So the chanelog says it adds "4 ingame days of new content.(thu,fri,sat,sun)" but to me it really only felt like 2, is that just me or did some of the days end when I didn't notice. Maybe I did something wrong? Because the way I see this update summed up is -->
*Previous update ends while banging Minami and that's where this update starts, day ends after banging Sheila.
*Next day starts with Shinji and his "dream", then the scene with the teacher, then going to Takamura's dojo then going home.
*The next day you go to Catherine's house and get caught by MC's mom sexing the neighbor, doing the photoshoot with Inori, banging Yuna, returning home to see mom in her maid outfit.
*In the morning the mom see's MC's morning wood, and update ends.
So is that what he means by 4 days? Cause if so that's extremely misleading as 2 of them aren't full new days. Otherwise I'm not too sure, like I said unless I did something wrong or need to start a new game?
The new update 0.6.4 started after going to Minami home, Thursday afternoon. Then you have Takamura on Friday, Inori and Yuna Photoshop on Saturday, and an intro to Sunday. I think that it would be more correct speaking about 3 days full , but it's correct too if Dev wrote about 4 days ingame new content . In every case you didn't anything wrong , your game route is absolutely perfect
Yeah I'ma be completely honest with how I see this update.
On 1 hand it's pretty good, the 4 days is misleading it's 2.5 days if anything. If we say 3 scenes per day minimum then you end up with 0.3 per scene and we finish Thursday with 1 scene (Sheila) and Sunday starts with 1 dream. Minami's conclusion I don't count the rendering was probably already done for her and was just left out as a to be continued.
Thursday: This is fine, I mean you can't complain about him finishing the day?
Friday: I loved this day overall I felt there was enough content and was only underwhelmed by how the night just ends when you get home, no bath, no scheming, legit just says: quickly showered then bed (Also isn't the MC meant to be tutoring Sheila nightly?).
Saturday: Arguably had the most "content" and I was content with how everything played out. However yet again the day just ends abruptly after you return home.
Sunday: This by far made no sense to me. I can't see this day being extremely eventful, the MC intends to corrupt the mum, help Takamura(?) and maybe do some other shit, sure... But this update took 4 months to release.
Using this am I to believe the creator is creating 1 in-game day of content every 2 months roughly? Furthermore if we assume every update is 0.03 of a game he's going to take 2 more years to finish the game.
I'm sorry but I had the same issue with summertime saga which is the no.1 earning patreon made "eroge". The last update for that took 4 months, with over 40k a month funding. 10 months on that income and DarkCookie is building a fucking house.
This being said drawn games take more effort, they require lines and colouring to be redrawn over and over to create fluid animation. But on a 40k a month budget... for an eroge it's weird.
Now DarkCookie is updating the outdated art to be better e.g. removing hard lining and making everything smoothly shaded so on. But still...
Then with rendered games like this from external engines I just wonder how does it take some people 2 months to make an in-game week but this dev somehow took 4 months for 2 and a half days of content.
I'll admit I like this game more than most and appreciate the effort put in but while quality>quantity. It just seemed like a School of lust scenario in which you get 2-6 scenes in 4 months; I will end this by at least saying that I understand that games take work or they'd just look sloppy and come out as undesirable to play.
That being said while this dev I believe is making a normal income on the game; some like School of Lust are making 20k a month and are releasing updates every 4 or 6 fucking months with 2-3 months of content in them (for most other dev's).
At some point this year I intend to create my own game; I have multiple stories written down and a friend who draws both SFW and NSFW images, and is learning to animate etc. While I'm fine with how Patreon works it does annoy me that people don't punish dev's for taking absurdly long for little content; I'd expect our numbers to go down the second we start taking 4 months to release half the content. Summertime Saga is somewhat understandable; School of Lust blows my mind, half a year for <10 sexual scenes, of which only 1 was even a "sex scene" (not even tbh). I love SoL but I'd never support it, quality is fine, just makes the game wayyy too slowly and makes promises they can't deliver on.
