If you are supporting, then you should know that I do plan to finish every single route I ever mentioned. Of course some will be fleshed less, if you met them at the end of your journey, but that is how the polls went and nothing can be done about it. Of course I would've been able to update the game much faster if the goal was met, but it never happened. So, the choice that I had is to either continue with the same pace of 4 scenes per month and it would take me decades to make what I initially planned or draw it to the conclusion faster than I wanted, but actually finish all routes in a year or two. I personally am satisfied with what is accomplished and what is still planned. Each route has its own ending + 3 different states of the capital, Orsel and secondary characters. This is easily over 20 endings for the final product.
Oh, I can see not starting full routes for late/side characters. I am even cool with the ending point, I was just worried about seeing the other chars main routes and some of the teased paths that are still understandably a ways off. I also spend a bit more time here than paetron, but I did notice for example the last poll for routes didn't include Dabna as a choice so had a little fear she would be relegated to side character status (I understand she has a lot more work to be done though given where her story left off). Apologies if my criticism came across as entitled sour grapes. TFOI is truly just one of those games as a player/supporter you just don't wanna see end, but I know all good things must even when goals are reached.

Yeah I even tried downloading this latest one, again it's still not a mac version, I have no issues with there not being one, it's just an annoying teaser to keep going oh yeah, that looks good and there's a mac version I'll download... oh, yep, that again. Don't really understand the difficulty of just removing the mac link it's misleading.
I'm with you there. If a dev doesn't want or have the ability to make a Mac build, fair enough. But the tease is far worse :cry:

Not sure why the Ren'Py links are marked as outdated, the game is still to my knowledge in version 0.50. And the Ren'Py build Mac build is an actual Mac version, so if you're ok with playing a possibly outdated version then there is an actual Mac version. I have downloaded it and it works.

Yes, not like the dev wrote an important note which is never posted here...
It is impossible to create a MAC version in Tyranobuilder without owning one. So MAC version is a simplified WIN version that can be easily played through WINE.
I always point that out.

Renpy version is not outdated, it has less content because I am currently remaking the game to it. Of course it will take some time to have all the content, but it also has more features, music and correction of grammar.

Dabna is not included because she never gets more than ~8 votes. I rather focus on popular routes now and leave the rest for later. Nothing is wrong with your criticism and it doesn't mean I won't return to Irnia to expand it one day. But right now I must admit my mistake of hoping that people will see potential and support it as much as needed to bring full vision to live. I clearly won't ever have enough of a budget to create something as big as I wanted. Stay tuned for the polls after main routes are done, where we will decide on what secondary route will be updated next.

I apologize for not doing my due diligence. I usually only get my updates from here on F95, so I rarely stray from its borders. It's a shame that this above information wasn't posted here, as I'm sure many people (myself included) don't automatically assume Mac = Wine. I was in no way trying to be offensive. I'm glad that you are remaking the game in Ren'Py, as I'm sure you will reach a wider audience for the game. Again, apologies if I sounded ignorant, it wasn't my intention to cause offense or be overly critical.

it froze on me twice, once after beatrice came in she said shit about hand of queen, i got the end of build 0.1 and then nothing, so i loaded, and again it froze on me on that lake scene with the orc. Is this the end or is it just buggy af? If its a bug, any workaround?

It is just an end of the route you have chosen. Either choose another route or download renpy version which excludes unhold routes.

I was surprised myself TFOI wasn't pulling 3k+ monthly given all the unique elements it brings together. I think people just might be overly spoiled expecting animation and 3dcg for their erotic adventures.

Well,guess feature creep or more appropriately route creep got the better of you Winter.I wouldn't worry though nor am I sad.I prefer shorter,tighter games.You have much more time and resources to flesh out less characters and their stories along with the main plot.My suggestion would be to have somewhere around 5-10 routes (small ones of course) with some minor alterations based on decisions throughout the game.Overall,in terms of hours of content,I'd say a 2-5 hour mark should be good for now.You can then gradually expand your scope with more content,including music,animations,va,routes etc.Oh,Ren'py should probably be the choice from now on for your games,since they appear to be VNs more than anything else.Tyrano can be a bit weird at times.

Best of luck to you and the rest of the devs.

I'm loving this game every time I restart it the mother,sister and aunt are my favorite by far, I can't for the life of me remember the guys name that gets with Sandy in the bar, and who you can imprison only to change him into a female later on, I'm hoping to see more content for that character in days to come, he is a unique and interesting one, especially when you turn him into a woman and decide to make her yours whether you do it with a love or mind break route or both, it will be interesting to see where it leads to

Anyone has the workaround for freezing in Miriam & Beatrice MB route in 0.50 ? Mine got frozen in the bedroom sequence after dining table scene with queen and rosalin. Am I doing something wrong somewhere ?

MB epilogue with Miriam and Beatrice is really good like all the rest of game but I must ask
Do you plan some scenes for queen or she is just a background and won't have any beside that in the very end of epilogue?
