Thanks for the awesome reply! I almost wish I didn't hop on 15 minutes after arcadian's so I could appreciate this one lmao.
I guess the difference really is studio size, when theres more variables and perspectives better to sort those out before sending out test products.

Damn, Gamedev rough.

I should really give slack to the other games I don't see as quite the same quality on this site :/ not that I attack anyone but I must underestimate the work put in a lot.

If you want some extra time for yourself or work I wouldn't mind helping out with some mundane tasks if you have a position anywhere, i'm used to moderating chatrooms and forum discussions but regardless I digress &  thanks for all the hard work!
I would also like to ask if you have anywhere you'd recommend for someone to start in this niche industry of a niche industry as you really seem to have it all together but I don't wanna take advantage of how attentive you are to your comments so no pressure or anything.Cheers!

The chinese are truly patriotic! Even their frogs are red!

Hope your doing well and enjoying your work.

Out of curiosity do you have a favorite character? Regardless of if it's favorite to work on, proudest of their story etc, I wanna know more about how you see your game.

My only complaint in this games production is that you don't have a full studio at your disposal.

Enjoy your (I hope) less tumultuous schedule for .7

Would the overall speed of the finished product come out sooner without weekly releases and by how much would you think?

Ultimately a pointless question as food, water and home is a daily necessity paid monthly but I do wanna know if and how much the weekly release system delays the final product regardless of how unviable a non-tested full release is.

I don't think I got this, definetly didn't know this was a thing, how do you get it? Is it just a chance thing with a Hana event of smn?

I might play this but i'm only gonna keep playing if deku has a believable fall.

Where/how do u get your models?

also maybe consider making the first game free since you have so many parts. like life is strange did(After I bought the 1st episode I wanna die)

after im done with rance, IM GOING IN.

still on game 1 and not stellar bout these visuals but same for rance 01 and it gets better and im excited for a story that propelled you to the top of this site.
Hope to be a fan soon, should I judge if I should buy the bundle based on this game or is there a better jumping on point?

You get alot of well deserved praise, The setting is stellar, costumes/outfits are always hot and feel well chosen, Models while imperfect(I'll get into that) all do their job and look 10/10 in the perfect angles and still great in the less flattering ones.

The sex scenes(Especially the last one in 0.6) are incredibly well done writing wise and the animation is extremely serviceable for an indie CGI work.

The characters all do their job, either being likable, despisable, scary as shit or enigmatic, the mysteries never have me eye rolling, even when I knew reveals ahead of time, Using foreshadowing strong enough for us to understand but with context that explains why the MC would take awhile to figure them out was very smart and well done.

The girls are all super so lovable, and Alex has risen to the top of my list as of 0.6 & i'm sure is the case for others, beating out Annie & Luna in my case.

You only keep getting better, Now that i've used alot of your time with praise, I wanna shoot some slight critiques in hopes of making the game a bit better.

You got the poses & angles down, The animation will never be perfect so i'll skip that, but the models don't need that texture on their elbows and knees, it's in contrast to the rest of their young skin and the shape is already good, I doubt you need it, i'd feel it'd be better with it gone and just detracts from their visual appeal.

Further more the situations are all great, and im not saying this because I want the MC to be more escapist, he's great as is, likable & somewhat independent as a story telling tool but still relatable to be escapist, very well done, but I feel the dialogue can sometimes have strange prose, Maybe read some books? I don't mean that sarcastically either, like I said, situations, pacing etc are all great but once in awhile the word choice is strange/feels chosen out of a random box then things these people say.
Typically when people speak, they use the same preset sayings/words, it's consistent with "them" what they say. I'd try writing down their favorite sayings, how they moan specifically during X, favorite swears for anger vs banter etc. It'll just add to the already great foundation you have for them.

In my case instead of choosing from "shit,Fuck,Cunt,Dick etc." each person will have one they gravitate towards, when mad enough, some might haphazardly combine them together in anger as if throwing paint at a wall with their hands, some might prefer the word Cock vs Dick and visa versa, some might even call it penis(annie at first probably would.) but it typically doesn't wishwash once they've been in a situation enough, they choose what they say or how they like to convey something and consistently do so through those means unless given a reason not to, we're creatures of repitition but also adaption is what im saying, in dialogue it's the most noticable.

