Status Update #53
Hello everyone!
A couple of weeks ago we started using the fade-in progression from the last stretch of 0.5 in the header. It's pretty vague, but it works. The progression % was always quite flawed on our end, and the next time we use numbers it'll be a total render count with a goal. This should be very easy to follow at least. But we'll see! We'll also talk about this more in the post-0.7 news.
On the development side of things, we've continued with editing, polishing, coding and some nice sound effects. Squishing, and that sort of thing. Some plaps. They're a bit weird to work with sometimes. If you know, you know.
We've also been trying to improve one particular scene, especially when it comes to certain effects. Right now it's not working the way we want it to. There are also some moments we'd like to enhance when it comes to water effects, or VFX to be precise. But this might be out of our depth for now.
We'll still have a couple of chances to work this out and hopefully get it all right, as the last scene would greatly benefit from nice water effects. It also carries over into 0.8.
A minor bug, which most likely wasn't noticed by 99.99% of the players, was also fixed. There's a certain moment with Mr. Miller before the club when he's waiting for you to get ready, and this moment is timed. Unfortunately the variables weren't working as intended, which has now been fixed. Another render pokethrough also got fixed.
And if you're wondering what render pokethroughs are, they are usually like this:

Can't see it? That's okay, we didn't either. Here, let's zoom in.

Literally unplayable.
These can slip into the released versions pretty easily, but luckily they're also very easy to fix. If you spot any, please report them. Sometimes they might already be fixed, but it doesn't hurt to be sure. Plus you'll help make the game better for everyone.
As far as other news go, Ms. Hill kept her lead in the poll and will be in the September special render!

Cheers,
Robison & Npx
The only reason they are mentioning this is so nobody can say that they don't work. Nobody cares about pokethrough renders when you have 99% Perfect renders in amazing quality. Just wasting time in my opinion

She could be a virgin yes... I haven't thought about her that way but hey, it could be possible.
She is mature and she knows what she wants in life. She could be a virgin who is waiting for the "one guy" of her life.
I think at the end she is not going to be a virgin but it could be paussible.
If I have to choose what girls are virgins I would say Bree at 100%. Then Sophie with a 40% hehehe
Finally im defeated, i was pretty sure for september now i dont have any expectation, these guys are on another level of comprehension but game is good so we endure

I mean, you might not be wrong, but their actual community are the ones financing the game right now, so if they don't stop doing that, there is no heat to be felt. This is a simple thing to understand. The best you can do is play something else and wait for the update, or simply forget the game altogether.
I'd love you to be right, but I'm afraid you're being too optimistic. They're still working on rendering static art and animations, and once that's nearly done, the infamous polishing phase will start - which on its own will take about a month.
In my view, the earliest possible date is mid-November. Hopefully, I'm wrong.

This is a simple deflection, they get free advertising from this forum which is far more valuable as our word of mouth get them the mouth breathers that financially fund them.

I think it's clear this is probably the last update, do you really expect to wait more than one year again to continue the story? It's not sustainable for a project, and you can see it with the poking thing, these guys spent most of their time looking at every pixel from every render to see if it has the least deviation from what they consider correct. They do not realize that most people will skip those renders without even looking for one second at the details. I'm not trying to be negative, i just want to be realistic cause they seem to ignore the relevance of it

Maybe that's why he wasn't speaking for the community, but stating a simple fact. Something that really should be easy to understand.

And you will be the first to play it.
(Sorry and not sorry.)
You can criticize them, of course, and I won't argue with your opinion, but if they started milking people, we would see a scenario similar to ICSTOR. I completely agree that it's taking too long. But they haven't lied outright yet anywhere. In Chapter 6, they even offered a refund. No milker would do that.
Maybe I'm defending the developers too much at this point? Also possible. Let me know what you think.

No, that's a level-headed attitude and what I'd call being fair. I know, a rare concept these days, especially around here.
Being over-dramatic gets a lot more attention and in some threads, more supporters, unfortunately.

i cant say its that blatant for me, i can hear some criticism but that one is too much, we have really a good game in fine, yes content dont match the wait we endure, but again there's lot of other to play and its free so i cant name that a scam

Being level headed is not caring when the update comes (if not paying for it). Seriously, lot of folks must live a very carefree life in their moms basement if when an update for an AVN of all things comes out is top of their pissed off priority list.

The irony here is that, you, in fact, were the one claiming to be the bastion of the community in your now deleted meltdown.
As for me, never claimed such a thing. Just pointed out that there's no heat to be felt, as you claimed, when the devs continue to be supported by the actual community that keeps the game alive. This is a simple fact, I'm not even denying your right to feel disappointed.
Not a deflection. You just want to manically assure yourself that you are more relevant than you actually are. Let's not kid ourselves, the majority here do not pay for the game, and devs won't support games like this for free. But the game keeps being supported, so, again, it's simple.
Anyway, plenty of good AVNs out there to play for free. Take break.

Call it what you want but I'd say they overestimated themselves when they said 0.7 would be "short, yet satisfying".
