But will there be a special appearance by Summer Glau?

this creator seems to always express his creative struggles publicly. It's his way of making legitimate excuses for slow updates. It may also be his way to not lose faith in his own creative and technical abilities. Not sure if this is a good thing but this kind mentality does show itself in-game as well.

Naughty Captain is a perfectionist that wants to see his creative vision succeed. As someone with similar mentality, I empathize with feelings of frustrations when it might be necessary to compromise that vision to attain a better (or at least more practical) outcome.

Agreed. There's nothing wrong with reading something else while you wait. A watched pot never boils. I've said it before elsewhere... it's one thing to complain about a dev making a hodgepodge populist freakshow filled with tropes voted on by the community-by all means, complain about getting milked there... but when someone is creating their own vision and they're transparent about any struggles they're having and open to discussion about their delays, I'm much more likely to give a dev the benefit of the doubt... especially when I'm not really paying to read the majority of these things.
I know this is late. I was dragging my feet to play the latest update because... Well, I like knowing that there is story I haven't seen yet. Crazy, I know.
But dude... JAYE!!!!
God that was such a great moment!

Dev Update #194
Scene 24.
I spent most of the week writing it. I ended up merging my original plans for scenes 24 and 25 into a single scene and the whole thing is finally way smaller than my initial estimations (like two thousand words smaller).
I am satisfied with what I came up with but I'll probably have to rework some parts while cutting the scene for posing. I'm going for a more pronounced "show don't tell" stance. That means fewer descriptions, but that also means that the renders will have to perfectly transcribe the atmosphere of the scene without the direct support of the narration. What worries me is that I'll only know if it works as I hope it will when the scene will be playable, i.e. when I'll be done rendering and coding the whole thing. If I have to rework the scene at that point, it's going to be a pain.
Scene 24 is about 2.4k words. I'll probably need about 80 shots to illustrate it.
The quick sum up :

The old problem: most of the devs doing this in their free time as a hobby. Most of us can't do it faster. Some of us don't have a life or a job. They could do it.
Yeah. Also the game have so many different paths that changes quite abit of content. Which also makes it go slow. I do enjoy games with many different paths. But at the same time with how slow the updates comes from it. It makes me at the same time not like it as much hehe. Also I think it's good if naughty captain don't put in all his effort and time into it. It's a bigger chance to get burned out and lose the drive to keep on working on it. You need to have time for other things. Otherwise it will just wear down ones psyche.

I'll do you one better? - Who the hell is Update?
I managed to play all the routes and the sad one makes me feel I watched and unmade version of The Amazing Spider-man 3. And MC has a sort of Andrew Garfield tragic look. LOOOVE IT.

Dev Update #195
Scene 24.
I planned slightly more shots than usual. I'm going for 107 shots, instead of 80, which was my initial estimation. There will be a lot of "short-lived images" which I usually try to avoid. We'll see how it goes.
I'm currently posing scene 24. I'll have a few "difficult" poses to deal with, but essentially I shouldn't encounter any major difficulties. Two new sets will be introduced in this scene but I've already assembled them months ago. I had to spend some time selecting new clothes for some of the cast members, and it's always a challenge, as good and usable assets aren't that numerous, and I am apparently a fashion illiterate...
But it's done. The first 30 shots have been posed and most of those are already rendered.
If I was ambitious, I would say that I have good hopes to finish both the posing and the rendering by the end of next week maybe we could even have the scene fully coded and sent to my proofreaders by the end of the month.
Scene 25 should be pretty short and fast to both write and pose.
We are tangibly getting near to a release.

Just a couple of things I'd like to tell you, guys:
1. a reminder for everybody: the pictures the Author posts when he posts an update aren't preview pics - they always come from older updates;
2. most importantly, since some people still "like" my very old post where I shared my outdated old walkthrough, I'd recommend you guys to ignore my old walkthrough: it's outdated and it was made before the Author reworked the first chapter and a couple of paths, therefore some paths are wrong now.
You should use the in-game hint system the Author introduced in the last update and/or install Sancho's mod.

Was introduced to this game after seeing the Eve/Jack cameo in CS. After several different path PTs I found it to be an engaging game. It has a captivating story, the renders look great and have noticeably improved as the game has progressed (particularly loved how well the renders of Cassie portrayed her smiley, happy persona), and interesting LIs. Some music in the game would have been nice, though I understand the dev is trying to remedy this. One word of warning…it’s quite easy to get the early bad ending if you play without a WT, and that ending is very nasty and brutal, and one not easy to unsee.
The one issue I do have with the game, however, concerns the MC. It’s been quite a while since I’ve encountered an MC in an AVN who is such a heavily flawed figure with no admirable qualities. He is portrayed as weak, pathetic, stupid and lacking self-esteem, takes criticism lying down and counters any praise he receives. In his relentless, repetitive internal monologues throughout the game he chastises himself for his stupidity, his embarrassing, shameful and moronic behavior, his overreactions to the silliest of things…etc.. It’s really overwhelming after a while. Even the LI’s get in on the act, constantly berating him and calling him a moron, idiot, dumbass, dufus, dork, imbecile etc. Yet you’re expected to believe the LIs fall in love with him for the odd act of kindness that he shows them. It’s a pity, because this takes the gloss off what is otherwise a decent game imo. Hopefully the MC will have a “partial awakening” in the coming update, because Day 6 Parts 1 & 2 were particularly bad in this regard.
