Well yes, but he's also a nice guy. You have to go out of your way to make MC an asshole. Otherwise this entire game can be summed up with the trope "Single Woman Seeks Good Man".

Since the "pre-tech"/rework update started, NLT media developer put out 2 fully fledged out massive games and are on their way to finish the 3rd one :

• Lust Epidemic
• Treasure of Nadia
• The Genesis Order (92% complete)

It's really crazy to think about it and compare it to other developers.

I'll be real with you, while Lust Epidemic was kinda fun, I thought Treasure of Nadia was meh. Sure, animation quality went up, and there's more chicks too, but it also suffers the same issue as any game with a huge harem. Dunno about the third one since I wanted to wait until it's complete.

Also RPGmaker is a case of you like it or you hate it. No in-between lol.

the third one in a nutshell is "orgies the game", that one is more straigh forward and the plot is alright

I hate being Summertime Saga fan (see you in 2030 boys).

Lets be real, few got the work ethic and efficiency of NLT.

Oof. I already found the final scene in Treasure of Nadia too much.

What happened to this game?

What happened to this game?

dead.
murdered.

probably some of you already know, but while we wait for the update to drop, it is worth to check out @_dildorog on twitter. He/she makes some high quality fan animations, the best I've seen so far. Seriously just give a try.

 

[pussyreaperxxx]

this game still in development? hahahahahahahahaha yes, YES ..... keep milking the shit out of those pateons as long as they keep paying for nothing somethings never changes

I mean, he is #1, so must be doing something right. Makes me wonder how many of those "Kickstarter game dev scams people out of millions" were just people blindly funding games like this.
The difference is you don't need to deliver a product on Patreon unless you promise it, you can keep posting and there is nothing someone can legally do about it.

lust was aight, treasure had good gameplay and the scenes were decent but the story was whack, and what i played of genesis was decent, but i'm waiting for it to finish since it's so close, then i'm gonna start over.

NLT is a veteran in the 3d modeling/animation field, let's talk about 2D, boobs games does hand drawn art and manages to update his game every month, he's a solo dev who has not missed an update this past year(I've only tracked one year), the consistency and overall work ethic of the rest is unbelievable fucking wild life and subverse are updated better than this and they're the games that are worth waiting for months, I popped in over a year later to see some updates, all I see is people who got scammed supporting/defending the ea equivalent of porn devs.

The Subverse thread can be about as bad as this one lol. Clearly not everyone over there shares the sentiment that the content is worth waiting for.

[sargom]

This dev shot himself in the foot so much, how is he ever going to release an update that warrants a development time this long? Unless he brings out the best update that has ever graced a game everyone's just gonna call him a huge scammer (justifiably).

 

[FlamesOfVengeance]

I still can't believe Christina Hendricks made it into the game in the form of "Tina Hendicks"... Christina Hendricks is honestly one of the hottest women I know and I never expected her to be popular enough to be noticed that much, let alone be added to an erotic game. I wonder if the team plans to put in even more celebrities than we already have so far. Really craving that tech-update right now, man... Haven't played since 2019 so there's plenty of new stuff I wanna see.

He doesn't care. That's the issue.

The thing to really wait for is if he will go ahead and release the Rhonda update with the tech update, because i believe the art assets are done?

So then it should be a matter of adding the code for the update, and what better way to proof of concept that the tech update was worth it but to release the next content update with it.

Because if, after all this time, they pull a 'oh man, that would take too long to add an actual content update, despite the art assets being ready', and the tech update ends up being the existing game's content with wider screens and nothing more?

Oh man, get the popcorn, because this thread will explode!

Don't plan on it. Even if all the art assets might be done. Even if the script might be written. There is still the coding and the posing involved (which are the two areas which still have the most work to do on the tech update). That would add more time onto the tech update release, furthering the delay even longer. No one should expect anything except the tech update... and the subsequent bugfix releases... before they see any content update for Rhonda, Annie, and Judith.

 

[Ayam85]

I believe another tech update in late spring or early summer of 2024. Rhonda and Cassie content might not come out until 2025 and beyond. Principal and her underground cult, Judith and her bullies may not going to be implemented to game at this rate.

Oh, I fully expect it to have no new content.

And that's my point. For the longest time before the tech update began, the bottle neck was always the hand drawn art.

Now, the art has been (mostly?) completed, and the code / posing is going to be the bottle neck.

(I'm not sure why they cant figure out the rigging system for posing first, allowing the art assets to be worked on fully while the rest of the code is worked on, but that sounds like a project management failure)

But, unless my understanding is off, the entire point of the tech update was:

1) add wide screen
2) make the code more robust for adding new content.

#1 has largely been done, the assets ready to go, unless i'm mistaken?

#2... well, again, you can say it's 'done', but until you add new content, you really can't prove it was actually successful.

If they release the tech update with just wide screen, and it takes *another* 6 months to finally release Rhonda, then the tech update did nothing.

I hope I'm wrong. I hope it takes no more than a month and updates start flying out and they can prove the naysayers wrong.

But given it's taken them years on a Ren'py game, i'm not optimistic.

Well, it was more than simply minimizing the update into 2 points... but here were the original goals: #67,771. That all said - since that time and all that time means that there has been a lot more to the tech update (either in work or in scope) that originally expected.

It will take much more than a month and updates will never be "flying out" for this product. Best you can hope is 3 months (2-5 months - about like it was before the tech update) on average after, whenever it is, the tech update is released and the bugfixes for it follow, before any content update.
