[c3p0]

Preview or custom render?

From what I know, preview.

If that's the content you guys are looking for... gosh! I'm taken aback lol why? Just telling your story could be the key if you want to build trust or ray out confidence. However, it's a toxic thread indeed! Not sure about who's trolling whom yet >.<

Because it's funny.
Hopes created Filius so he can poke a bit of fun at the trolls and his haters who have been making unreasonable demands and complaints (this doesn't count constructive criticism).
And inclusion of Filius was met mostly with a positive response, with majority of fanbase thinking it was fun how Hopes was poking fun at the trolls (only small subset didn't like it, and a lot of those people consisted of the trolls/haters who got incredibly salty after seeing the event).

And besides, it's not even the first time a dev poked fun at people having unreasonable complaints or saying absurd things. It even happened recently with Sunshine Love's latest update, with that Dev poking a little fun at people not knowing what "abandoned" means on f95.

While I understand the sentiment, that is a recipe for catastrophe. Imagine playing for a few hours and then a crash happening. Can you imagine the unstoppable herd of angry players coming down?

Specially in a game that is more than reading. In those in which you only read and pick choices, in the worse scenario you start over and control skip everything until you reach to where you were. In games with some gameplay involved, you need to re play that too, so it takes a lot of time.
Even more when you are already starting over.. imagine having to start over and over without being able to control skip.

Having waited so long, better to let tester do their job. I'd say.. something between a week and two?

I agree. Even if it takes a bit longer I'd much rather have a stable game without the bugs, than getting it earlier and find out there's a bug.

 

[JJJ84]

While I share your sentiment, priority should be given to MILF Cordia in my opinion now.

Agreed. In the end, it will all depend on Hopes, but if we don't go to Cordia's free-roam/lewd events next, I don't think I can help but feel disappointed or sad even.
Though I certainly wouldn't be leading a mob with pitchforks if anyone gets any ideas.

I don't think we'll go from a simple mother's kiss to something lewd xD

The MC, while not knowing what a mother's kiss is, still says the following at the end of Cordia's office event "Was that a mother's kiss? I wouldn't know, but it didn't feel like it." or something along those lines.

Plus, Wilfred himself has requested MC in the previous update to help Cordia to get over her "guilt."
So natural progression in terms of the story is to start with that storyline. Exploring another character's events again (any of Luna, Gracie, Isabel, whom all have had plenty of events already) I feel would be delaying Cordia's events for far too long (and there's already so much clamor for Cordia content since she doesn't have any yet).

Also let's not forget. Cordia is THE Lady. It's freeroam/lewd events yes, but I have a feeling (though I could be wrong) it's not gonna be as simple as other girls to get lewd scenes of her. But that's what's also very exciting about it.
The challenge MC has of being totally respectful to the Donna (female Don equivalent) while getting some lewd scenes with her, it's getting into an unchartered territory for both MC and us as the players.

So, I haven't played this yet, but I really want to. But I'm also unsure because I know the update coming soon will require a restart. In your guys' honest opinion, is this good enough/have enough replay value that it's worth playing before the update? Or would you say to just hold off entirely?

It's definitely good enough to replay.. However latest I've seen on hopes discord is that he has 2 new beta testers and I think the new release is so close I would just wait. Thinking it would be an even better experience then it already was.

 

[jaw1986baby]

sadboi242 Yeah if it is at Beta test it is close enough to wait. You could scroll through the thread and admire all the game related art. It could help you see some characters you will look forward to seeing.

 

[WhiteyG]

If we don't have some action with Gracie I will be quite disappointed and sad

While I share your sentiment, priority should be given to MILF Cordia in my opinion now.

I'm sorry but no no no. Not that I don't want to have some naughty time with both of them, but does anyone remember this?

I would say wait. I finished the update and gave it to the beta testers.
Even if there are bugs that need to be fixed etc it's only a couple of days away at worst case.

*Edit* Oh you guys are fast...

 

[protobutweird]

sometimes i just spend hours reading the threads completely forgetting i have an account i can post comments with as well. Can't wait for the update

Lmao didn't expect el jefe to respond himself. Thanks, I'll gladly wait it out.

Also screw all the people complaining about the update taking so long. In all the games I've played on here I've never understood that. It's the epitome of false entitlement, since every game on here is FREE, and devs only get paid by people nice enough to donate on patreon. And I'm sure at least 90% of the people complaining are not people who donate.

Wow that's some memory lapse almost 2 years without saying anything. Welcome and only a few days for an update so

 

[whichone]

Exciting times!! I'm really looking forward to this, anticipation is high, but I am happy to wait for it to make Hopes happy.

 

[HenzoStar]

I'm not sure if you're aware or not, but old saves won't work and you'll have to start all over from the beginning once the new update drops, so it may be wise just to hold off until then.

Thank you for the information, you saved a lot of my time since i would just replay the game with the new update. Also i've heard the new update is on a beta test right now and will be released pretty soon.

Not a problem man. Glad I could help out and save you the time.
Yeah I read about that a little bit ago myself. Thanks man.

Are you implying you only made that promise to get into her panties? My goddess, what a player!

I don't know. Out of the 4 girls, Luna is the one I less want to lewd. For me she is like a kitty I want to pet and play with, more than a tiger I want jumping on me!

I mean I definitely want to pet her as well but that is certainly going to be LEWD

So maybe I can pet kitty (LOL) tongue Gracie and THEN kiss Cordia
But hopefully back to back to back cuz I like to stare death in the face

Maybe we need a hopping around while biting nails emoji on these forums?

Not at all I did that because I gladly trade my life for a chance to kill people that evil. But a little love as a reward would be nice too. As far as Luna being a kitty I'd contradict you but,

Since whichone showed me this

You kind of already did that for me. That isn't a kitty I'd want to play with
That's my Lioness

 

[jish55]

Am I sad to have to restart the game? A little... Am I excited that I'll get to spend 12 hours playing this game again? Hell yes.

 

[RustyCooter]

Ohh damn. I'm as giddy as a japanese school girl right now. 2 of my favorite games are in beta testing. This game and intertwined.
