It is irrelevant. Right now, you can interact with everyone in the guilds; however, the story does not go far enough for you to really do anything with them and there will be no more updates for this version. The game is being totally revamped and these elements will, if they even exist, be very different.
For those who don't know, I subbed and played the test version last month, the story is being rewritten as a battle between angels and demons. You can pick which side you want to be on. It has a very different feel from the fantasy theme this game had moved into. There wasn't really enough content to say how things worked out. There is still a "magical" element to it, but it's not the same. The girls' looks are decent and from the post I saw, the tweaks he has made since then make them look even better (or at least more in line with what I like.) Personally, I prefer them as they are in the game as it is now, but the new models might grow on me and once (if) it's released. Regardless, new players won't know any difference.

Latest news from Patreon.
Happy Valentine's Day everyone! I hope it was fantastic for you all!
In celebration of the special day, here's a render of Celeste! I also have some news about the playtest~
First, apologies for the radio silence the past week!
I've been super hard at work getting the playtest up and ready, and again neglected to really keep you all on Patreon up to date, instead just communicating on Discord. I promise to work on this, it's honestly a hard habit to break, just messaging on Discord.
Apologies being said, the playtest is close, the last two things I need to do are finish the sprite system (some characters are getting different sprites to reflect small outfit/body changes) and I'm working on a rainy day system, where as some days it may rain, meaning girls will cancel outdoor activities to unlock new indoor ones.
Thanks all for reading, and again, hope you all had a great Valentines day!

Hey, Glacerose! I'm super interested in the game, but curious about the hair. Are the girls still hairy like Serra, etc. If you're taking opinions, I'd very much appreciate if you kept whatever hair you've already added or even add more. I find games that go the extra mile for realism, i.e. body hair, acne, stretch marks, to be far more enjoyable to play. That added realism just does something for me that the other 99% of games that lack those attributes don't. Keep up the great work! It's greatly appreciated! Can't wait to start playing!
Add: Can't wait to see Alex, Lillian and Serra's bushes! Just heard about that from a much earlier post. P.S. Is the game link for the previous versions? I downloaded and started playing, but the characters look entirely different from the posted redesigns

Narrator: this would not be the last time Sylphine was "remade"

well there's no need.
also the version you're playing has been scrapped. you should probably read through the comments of the last few pages.
Honestly, I just hope Glacerose is okay and that he can get this done. I've been playing through the og download on here and it's pretty great. I'm super stoked to see the new models, storyline and sex scenes he includes. Don't give up, bro! You've got this!

Hello all.
Im being tested for thyroid/adrenal gland cancer and having genetic work done to determine if I have a medical disorder. Then I need to meet with an endocrinologist to discuss my outlook going forward.
There will be a few days delay on any posts due to this. Im really sorry for the inconvenience.
Thank you.

okay, going to insert my thoughts.
Should be obvious that this project isn't going anywhere by now. If you still believe otherwise, I feel sorry for you.
I haven't experienced any of the previous versions, only this one: 0.024. Not just myself, but several people have expressed that they thought it was too ambitious: Ambitious renders, big story, combat system, many side characters, big world... 2 worlds.
Sylphia seems to have started around 2018, so it has been 4 years for this project. One of the biggest excuses AUDIENCE members give devs is that it takes time to make a game. What is it that takes so much time, really. You need to code all the mechanics and systems. Once it's established, content isn't actually that hard to put into it. In this build, how many working systems are actually present? Basic early game travel and scenes are about it. There's also maybe 5% of the overall planned content actually implemented. The combat system is basic and rudimentary. In such an ambitious game, this portion is completely lacking. It can't even match the system already present in Knightly Passions. It feels like the beat-them-up "demo" that Yandev put out for YanSim, unrealistic and rough. If the foundation wasn't worked on, and there's no actual story or content, then what was actually worked on? character models?
If we assume that this game will actually complete. It would probably take another 10 years. Just think about the scope that the dev promised for the game and the % that has actually been delivered so far. You can continue to support if you want. I do not judge other people's income or what they want to spend it on. You should just at least be realistic with what your returns are. And I don't care about personal issues. Personal excuses DON'T MATTER in business. You deliver or you don't. If progress is delayed, you still have to make progress. Anyone can make an excuse for why work is not completed. It doesn't change that no work was done. Most importantly, you have to realize that progress won't magically appear in the future because there "were issues now".
I don't think Slyph is a lost cause. The ambition was simply too big. NO ONE starts BIG. It's not possible. You don't have the resources to see it through. Looking at a fairly successful series like Chloe18; it only took about a year for the Chloe18 to complete. That was in 2018, and GDS has already released 4 other games. His games get bigger and bigger, and Fake Family is close to the scale of what Slyph hopes to accomplish.
I also don't think Glace should have started with a game. From what I see, he's very verbose, and the story is more suited to a light novel(with the occasional picture) than a visual game. (That's assuming that no plagarism was involved. If all the stories were just fished off the net, then that's too bad...) That'd be a more appropriate place to start, and could always build up from that and make a game in the future. I don't believe he's capable of making a game with a combat system at this point, and trying to make a full scale game is what we have right now.

I'm not certain that the dev will ever complete the game, but I'm also not certain they won't. I've enjoyed what I've played, and as long as it seems like they're working on it, I'll follow their work, and I'll keep trying what they put out. I'm not likely to support them any time soon, personally, but I also don't begrudge people who do. I think the quality of the work is excellent, and I'm willing to have a wait and see attitude toward what might happen in the future because of it.
I also don't blame anyone who wants to give up and move on. Given the track record it's understandable. Still, I'm gonna stick around until something makes it no longer worth the little bit of occasional attention the thread requires of me.

I hate hopping back into the discord but here. He didn't think to tell any of his patrons or anything. But yeah.
Like I thought, he was perfectly fine other than sleep apnea. Anyways, I'll see y'all in another month or two when his computer melts down and he loses all his progress because he doesn't back up anything or something idk.
