Holy shiiit! Damn, people LOVE spending money on questionable things! Truly, "Suckers aren't mammoths, they won't go extinct." To spend so much many on this slop! You could spend these money on drugs and hookers and get WAY more "action" and consistent experience. ~4 years ago I would've been happy for the devs, but now it looks like stockgholm sindrome at this point. They still expect "the STARS" from this game, even AFTER all of 'this'.So they were making $40k/month on patreon, jesus
edit: reread that statement, more than $40k/month, my bad

Oooo~, it stings that much? Struck a chord? Meh.View attachment 3968976
This info was thoughtlessly thrown in, and it has already been clarified that the developers' post was talking about subscribers. The tiers and types of subscribers on different platforms vary greatly, as do the numbers of paid and free subscribers. I think they were earning much less.
But an envious poor guy saw a number and started yelling about it. People support them and enjoy the content, and for years they’ve been receiving both content and praise; otherwise, this project wouldn’t have made it into the top 15-20 on Patreon.
Go ahead, cry some more, rant about the 'stupid mammoths', how dumb people are (while you are certainly smarter than everyone else and above it all), and count other people's imaginary money, my amusing friend. Just make sure to add more drama, I love reading such messages
Oh, we're trying to shift the blame now about who’s upset and whining about other people's imaginary money. That’s almost cute. Give me more tears.Oooo~, it stings that much? Struck a chord? Meh.
No. I'm just appaled a little by the number shown and that people still cling to this project, but eh! Who cares in the end. I'm just a tourist now and I stopped giving my money to Uber WAY, way-way-way-way-way long ago. It's just funny that things still the same araund here with just a few variations here and there. I'm glad that I stopped being involved with this circus of a project. And like, to some liiiiittle extend I was kinda sad about dropping it. Eh, who cares.
Welcome to F95, I see you are new here. I suggest reading my signature below to help you navigate the site to get the answers to your questions quicker and more reliably accurate.do u need to intall seasons 1 to 4 and 5 or does the 5 contain all seasons ? bcs its big file
thank u sir for clarifying this have a good dayWelcome to F95, I see you are new here. I suggest reading my signature below to help you navigate the site to get the answers to your questions quicker and more reliably accurate.
As for your current question, It has been answered a few dozen times in the past 6 months in this thread - the latest only about 2 pages back. You could have had your answer in less than 2-3 minutes of simple skimming.
The files are labeled:
v0.89.8 (Seasons 1-4)
v1.07.3 (Season 5)
If you were to go buy a DVD labeled as "Season 5" of your favorite TV series would you expect it to include Seasons 1-4, as well?
As for do you "need to" --- if you want to play all the content, you will want to download both files. However, none of the decisions made in v0.89.8 (Seasons 1-4) effect v1.07.3 (Season 5). You could play v1.07.3 (Season 5) as a standalone - you'd have some confusion, most likely, but playing it without playing the earlier content does not change anything.
Ask in Recommendations & Identification.guys am intrested in similair games to this, where can i find such?
One thing for certain, that was not written by Uberpie, that's for sure. Lostraven or whomever the other writer is did so. The reason why I say this is that it is of a different tone than anything Uberpie's put out on his own, previously, as well as the well-written structure of the English language (Uberpie's is less formal).NEW POST
Hi everyone!
First of all, I want to say that development is going well, and we’re doing everything we can to release the game as soon as possible.
Now, let’s talk about a question that comes up frequently. We often get feedback that our development process is too closed off. People don’t know what stage we’re at, when the release will be, or what’s going on in general. Yes, I’m aware of this problem, which has been around for years. People want to see progress and know the timelines, which is completely understandable.
We face a difficult choice between two options:
The first option (which we usually choose) is to avoid giving direct answers to avoid lying and setting dates we can't be sure of.
Second option is to estimate the workload, provide rough completion percentages, and give tentative timelines. The problem is that even these estimates are often inaccurate. As you probably know, this is the toughest question for all developers, especially indie developers. Any team member can inadvertently affect the development schedule, and things can change unexpectedly. Even when developers provide progress bars, they rarely reflect the true status of development because of the inherent unpredictability of the project.
Why am I telling you all this? To explain why we can’t give a clear and specific answer about when the release will be. We don’t know ourselves. But I can promise you that we’ve been working hard since last fall, especially after being banned on Patreon. We have no reason to delay, especially now when every day counts for the Steam release.
At this point, all CG art is finished. Spine (character work) has been completely redone and is 95% complete (and this is much more work than CG, as we have 44 characters in Spine, each with 6-15 skins and 30-50 animations. And yes, they multiply each other). The programmer is finalizing the build and working on bug fixes, while the project manager is focusing on the project’s logic and the correct sequencing of main scenes, small talks, and technical scenes. We are also still looking for a good video maker for the trailer (unfortunately, our first candidate disappeared, which sometimes happens in our industry). Both writers have nearly completed their work, and we are starting to provide them new material.
Thank you for taking the time to read this. I understand that being more open is important, but please believe me when I say that all these development progress bars and timelines are just estimates. It's impossible to predict exactly how much work will be needed as the process unfolds, so all we can do is keep pushing forward. We always strive to increase the efficiency of our work to release higher-quality updates more quickly. We've launched many significant updates in the past within our industry, and I sincerely hope we've earned some of your trust along the way.
As always,
Thank you all so much for your support,
Without you guys,
None of this would be possible,
Love,
-The Taffy Tales Team
My note: Very important announcement for those who asked about release dates or progress updates. Hopefully, this can ease many concerns for those who asked. This also helps Count Morado a lot when people asked about this problem lol. Uber also mentioned about two writers, does this mean that they're also doing the NTR side? Would make sense for both routes to be worked on in this redux.

