Episode Summary (Steam message)


Hey!

It's been a few days since the update, so it's time for a few words from me and a little summary. As always, the feedback has been mixed—some people say things like "small update," "we waited so long for this," "where are the sex scenes?" or "this update brought nothing new."

Over the years of working on Visual Novels, I’ve learned one thing—people will always complain, and it will never be enough, no matter how much time, effort, and energy go into making them happy. Even a small update takes weeks or months of constant work—writing scripts, rendering, animating, coding, fixing issues—it’s not a quick process. And hiring artists who can maintain the required quality isn't an option, which is why it takes time. Every month, we put more hours into this project than we actually have, often at the cost of our personal lives.

...but I’m getting carried away—that’s not what this post was supposed to be about. Most of you expect an update to be packed with sex scenes, which makes sense since this is an adult game. But many people don’t understand the importance of writing, building tension, structuring the story, and weaving different plotlines together. SoD has a lot of fans (and just as many haters) precisely because we take this approach. Everything is planned—we know where we’re going and won’t change direction just because someone expected something different from this update.

As I’ve said many times, Early Access is about supporting the developer. If you’re going to complain after every update that it was smaller than expected, maybe just wait a year and a half for the full release—then you can judge whether it was worth it or just trash.

I tend to focus too much on negative comments, which is one of my flaws, but I also want to thank those who leave positive feedback. The people who understand that even non-animated scenes that aren’t in the replay gallery still matter because they connect to future scenes and upcoming updates.

That’s all I wanted to say—Adult Visual Novel means both "Adult" and "Novel." If you're only here for one part, you’re going to be disappointed.

Anyway, have a great day!
At some point the dev/s will hopefully learn how to ignore the noise.

It's weird. The last time I played, and it was not far from the current version's end, Ivy had some tender time with Riley, with no man around. I suppose it depends on other choices.

Not a big fan of the D&D extra stuff,but it is what it is,,
I'm guessing some of the male characters won't get any action unless you purchase some bonus pics or watch TV,otherwise it seems they ll never be canon

Am i missing something with this pole dancing minigame? now matter what speed i enter the prompt it always says wrong. Im assuming it supposed to be a simple "enter the directions as fast as they appear on the screen" right? Im not sure if its a bug, a skill issue, or faulty device.

This game is only available for PC/laptop - if you try to play it on phone/tablet or something else pole dance wont happen since its made for clicking not tapping your screen.

Also anyone who uses modified game or game files should bring the issues those modification cause to the people who provided those modified files (INCLUDING the pole-dance bypass) and not the official thread of the game.

Use the Game Mods section of the forum.

I'll start reporting all mod discussion here from today - so modders take your mods where they belong and only post 1 single updated version after each update if you update your mods in here.

If you're playing on PC there is no issue with the pole-dance (I tested the latest update enough times personally - even tied my hand to my dick so I did it using only 1 hand :KEK: to see if handicapped people can do it too - they can.)
