Does anyone know how long it normally takes ManlyMarco / STN to release a patch / repack after an update comes out? I keep checking hoping for good news and no luck so far :(

quick question folks! Planning to play this when an updated repack comes with the new DLC.. How is the gameplay actually? any good? or is it as boring as koikatsu?

Seems like STN is focusing on their project and some Patreon stuffs at the moment. Might be a while...

Koikatsu graphics, but the gameplay is just AA2; or far more of a sim than Koikatsu.

Fun is subjective, you can have fun with something others don't.
But I find it very boring.
Imagine sims 4 but extremely bad version of it - it almost feels like a parody.
Here's what I do:
1. Create a male character
2. Add him to the game
3. Create a female character
4. Add her to the game
5. Use any character I've created to spam "chat" with other
6. When other character finally accepts sex, start sex scene

I heard you can't move the camera in sex scenes, is that still the case?
?

Never heard of that, you can move the camera even in the base release version of the game. The actual locations are just a background picture though unlike other games, you're just moving the camera around the characters. Feels a bit awkward at first but you get used to it.

You don't need legit version, if you want to try the DLC.
You can use Repack/Modded version by deleting/renaming "hid.dll", it will disable mods and let you run the Game + DLC without issue.
BUT make sure you create backup of your game before doing it, because by installing the dlc, you're updating the game to the newer version which doesn't support mods
Oh that's a nice trick, thanks for sharing. Don't think I'll be doing that because I'd rather keep the mods, but if people just want to try the new characters, at least there's a way.

Heh, to be fair it almost feels like you're intentionally making it boring if you limit it to having one guy/girl and just getting to the H part. Might as well load Honey Come at this point. Most people here enjoy the interactions between the various NPCs and seeing how "relationships" evolve.

Then again I find regular Sims games extremely boring myself, so to each their own I guess.

I'm not trying to limit myself but I think I've already seen most if not every interactions because there is not much to do in the game. The options(what you can do) are very limited.

It's kind of complex actually, the same happened with AA2 back then, I used to play it a lot for some time, it was fun, yet as I stated before, as a game it is a pretty simple one, with no complex mechanics, no complex gameplay, lack of features, etc..
But it's still fun for some people like me, despite the extreme lack of content lol
But yes, the game does lack in terms of content, same as with AA2. If a small team like Paralive's takes 10 years to deliver such a game, then developing a game like AA2 can be done in about 6 months (what a coincidence, that's what took them, way less than a year), expanding it can be done easily, because of the lack in terms of complexity (not talking about modding, modding is already hard just because of how the solution was compiled basically.. talking about the actual game itself). They probably never added anything new due to their focus on cash and multiple releases per year (this is not a 500+ employees company asking multiple studios to release different Call of Duty versions per year, it's one small studio developing as much different products as possible in the shortest amount of time, with almost no improvements over previous releases, Fifa and Pes but with nsfw :ROFLMAO:).

The other day I tried it, and yes it's a pretty fun game to play, but again, lacks a lot and you can "see everything" in a couple of hours hm Let's see if they someday make a proper sequel to AA2 but with actual gameplay changes that are significant enough to justify releasing a new game after like 10 years, rather than "hey, here's your 10 year anniversary koikatsu skin for AA2".

The game needs to add in a phone with an app that shows actual stats/progression beyond what the shrine shows. Add a hypnotize app to let people force progression on other characters against their will. Give money for doing your job, and add in stuff that buffs your character that can be bought( hypnotize add ons that let you pick 3-ways of your choice, sleeping pills, aphrodisiacs, etc). Add at least one or two NPC's that work at a shop, and a love hotel concierge that can be unlocked. Add public masturbation(NPC's can do it but not the main character?). Slip in some of the funny stuff from games like NTR Legend. Re add in the massage stuff, maybe add a massage parlor you can work at and service customers for money. Lets be honest, there should be a hot springs/bath too. Needs peeping added in. There are not enough out of the way locations like the infirmary, or the top of the school building. Sleeping pills should let you drug someone in the private locations and have sex with the partner while they sleep( so the NPC's can't take anyone somewhere private from you).

I also feel like this game its just lacking in many aspects, yet I still play it from time to time with different settings and characters just to see what I can get, but just as you said... it does get pretty "stale" after a while due to the lack of content.

More lifelike simulation, more complex relations between characters, more varied events other that just "let's study" or the sunday BBQ. The stats in game which serve no functions, the blackmail mechanic which works in a pretty lackluster and inconsistent way. The really small map with almost nothing to see or do... long story short, this game could've been the remake/reboot/reskin, whatever you wanna call it, that we were waiting for since AA2 but it turned out to be just a better looking copy set on a different location with the same shortcomings as AA2 when it first came out. Also a lot less modable for the looks of it, hopefuly modders can work around ILLgames blockade in the future and give us some more complex mods that truly bring out a more enjoyable experience, something that we have yet to see when it comes to these types of games...

Sometimes I feel like I have more fun simply creating the characters that playing the actual game :geek:

Support them then ? It's already as a niche game as it is.
I already bought it from DMM as a pack, main game and personality add-on.
Complaining as you want, but if it was me, I wouldn't working for anyone for free either.
It's 2024 already.

It should be other way around
make a good product = earn money
not
make a crap/mediocre product = get money anyway because people think you'll do better in the future

Can you share the official girls cards from new DLC please?
I would recommend the ones from user 0maru0 though, he got all new 6 girls' personalities covered.
His art style also kinda in-line with official one, also, his design of their not-school-uniform clothes are quite neat too, especially for のんびり type. Me, personally, really into his creation of 無口 type.

If I find your game amazing, I will pay for it, if I like you as a person, I might also pay for what you do because I trust you before your products, if I don't see others doing what you do and I want more of what you do, I'll obviously try to pay you twice as much. Now, if you work in the NSFW industry, which is the one with the most revenue (by a big margin too), if you're also not developing stuff you like but stuff that pays well instead, and if you even get more than enough from Japan alone, enough to not even consider communicating with people outside that one country, then go ahead, I'm not paying for that, specially with such a price. Adding to that, they also lack the competition. Hell, they could put the game at sale for 90 USD, and no one would be able to demand lower prices at all since "there's no other game dev doing this, or have you seen any fanmade AA3 out there?"

In short, support those companies that deserve to be supported. A good choice would be to support the competition instead.. If there was any competition that is.. You know, just so the company can focus on making a good product, and not just another random sequel without real purpose ._.'

Honestly I would support, but will wait for an International version since I can't read anything in the JP version. Official mod support would also be sick but guessing Illgames is against it for some reason.

Fair enough, I bought AI Shoujo off JP site, and some months later, they release it on steam, I was like WTF XD
Language barrier is quite understandable. I'd also like them to release it on steam just like they did with Koikatsu and AI Shoujo with English interface. Since I'm neither native English speaker nor Japanese speaker, but still comfortable with either way.
