I really enjoyed now and then in all aspects. Interim Domain is finally starting to get interesting for me after not liking the start at all. I have a few question regarding the LI's...

I really liked Now and Then but erm... i'm struggling with this one. For starters... it's kinda ugly, the color is muted and washed out, it's pretty bleak even if it is a kind of purgatory. The renders are also lower quality than i'd have expected after everything the dev should've learned after making a full game previously. Secondly... it's boring, at least to start with, does it get better? Does anything i'm struggling with improve later on by more than a little?
I've enjoyed TID.

There is some great story telling but it takes time for the world building to happen.

The setting is different than any other I have tried in an AVN and yes - it is depressing and the use of mostly darker colors is, IMO, done to help reinforce the idea that this is not the Spring of a world, but more of the depths of a winter that will not end.

I also view the render details as part of the style of this AVN (I see the renders complimenting the threadbare nature of this environment) so this works for me.

(FYI - the dev has mentioned working on a new AVN since TID will wrap up this year and I believe HS2 will be involved - we only have minimal details so far).

The MC interactions with the women and several of the Entende and Archons are the highlight of this story, and they are the 'bright' parts.

Once I got immersed in the setting and world, everything flowed well for me - I found myself enjoying the relationship building and the time spent with two of the Entende (Mira and Apollyon).

For me, I need to be able to have enough time to get immersed in this alternate reality so this is not an AVN I can enjoy in 30-minute increments.

It is also not lighthearted fare, so I don't take the time to play this when life is thumping me with a tough week, for example.

If you are in the right frame of mind and have the time to get immersed, I think this can be a very good story.

I know I have enjoyed it almost as much as N&T.

Cheers!! :coffee:

You should try to do them evenly. There May still be couple of continuity errors if you focus on one. The dev has said that this will be fixed (and some already have been) in the completed game.


Secondly... it's boring, at least to start with, does it get better? Does anything i'm struggling with improve later on by more than a little?
Completely agreed regarding the graphics. Best you can do is get used to them.

IMO the game gets way better when the main story progresses. Try to power through? Much of that N&T greatness is still there.

The speed of the dev’s releases is a thing of legend, but mayyyyybe they should invest a little more time on the lighting. N&T was acceptable, but this seriously looks unappealing in places.

Bingoogus I also wanted to add re:the main story. I was a bit understated in my description.

The main story is simply amazing this time. There is intriguing mystery, a threatening antagonist and great world-building. So it’s way beyond N&T in that aspect. N&T was great, but still a simple survival story with good events along the way.

However, I’m still somewhat dreading the next time I play this from the start :HideThePain:. Which is a shame.

Is Kaitlin's family name DeBeers a reference to Now and Then? I have this vague as fuck memory someone in that game had that as a last name...
I don't remember if that is a yes or no.

There are two women in the TID lingerie shop that are also in N&T (one is a zombie and the other already dead).

There are likely other crossovers - easter eggs for those who have a better memory than I or are going back through another N&T playthrough.

Cheers!! :coffee:

Warning, huge spoiler even if you played last update already, cause it's about event that still haven't released but dev already made alternative dialogues.

For May 2024's Public Wallpapers, we have ourselves an old-fashioned Wet T-shirt Contest. Staple of Spring Breaks during the 70's, 80s, and 90s. That and Girls Gone Wild really did give us some titillation during the pre-internet porn era.

The Interim Domain 0.26.0 Update #1
Patreon post image.jpg
Patreon post image-2.jpg

All right, we've got a lot to do over the next six months, so we should really get to it. As mentioned before, we've got 99% of the rest of the game mapped out, so we have a roadmap of what to do. Not to say that there aren't some extra scenes that we might slip in if we can find an afternoon to knock them out.

As expected, 0.26.0 will start the process of wrapping up the storylines of the main girls, starting with Kaitlin and Anya. If you finished Mina's and Saaya's tales, I think you know what to expect in your goodbyes.

Concerning the main story, we are very much sprinting towards the end. But reaching the final stage doesn't mean it's all over. You will get time to wrap up your work before it's all over.

Thanks for your patronage,
- Kinderfeld

Just popping in to give you some info and a few shots from the current build. Some
notes:
• We have a mostly functioning update currently in the works. There was a minor issue with the android build that we're working out and a last minute code item that we noticed and are working to fix.
• 0.26.0 will be the last traditional build for TID. Since we've plotted out the remaining builds and balanced for workload, the remaining releases will have a mixture of endings and some "doubling up" of stories, especially with Sammy and Natalie once the other girls reach their ends. And the final story number for all main girls is 25. Side girls will be 11 (except Mina who was technically a tutorial story with some side content that didn't count towards her story total).
• We will discuss endings, endgame content and the implementation of that in an update for 0.27.0. Work has already started on a fair bit of this, including love scenes with many of the cast. Much like N&T, there are "ending" variants of all the cast.

This update's combination scene is between our lovely Entedes, Mira and Apollyon (aka Polly). With the knowledge that their time with Michael coming to a close, they plan for one last getaway. Unlike most of the other events, this isn't about going out and partying. To unlock this event, you need to have seen all of Apollyon's content and chosen Mira during Allison Story 14.

Also tucked away in this build: There is also a deeply hidden Other People Scene between Tina and Kaitlin that comes up if you have bi-content on and have seen their threesome with Michael. This means that you might not want to rush to finish Kaitlin's story when you get this update. Or not until you've hit one of the two OP windows.

