I understand the the story is mostly about VR but that Virtual Reality tag should not be here.
"Virtual Reality": Used when a game is compatible/made for VR hardware.

I almost wish. Strung along is more like. I would have appreciated a simple lie of writer's block at this point, but it looks like his most recent post says the newest update will be the biggest one ever in terms of overall content. This despite promising smaller monthly updates to avoid this exact type of problem. If it doesn't end up being the largest (or coming out anytime soon) I won't be surprised though.

Further, I don't know why this change of plans was not revealed months ago, or how you can be wholly certain an update is coming out in a few days before pivoting this hard, not releasing it for months and then still not clarifying the "whoopsie" until now.

Nothing about making this rpgmaker game is so secret that it makes sense not to mention in clearer detail why the game is so delayed or why you were so mistaken about its release, so even if this claim isn't a lie he's still an ass who's doing exactly the opposite of what he said he would do and what Patreon requires. Namely delivering content to patrons or an update on content promised regularly and at a pace that makes their patronage fair. As it stands this update costs like 30 dollars per person and counting...

He just needs to deliver an actual explanation, and "the update magically became big and I became silent" or "people noticed I was late and it bothered me so much I became later" isn't good enough. I want to know the exact actual problem, and why the problem was 4+ months long without him pausing his Patreon intake.

I mean I really love these types of games but they always seem to be either abandoned or the creator just keeps feeding off all the free money oh well I guess i'll just hope someone uploads the new versions and if anyone does thanks ahead of time.

Anyone find the H-scene I did literally all the quests and got nothing? It better not involve losing the Valerie trial on purpose.

*Nvm checked the Patreon and it's apparently a coffee activated scene just like the old Val ones.

This game infuriates me. I swear to god there's like a 3 hour content gap between porn. I feel my life wasting away, I'd rather be watching paint dry in moments. If you're going to make a porn game, at least have someone getting fucked every 15 minutes. So many RPGmaker games suffer from this, if you want to make a normal game sort of parodying World of Warcraft go ahead but for fuck's sake just have some T&A. I'm writing this during the courtroom scene with Rose, holy shit dude who cares about any of this, just have a CG of the girl masturbating to the thought of Val once or twice. Rose could also be sexually tempted by Sami.

Lemme think, other places that the dev could just put some porn in, any of which would be way better uses of time than telling some dumb fucking story about a girl being tricked by someone else writing love letters:
One of the people you get cookie ingredients for could require a sexual favor
One of the people you recruit into the guild could require a sexual favor
Two people or maybe more could be having an orgy at the party
There could be one or two people groping the PC in the hospital
As part of the Ana learning to tank, the PC could thank her with sex
A kobold or a member of the other could could try and handhandle the PC or Ana
You could find the oracle in a backroom naked and Ana could punish her
The possessed wolf could try and fuck a character
CUT OUT THE ENTIRE STORY WITH THE KIDS

There is so much potential in this game wasted by the dev spending time writing non-pornographic scenes.

The author could also do a paper doll thing that another RPGmaker game like this did in the past (if anyone knows it by what I describe, please tell me), where you see your PC's avatar in whatever clothing you're wearing on the right. The player behaved differently based on wearing panties or not, wearing clothes or not, which clothes, etc.

I don't get why so many sex scenes are locked behind fucking Ana with the wine, this explains a lot but also shows a glaring issue, to me.

The oracle seems like a setup character for later on. You can't fuck animals on patreon because they have a content policy against beast, incest, and rape. And he planned on implementing a character viewer that would change with different outfits but it didn't get in this patch(despite the half year delay).

I definitely agree there needs to be a lot more sex, but I also like that the game feels like a normal reality to a certain extent. Everyone being dtf 100% of the time sort of warps the world and makes all the sex less meaningful. So even though I also want to see more, I like his policy of making only the succubus actually be a sex crazed character.

After reading a few other comments before the someone posted the new update. I think the biggest issue with all devs is they begin to make a game for fun, and as a hobby. Problems then start to arise due public funding, then it becomes like another side job to them, they don't take into account how much work goes into making a game deep into development! And the problems only get worse if the Dev is also the artist, most time the devs have to hire an artist(s) to fill in cg's, having to do the art work and the storyline only piles up.

