Wait hold on, that was fucking with my head a little bit and I had to go back and count to make sure I wasn't getting it wrong. I seriously wish there date stamps or something with the changelogs.Not saying you are wrong (I hope), but the devs don't exactly have a long track record of regular timely releases either. Release times never get quicker with time, only slower. Already inching toward the one year release cycle, this soon in development, when the story is barely getting started, does not bode well for the game ever being finished.
The fact that the first few releases were on a reasonable schedule, show they have the capability, so what changed to go from cycle of little over 2 months, to 6 months plus? We are getting into (Radiant, cough, cough) territory.
Not saying it is happening here, but it looks like the typical pattern we've all seen , where a dev gets a little bit of success (Primal Instinct, Dr. Amana, Reincarnotica, Apartment 69, Apartment 96, Oath of Loyalty, Connected), where things just get slower and slower, until nothing.
Dragging things out for 6 months or longer does not help them ultimately. To get buzz, attention, and patrons, shorter updates every 2 - 3 months, is much more likely to keep up the momentum and lead to a successful game.
Will you log on to steam in the future?
Is this game released on Steam too?
Hewwo, Dev.
Please, tell me you plan on putting the game on Steam? this is a lovely gem that must be shown/seen to/by plenty of eyes.
I also join the question of all of them, Northpx, may I ask if you maybe do have any thoughts, or plans, on also publish the game on Steam sometime in the future, when it will be completed?This is the kinda game i hope one day releases on steam. It's a really good game.
Also Eve best girl
The game's called "Summer heat" for a reason.thank you for the update. I get the impression they are nowhere close to being done with Chapter 5 so it might get late May or so before we can see a continuation of the story and more of best girls Mia and Sophie.
Maybe you are right, and we are all just jaded by the many, many, devs that pull the same M.O. of great initial releases leading to quick success, and then quickly moving to endless excuses and stalling tactics before the game eventually fades away. I completely agree with all your examples of worse dev failures. Freshwomen is a good parallel to what seems like it is starting to happen here, but to be fair that game had quite a few, lengthy and steady releases before it all fell apart. Once they started talking about changing the rendering engine to Blender from Daz , despite first rate renders already, which totally changed the characters' appearance and looked terrible, I knew it was over. I'm just waiting for the inevitable abandoned tag....
All I'm saying is that we all might be jumping the gun here and that also we really need dates stamped into change logs or something.
I agree about CoBD & Summer's Gone. I don't really care about Red Lucy's girls but I can understand, I'm not really into MILFs myself.And Mia too. Let's keep the peace
Plus Victoria from CoBD, all the ladies from Red Lucy and some of the ladies from Summer's Gone.
I see a real man of culture here !Agreed with Vic and the girls from Summer's Gone, I haven't tried Red Lucy though, is it good?
I'll also add Jaye from CS, Rebecca from AOA (RIP), and Els and Ines from The Unbroken.
Red Lucy is one of the most peculiar incest games on this site. The premise is quite unique (there are some mysteries in that family that are being unveiled), although the pace is a bit weird (if you play, you will understand) and the updates on the short side.Agreed with Vic and the girls from Summer's Gone, I haven't tried Red Lucy though, is it good?

Actually, my favourite females in Red Lucy are the two younger ones. I'm not much of a milfman myself, but in any case you have to concede that the two in RL look very realistic and sexy.I agree about CoBD & Summer's Gone.

Recently I played Westview Academy and there was some cute girls too.

Hmm, you made some good points I need to think about. It does kind of feel like they're already at the "make or break" point even though it hasn't been that long both in-game and development-wise.Maybe you are right, and we are all just jaded by the many, many, devs that pull the same M.O. of great initial releases leading to quick success, and then quickly moving to endless excuses and stalling tactics before the game eventually fades away. I completely agree with all your examples of worse dev failures.

It's true that is hasn't been 6 months yet, but I don't get the sense from the devs status updates that a release is imminent. I like pretty teaser images as much as the next guy, but it is really more of a stalling tactic to try to appease the waiting fans, than a sign of significant game development.
Plus, if you look at the latest dev update, it looks to me like it is going down the wrong track. Considering we are still on day 1 of the game after more than a year of development, and approaching what should be to the devs, an embarrassing 6 months since the last update, the devs should be laser focused on working on the story, dialog, and renders. Instead, they are talking about adding sound effects and music, which 90% of the players don't care about. Plus, in their "Development" part of the update, the work they chose to highlight is that they have been working on, "Proper file structure, making back-ups and tidying up some of the back end". Umm. Yea. So a year in development and they haven't been making backups, or have a well defined file structure? Let's just say my BS stalling meter is moving toward the red zone.
We all know the signs of successful game development. Regular, steady, updates. Period. With the story progressing at a reasonable rate based on development time. No adding new features after a year of development. No wasting time on more than rudimentary sound effects, or a free backing audio, and certainly not talking about fixing file structures or making backups.
Ultimately, no matter what anybody things about what may or may not be going on with the dev team, the issue is that we are still on day 1 in the game after more than a year of development. How many days is this camp? It's got to be at least a week right? With 5 LIs and a few side characters, unless all the LIs are crazed nymphomaniacs, I can't imagine the MC getting very far with all of them in a handful of days. Plus, as players, don't we want to see some sort of progression and emotional investment in the characters and the relationships between them and the MC? This takes multiple weeks of game time or longer to seem organic and satisfying as a player. At this rate, with 1 year development time or more per game day, how many years of development are we talking about? And development always only gets slower as devs get complacent, team members drop out due to various reasons, devs have a change in life circumstances of some kind, or someone decides to go back and rework something, leading to even more delays.
I think Summer Heat is great, and one of the best new starts I can remember in awhile, but unless there is a revolution in effort by the dev team, which I certainly hope for, it's doesn't look like we will see the end of the game in the next decade, if ever.
Cool thanks, I'm not that much into incest games but I'm gonna try it.Red Lucy is one of the most peculiar incest games on this site. The premise is quite unique (there are some mysteries in that family that are being unveiled), although the pace is a bit weird (if you play, you will understand) and the updates on the short side.
There are 2 hot milfs (aunt and neighbour) and 2 hot young ladies (the sister and a model working for the aunt). Even if you don't care for any of them (honestly, that's quite improbable since they are all absolutely gorgeous), the artistic quality of the game is overwhelming. The dev has a photography background and it shows; I even believe he mentioned he came from a family of photographers, but I may be wrong and he may be the only one. You should try it, believe me, even if just for the art and detail in those renders.
Likewise!I see a real man of culture here !
You could try "Dreamland".Agreed, Sophie and Bree are imo two of the most gorgeous girls I've ever seen in any VN.
But In "Dreamland", the girls have emotionless faces, like very beautiful mannequins. Bree and Sophie are much more expressive, diverse and natural when it comes to looks and emotions.You could try "Dreamland".
Exactly. For me, that's a very very important aspect.But In "Dreamland", the girls have emotionless faces, like very beautiful mannequins. Bree and Sophie are much more expressive, diverse and natural when it comes to looks and emotions.
Chasing Sunsets isn't good enough to even make your honorable mentions list?Exactly. For me, that's a very very important aspect.
In my opinion, the best face expressions in this industry can be found in Summer Heat, CoBD, Ocean's games, Red Lucy and AOA Academy (R.I.P.).
Honorable mentions: any of the games in my rotating signature (though not at the same level as the 5 mentioned above).
An otherwise monumental game like BaDIK is lacking in that department, in my opinion.
I... I... have never... played it...Chasing Sunsets isn't good enough to even make your honorable mentions list?![]()
I don't play NTR games either, or futa games.