Thanks for your patronage and interest,

I found this game a couple weeks back. After playing N&T and liking it, i decided to try this game since it was from the same dev and just reached end of content.

I liked it and many of the girl's stories were nice. It definitely gets better over time. I saw many people complain about the graphics, but i don't mind. They are indeed less appealing, but it's because it's how Honey Select looks. I played many Honey Select games and you get used to it over time, so it doesn't bother me much.

A thing i didn't like is the fact that every update has more stories than you are allowed to play per update because of the 7 per "day" and it did annoy me as i feel i was missing content for every chapter i went through. I know in the end, as you "finish" girls you will be able to conclude the ones that are lagging behind, but for now, it's meh for me. As i've said, i'm waiting for 0.26, but how many already produce story segments are still there but that i can't play? And don't tell me use the cheat mod, it's not how the game was made.

Another thing i started to dislike over time is that i'd say around ch15? i noticed that every single story with every single girl went from progressing their stories to just finding ways to make sex scenes. I swear the last 10 story segments i did with all the girls was them trying to fuck. Combined with all the seemingly mandatory threesome scenes that started to appear all the time. I see now that 25 will be the goodbye point for all the girls, but if we were to remove all the wasted extra sex inserts just to have sex scenes, i'm sure 15 would be all that was needed.

Was doing the girls in order, 1 story each then going back to the first. I've also figured out quickly that it seems likt the last line of girls are the "side" girls that are shorter and basically here to give you QI, si when they popped, i cleared them right away. After Sammy i think, i had most of the girls so i focused on the ones that were low to bring them up to par, and i think the game was made to go through 1 at a time, as i've got stories mix ups, like events already done that came back in other girls stories, etc.

As i came closer to Ch25, i had to make a choice, i'd say at 20, to just give up some of the girls to do the girls i prefered to their limits before i reached the current build. I decided to give up on Kaitlin as she grew negatively on me over time, i think her face looks like she's a man. I also gave up on Roe as i find the trope of the hyper sheltered religious girl that gets corrupted gets old fast so i didn't find any attachment. I liked Anita, Tina, and when she got there, Sammy.

I also feels like the MC sometimes acts like a limp noodle. Like with Gul. My dude just unmade Woden in like 5 seconds. Why couldn't he just have done the same with Gul? Force pull, stab, done. Ifuma did it like tons of time just like that, so did the MC. Why all scared and shit. Just blast him in front of Ifuma so he knows to be careful to find out if he fucks around too much.

I also found it was stupid to boot Ifuma in the darkness. Like the Ur-entede would just let a corpse be there for all eternity. I get that the MC may not have wanted to do the dirty job, but Just port him back and let Polly unmake him to regain her lost QI, easy as that. To leave someone alive after you get told for the last 15 chapters how bad he his seems foolish. I get that it was done with the purpose to bring him back later, but still.

So what do you think of the last scene? Is it Ifuma reborn with super powers, or is it the Ur-entede possessing him and having his emotions and life's baggage as his base experience on humans? Speaking of the Ur-entede, i had the feeling all game long that he was not neutral at all and putting everything in motion to help the Malkine fulfill their goal and blocking all the opposition trying to interfere.

And i saw from some posters, how do you get to be able to translate what the entedes say? Is it an in game step i didn't take?

I was hoping to have a feature to replay story segments as it needs too many saves for my sanity to track, so i'm happy that the dev will adress it.

All in all, i am satisfied with this game and i'm happy that i found it, especially in a very late stage of production.

Here we are with 0.26.0 uploaded and ready to deploy. There was a hiccup in the build where a scene flag was missed, so we had to go through the build/upload process twice, but we had enough time to get it done on schedule.

As you can see from the notes below we've been doing a fair amount of continuity updates as storylines come to an end. Removing Kaitlin from Saaya's story does change a few scenes, but the gist of the narrative remains the same. The Robin update? It's a temporary fix that'll be dealt with in 0.27.0, where we've added a third scenario for the scene where you rescue her from her father.

Here's the release schedule for 0.26.0 (all scheduled for 11:59 am EDT release):

Tier 3 - June 16, 2023
Tier 2 - June 18, 2023
Tier 1 - June 20, 2023
Public - June 21, 2023

Change Log 0.26.0
• Added new main story scenes
• New story for Kaitlin (25), Tina (23), Anita (23), Marisa (23), Roe (23), Robin (23), Sammy (20), Natalie (5), Kara (9)
• Fix additional typos and grammatical errors
• Fixed code that had Saaya combo scenes showing up too late in her story
• Continuity update: Added in code to disable progressing Robin's Story past 7 if you've progressed Sammy's Story past 17 (temporary).
• Continuity update: Added in code to disable progressing Tina's Story past 6 if you've progressed Sammy's Story past 17.
• Continuity update: Added in code to remove scene with Kaitlin in Tina Story 9 and 14 if you ended Kaitlin's Story.
• Continuity update: Added in code to remove scene with Kaitlin in Anita Story 7 if you ended Kaitlin's Story.
• Continuity update: Added in code to remove scenes with Kaitlin in Saaya Story 1, 6, 8 and 9 if you ended Kaitlin's Story.

Thanks for your interest and support,
