Kevin is the guard that help Lassie and no, I don't think Lassie will ever have sex with her, that would mean cheating on a real friend and this is a big no no...

Jokes apart, this is a fun and lighthearted game as a general rule, and the only exception will be Waldo ( the gatekeeper, and he deserve it imho), Gretta his wife deserve a better man than him. :)
Ooh right that's who that is, well yeah bros before hos!

Yeah I was very tongue in cheek, mostly a veiled compliment to the art of this game, it's in a league of its own imo. I'll have to pick it back up in an update or two.

As much as it pains me, longer updates with proper releases is best. Games that have updates shorter than the time to unzip is frustrating
With games that get monthly or even quarterly updates, I always end up skipping a few updates until it looks like there's a couple hours of new content accumulated, because it's not worth my time to download, try to remember what was going on in the story, and then play for 15 minutes before hitting the new end of content. I guess I owe MagicNuts an apology, since I was one of the ones that voted for longer, comprehensive updates that people are now using to shit on them for being part of some "weird tendency" that definitely exists and isn't just entitled babies using the bad actions of a couple devs to paint all devs with the same brush in order to justify wasting time by complaining about games they're pirating anyway instead of just finding other games on the same damn site to play while they wait.

Updates ARE long as hell and that does bum me out but considering the circumstances what can you do. Can't talk shit anyway this was the highest quality game I've played on here so far.

Hi, everybody.

I hope you're all doing well. Here's a summary of our work this week:

Chestnut:

She followed through with her plan of continuing her work on WIP cutscenes and did three from earlier parts of Gomira's first quest. I had already coded these cutscenes into the game, so now that their final version is ready, I will need to replace the dummy art.


Pistachio:

I did a lot of things this week: coded in background elements (and animation), posed several dialogues from the beginning of Gomira's second quest, wrote new conversations between characters, which I thought were necessary, and edited every text I was working on.


Next week's plan:

Chestnut will continue working on cutscenes --she wants to start a bigger multi-stage one, and I will keep posing scenes from the second quest.

That's all.

Have a wonderful week.
Cheers

P.S. Out of curiosity, I did a new word count, and we have 51K words in 0.7's file (not counting optional convos). The last time I checked, we had been at 43K words, so I've added a lot of text while editing and trying to improve everything. Most of these new dialogues are from Gomira's first quest, so I expect the number will grow as I slowly edit and pose the second quest as well, but I also am sure there to be a drop in the number since we do a lot of trimming and cutting in the final polishing stage.

Art progress after 1 year - 190/283
191/283, to be precise.
Less than 1\3 remaining.
Hand drawn art takes time. Deal with it.
But nice story. Thanks for sharing.
This 2D type of games in 2023 doesn't worth waiting 1 year.
That was 1 month ago, yet you're still here complaining...
Feel free to leave & not wait anymore.

That's not the case, I read the update, it should take 3 months at most, now the people who will write to me may have been ill or another problem may have occurred.
I came from the military, still no update :D

I told you after last release - the next release will be after 1 year. No one believed. This 2D type of games in 2023 doesn't worth waiting 1 year. People are ready to pay 60-140 $ per year to get update with 1-2 characters. If you plan to release 1 update per year, at least make 1 scene per character. If I was dev of this game with 7.000 per month, I would hire workers to do separate stuff. I think devs choose hard way to work with this game, otherwise I have no other idea why it takes so long. I think 1 animate scene and plot with 1 character takes 1 month to develop. So at least I expect 12 animated scene, but I have bad thoughts it is not even gonna happen. Imagine waiting scenes for your fav character 3 years because other character in queue.

Now about positive things =
- Nice scenes for 2D game
- Fair that there is no 20 $ ABOVE pledge in Patreon
- Beautiful arts
- Interesting story
you're preaching to the cult here. Just look at some of the reactions and replies you get, there's a few objective people that still try to hold out, they know its a 2D game and they know Chestnut isn't some scamming developer because they're proven. However questions are raised and rightfully so. People deserve actual answers.

But then there's just straight up weirdos here that will blast you for calling out these long development times with no definitive end in sight. Its like reddit moderators but worse. They'll never objectively see your point and are allergic to grass which explains how they are so active on every thread everyday so a year's wait is nothing to these people who hypocritically would call out patreons on here despite them not ever being a backer.

Thank you for not knowing shit about anything and telling us about it. That is what we love around here, people with zero experience telling us how things should be and how long they should take.

You seem to have mistaken this for the Radiant thread. There has never been a promise for an update to "take 3 months at most", nor has there been a stream of claims of illness or other excuses from the devs. They started out with 3—5 month updates, asked their patrons to vote on it, and the majority voted for updates that covered a given LI's full story, no matter how long that meant between updates. I have been posting analyses after every update, how much new content was added in terms of total file size, number of new images, and in playtime, what it works out to in terms of new content added per day, etc. precisely to compare with previous updates to track if MagicNuts are slowing down and "milking" like the overcaffeinated howler monkeys insist when they storm into this thread to repeat the same debunked twaddle over and over.

If you're going to insist an update is taking longer than it "should", the least you can do is provide an argument for why you think that. Demonstrate that you've put some thought into how much new content is being promised versus how much was in previous updates and how long they took. Demonstrate that other dev teams of similar size with similar artistic quality and dedication to detail roll out similar-size updates quicker. If you just barge into a thread and insist sans evidence that an update is taking longer than some number you've seemingly arrived at by shoving your arm to the elbow up your own ass and yanking out what you found there, nobody is going to take you seriously. They're just going to back slowly away from the raving lunatic while looking for the nearest exit.

...or they'll just add you to their ignore list so they don't have to read your entitled tantrums.
