I played this game in January and I love it. I know theres a new update out but I dont wanna play it. There are many new, unfinished games that have great reviews but Im not touching them till theyre finished. It sucks because once a new update comes out, I forget what happened upto that moment. And the feelings or the, u know, the train of thought/moment you had going ends when the game ends. After a few months, obviously its not there. So Im trying my best to wait longer till theres enough new content (I do this with tv shows too, end up binge watching all the shows after waiting months).
I love the story and everything so far. Im happy its not instant sex. I started playing these adult games past November (Im new to this). I have played Big Brother and I liked it because even though there was so much grind, you slowly increased in bases with the women. You had to work and invest time to get there, so the sex scenes were so much more special. I just hope the scenes are really good when they do come. Also, are they going to be animated? Now-a-days if a game doesnt have animated sex scenes, I sorta dont bother with it. Although this game is an exception, I would really hope you put a lot of effort into making smooth animations (not just 2 images stuck on repeat).
Also, I know this is a small insignificant thing, but please no holding sideways weapons. If you are going for a respected, well educated family, no funny business like that. Although it does show that she is young and hasnt learned proper technique perhaps?
I love this game, I hope you keep at it. Is there an ETA on how long this game will take to finish? An year from now? I didnt know these art/still images took so long to make.
Edit: ohoh dark patch? I have a feeling the crazy girl is gonna kill another clan member, which is gonna start a war and the only way to stop it is, as an apology, is the put a bullet in her head in front of the other clan. You will be tasked to do that. It will be your final task before being promoted to the high level.
I forget what happened up to that moment.
Sadly, that is how it is playing a work in progress game.
As this is not episodic but rather getting access to a game being made. These are some of the drawbacks.

Depends on who the person is. High ups (such as Cordia, Antonio, etc) will not but people such as Luna who is a bit more *free spirited* will not care how she will hold it. Granted she cares about efficiency.

No Eta's as I do not know how long it will take to finish. This is not a project started by a big studio with publishers waiting. But rather one guy who decided to do this as a hobby and making enough to change to full time.
I didn't know these art/still images took so long to make.
At the start of the adult marked it was different. A lot of it was done fast (able to make update per month).
Make a porn script in 2-6 days. Use ready-made poses and simple light sources and press render. This can take from a couple minutes to a couple of hours.
But as time passes the players demanded quality in all expect of the games.
So, ironically enough, due to the players themselves wishing for quality the time per update increases.
A render needs to be *made* first. This depends on the scene of course. So everything between 1 hour to 1 day (rarely it takes a full day but some rare scenes do take a lot of time to set up and can even exceed 1 day).
When you have made the scene you press the render. Which can take 1-2 hours on average. The high scene stuff can take more.
Now imagine doing 100's of different renders per update.
The script takes alone around 2 weeks (can even add 1-2 weeks if it very heavy on the story) as people now want a good quality script such as story, character development, etc.
Renders now need to be quality renders. Proper lighting, composition, and quality so no grains. This adds a lot to the time too.
Then to add- music, coding, animations (a 3-sec loop can take 10's of hours to render), PS after work and so on.
The demand for quality has increased the time it takes for updates to be done. Like you yourself said, "
if a game doesn't have animated sex scenes, I sorta don't bother with it."
This is just one part of the quality increases people demand. Animation, better quality, top script, Unique music, etc.
