Status Update #68

Great to see Eve looking Beautiful in the new header! 💜💜

Plenty of people comment regularly on these feeds. It's not glazing anyone, we're just happy to be getting regular news during the Dev cycle, and are genuinely excited and interested to hear what the Devs have been up to during the week. Some Devs don't say a word throughout the entire dev cycle and then shadow drop a release. Like I've said elsewhere, I'm paying to support the Devs and to read about what progress has been made during the week. You can have whatever opinion you want but we don't all have to be miserable between updates

for real man. i dont understand how people can still happily engage w these dev logs. I mean "outfit testing (Eve mostly) " like for this update or the next? "Worked on edits in 2 main scenes". Doesnt say "FINISHED" editing of 2 scenes or even better "FINISHED EDITING." Like for the whole update.

I want to say one more thing, and i apologize for all this, but its been bottled up for so long and i gotta get it out now, please understand that i really am a fan of the work as i couldnt be bothered to write all this if i didnt give a shit, and i dont honestly believe ur trying to scam us, but i do think you have lost touch w reality a bit. Regarding ur policy of not giving a release date at all or any speculation whatsoever on release times because you failed to meet a time previously and dont want to disappoint anyone again. I think this is part of what allows you to be so comfortable not really getting much done in a given week, since you have no deadline either hard or soft. I think that setting a reasonable goal for length of a development cycle for an update is the right thing to do for both managing expectations, as well as KEEPING THE 2 OF YOU ON TRACK! This is critical, its the only way you would be able to keep my sub going forward, and im sure im not alone in my intent to stop subbing as soon as update comes out. I understand not wanting to make promises you cant keep, but i think it would be a marker for us, and you. to hold urselves accountable to for poorly managed time in dev cycles. We all make mistakes and i think its pretty much the norm for devs to take longer than they say, so im sure there woud be some mis-fires and date changes, but to at least have a goal would be something to encourage ongoing investment. Thanks for ur time if u read all this, looking forward to what really better be the most epic update in VN history in 0.7.

At the beginning of development for .6, you said that you expected it would take 3-4 months, and it took 11 and was woefully short, and featured almost no lewd content. It seems clear to me that you guys need to take all the money you have stacked up over the past 15 months (and counting....) and either hire someone to literally manage you 2 free spirits, ie crack the whip and keep ur asses at ur desks or easels or wherever the F you do ur work for 8 hours a day 5 days a week (maybe even put in a lil OT as ur getting close to release). Or more likely, just hire someone that can do the grunt work for you so you can do the big thinking that you like to do so much of. Im sure you could find someone that would not make the quality of the work go down at all. you gotta delegate sometimes because you have clearly shown ur not able to do this on ur own!!

I urge you to go back and read what you posted after the somewhat less than stellar feedback from your previous update, yes all the way back to August of 2024. You at that time posted something that encouraged me to feel comfortable offering my support, despite being a bit underwhelmed by the most recent chapter, but it seems like you were either completely full of shit, and you 2 are just kicking back and watching the money roll in, or you are just inept when it comes to scheduling and planning how to put together an update. I mean this is .7 right? You got ur new render rig and i havnt really read about any major hiccups in development, with the clear exception of week long accomplishments that list things like "thought a lot about how X will effect Y down the road" or "tested sound effects for a slap". This is not encouraging on our end. It feels like there is absolutely 0 sense of urgency or acknowledgment that this is an absurdly long dev cycle that is just getting longer and longer with each update.

Dan Mussulman

Ive been holding my tongue for as long as i could stand it out of respect for the work you have done in the past. However, i feel like i gotta say something as it just keeps getting loonier and generally disrespectful of your fanbase and this patreon community, but as this was supposed to be the final update before release, you think you can ballpark when that will be now? If ur still unsure, just give ur best guess and then multiply that by 4 and it might just be right.

No pensé que fuera a tardar tanto este juego, después se un año tuve que dejar de pagar,me desuscribi, me gusta el juego pero el dinero no es que me sobre 🥲 no pensé que un update tardará tanto y ni siquiera pensar en el juego al completo. Quien quiera y tenga la paciencia y el dinero que siga, yo no pude . Los personajes que más me gustan son Mia, ms hill, lainey ( la policía 🚔) eve y Sophie 😍 lastima que solo dos personajes tuvieron escenas 🥵 hasta ahora 🥲

Chuzmaster

There will be scenes. We will also ensure that Helen gets some content soon.

Npx

No, but we'll make edits where we think they're necessary.

Npx

there is really a difference between "taking time" and "slack all year"...

Flo

If we dont get all kind of scenes with all girls alfter that time I would be very disapointed

Flo

are yall rewriting the whole update or what? how many animations yall gotta go back to after a year and a half of updates.
