The rework is already done. It was just to update the intro to match the current style and standard. There's nothing more to be said about this.
idk what dev meant by DLC? why not just continue the story like normal? what's the purpose of "DLC"?
yeah the whole usage of 'dlc' in a subscription based game is odd, though he's not the first one to use that. DLC is normally seen as "bonus" content you purchase to add on to an existing game you purchased in full prior.
agree, it's confusing language and unnecessary imo. regardless the "bonus" content gonna be free for me so dev can do all the DLC they want
From my understanding, we're continuing where we left of in Chapter 5, but from a different perspective (Anya). It's not Chapter 6 yet, more as a side-story. Considering there's going to be a decent amount of content in these, I guess he used the best term available to him. I wouldn't look into it that much tbh.
Anything to not work on progressing the story. That's what it is and calling it anything else is just lying about it.
I can definitely understand your point of view on this. Before making my game, I used to be quite skeptical and I still am of a lot of developers. I've know Circle for a good while now and he has no intention on doing the things you just mentioned. The extra stories are just a way for him to close down Chapter 5 properly. There will be progression of the story and... things will happen, with both the MC and side-characters. So the characters will develop further and our blue balls will be gone.
why don't you guys ever do this shit AFTER the teasing has paid off? why is it always RIGHT BEFORE we get to the good stuff?
From what I understand two sex scenes are coming next, seems to be what has been said. Like two updates of pure sex scenes so I think the blue balls (which I felt a bit too after last update, despite enjoying it a lot) will be gone. Personally don't really care about NTS/NTR/whatever the hell, I just play good games I don't care about genres at all but I imagine there will be lots of that to come later. But for me if a scene is hot it's hot, and if the story makes sense to how they go there those two things is all I need, don't super care who's fucking who if it makes sense and it's hot. Variety is the spice of life after all.
yup and their patreon supporters all circlejerk each other and think the Dev can do no wrong
to be clear i also despise the NTS/NTR rule enforcement brigade. i just think it's frustrating these games' entire narrative hinges on a girlfriend batting her eyelashes and going "would you... like it... if i fucked another guy???" and the boyfriend gulps and says "yes" and then it never fucking happens lol
Well I'm still early in my development. I've started mid November and have released 4 updates since then, each being way bigger than the last. By doing so, I haven't had the time to implement features that people want.
I give you the benefit of the doubt. I know you guys aren't like the blurring the walls developer.
Yeah that's why I said it's fine to do it alongside the normal updates, not make it the only thing in an update.
It's just to keep people on the hook and keep them being patrons for longer. They try to dress it up in nice language and explain everything in a sensible manner, as basic PR...but there's no point to deluding ourselves into thinking the devs do this out of the kindness of their hearts or to help you wank or something. Every subsequent update that they can release where the tease is almost about to pay off means they can release another update afterwards that can get some extra people to subscribe in the hopes that "this is really it this time". Once you pop the cork there, a lot of people will be satisfied with whatever climax (as in culmination, but also as in...y'know) the game gives them and might not be as excited for new updates anymore.
