I agree with this but a lot of people including myself have contacted him and replied to his posts asking about a new demo with no reply at all and just being ignored,he always seems to ignore questions about a new demo build. My fear is that he keeps doing polls and giving little animations and 'showing" a newer build, without actually releasing anything, thus turning it into a cash cow with no actual progress like ToT. Im also not saying NG is like them now,he has done heaps more in being active and showing SOMETHING and not nothing at all.
If I were a solo game developer, I'd ignore it too (for the most part) and just post a small FAQ and leave it at that. Answering the same question over and over is demoralizing for some people, and making promises then not being able to keep them is usually worse. Fans being enthusiastic is cool though, but y'know.

Hard todo this on Patreon though as people have certain expectations in your progress and what you showing you gonna lose if you doesn't provide something that makes sense.
You never the less doing commercial development you could do what you say without taking any money at first but not like this with commercial intent behind it.

She should just push a ball gag in his mouth or plaster it with a tape i think that's even what most wanted to see overall ;)
She could even use her magic alone in a visible way to mute him out entirely and by his face reaction you would see it "distress".

I think we aren't far away from him getting Strapped and have to Strapped enjoy her sooner or later poor hero he is ;)
And this Evil Dark Witch Bitch is enjoying every moment of her controlling his misery and the chosen voice actress plays this out not so bad :D
This, this right here would be a great way to add a mute opton for our MC hero.

For game development, if you want constant monthly updates, somewhere along the line the game will suffer, if for example every single month you need a demo the developer will have to prepare a demo, potentially cutting into work that could be done elsewhere. If you look at something like Sea of thieves which uses a games as a service model, you'll notice that the content that has been added over time hasn't been mechanically substantial, instead focusing on chasing a cash flow to further develop the game which means more development time is focused on objects and items that don't add anything mechanically to the game - cosmetics.

Also from a creative development perspective, if you look at how numericgazer works on his project, he is in the pursuit of improving technique and working on his skills to provide a better experience, eventually he may be able to use these skills to develop other projects at a quicker pace and experiment. I'm sure if he was just doing things like making animation, publishing animation, making animation and then publishing animation he would probably lose interest in the project at hand, so it's in the best interest of the project to allow the artist to experiment creatively and for them to craft a more rewarding experience for the player.

I'm not normally into femdom, but the combination of hot witch and fantastic animations is changing my mind. Now I'm desperate to see more of this. Has there really been no updated release in two years? Is this Alice game he's mentioning on his Patreon page a different game he's working on?

Well yeah I'm sorry for being skeptical about this whole project of his but at this rate this is ridiculous.
It seems like the developer actually forgot that he's working on a porn game and not a triple A game. Open world,free roam trainning system 90% of the things he's talking about all are useless.No one will play a femdom game to see architectures of houses and carefully built cities From what I've seen so far is that he completely trashed everything about the previous releases of the game and now he's building a whole new game, Which means the next release will again be an Alpha version but with different things built around the game. No improvement in the fighting system, no story line,no quests just open world with fighting and scenes and after losing a quick "GAME OVER" screen nice.

I hadn't heard of the game until yesterday, and had no idea the dev switched gears entirely to make UtW into an open world game. I'm considerably less excited for more because I know how this story goes. The reason the animations were of such high quality is because that was the entire focus of development. Now I already know even without following the dev on social media that he's going to be spread too thin. It's either going to be a terrible open world game with great animations, a good open world game with mediocre porn, or it's going to be bland all around. He's trying to do the equivalent amount of work as a triple A game studio with a fraction of the budget and manpower, and it never goes well.

This is the type of game i think "meh, too early version, i will check out when be new update"
pass month and i check this game again
another mounth and again, etc
open world ambition is strange, i mean even AAA come out terrible, even if they have been made for years
I don't remember any good porn game with 3d open world, actual open world, not 3d render images with events
if you look at unreal engine openworld games, they bad (at least i dont know any good) you just walk around and activate animations, it's all, usually they even dont have any story, it gets boring quickly
what's the point in the open world then

the dev is too ambitious. Lets hope he pulls it off. But doing this alone is impossible. Mainly bcs it can burn the dev out of the workflow and just cancel the project. It happens way too often.

it's abandoned? it's a year without an update
No, the dev made an update a few months ago.

As for the open world, I like the idea and think it would create a lot of oppertunity for hide and seek style fetch quests. Just imagine sneaking around for stat enhancing items while trying to avoid being violated by overpowered witches and their sexually hungry minions.

I support his Patreon, he gives monthly updates.

That being said, you are all well aware of the HUGE scope he has at the moment. The updates are sometimes quite bare bones but he does share animations every month since October (And they were linked in this thread)

Yeah, that's the problem. People liked the game because of the incredibly well done animations. He's attempting to do the workload that even large studios with seven+ figure budgets fail to achieve.

As opposed to being in one place and activating animations.
No?
Linear games much easier to make compared to open world
especially one developer, look on koikatu, this game did AAA studio (in porn industry)
even so, the open world is a joke in it, and the game runs pretty bad, there is almost nothing to do in it (in open world)
so this game is clearly not loved for that
although the game has only a school, maybe bad example but still
their other game ai shoujo, have a large world, yet again the game runs bad, now in the openworld they added a grind gameplay, and he's terribly boring, picking up items from the floor, fishing, craft, repeat, i'll be honest i didn't even see sex scenes in this game lol.
if even AAA porn games suffer from open world, why indie games doesn't more.

Idk what an openworld the author this game wants to create, but even a few locations very difficult to create
all i want to say, is it worth the effort to make openworld, as the game may be experiencing optimization issues, graphics, models, gameplay, game design, etc, all this is more difficult than having a linear game
from my experience it's not worth it
of course this is not the end of this game
maybe the game will be good in other aspects
but in the open world you can already imagine what it will be, unless there is a miracle
