Since v0.5, I've produced about 130 000 words of new content with about 3500 images.
This represent about 40% of the entire game.
In the meantime, I reworked about 18 000 words of content with about 480 images.
So I've produced way more new content than reworked old one. The new content is still my focus.

Of course, it's difficult to see that in the context of a branching story if you don't play every paths.




It's easy to be quick when you work 16 hours a day, seven days a week on your project. I did it and it brought me to thinking about suicide.
And rather than killing myself, I've decided to go back to a more bearable 8 hours of work per day, seven days a week. On top of a day job.
Honestly, I rather stay alive.




No it's not. I simply burned out. And I'm still burning.



No worries.
The truth is no one can really know what I'm going through. I don't talk about it openly. Therefore you can only try to guess what is going on.
And by the way, I've received nothing but praise from the people who play the game for what it is. Especially for the ending of the Psychotic Knight path.
If you play it for the porn, obviously, you will be disappointed. If you play it only for one path, you will be disappointed. I always knew it would be like that. There is nothing I can do about it and I'm not going to change my game in order to please anyone.
I see.

Well as I wrote, you've done some of the best content I've played through earlier, but I personally don't like anything from episode 6 onwards, and I have played through every path.
I do wish you success, but not at the cost of your health. Hope you find a balance where you won't feel burnt out.

If I would give one advice it would be that with just some more... payoff for your fans (without damaging the integrity of the product you're making), you would probably gain more followers, meaning more money, which could maybe tilt the scales on your support to not need a full-time day job.

Good luck!

As you can see from my fan sig, this is one of my favorite games. I'm sticking with it and waiting for every update. IMO, however, the number of paths should be limited. I don't think anyone plays all the tracks. I play with three. However, it would be best to end the least popular ones. I also don't see any reason for you to improve something that has already been done. This limitation will significantly speed up the progress of the story. Forward, not across. Keep working calmly and we are waiting. Impatiently. ;)

I'm glad to see you back and updates here. This was one of the first games I got interested on here, way back when. Now I am making a couple myself.... go figure.

I also know what it's like to feel burnt out and to get screwed over by Patreon. Took me several months to shake that and get back in the saddle. And I am retired! I can't imagine trying to do this stuff if I was still working a regular job. I have to force myself to close DAZ and go eat dinner and maybe play some of my games or watch some vids before bed... otherwise I would be up till 2am every day and feeling like shit.

Do what you have too, to take care of yourself and the rest will work out.

Think I'll play this from the beginning again this weekend!

You do know you can edit your posts, right? Or did you break that key raging on your keyboard?

Anyhow, thanks for the laughs!

Summer Scent isn't a porn game. I thought it was obvious.
The actual sex is less than 10 % of the game at the moment.
If this is what interest you. You shouldn't waste your time with my game.
Come on Captain I know there is a lot of "hate" and frustation on the commentaries but I think for the amount of wait we expect some action. Your writting is one of the best I've seen (if not the best) on a adult game, just that scene of Cass finding out about Eve and MC is top adult drama, super realistic, however the writting is not enough to hold the "hype" after so much waiting between a update and another. If the updates were faster maybe, but thats not the case.

I think the best would be 50/50, serious writting and 50% of sex, it doesnt need to be "porn sex", you can write and pose a variation of mature scenes. 10% of sex scenes is not enough

Yes I know, maybe summer scent is not for me but I really thing that if you did it both your game and the next one would be on the top of this site and others. Especially because most games we play, we dont even read the dialogue, thats just how hollow it is, I repeat your writting is fantastic dont even think of changing that about you
