Sorry, some key words didn't get translated there, and DeepL recognizes Bulgarian but can't make any sense of it, probably because parts are already translated. Maybe try again and/or add an original Bulgarian sentence?

Well, this definitely DIDN'T age well.
Last time I played - 4 years ago? - I thought it was just pointless crap. Now it looks like an outdated fossil.

Almost 6 years in the making...
I sure hope it picks up the pace somewhat. Loved it when i played way back.

He also moved into his own home with his fiance and has got an office room dedicated to the development of the game.
Which is a plus, cause previously when he was living with his family he had to alt tab to hide his work from the rest of his family.
His fiance knows pretty much what he does as an AVN dev, hence with them moving to their own home and him having his own space to work on the game, it will only come as a boon when he really kicks into gear the development of season 2 (no disturbances, and no pressure to be conscious of other people like he used to before).
It's just that the steam release coincided with a lot of IRL stuff that happened with him.
Also, I think I've been saying since late 2023 that Season 1 Soldato Edition on Steam will not be adding new story content, and will just be adding VN mode, Codex, & updated gallery; I knew about it in advance given I playtested the VN mode for Hopes.
Plus, even when the game came out on Steam in February, it was stated by SonsOfLiberty (one of the big compressors on this site) that there is no new main story content in the season 1's request thread.
So it's not like nobody knew about it and this all came out of the blue like a deception.
Basically it's been said for months (even before, leading up to Steam release) that content added to the Season 1 steam would be minimal.
So unless the said person has not been paying any attention at all to the news about this game (then I guess it sucks for that person, but I guess he/she should pay more attention next time to news regarding any game they're interested in? Shrugs), not sure what more can be said lol

I mean, a Steam release was bound to be necessary given Hopes was planning to make a living out of this as a full time dev (and nowadays, more and more AVN devs are opting to take their games to Steam).

Yeah, there is absolutely nothing wrong with the render quality of this VN. seems like some people have a innate need to complain and just jump on anything. I will never understand why someone comes to a forum just to complain about free stuff....
And as JJJ said, nothing about this release comes as a surprise, we knew exactly what it would contain since months back

A rhetorical is a question in form but not actually seeking an answer. Hence, it is a statement.

I do not understand. Why do you care so much about a game you really hate that you find its forum and spend time and energy to trash it? I on the otherhand found this thread because I love the game. Hate it? Go somewhere else!

"Graphic quality" is an often heard complaint in other (non adult) games as well, often for some technical aspects which don't even affect the feel, and apparently none of the professional critics noticed, so I am not too surprised to find it here, too.
That being said (a) the graphics are fine, and (b) at least to me the graphics are supporting the story, not the main aspect of it, so as long as they work and transport what should be transported, I couldn't care less (within limits of course. Doesn't need to be Oblivion level or suchlike).

Your guess is as good as mine. Mine is they want to stir it up, try to get respond and people losing their shit, possible cause they are butthurt, cause their favourite char didn't get an update, doesn't look like they wanted, can't be fucked or is fucked by another NPC, the updates are too few, too small, ...
But at the end of the day I couldn't care less why they try to stir it up, only that they try.
Yeah. I like how the so called supporter is acting like they had no idea what was coming. He's been keeping us thread regulars(us pirates) in the loop and we knew for months what to expect from the season 1 release. No way he wasn't telling his supporters. What a fine way to out yourself as a lying troll pretending to be a supporter to somehow add credence to one's trolling.
My roommate has walked in while I was playing the game and commented on how realistic the graphics look in some of these games I play(I have my computer hooked up to my television). So any complaints about the rendering are complete bullshit.

Well, to play devil's advocate - it depends on what you are used to. When I mentioned Oblivion earlier as a step down too far - back in the day, while not being the best looking game by a mile, it still was very presentable.
However, if you play more modern games like, say, Cyberpunk, Daz3D isn't that good anymore. However, in these games heads rarely change size and shape like they used to do in CP
Though I would want to challenge them when comparing Daz3D graphics from different years to put them in the correct order. I somehow doubt anybody really could ...
you are probably unaware then but this update came out in February it's just the steam update nothing new storywise unless you count codex / lore entries. But it's a good thing cause it means S2 is in full swing full time for Hope
This is one of the downsides to a very long dev cycle though.
A game can start of as class leading in various aspects; graphics, story, gameplay etc. But when it actually gets to a full release its peers have overtaken it in some or many aspects.
This game had outstanding renders at the start of its development and its something that even Summers gone will face if it continues its drawn out cycle.
Games with more stylized rather than cutting edge graphics are more immune to this.
