this basically is a nice game, the only flaw is that it is not complete and most likely risks being abandoned T.T
You say that like it's some earth shattering event. You obviously don't realise that a game marked abandoned gets that tag removed the instant the dev returns with a new update. It's simply to let players know not to expect an update any time soon.

So it's been 1+ year of no game updates now, right?
Can't wait to go through a years worth of game development in 1-2 hours.
I honestly feel like I may have to start over just to remember most of the previous material. lol
Storyline kinda gets lost, sometimes, when you go too long.

The way I understood his comment was not in reference to the abandoned tag, but in reference to truly being abandoned.
When I say "risks being abandoned", I truly mean "dev is done with it, and will completely abandon it for good." I may be wrong, but giving benefit of doubt, that's how I read the above comment. lol

There was a news post a few days ago, it had little to say that people here would be interested in hearing so I didn't bother posting it but I'm bored now so here goes.

The summary is that RPG maker MZ (the newer version) seems to be easier to transfer things over into than originally thought, so Proxxie might transfer the game over earlier than planned depending on plugin shenanigans.

Also apparently we are supposed to get another news post sometime this Sunday and it will have images in it. (hooray)

Thanks for the update.

On an unrelated note does it strike anyone else as odd that the two main characters who are having sex never kissed each other?

Not at all. I've had sexual relationships and never kissed the woman, so it seems normal, to me. lol

This is potentially a good story if the dev would concentrate on developing the story beyond being a vehicle to connect his mini-games.
The blonde girl and Ana seemed to have begun having sex as fuck buddies, but there are hints of their relationship developing. The scene when the blonde girl expressed concern over her cheating on Ana with the elf girl.
The characters coming to realizing they are on the cusp of a relationship could add drama over if they want to commit or not. Or if they are ready to admit they are dating. Ana would have to admit she is attracted to a woman, and the blonde girl would have to admit she is Ana's girlfriend.
IMO it's a shame such a quality VN with good writing and great images doesn't take advantage of its natural strengths.
I do wish the dev would add more images to illustrate the scene rather than adding paragraphs to every static image.
(Sorry it's been a long while since I played the VN and off-hand I can't remember the name of the blonde girl and the elf girl.)

The blonde is the protag, and from what I remember (been a while for me as well haha) you get to pick your name. Protag is technically a guy, just stuck in virtual reality being a female. Ana, being a woman in real life, just with a dick in virtual world, would probably end up confused as hell in real life, cause she's attracted to a male in a female body lol. And, with that same mentality, the protag would be confused as well, knowing he's attracted to women, but still loves taking a cock. lol

Which is why the name of this VN was so well chosen.
The Proteus effect describes a phenomenon in which the behavior of an individual, within virtual worlds, is changed by the characteristics of their avatar.
I'm wondering if they still are in the tubes at the lab or were sucked into the matrix and are living their virtual reality. But I watch a lot of the Twilight Zone. LOL

Would be humorous if the blonde girl met a female character that she knew who told the blonde girl that she just got pregnant. Just to watch the anxiety that would cause. LOL

MC gets preggo, only to find out that the preggo takes effect in reality, when waking up from the virtual shenanigans...and since men can't be preggo, this would mean MC changes to female in reality, due to some crazy electrical issue that happens to the system while they are in the machine. lol (I know, I'm really reaching here haha)

Blonde Girl and Ana already have had a threeway with the cute elf girl, but will there be a threeway with one of the guys in the bunny guild?
Or a three way with Blonde Girl+elf girl+spell-caster elf girl?

From the time i was a patron of this game, Proxxie did kinda hint towards the MC and Ana having their bodies changed IRL too. So i actually don't think this is so much of a reach. Especially since this game is all about how the MC and Ana change as people due to their bodies changing.

I'm going to call Alex Alex, it's a gender neutral name and this is getting annoying. I was absolutely Rump-rustled my first playthrough when not renaming your character from their perfectly fine girl's name to something new resulted in the impossibility of ever getting further sex scenes.

As for more three way action I don't quite know what's in store but more women worshipping Ana's massive God-Rod seems like the current iron in the fire. I think Shiri is planned to receive meat update after this one but I can't remember.

On the subject of dudes, any non-orc man present in a sex scene is likely going to get sph'ed and buttblasted if what Alex's brief stint in his original gender is anything to go by. But who knows.
