Ha! So now I'm an influencer! Nice :ROFLMAO:

Re: next update lenght: if you played the whole game, the 0.6 version was entirely about Rose. So every scene in her story since you find Jebediah at her door was the new content made for 0.6 (that is her 3 quests: fighting her inner demon and getting accepted by the villagers, regaining her powers, and finally dealing with Abu-Gadu; plus the threesome with Myrtle, from Myrtle carving her special blue dildo to the actual scene; and of course the repeteable sex scenes with her which are basically reusing the quest's art but still needed to be coded and written differently). Devs said this next update (entirely focused on Gomira) will have more words than Rose's but only 2 quests (instead of the usual 3) that will be more action-packed so they are more complex to draw (in fact, there are way more art tasks planned in the progress tracker for 0.7 -283- than there were for 0.6 -199-); all in all, this means that in terms of playtime it *could* feel shorter than the previous ones despite being objectively bigger. At least, according to devs, who in my experience tend to understimate how much time attentive players actually need to complete each update.

As for the long waiting times between updates, in top of the art being more complex than in previous updates, our beloved Galician couple have had a second child back in September so development slowed down noticeably for a few months. On top of that, the man of the house also had to undergo a minor surgery that went wrong and he had to be patched again, so for a month or so he wasn't able to neither properly work on the game nor on his parental duties, putting more weight on his wife's shoulders (who happens to be the team's only artist if we don't count the sketch artist they commision for some backgrounds). So you can see it's been an eventful period and it has had an impact on development time. Fortunately for you, patrons have already chosen Holly as the main focus for 0.8 update, so you won't have to wait as long as Maple's or Lady Goldenbush's fans.

The fullscreen issue could be caused by multiple reasons. According to devs, "if you have issues with the pc build, try the compressed version, or you can also press shift+G and play around with different graphics options (changing rendering mode, fps, etc.) to improve the game's performance."
You just blew my mind... So a couple from Galicia is making this game? But I thought Galicians had no sense of humour! :KEK: :KEK:
(I'm joking :ROFLMAO:)
And you seem to be a close supporter and very chummy with them too.
I guess they must be getting help from some native speaker because I didn't notice anything at all in the text. Either that or they are very, very proficient in English.

Anyway, thank you very much for the reply, amigo. I haven't got to Rose's part yet, so when I play it I will pay attention to the amount of content in it.
It's a shame that this type of games take so long to create due to the huge necessary workload, but I'm not sure if devoting an entire update to just a single girl every time is the best way to go. One girl is just one step away from getting pregnant while others don't even do a handjob for years. I don't know...
I'm glad to read that Holly will be next. It will take a while but honestly, there's no other like her in the game :love:

As for the full-screen flickering, I had already tried the compressed version and it was still there. I'll try you other suggestions later.
In any case, it's not a big deal. The margins on windowed mode are a bit annoying but nothing exaggerated.

Yeah, I figure it was a misunderstanding or a change on plans on the part of the devs.
I don't think so. Even before we found out he was dead her we never saw her husband. I'm pretty sure he was always planned to be dead or missing at least. I really do think the cheating tag is just for Gretta. You're not supposed to include planned tags but uploaders do it all the time. People also miss tag things and sometimes use ntr tag instead of the cheating tag.

Like I said, a misunderstanding about how tags work. We can report it, and have it removed...

As far as I know, he used to work as an English teacher and they both lived in England for some time. And patrons voted for this character-focused approach: until 0.4 they were slowly advancing main and side stories on each update (that's why Holly and Maple have one quest each); from then on, we got Myrtle's whole story on 0.4, Lana's story (and Simonne's first quest) on 0.5, and Rose's on 0.6. Devs are happy with this since they can finish these side stories in one go but it's true that the decision was made more than 2 years ago and fans may have changed their minds since then. I'm not actually a patron so I don't know if there's some movement within the current paying supporters in that regard.

Eh I don't really think it's worth it or that it's a big deal. The game probably will have cheating so I don't really see the point in removing it. The whole rule about not including planned tags is because ideas for those tags occasionally get scrapped or a game gets abandoned before making it that far.
Well, no, the reason for that rule is so that people who want that content, won't find games with those tags, play the game for that kink, and not find anything they wanted to see.
I agree, it will probably be added for Gretta (at least I hope so, more fun rubbing it in his face that way), and in theory someone else, like Simmone, could end up with a fiancee promised them before it's over, and now that I think about it, wasn't Holly engaged to Waldo at one point in her story? Maybe that is what they are counting?

Well, it worked. Apparently, I just had to disable the default Powersave mode. Thank you for the tip, man (y)

Just click on "preferences" after the age verification screen and the choice between windowed and full screen is at the top left corner of the screen

Thank you for trying to help. I found the solution and it had to do with the Powersave mode that comes by default. I disabled it and now everything's fine.

Weekly report 162
Hi, everybody.
I hope you've had a great week. Here's what we have worked on since our last report:

Chestnut:
Chestnut dedicated her week to a very complex background with interactable objects that is twice as wide as our other backgrounds. The extra width is so that we can also use it as a cutscene in a specific event that requires character sprites to transition between locations.

Pistachio:
I wrote a few dialogues from Gomira's second quest that I had put off earlier because I didn't know how best to approach them. It was a lot easier to write them now, and although they still need to be edited, I'm happy with the result. Other major things I did were coding in some of the art Chestnut had completed and playing through Gomira's first quest several times, taking notes of things that I need to improve before the release.
Today I started preparing for Gomira's second quest. I've been making placeholder backgrounds (and adding a few finished ones) and scene images (the blurry ones we use behind character sprites).
I can't wait to finish this quest, too, and release 0.7 for you all to play it and see all the new content.

Next week's plan:
Chestnut plans to finish the work needed on the update's remaining backgrounds and spend the rest of her time on the art of the cutscenes.
During the weekend, I will continue preparing placeholder art and edit the text of the beginning of the quest. Starting on Monday, I plan to begin posing the second and final quest of this release.

That's all, and I hope you have a wonderful weekend.
Cheers

"piques", not "peaks". (y)

A peak is the top of a mountain, the highest point.
To pique is to raise, or arouse.
