The 0.4.5 update was boring for me, and short too.

*shakes my head*
Please, remember while you are playing:
(1) The game it is not finished, it is a work in progress, we are getting to see it and play while it is being developed. The idea behind using this method is to help the developer make a great finished product. We, the users are getting to see it, help or not, provide useful feedback.
(2) When starting out doing any project like this on one's own, the developer is doing every task. Writing the script, drawing, managing the renderings, coding the software engine, etc. We are helping with quality control, which is a really big task for any project. So, be constructive, not destructive.
(3) When I do a single image for someone using DAZ or Carrara or Blender, etc. The more objects in the scene, the longer it takes to render. A airplane on a runway, with a paved surface and grass, clouds, a person or two, and instead of fractal grass, using a texture mapped surface, depending on resolution, can take 20 to 30 minutes for a single frame to render on a single lone computer with 4 CPUs, solid graphic card. Carrara is the only one of the programs i have that I can use multiple computers to work in a render farm configuration. Not everyone has more than one computer starting out.
A animation, can take hours, it is 15 seconds long, and looped, at 24 frames per second, you have 360 images (15 x 24 = 360).
taking the airplane image, that is 7,200 minutes for it to render. That is 120 hours for a single 15 second animation on a single computer. That speed can be reduced with using a lower resolution (this is based off of my normal render size of 4096 x 4096 pixels). You can normally not do much else while the render is working. If it does not have to be redone, that will consume 5 days of time. And if it has to be redone, each time it is the same.
DISCLAIMER: The time can be shorter or longer depending on lots of factors, complexity of scene, resolution of images, processing power of computer CPU's and GPU's, memory installed, speed of hard drive, etc, it can be shorter, it can be longer.
(4) Software coding in and of it's own, can be both easy and hard at same time. There are things that can happen that deliver unexpected results. These take time to learn how to fix, and to document so they are not done repeated.
(5) Most of the developers you see here, are going solo, or with only a small group. From what I have gathered most have a regular job, and are working to get to the point that they can do development full time. So, working a regular job, doing a software project, attempting to have some sort of social life, cooking food, doing laundry, taking care of daily life chores, and hopefully getting some sleep.
There is a lot more that I could write, but one hopes you get an idea of complexity of what is happening behind the curtain.
So, Way to go Pixel Labs, and every other developer working on a project solo, you are hero's for taking a path less traveled. Keep up the good work, and don't let the Trollkin get you down.
Cheers,

Good to see rhis update.
Also hope you are doing well. health wise.
I've been going through this update, as I have been doing for all previous ones. and so I have tried to make it like my other updates as well.
I've got to say, this update required far less corrections than those before. However I've still done some.
As usual, install when you want in the dir...
hope another will follow soon again
AND, don't thank me, support the dev, please....

This is one of my favourite games here and I can only encourage Pixels to follow the approach he tooks so far. To be honest I play a decent amount of games in skip mode and this is one of a select few where I am eager for every word that is said. It is one of the games that had me hooked from the first episode, because it delivers great immersion and it was clear it had a grand plan.
Like with other other media (books, movies, shows) when seemingly random/unclear stuff is thrown at me at the beginning it indicates that most likely it is well thought through and I have learnd to just accept that something is unclear for now. On top of all that the image quality is just amazing/beautiful and as I said, for me the immersion was there from episode one. And part of that was the surreal feeling that the whole setting and dream like scenes caused when you understood even less than now. Also I think that pairs really well and adds a lot to an erotic/porn game.
What is pretty much the best way of expressing how I feel about this game is, that I as a person who plays a good 60-70% of games in semi skip mode, wasn't disapointed from this update but just neutrally thought: Well I guess there isn't any porn game "content" in this episode, but I'm really excited to find out how the plot progresses in the next.

I think Eve's character shouldn't be a waste and let her be with MC (just saying)
Good game though.

Why should Eve be with the MC? She's his mother and, apparently, a priestess candidate from a previous time... Obviously there's some else going on there with some history but, we get what we get in this story. ... Which is really interesting and entertaining so far. Which leads me to my next question... Almost two years this game has been in development. What's the hold up? I need MORE!

Before you ask, read the thread.
you just might find the answer.....
I don´t think there is, also I am not sure you could miss scenes. (BUT im not 100% sure)

So, I have a question and I'm sure I'm just not remembering and missing it when I skip through the last few updates, but when exactly did Alice hear about the MC killing 3 people?
Again, I'm sure it is there, but I don't seem to be able to find the scene where it happens.

Finished the update, I liked it a lot.
There really wasn't any room for a sex scene, so no problem with that and as always the story is very intriguing.

bit sad about it

?A big and interesting story, a lot of beautiful girls and a great render that gets better and better with each update – that's what awaits you in this game!
In addition, MrKnobb is much more stable than me. And RTP has already released two full seasons and is now releasing a third!
Come on in and enjoy!

A proofreader would be nice...
On another note, I love the fact that the MC isn't a complete moron, that he actually questions everything.

My video card burned out. While I decide what to do. Do not lose me.

I wanted to surprise you and add animation for 240 frames to the next update (render one frame is 65 minutes), but, unfortunately, my video card had other plans, it died. It’s just that during the rendering smoke came out of it, and now it doesn’t work. Tomorrow I will take her to a service center under warranty. I think it will take more than a month to wait for an answer, and I'm not sure that it will be repaired. In my opinion, waiting so long is stupid. So, I’m thinking of buying a new graphics card to continue working. If they fix the old one, then I will have 2 video cards, if not, I’ll come up with something.
I don’t have much money right now because of the operation. If I try very hard, then I can get about $ 700. I think the best option for this day would be the RTX 2070 super. A good video card, the only thing that bothers me is 8Gb of memory. I know that some of my scenes require more memory, and if there is not enough memory, the rendering speed will drop significantly. But I have no choice, right? I can never afford to buy an RTX 2080 ti with 11 Gb of memory for $ 1,500. If only I will save for six months.
Until I have a video card, I will work on text and other things for the game. There is always a lot of work.
I think that's all I can say for now. I know that I have already earned myself the title of the most unlucky adult game developer in the world. But I really hope that this is the last serious problem that I have encountered.
Do not lose me and thank you.
And the last one! If someone wanted me to support me financially, but was looking for a reason, now is the time. I know that I have no right to ask for it, and I usually never ask, but now, it would help me a lot.
And yes, everyone who supported me this month will receive an update when it is ready according to their level of support.
