Imagine making over $6,600 a month on 'developing' a game that you haven't updated in 2 years.
Previous updates took roughly 2-5 months each and still provided a few hours of content.
I guess the couple of devs realized that they don't actually need to do anything or rather take their sweet fucking time doing it to get paid... This game had a huge potential to become one of the best porn games but the devs decided to be cheap about it and didn't hire anybody while leeching money off of their patreons monthly.
This update better contain a week worth of playtime in content.

It's not going to. It'll probably have the usual 30-40 minutes of content if you read everything, 10ish minutes if you're a skip straight to the porn player. There's a laundry list of excuses for why it took so long, so expect the same level of quality as we already got and if it's somehow better then be pleased with it.

This is the cryptozoo of porn games.

Did we have any date to 1.0 release or still nothing?
I lack your optimism that we will ever even get there. Three more updates is 6 more years at this rate. I'm not even sure there will still be a planet Earth in 6 years, let alone porn games.
Oh no. 23 tasks left (probably more coming), 23 days left in november. And if they need a week to do the final release preparations as usual, then they won't make the deadline.
Never having had any faith in the release date is really helping me here, because I feel no sense of disappointment over it slipping.
For my sanity, does the MC just remain a happy go lucky idiot?
...
Some of the humor is amusing don't get me wrong, but goddamn does the man have to do the dumbest thing at all times?
That is his character and we love him for it goddammit. It reminds me of the old Leisure Suit Larry games, part of the fun is helping some total loser get laid.

Just be thankful he's not a loser with a hideous bowl 'do, like in Summertime Saga :p
iirc the game offers no mechanics. it's fancier than the common VNs but still no gameplay
Mechanics? I think you mean pointless grinding to pad out gameplay. No thanks! I'll take pure content instead. This is one area of design philosophy the Nuts got *exactly* right.

I'm a masochist on that regard. I grew up playing those janky meet n fuck games. Even mediocre sex scenes feel great if you are frustrated navigating through poorly made minigames, and the scene finally comes as a release. Of course, it is better if the minigames are well made, but bad ones work too

There's something satisfying about having to work for the scene. Otherwise, I could just go on Pornhub

RPG Maker porn games be like: hey anon, if you bring me 600 tufts of grass I'll show you my boobs! uwu
Yeah the devs for WAL have their flaws but not including shit like that is a design choice I'll be forever thankful for.
Those "600 tufts of grass" would be useful in this situation tho.

Touching grass is what many people have been doing for the past 2 years without an update (when doing something else like playing other games is not an option at least).

I'm also really grateful they left the grinding out of this game. (y)

The goal of an RPG, I'd like to say.. without the boobs part...... however....

I mean everything that makes a porn VN game something more than just a flood of text between lewd scenes. By 'mechanics' I mean exactly this. A fishing mini-game, a doll-dressing mini-game, an exploration or a fighting mode, multiple plot lines - these are mechanics. You playing a game by using mechanics, otherwise it's just a VN. So iirc WaL is a straight-forward VN with no gameplay. It would be nice to have something to do in a game but it takes an actual game design.