You don't do a bad job in that regard, just not always good either, and I think you could rise up cause I feel the love, You nail this in the comedy most of the time actually if not more so with their actions then dialogue so I have confidence.

Otherwise I feel improvement in everything, including the environments and outfits which were already massive draws for me, so I have no doubt you'll just keep getting better and using better resources/individuals.

Lastly, the girl's modesty doesn't seem too realistic at first, as it goes it would make sense they wanna attract the MC and the outfits are issued to the ones who would look best/be most likely to accept but it'd be hotter if they gradually wore skimpier clothes, Like how in the beggining og 0.6 Dalia chose the outfit she did however it would be awesome if the girls that're more attracted to you/outgoing & slutty chose sexier outfits, seing annie slowly become more revealing would be alot of fun, but that'd be something for a 3rd property if you ever wanted to add that as all the girls are already 4 <3 or more I believe and going back and doing over already great outfits just cause they don't perfectly fit the context or redoing the dialogue sounds like a nightmare. 

Sorry for taking up so much space here, love the game, you're doing great and I look forward to every update and every game you will make.

Take care & good luck.

Also, I see that the finesse/skill getting better in facial expressions, whether that's you or outside help its appreciated and will never be appropriately appreciated as it's so discreet but never stop, I think you understand as well if not better then me how important it is.

My dad died driving a limo into a moose this summer, last thing I said was a cruel text saying I never wanted to talk to him again months ago.

currently im destroyed but the emotional connections with your characters is helping me through it, as unhealthy as that might be, so thanks.

if theres anything I/we can do to repay you I'd like to try, but more so I wish you well and hope we can both move on to be better then we and they were/are as a happy ending and to make them proud regardless of what they "deserve".

good luck.

Are you gonna post this on steam at any point now that they let sexual stuff on? You'd be pretty big I bet, more so if u post a completed version first.

Thanks for the response!
Glad I was wrong about losing neko sisters, but hey there's a pitch cause I love Kanna and Bunny god but I don't remember any Nekos + you'd nail it, I have a feeling that too might be addressed in the fey.

I liked the animation of SR and now i'm definitely gonna pick that game up somewhere asap, so thanks for the accidental rec. Also looking forward to if you do tackle a more complex gameplay loop at any point cause I think you'd do it great from what i've seen (Obv another game cuz CK is 95% VN)

Your wisdom and openess impresses me as far as ard is concerned but I do still miss Hana's ponytail and no amount of bussy will change that.

And this makes sense, I wish we'd drop the prejudice on that and just agree to protect the kids and do whatever in our own homes but as you aren't god (yet) I getchu. I'll very much look forward to what you have planned in the fey in the meantime as they're always my favorites anyway.

I do wanna make chloe fully love me either by breaking her the rest of the way or going the gwen route but idk what you have planned, also if we're using wardrobe for more of costumes and not just og vs war I do wanna stick them in christmas dresses, 2 piece & one pieces with those fluffy af edges and short foldless skirts this holiday season, but bet that's alot of modeling for that kinda idea.

Looking forward to it boss, i'll send some cash your and eternum's way when I have some to send.

Little sad to see the previous idea scrapped, I agree it's more in line with the previous acts what you have now, but the last idea had alot more intrigue for me and i'll miss some of the girls (i.e the sisters I think had animal ears, though the idol duo makes up for it) granted I agree with your prioties and look forward to the visual and story content you'll be trying to make up for it with.

This being said i'd really adore if your revisited that concept as it's own full property in the future as a spin off or completely new setting as I think it has potential and more substance as a gameplay system in inofitself.

I don't have any recommendations at current time other then I want to put hana back in her ponytail asap or I will stick my dick in ard with my frustration boner and you WILL be held accountable.

Also, theres only been like 2 tiny loli's(Org daughter & tiny car wash girl), you're nailing everything from Petite teen to milf but i'd like more happy meals to go with my quarter pounder and big macs, I believe in you boss.