The issues only get worse if the dev is pulling in major money, and then has to put up with people bitching and complaining, 'why isn't this, done that way', 'what if you added this' - 'I like the game but I'm not going to play it since you wont use suggestions' Again then it becomes a side job and its no longer a hobby, thats been the death of many games regardless of the engine platform!

It been pretty standard with RPGM to write out a storyline, quests, characters, ect, and add some teaser cg's if possible, the goal is to get the game done then go back and fill out in the cg scenes.

With this dev I get the sense he or she doesn't give a shit anymore, but wants to make it appear as if development is going on, meanwhile they're continue to leech the funding into their personal lives on not on game development.

Not set on the animal fucking thing, I'm just throwing ideas out there that wouldn't involve scrapping entire plot threads (except for the Rose story and the orphanage, they're terrible) but would add actual content.

I don't expect the dev to be 100% working on this and I know there's a lot of work posing and making CGs but I the pacing of the sex scenes just blows my mind. It confounds me why someone would make so much of a game yet put almost every sex scene behind drinking the wine in the inn room. I know I visited that room after paying for the night not not sleeping immediately once before, but it must have been too early in the game. Further tying every fucking other scene behind drinking coffee instead of a bed option (once you do it the first time) that just offers you "Wake up in the middle of the night" is bizarre.

With this said, here's my saves with every scene except for the talent show but that seems to mostly be the PC blowing an orc after showing a shitty other talent. I want to save other people from wasting this much time. I can't figure out how to get grass or whatever to not have to fight the billy goat on easy mode, which is where I assume the talent show scene comes from.

Below I have a list of the variables on my file1.rpgsave (as uploaded on saveeditonline.com) that someone might be able to edit to allow the last scene. It could be one of those values with a 0, or maybe any of the others not enumerated, but I don't care anymore. I wasted 8 hours of my time to get one good nut.

THere's also RPGSaveEditor its a simple program found on F95, thats looks like the website ! The RPGSaveEditor program is kind of limited in what you can do, but so is the Save Editor website, the website only allows you to edit a save file once then you have to wait a number of minutes or hours before you can edit anything again. ALl you have to do is register and login the site to edit more files.

And I would be very cautious how you edit anything, if you don't have experience with Editors. You end up adding items to the inventory that are almost exclusively for quests, which can cause the game to break, or go buggy. That would also include money.

I dont disagree if your point on cg's and how scenes are triggered, or should be triggered. ANd the fact there should be more of them in the game. But devs have their own ideas on how they want to make a game, a number of the games on here (regardless of engine platform) seem to be more focused on storyline and quests over just making the game all about cg scenes. But it would bbe nice to have some more cg options and scene in this game.

Just a side note the Save Ediotr site also show you other files found in www/data folder, (.json) once you upload a save from the www/save folder, these can be uploaded and edited. And you get a description of the items instead of 'Variables'!

Yet again I wish it were so simple or even sympathetic. But no, once you make a Patreon you literally actually owe your patrons content, and not giving it to them is stealing. Not one single person that he bothered to grumble over asked for anything other than an explanation for his lateness. No crowds gathered to backseat drive his art and no possibly sympathetically framed dogpiling occurred.

He just was inexplicably late for half a year. A scant few asked for an explanation as to why, and then they were silenced as he proceeded to be even later. The people shouting otherwise were afraid of a table-flip, and regardless of how sycophantic or numerous they are they are still wrong, patreon isn't free money for artists, if it were paypal would suffice.

Secondly, he did seem to be working on this, and maybe actually did seem to think it would be out many month's ago, but still has yet to explain why he was "misled" about this release date by such a ridiculous margin. The update wasn't big enough in comparison to the others that it makes sense pretend he was working on it the whole time. So something else was up.

He needs a mea culpa and a real explanation of what happened before I give him a grain of salt again. This wasn't half a year big, even if it did have mini quests for all the bunny guild(because that's all it was).

The already overdone and huge bomb dungeon had more content in it. And this was despite it taking less time. Regardless its release took much too long, and was recognized as such by both all his fans and Proxxie himself. Why promise otherwise and then do this? How hard is it to churn out a sex scene and a granular update to an rpg maker game every two months? And if the urgent need to update it in a different schedule arrives, why can't you actually say so and then deliver on it while telling us why its necessary?
