Not really. I don't think we're talking about a proper 'hiring' here, as in offering a labour contract with fixed wages, health insurance, and so on. If they simply hire a freelancer (which they already do, btw, as they did hire an sketch artist), they'd only need an invoice for those external services so that they can label them as costs in their tax bill. The thing is that they want nothing of the hassle that involving a third party *could* bring to their workflow and creative process, period. Bureocracy is not a factor.
Yeah, I was thinking in terms of setting up an SL and doing all the paperwork. Obviously you're right that they could simply hire a freelance with an invoice, I hadn't thought about that. (y)

If you're lucky, you'll be able to play this game by the end of 2026. The development of this game has been terribly long. From the perspective of the authors (they've made a good income for themselves and are enjoying their family life, and those who pay them seem to be satisfied with everything, which is strange) From the perspective of the players (this is another game that starts off at a good pace and then turns into a milking machine), the developers start making silly excuses and making endless promises))) Everyone is angry, but they're still tolerating it)))

Thanks for the overview, I wish that was possible for every game here...

But like you said, the first time.... Probably they had a few ideas, created those stories parallel, and when one story was finished they published. Probably they already had a few stories mostly finished. They needed to have it to become popular.

Now they are so far, that all story material was already used. And so if a new item comes, they need to fully create the story etc...

Of course 22-24 was really because of problems in life, like most of us have...

And don't forget in the beginning you are always more engage to spend more time into it.

What we miss is the first time they started to think about creating a game like that. Creating those stories.
If you start using this, then it is possible..

Also, legally hiring other people when you're not a company is a bureaucratic hell in Spain, where they live. The amount of paperwork they'd have to do is staggering, and would be a huge time drain to set up.
Paperwork is the same in both cases (freelancer vs limited liability company), which is still bothersome but I mean it's almost exactly the same, or maybe slightly more bothersome if it's your very first employee.

Or you just pay them cash/bitcoin and avoid almost all the hassle.

Not exactly uncommon, especially as IRC the devs live in Spain.

Apparently this update will take even longer than 0.7. And the drawing of sex scenes will be even worse than in 0.7. All this we have seen hundreds of times with other projects. Ultimately, it all comes down to the fact that the game will never be completed.

I also like that when developers (like this time) say they're going to release it in the first quarter, it's never January or February. No, no, no! It's either March 31 or it's going to be released in January 2027! They also said they'd release it in 2025!

BY THE WAY, HAPPY ANNIVERSARY OF 0.7! THE WORST UPDATE WAS A YEAR OLD! WE'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS UPDATE FOR 28 MONTHS!

I lost my save a while back and was reaplaying the game. All I have left to do it Gomira's questline. However, if i open up Gomira's scenes in the crystal ball menu, only the jail scene appears, and then teh game crashes. Same with Gertrudes little menu option. Anyone else experience this? anyone have an idea towards a fix?
