Spoiler: Me, bitching about the new so-called-update

You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.

The main issue I noticed with this update was that the dev busted their load too early with the intimacy on previous chapters.
What I mean is that the conversations that happen within this chapter don't feel like they progress the relationships in any meaningful way and essentially just serve to pad out game time and word count, they are a sidegrade at best.

It would've been a different story if we had more of this on previous chapters to build up each relationship before they started to get steamy, but alas that ship has long since sailed.

As it stands I think Eve so far is the better written LI out of all the heroines just because the MC still has to put in some work to get to know her and he still has a lot of work to do.

Episode 5 :~3600+ 1980 = 5580 frames
Episode 6: 1800 + 5400 = 7200 frames.

when update is not satisfying, the only thing you can do is counting frames and try to invent arguments why it's actually good

for the life of me i can't find the hidden ch6 image anyone got an idea?

Now is my turn to speak about the new chapter...

I understand why people say is a bad update, a little short and not many advances in the story and with the girls. Even with that things i can´t say i didn´t liked it, maybe is because i´m busy with other games/films and stuff and i don´t bother too much in to the wait but the quality of renders is so good that i have enjoyed it.

My most concerned thing is how Eve is going to find out if the Mc has waited to her or if he has cummed before their appointmen... After all one or two days should be enought for a good explosion right? Except if she wants a explosion of a complete week or something . I´m going to need probably to send Mia away when she asks if she can sleep with the Mc but for now i´m following the lie option.

The answer to this problem is simple my friend... URM

[estteno]

I believe you should be able to find it when you go with Sophie for a walk around the field (+ afterwards there's an extra arrow that leads to her again..)

Thanks, it was right here extremely hidden

 

[Rizzler97]

You know you’re doing something wrong when your own patrons who pay money start complaining LMAO. Do better Devs

 

[Kronicza7x]

Short updates aren't the problem, it's just the timing. They should probably focus on two or three characters at a time; that way, you won't have to wait an entire year to release. People will complain. This update should have cut around the outdoor activity; that way you can shorten up the time and the realeases like the first couple of chapters. It's best to do 4-5 months of a short update than to release once a year.

Where i said that update is good or defend it? Maybe you can't read and have dyslexia? Because I noted in the next post that this is a very weak update.
Next time try to read the whole discussion, before posting something.

Short updates aren't the problem

They were when devs were releasing short updates every 2 months, so much people didn't stop complain until make dev changes their development aproach to bigger updates with longer developments and thanks to that we are in this situation right now.

The graphics have improved and there are more renders. I was looking at Mia's detail recently during those animations.

 

[Geralt From Rivia]

That's incorrect - not all 15 animations are in 60 FPS. ch6_02, _13 and _14 are in 30 FPS.

66 x 60 + 22 x 30 = 4080 + 660 = 4740 frames of animation in 0.6.

1800 + 4740 = 6540 frames in 0.6, which is only a 17% increase vs 0.5.

Personally, I don't see a reason of creating source animations in 60 FPS nowadays when tools like

exist.
With currently available interpolation models you can easily and (almost) flawlessly double or triple the framerate in a fraction of the time.

Thanks for the fix, added corrections to the post.
As for me 60 fps doesn't need in AVNs in general, it's not some shooter game when you need higher fps for more comfortable gameplay.

It feels like the author is trying something new, but not doing it well.

 

[Falconer1523]

I can safely say I liked the update, but it is simply to little actual story progress for such a long wait. I'd expect us to be a week into summer camp by now, not a day and a half.

 

[Cris Cris]

The option “The forest” cannot be clicked？？.......Am I miss something？Please tell.......

 

[katabasi]

i guess ill skip updates for this game too

You need to be on sophie path to be able to go with her.

 

[LizaS]

Very much agree with your post.
But we are only at the 2nd day...maybe around 30-36h since they arrived

Then it's worse than I thought.

 

[link18]

let's get this shit strait The game was and still is good the new update not so much (it kinda feels like a filler but hey I'm still watching One Piece so why complain ), from every misstep, we learn, I hope Northpx will take the feedback and release a better update that moves the story forward next time

 

[slick97]

I've been keeping an eye on this game since v0.2 since the renders and sound design are some of the best. However, I noticed that the devs seem to be in that Dunning Kruger zone in terms of writing competency.

For example: in v0.5 we learn a bit more about Sophie and Bree's backstory which partially explains why they take an immediate interest in us. This honestly is an effective method for fast tracking romances when you don't want to resort to the proper build-up, but that shouldn't result in a day 1 "I'm want to fuck you" mentality.

Kate is another example in that she has a well written backstory regarding her desire to be a parent and - what I assume to be - is an inability to conceive (or something similar). This provides plausible reasoning into why she became an alcoholic and also has an immediate interest in us. But, just like Sophie and Bree, this shouldn't translate to a day 1 "I want to fuck you".

The point I'm trying to make is that the devs seem averse to letting mundane relationship building happen off screen while focusing on major events. This also seems to be the cause of the constant detours with Miller, which try to make use of the time progression in what the devs believe is a meaningful way. However, it just breaks up the pacing and removes any agency we might have as the player (a huge pet peeve of mine).


With the long winded ranting out of the way... I think this game is probably going to sit on the backlog for me for awhile until a few more updates are released.
