Well, I bit the bullet and bought it on Steam. Even though it's not really Early Access and there's uncertainty on whether or not Steam would allow any updates to the game if it's not in the form of a DLC...even though Steam achievements don't work properly...even though there's no Mac build and I'll have to run it on a non-main setup. Render quality is way above average, and the story engaging.
BUT...
it's been almost 18 months (June 2024) since the 1st part of Chapter 1 was released. This release has the 2nd part, and it's clocking at 430-ish additional renders. I'm sure there are a lot of explanations, and undoubtedly valid ones, for such a large timeframe between the two releases, for so little renders, with work done on the GUI, the soundtrack and all...
But if you're indeed at some 10% of the story being told, given how little engagement there is on the Discord and on Patreon, I'm sorry but there's no way this game will ever be completed if it keeps that pace.

It's pretty interesting. Very beautiful renders, actually tried this a while ago, but didn't remember, so did a quick refresher. I do hope the pace of releases pick up, cause has a ton of potiential. I will say one thing I can't really jive with is MC's hair. Something looks off, like for some reason it just doesn't look like it matches him to me, kind of hope for some sort of haircut to change something more suiting, but this could be subjective and just a me thing.

Question for dev, I seen no harem planned, which is fine, but any chance for some throuples/poly, maybe certain combos, or pairings that may work. I am hopeful but understand if not.
On top of this, threesomes planned maybe for throuples if possible or non throuples, where we can have some nice lesbian fun in them, between family members and even other girls like Beatrice, etc.

But yeah, love the game, just hope updates get bigger and faster. Hope to hear back, other than that keep up the good work on the game.

I’ve said many times in my Patreon devblogs that AVN development is not my main source of income. To keep working on the project, I have to work another job in parallel, and that takes about 80% of my free time.

According to player feedback, the visual side of my work is genuinely high quality. Achieving that level takes a lot of time and effort, and I’m intentionally not willing to lower the bar. It’s important for me to create something I can be proud of, not just push out “something quickly.”

On top of rendering, there’s work on the UI, music, testing, rewriting scenes, optimization — all the things that aren’t always visible from the outside but are essential to development.

I’m moving as fast as my circumstances allow, and I’m doing everything I can to ensure the story is finished and maintains solid quality. If I’m lucky and Steam brings in enough income, updates will come out much faster, and I’ll be able to invest in new hardware, which will speed up the workflow as well.
