wtf is that about those "blockbuster" avn developers? Ocean, Pinkcake, Digi.B, they really drop the balls about release schedules and update times.
It seems like there is only Caribdis that does not fall into this kind of nonsense spiral
The "blockbuster" part is the issue I think.

I feel it's a mix of things. These projects are massive and far too ambitious for one person. They're usually using Ren'py and fucking Daz of all things. There's no real time pressure on a AVN dev because of how it's funded. They're their own boss which has upsides but also means they have no one to say maybe that's not worth it or let's do x instead. They're all choice driven which means they inevitably bloat after the early parts and each update grows bigger and bigger. The AVN audience WANTS big expansive, choice driven VNs with multiple women it's why they ever become "blockbusters".

So huge overly ambitious projects. With crap tools. No time pressure. No restraints. Audience desiring go big or go home. The project will expand considerably in workload as it goes on. It's a recipe for long dev times or burn out even presuming no milking shenanigans (and some are absolutely milking on top). I don't really see that situation changing unless AVN's become more constrained or the funding model changes to incentivize quicker updates over bigger ones.

There was an explicit date 24 Dec Christmas. I expected a delay but not a 1/4 of a year delay. Maybe i just had to much faith in digi.b of actually fulfilling what he said himself. If i was just pirated the game i probably would not give to much of fuck. I did cancel my pledge and will wait here for the update

From Digi.B's update of Sept 9, 25 ................ So, I'm estimating a Christmas release this year. I don't like projecting dates. As I've said before, it frustrates people (including myself) when a deadline is missed. So I try not to mention unless I'm sure of the date and I'll be doing my very best to try and make this a Christmas release. ................
So, you will notice the words ""estimating a Christmas release and I don't like projecting dates, along with, So I try not to mention unless I'm sure of the date" That being said, I would like to know where he said, "There was an explicit date 24 Dec Christmas ??."
It appears he stepped out of his comfort zone and estimated a date to try and appease all the asses that were complaining on a daily basis. So while I feel your pain do everyone a favor and STFU. It will be done when it is done.

I'd much rather be talking about how much I like Zelda's character or how human these characters actually are compared... anything except maybe Drifty's characters. Or about how ridiculous it is that some porn games are infinitely better written than movies, tv shows and other video games that have 9 figure budgets. We can't have those discussions though bc all any of us are thinking about is the delays, period, and it fucking sucks.

on another note. I really love this AVN, it is so lifelike with its own character and personalities. Its almost like watching a movie, almost every single "image" is animated, the story is top notch, with humor, drama, sadness and so much more emotions i cant even describe :D
I am not one who gets emotional quickly, but at this AVN I laughed my ass off and also shed some tears, because its so well written and you can empathize with it.

The only thing i find sad are the "crossroads" where you have to decide between some character -not because i want them all (ok maybe that too) but more because of the different story -outcome, experience, possibilities, scenes.

1.for example, the first crossroad between Zoe and Katy -
of course i am going with sweet sweet Katy, not for the scene but because i like her sweetness. and while she also mention something similar about Jules- i would also like the opportunity to have a chat with Zoe to find out that Jules bought the perfume with her and talks very fondly about us. it is heartwarming

2.the next "major crossrad" was the date with Zelda or Katy -
now it was harder for me to decide because i like them both but i am going with Katy, this time for the scene (the happy ending) and her blushing :love: :D - but i would also like to "bond" with Zelda, hear about the fact with the contract and have the possibility to video chat her before - i hatefuck Cassy and then dump her in the next dumpster

3.and then the halloween party...
of course i go with the KinKiss, because who would miss such an opportunity? :D and the scene is just too good also with the reaction from Lexi :D.. buuut this locks you out of a possible Zelda route..

4.and the last major choice was: staying with sweet Artemis and Kindra, or going to "bond" with Naomi. -
of course i am going to stay with Kindra and Artemis, to spend more time with them, to teach Artemis and because the scene was just too sweet, cute, funny, lovely, (and sex :D) and especially bath time :D -
but i would also like to have the "chance" even if it is a small chance.. but the possibility that Naomi can restore the data on the phone is something i really would like to have.. even if digi decide against it and tells the story that she couldnt restore it but its still something important.

most of the "crossroads" are optionally completely negated with the MultiMod/WT mod that adds many "view all scenes" options with proper loop-backs and setting all variables for all paths

I hope this update has good amount of adult content
yeah can't wait to see Artemis her new Weapon kit!
Guns/lasers & swords!
Blowing off people limbs at range,swooping in with her sword to cut off someone's head!
then going back the base, Kindra & MC waiting to test her digestive system with some drugs!
Im talking coke & ecstasy with all the heavy liquor to wash it down!

Are you saying that "adult" content in a AVN can be something other than sexual??????

I'm flabbergasted!

yes you can play with WT mod to see all the scenes, but then you ALWAYS have to play with the mod (and have to wait for the mod to be updated), otherwise you can say goodbye to your saves, because it messes with all the variables -since it is not supposed to be played like that.

i can already hear the people complaining that their saves dont work because of the use of WT mod :D

ok so asking for more adult scenes in an Adult visual novel is now considered not cool.The times we live in are strange
