?
Only time will tell. I give the benefit of the doubt that we will return to the 3-4 month release window, but with less "consistent" updates or maybe more "certain path only" updatesWith the update changes.. does that mean the updates will be shorter again? Instead of doing chapters, just cutting episodes into parts?
If they created enough content then I would hope they'd go back to shorter updates or certain path only. They'll probably take a break after this update because 3000+ renders is a lot. I'm cool with 1000 or less.Only time will tell. I give the benefit of the doubt that we will return to the 3-4 month release window, but with less "consistent" updates or maybe more "certain path only" updates
It's understandable though, everyone needs a break. I just hope they will go back back to shorter updates. It keeps the fans happy and they will gain new fans faster.Idk about the future but usually after updates that take so long, when the dev says he's gonna try to speed things up next, what you get is less content and almost the same development time.
I hope I'm wrong but I have seen this pattern before.
