If the dev could improve the pacing by spreading events across several days it would feel better and more immersive. Upon replaying the game now I see my biggest issue with the setting... All is supposed to happen in a single day. All those trips with Miller, all the activities, and all one-on-one situations. A single day jam-packed with so much stuff and as soon as the trip starts every girl wants the MC for whatever reason. It would feel more natural if it at least happened in the span of a week. I do understand that because of the long dev time if it would go any slower then most players would hop off, but I am sure there is a way to make it go smoother in pacing unless the dev plans to develop this game for the next 10-15 years.

Yeah the game needs some time skips to be more believable. We don't need to see every moment of the day.

Well, you can already tell Sophie you want both of them so I think a throuple it's pretty likely. And you know, Bree already said they'd share

Post playthrough stream of consciousness..
A good update, with some caveats. The production value is still top tier, there is no denying that. Renders look great, the dialogue between characters flows well, and the lewds are well, appropriately lewd. This is definitely more lewd than sex kind of update (especially main girls). A game for a man with refined tastes and not just any coomer. I would consider it a project designed more for Sophisticated Sam than Jackoff Jim.
The ratio of renders to lines of dialogue seems a tad excessive. At times I felt like I was spamming the space key for just a slight change in the visual and no dialgoue. Is that truly worth the dev workload? I can't quite explain it, but I didn't like having to hit space key to pseudo-animate my way through a bj scene. I guess I could just leave it on auto. The number of renders could probably be cut down and little would be lost imo and might speed up production time. Speaking of production time, do I think the end result was worth the duration? Meh. I think if the majority of the episode were not spent in strip club I would say yes, but since it was, then no.
One of the aspects i highly praised about SH in early days was the fact that it had a small cast and narrow focus in a limited geographical area. A milf teacher and a nice handful ( ) of hot students at a remote location with occasional trips to local village to see side characters. Perfect. Now I feel slightly bamboozled with the introduction of these strip club characters and this expanding criminal underground plotline. Don't get me wrong, the strip club girls are hot, but I just hope the cast of characters doesn't spin wildly out of control. The more girls you include in a game, the less quality time you get with each of them (my old pie analogy) and some of them you may go an episode or two without any decent 1v1 time.
Upon first visit to thread, I was led to believe no harem and that I should focus on individual girls. If so, then why am I dragged off to a drunken night at strip club? It is fine for the manwhore playthrough where I don't care if some of the girls get mad at me, but I was on a dedicated Bree run and then Ms.Milkers Hill run, so I didn't think I should be forced to sneak off and betray their trust. And another thing, it seems so many of the interactions are forced. If you don't want to give me a harem, then the ability to opt out of certain interactions would be appreciated. I wish I knew which choices are going to fuck things up for me with my LI 4 episodes down the road thus forcing me to restart (my ultimate annoyance in AVNs)
Overall probably 7.5/10 for me. Happy that next episode is not intended to take as long as this one.

I agree with you. When this came out I was like cool, we're at house, we have our main LI and that's it. No fake prolong of game to squeeze patrons. Now, I'm not so sure.Post playthrough stream of consciousness..

After reading the entire update 0.5, I feel empty, not for anything negative, but quite the opposite, I rarely spent more than an hour reading VN on this website (usually because the scripts are poor, and the level of detail is almost zero), this is definitely one of my favorite VNs, everything is great, especially in this update where I finally see what the purpose or vision of the writers (No character is perfect, not everything that glitters is gold, etc.)
What makes me feel empty is that after enjoying this update for more than an hour, I realize that I have to wait another 10 months to see another new update, The visual quality of this VN is honestly on another level, the writing and script is quite good, the characters feel alive, but an update every 10 months is too much, even at this level of quality, they should and I know it is easy to just write, try to give at least 2 updates per year, that is an update every 6 months, if you have to sacrifice level of quality, detail or technical quality, in favor of narrative progress, should be taken into consideration.
I would really like to see more progress in the story, in the characters, to see this VN grow more, anyway, great work, I hope you guys continue with the project, greetings

Can I ask how you know 7.4.4 is the version most devs use? I'm not familiar with Ren'py development so I wouldn't know any better. The official list of updates shows that 7.4.4 is pretty outdated at this point so I'm really not sure why it would continue to be used.

in the game folder check for script_version.txt file.
it is generated automatically, and it shows renpy version used
(unless devs wanna to hide/mask it for whatever the reason could be).
and dont be fooled by "outdated" versions, particularly in renpy.
7.x.x. versions are more than fine, and if something works fine, why would anyone (serious enough)wanna to change/update/mess it? or are you one of those who think win 10, win 11...are superior to win 7, or even xp, for example?

The devs said they would be going back to a faster dev cycle, so less time between updates but less content to go with each update.

and that's great, the right balance you seem to be aiming for will be in the next updates when the sexual development with the main girls continues

You have to use the drill 50 times
The devs already said that they are going back to shorter and faster releases like the first ones, they even mentioned it again recently on Discord

I had my fun making remix with the drill that i not even perceive it was 50 times
What's the dev cycle on this game? It's different from the cest games I play. It's a new and fresh experience. Rare these days.
I'm sorry. I don't really know how to navigate this website.

Ch. 2 and Ch. 3 took around 2 months each
People complained it were to small and because of that, Ch. 4 took 5 months and Ch. 5 (this new update) took 11 months
Now devs say updates will come back be shorter but more frequent, so let's wait and see.
