0.5 was actually a really promising update, made it feel like maybe they could develop well given time. 0.6 was an absolute dud and they accomplished quite literally nothing as far as advancing LIs. They simply don't know how to proceed, or don't care to as long as they rake in that sub money.

What caught my attention was the slow pace at which the delivery percentage graph was moving, much slower than in previous months, and it didn't match the information provided. I've backed over 40 projects, and many were abandoned along the way, so I'm always cautious when something seems inconsistent. I can say that, over the past year, there's been something strange with visual novel developers. I'm not sure if most were working remotely and had to return to on-site work, but even developers who started in 2020 and now have better equipment are taking longer to complete their deliveries.
Just my opinion obviously but I’d say Mutt & Jeff are even better
Anyway, I’m just a pirate but yeah this update doesn’t have much for anyone not on the Mia path, unfortunately.
See ya next year, lads.
What a weak ass update. This is not a 10 month update this shoulda been like 4-5 tops.
I don’t think they’re lying about the size of the update or the effort but they are not focused with their creation. Most of these renders are inconsequential. And instead of focusing on the breakfast and making a toast animation, how about some focused and suggestive animations of Ms. Hill cooking the breakfast? There is enough work done here its just not at all in the right places, which hopefully is due to this being their first game but it also brings to question if this is intentional and they are setting up a milk machine. Really hope its not the latter.

For example, I know it can't be named anywhere, but Pink Cake is a single developer, Stone Fox Studios are two developers,
My humble advice is that they have to simplify the game more, cut the mundane dialogues as much as possible, and focus on the main plot so that it organically involves the MC, they have to change that policy of 10 months per update, with this latest content being so pyrrhic it's not worth it
Yea I've been noticing that too. Think it started creeping in around 2023. I can believe some devs having to go into the office now but it doesn't explain the ones who are doing this full-time. I can give some leeway to the part-time devs but I'll never believe any justification for full-time devs.
Whatever it is, it's definitely pretty disappointing that it's become a trend.

Of course, if I were Paynne I wouldn't pay any more, and now that he confirmed he won't do it anymore it makes me feel a lot of respect for him, I wish the rest of the subscribers would show their displeasure the way he does. I just wanted to know if he was as disappointed as you.

I just realized I've spent more time over the last 10 months reading progress updates on polishing and messages on this board asking "update wen" than I did actually playing this update
So I'm unwatching the thread and will come back in 2039 when it hits 1.0, assuming it escapes the 99% odds of being abandoned between now and then

and that she is great at observing peoples , she described them perfectly, although I think Sophie fans might not liked it what she had to say about her

Does Miller know that we are in a video game, with the MC as protagonist and others as NPCs?

This is how game developers lose the support of their audience and players in general.
