I see I just have to resign myself to having to do this every single update since the impatient and paranoid don't actually give a shit about the truth when spinning their "update taking too long/devs milking" narratives.

The current progress tracker on whatalegendgame dot com has 1,189 items (47 planning + 291 polish + 851 content), which is 42% larger than the previous record holder (0.6's 837 items). The devs update that tracker daily and release weekly progress updates and semi-regular WIP videos on Patreon, same as they've done for the last three updates. This is one of the most transparent dev teams and there's been no signs of change in their process that would suggest they're doing anything other than following their proven track record of working harder than they should. Lying by asserting that the last update took 18% longer than it actually took brings fucking nothing to the conversation. There's gazillions of games on this site, go play some while you wait.

Hi, everybody.
I hope you're all doing well.

Last week, we started a poll to determine which towns and World locations people are most eager to see, and although we're not going to post the results as this poll doesn't have an end date, it's still interesting to check it out and see how different towns are faring so far (and vote if you haven't already). It's perhaps not surprising that the New Capital is the favorite since it will be the largest map we have; what's more surprising is the popularity of Hump Town, a place I don't believe we've mentioned in the game before. We plan to design it in the style of 1001 Nights stories and look forward to adding it to the game when the time is right.

Speaking of adding new towns, Chestnut has finished the map she was working on, complete with all of its locations, buttons, and day/night variations. I can't reveal which town it is, and we will only be using one of its locations in version 0.7 (similar to how we added Cin Town in 0.6) but I think people will like it. She has also completed one cutscene for an optional but adorable event and has started another larger, more sexy cutscene.

I have been working on the final event from Gomira's first quest, adding new dialogues, posing characters, and modifying the code in one instance, which I believe improves it. I'm making progress, slower than I'd prefer since this event involves several new characters that require careful development, but making progress all the same. In the coming week, I plan to do something different (to vary it a little) and work on posing the travel events of 0.7 (I have coded it already). I will also add the new map to the game.

Chestnut will continue working cutscenes, first finishing the one she recently started, and afterward, she plans to play through the game a few times to test everything that's been done so far, take note of the necessary art tasks, and provide feedback on the new content I've added to the game since she last tested it.

That's all for now.
I hope you all have a great great weekend.
Cheers!

The last update took a full year, so buckle up
I thought they were going to update each 5 month, isn't it why they are focusing on one character each. Maybe I am wrong, I thought I read it right. Welp time to delete this game from my brain for a while.

Yeah, never trust a patreon developer that gives you a time limit for updates. Devs that actually stick to those figures typically make very small updates or are making games with much, much smaller scope. Most devs will slowly lose control of said scope and it'll go from one month to two, two to four, four to six, and then things will get out of control. It's the nature of the patreon beast: inexperience, greed, and laziness go hand in hand.

They did a Patreon poll early on and the patrons voted for updates that complete a given LI's storyline no matter how long they take, rather than frequent mini updates with perpetual cliffhangers.

I see the harem tag in planned content. Do you know how that is going to work given what you have said? Since it involves more than 1 character. Is the harem content going to come last?

Speaking of, there are a couple of threesome scenes already if you complete the storylines for Myrtle and Rose.

Awesome! If it's possible for Chestnut to actually run a playtest of their additions that's a good sign that at least the basic skeleton of the new Gomira quests is in place.
Obviously. You need to have the two love interests "unlocked" already before you can jump into threesomes.
Harem, to me, doesn't just mean "foursome or moresome". It means an environment where all of Lassie's gals are comfortable being sexual with him and/or each other in either a sort of "free love" relationship, or in a "master and slavegirls" setting (even if only roleplay). Otherwise it's not a harem, it's just... polygamy I guess?

I also just don't believe it's realistic for this game, given the characters and story already established. To shift from where we are into a harem setting would be a major tonal shift, and also necessitate some characterization shifts that I can't see happening. It would take a lot of work and character development for women like Myrtle and Simone to become comfortable lounging around nude on divans watching other women getting drilled by Lassie's wonderdongTM. Having a harem isn't just "two or three girls sharing the same man", it's very specifically "a large group of women, who are all reserved for sex with one man only, and they all know this". It's not enough for Lassie to run around banging a bunch of women who don't really know each other exist. So I don't actually expect the game to ever have what I would consider "real" harem content.

Note that this isn't a complaint, I wasn't actually looking for harem stuff in this one! My preferred harem stories are more along the lines of the harsher BDSM variety anyway, and Lassie's too nice a kid to be like that.
