ShinyBoots1993, little request. Mind to ask the devs to add images for their rear view? I mean smacking asses is fine but you'll never see them from behind in their outfits.

In a Perfect world we could get it but budget and time limits what can be done.
Pretty much this.
Just a little frame with a hand blended in is fine, i think. Just a single picture, no need to add 30+ images using live 2D and stuff but a render for each outfit.
e.g.
Still takes time and money away from other things but I can put this on the todo list as I'm a slut for anything that gives us more comic panels.
Definitely don't want another 10-15 years game.
I really hope you're being hyperbolic.
I remember when we got complaints about us updating too frequently.
Thats precisely the reason why they want to reach 1.0 before starting to add new chapters, if you get the game done first, then all you need to do is add more content to it instead of working on the mechanics and then finding out something in the code breaks down the line.
I don't know why we have so many people who don't think this is a good thing.
Fckng great.
And don't even try to tell me how necessary it was or how rare this occasion will be. For grindy games like this - it's bullshit. Period.
Okay legitimate question.
No snark, no sarcasm.
Do you believe we wanted to break saves?
Or that we made no attempt to fix the issue without breaking the save?
Again I'm not making fun of you or attempting to be hostile.
I genuinely want to know if you genuinely believe there was malice toward you and other players behind this action.
Mmm it would be nice to recover items and money, if not exp, from our last save. Would it be possible?

I don't know about being able to "recover" but I can ask around to see if there's something to alleviate things.
With an update drawing people in, soon the cycle of questions will start anew here. And I will become like Peter once more.

You're giving me flashbacks.
So this is 0.8c they're working on that'll be coming soon? To my understanding this will just be bringing dialougue updates and smoother gamplay?
It's been 3 months since .08b and we're just now moving to .08c :/ I don' mean to sound rude, just itching to get to some of these art previews we've seen for the S1 girls that aren't planning to be implemented to 0.9 at the earliest
General reminder that we are in active development of a video game. One where we have actually forked the engine to include things like real time physics.
Not every release is going to be content heavy until all of the systems are in place.
Not to throw shade but just look at Summertime Saga, Rogue Like Evolution, Yandere Simulator. The devs did not think long term when it comes to development.
Summertime Saga spent SEVERAL YEARS to fix their code. Yandere Simulator is essentially malware with how demanding it is on even high end computers. There is no such thing as a STABLE build of Rogue Like Evolution.
Again, no shade. It's just reality. We either do it right the first time or we end up with a mess that is a pain in the ass to work with.
Edit: I've just been informed that Summertime Saga is still having issues reimplementing things even after cleaning their code. Do y'all really want us to go through the same thing?
I also played Marvel Midnight Suns, and I think it's pretty underrated.
Fucking mood.
Nobody knows. When 1.0 comes out depends on if 0.8c (tech upgrade and optimization coming out by the end of the month) and 0.9 have any issues popping up since 1.0 is supposed to be a very ironed build of base gameplay systems so that 1.1 onward is mostly just adding new content and scenes as opposed to constantly going back and tweaking base systems non stop like other projects.
Essentially.
There will be bug fixes of 1.0 but by the time 1.1 every system we want will be in place. Adding art and writing won't be changing anything under the hood.
So if we ever have to fix a bug past 1.1 assume the machine spirits are angry and we have to sacrifice some of you to the Omnissiah.
Considering that we're on a summertime saga release pace at the moment, probably early next spring
Dude summertime saga release pace was multiple years. I'm prone to hyperbolic statements myself but this is a new level.
As long as the game doesnt get abandoned having to push things back a few months isn't the worst
I can assure you that no one on staff has lost any passion for the project. I wouldn't even consider 0.8c to be pushing things back because it fixed some things. If we're lucky it may speed things up.
If I am reading the chart correctly that means the next update won't have Storm, Kitty, and Daz since they are supposed to be the LI's for chapter 2, right?
I thought with the sneak peeks we have gotten they they were gonna be part of the next release.
Part of the reason the sneak peaks exist is to counter the accusations that we're just sitting around.
As someone with eyes in the dev room, I can assure you that Chapter 2's art and writing are being worked on while the under the hood systems are being finished.
The time between 1.0 and 1.1 won't be long as we're almost done with the intro of Chapter 2 and people are already working on sandbox writing for the new girls.
Yeah, they always said they want to finish all the game mechanics before adding more characters and story to streamline development.
And I will remind people every time they forget.
We will never be broadly thanked for ensuring the game won't end up a buggy mess down the line but we don't need that validation. Simply releasing a functional product is a goal we strive for.