Not entirely, or not at all. He often ignores the opponent's arguments and inconvenient points, trying to end the conversation quickly, which is understandable and sometimes reasonable if there is no time or desire to continue. However, regarding non-toxic, regular questions about previous releases, he is the best specialist here, that's a fact.the title of "Conversation Conquerer" fits you perfectly lol
I don't want to argue with you again, but there's no choice. Rumors, speculation, and assumptions have started.One thing for certain, that was not written by Uberpie, that's for sure.

Before any netorare fans (or haters) get excited (or angered) -- At this time, I doubt that any of the the Netorare (NTR) route will be involved in this release. It would require new material written, artwork made, coding done - because it does not currently exist in whatever "Season 1" ends up being. Also, because no one on the development team has made any intimation about working on the Netorare (NTR) route for the past year.
Final interesting note is that the 25 July announcement stated they had "begun play-testing the new build" and now a month later it is revealed that is not the case - they are still working on content. This is not the first time there's been a premature announcement about play testing only for it to be revealed later that development was not that far along (see January through May of 2022 for v0.82.4/v0.85.1 as one example).
Thanks Vanheller.

Sometimes it's necessary to understand a little about the topic to make such definitive statements. Although, without this, there wouldn’t be as much hype and cringe, I guess. Hugs.
- What will you say if we ask both writers on Discord and it turns out that they (especially the first one, since he’s been around longer) actually helped write all the posts, or the opposite?
- Where did you get the idea that NTR will or won't happen? There’s nothing about that. That's a completely unfounded conclusion. Again, what will you say if it turns out not to be true?
- My favorite phrase, "begun play-testing the new build" – as a specialist (lol), do you know what the second and sometimes even the first most popular development method is? Here comes some shocking information (not really) – the Spiral Model. View attachment 3977941 You can look it up. In short, content, or anything for that matter, can be added to a project even at the play-testing stage. And that’s both correct and normal. Testing a new build happens at every spiral phase of development. Not to mention that the types of such developments form a gradient, with elements used everywhere to some extent.
