Yeah, it's a drama no doubt but I was talking dark in the porn sense of the word. Porn vn players would expect slave collars and buttplugs at the end of a Dark route, not to end in jail getting buttfucked by other inmates.
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.

The Naughty Captain, you missed some "taboo" dialogue in your new toggle. For example:
off "It's a bit like if the only thing that mattered for her was my sister's happiness."
is viewable with or without the new "feature".

This isn't the only one... just an FYI. You have dialogue switching bugs.
Jack has been addressing Eve as his sister since forever, on both the patched and the unpatched version of the game.

Yo, The Naughty Captain, check this minor bit (I've had it changed for a while but noticed you still have it as Sis double-speaking:
Python:
                scene ep4_sc2_sr_04
                sis "I hoped you would tell me this morning, but you didn't."
                mc "I'm sorry."
                mc "I should have."
                mc "I didn't know how to say it."
                mc "I was afraid."
                sis "Afraid I would kill you?"
                mc "Afraid I would lose you." #SanchoMod corrected, was "sis"

I haven't played your game in a long time but If you haven't purged all the sex scenes that were in game during one of your remake sessions, yes, your game is a porn game because it has explicit porn scenes.
You show dick in pussy, that's porn by definition.

Since this used to be one of my favourite games I'll vent a bit.

There hasn't been a good update since episode 5. Everything since then has taken very long time, for very little worthwile content. Which is very sad. It feels like the dev knew this was a popular game and wanted to prolong it's life as much as possible and bogs down in story-heavy paths that consumes a lot of time with very little payoff. A lot of teases and promises, but ultimately very little payoff. All while focusing on reworking the whole thing instead of just wrapping it up. Which also feels weird, rather than finishing this game up satisfactory and move on to the next project and starting with better quality renders in that instead, he strings every pledger along to fund the rework of this one game at the cost of the very same games development.

It's really a shame, he used to be quick and produce some of the best scenes I've ever read, so was really hoping he'd have great success... But it really just feels like an unbearable slog to go through everything post episode 5 while he focuses on reworking. It's maybe similar to Walking Dead season 1 up untill he releases episode 5, and then everything from episode 6 is just like Walking Dead season 2. Time consuming.

As many people have pointed out, it's a risk with having many paths that the time it takes to develop increases exponentially. But I really don't think that's ever been the core issue, but rather the reworking effort.

To be fair, the rough situation with patreon all-around probably didn't make it easier either.
Really hope he can find back to his old style and deliver a nice finish to all the remaining paths and then move on to a new project... because the quality is really there in his work imo, it's just been held back by the rework effort for a very long while.
And since we know he's produced very high quality content earlier I think we'd all be happy if he can find his way to finish this one up and work on a new project rather than being a one-off developer. I'm emotionally invested in his work since he's still made some of the best scenes I've ever played. It's easy to just pile on with all negativity, but hopefully this might be somewhat constructive at least.

Hopefully my words are motivational rather than taken too harshly, the reason I write is obviously since I'm invested in his work due to the quality it used to have. I really wish the dev success and it would be a loss to all of us if he doesn't find his way back to that level of releases he used to have.

If you say so.
" Pornography (colloquially known as porn or porno) has been defined as material "such as a picture, video, or text" that is intended for . "
According to wikipedia.
My game contains explicit scenes, that is true. My intent is not to arouse you, that is for sure.
So if you are playing my game, hoping to be aroused, you will be disappointed.
Is it better ?

I'm not sure why I'm even answering. I have no doubt that discussion is pointless.

I disagree. I don't think there is a set definition, but for me a porn game is one where fucking is the main focus and people would play it for a quick fap and nothing else. Not a fan of those. Then there are those where the focus is story/character development etc. These may or may not contain adult scenes. But I don't call them porn games.

It's not language barrier... it's your shitty attitude. WTF is your issue anyway? Others opinions and/or facts bother you so much you feel the need to attempt at berating them? That's no language barrier bud. Everyone sees through you.
I have seen it many times how hanging out on Patreon Discords turns some people into raving koolaid-drinking cultists, it's a weird and almost scary phenomenon.

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!

[/CYTAT]
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. ;)
