I don't even understand why I get this kind of answers, tbh.

Because you're speaking like the Dev owes you an update.
You aren't paying for the game and demanding for updates on a regular basis. Maybe try to understand him from his POV, or supporting him financially?
And yes, try to create a game and let us know how easy it is to produce monthly updates, we will be waiting.

Did I seem to be annoyed? I am new into the pornogames, have questions and the maybe absurd idea that people who knows better than me could solve those questions.

I don't even understand why I get this kind of answers, tbh.

Apologise annoyed was the wrong word. I get it. You're new. But you must understand there are many trolls, incels & basement dwellers that creep along these forums giving the creators shit for things they cant always control.

Just know that most good creators will update regularly & often but will have hiccups from time to time. Software failure, miscalculations & real life problems will rear there heads. Sometimes these things take time. I am sorry to have jumped on the defensive against you.

But when you say I dont understand how it lagged behind you do sound like so many on here who feel like they are owed something. You're not paying, it's free. In the future to avoid such things mabey starts with the fact you're new & ask if someone could explain such things in a more clear manner.

 

[Blueee.]

I haven't asked for it. I'm just curious about the fact that most of the creators are very irregular with their update timing. For me it doesn't make sense to delay an update in order to make it bigger and just want to know the dev's reasons to do it.

"Also, someone talked about the time that take "all the technical stuff of turning your in-engine stuff into a program". How much time is it? Is it more than the time it takes for you to take a shower and something to eat?"

And to answer you this question, you can try getting PlayHome Studio and render and position each character. It takes longer than taking a shower and something to eat, which I supposed an hour, to position and render. Take 1 render as 30mins, 800 renders takes roughly about 16.5days to render fully. Hope this answers your question.

Have I say it is an easy task? I asked for the dev's opinion about this because I assume the possibility that there could be reasons for him to make a bigger update that I ignore. I have no idea why you took my questions as an agression.

"To me it makes more sense to deliver updates in very regular timing no matter how much content you have ready. I'd like to know your opinion about this issue."

Because I have told you the reason why the update took longer than usual, apart from the 1-2month regular update. The dev is making a huge change in the game, additional areas + mainly focusing on the continuation of the game. I don't get why you can't read.

I understand those reasons, but people talked about this delay as it was something deliberated from the dev in order to get a bigger update than usual. I'm just curious about his reasons for it.

Right? This is a major overhaul that I feel is worth the wait.

No your new. and far more well more courteous and pleasant. You also seem to be unaware that you feed trolls.

I do not understand what u mean by "No you're new"? I was talking about how Hakhak said they are new to porngames. When I first started playing them I was in year 7 lol. I'll admit I am relatively new to the forums in the sense of active member but I have been on these & read before.
I do try to be as pleasant on here as I can. Dont want to devolve into flame wars over a game so I will take that as a compliment.

Didnt realise I was feeding the trolls tho... I will try to refrain from such in the future.

the post your replying to has been deleted as well as the one replying to this one. I can't really reply to this one properly but suffice it to say. You are a pleasant conversationalist. And have done nothing wrong. Best Wishes

So that is it, Altos is such a slacker.

Hey guys,
I've committed myself to a release date for the 7th November for the beta version. Here's a teaser poster I made. Couldn't post it publicly on Patreon because of their rules about nudity. Been working hard on this for months and got plenty to show for it. Over 1400 images made so far (although admittedly a lot of those are for the red butt overlay effect for all the new spanking animations), around 50,000 words or so of dialogue.

I have no doubt that some people will still tell me I haven't been working hard enough or they expect more but that's the way it goes I guess. View attachment 871768

I knew this was going to be an awesome update, and now it is more than confirmed. Liz Lovers Link! (was going to say unite, but that is not good alliteration).

I have to say, I am incredibly excited for this one.

Same. The stuff I've seen on the Discord is very encouraging.

 

[yuserneim]

Good to see everyone is (kinda) friendly, but can we talk about that v.0.9 poster?

like, Faye's butt seems really red in one of those scenes. That must've been a hell of a spanking.
...and who's purple hair girl?
and, and... why's Em in the HMs office?
and, and, and... how cute is Liz's butt?
and, and , and, and perhaps the most important question of them all... what flavor is the ice cream Em and Priti are sucking eating? I hate strawberries... DO NOT let me down, Em.

 

[Bearded_NoPants]

I see something like this and I get so excited.

Oh OH I CAN EXPLAIN! There is a new game mechanic. The more you spank during a punishment the redder it gets.
Emily in the office I'm not to sure. As for Liz... it's over 9000

Not fond of strawberry either, maybe it's ...'cherry'!

"Eat my cherry popsicle" has a better ring to it than "eat my strawberries popsicle" tbh.

Am I missing something? or forgetting something from the game?

I edited my response after you replied to it. Look it up.

Yandere-neim, Have you forgotten I just have two braincells? I'm sorry but I'm still lost... was that link in the game?

There's a joke where a programmer's boss asks him how many lines of code he thinks it will take to release the next version of a program, so he tells him. Then the boss asks how fast he types, so he tells him. The boss does the math and says, "So you should be done by Friday."

When you're just adding content, you have the problem of deciding what the content ought to be. When you make a change to the program, it's going to take a ton of time because -- besides all of the planning that you have to do before you can write a line of code -- things are guaranteed to break and need to be rewritten several times. Hofstadter's Law kicks in. You think it will take a week, so you tell your boss that it will take two weeks, and it ends up taking a month.

As soon as the dev says that the game is being redesigned or there's some kind of code change, stop expecting regular updates.

I already was aware of this. I understand that the amount of content cannot be regular since sometimes it takes longer because shit happens. The question is that I think it is better to keep frequency of updates regular making them smaller sometimes. I just wanted to know why AltosandHerdone think otherwise.

Many of us prefer to wait for the larger content, and don't really like to experience a section that cuts out in the middle. We want the devs to be satisfied with the update, make sure it is bug free (mostly), and feels complete.

You could have something that takes 2-3 months to do and gives you some satisfying play time, or you can get one that updates frequently with short and unsatisfying updates that are over before you have time to even remember what you did last time. There are, of course, exceptions to the rule, but not everyone can do that. We do not all have the same skills, equipment, free time, and help.

Personally, I don't want an update I can play in less than an hour. There are a lot of games that update every 3-6 months, and I am typically far more satisfied with the update. I can't say I have ever gotten one of those updates and thought, 'this is too short for the time it took', or 'I don't know why they even bothered to put this out'. Where as some I have seen were so short they did not seem worth the time. It takes longer to put aside time to play them, than the actual play time. Some people might like that, but I am not one of them (in part due to not having a lot of free time).
