you cant be talking about the manchild mc then. I agree about all the other characters for sure just not the mc. Sadly most vn's have the same stereotypical badly written main characters. This game doesn't suffer because of the mc. The game thrives because of how well written the characters are written and it is only because of how much work he put into those characters that the game doesn't train wreck into a mess. Every vn centers around the MC, if the main protagonist is badly written, then it makes it far too hard to look past him or her. Most MC's are only added to the vn during late development because its easier to work him or her into the story, while everything is in place.
I know quite a few devs who do this. they know what he will and will not do, but he isnt fleshed out until later in the development phase. Also most MC's are completely one dimensional in that there is nothing to them , they behave like a child in a man's body or appear to be mentally challenged..only because some dev's couldn't care less about the mc. Stop and read how the mc's responds and talks in this vn, the guy is completely shallow, behaves like a child, speaks like he suffers from mental retardation. Says things that don't fit with the way he says things. Especially in chapter 8 in particular, it was almost like the mc was switched with someone else, because the manner and style he spoke in where completely inconsistent with how he has consistently spoken in previous chapters. There should have been more choices for the MC to make when and during the sister and father scenes. We where basically forced into making choices that in the end where no choices at all just the illusion we had. Instead of doing that, its better not to give choices at all if the outcome is the same regardless.
Overall it does NOT make it a bad game at all, quite the opposite in fact, when I play games like this, I like to be immersed, the game sucks me into it's story, which it did and I enjoyed it.
Even for one person to be doing this vn, it's been quite some time since the last update. I know there are people out there that could help him if he wanted it, but I suspect he wants to do it all himself which is fine.
Those that attack others regarding how long the last update has taken. You do realize eventually even his most ardent supporters on patreon or wherever will stop that support if there is nothing and you can't blame them either. I don't know if the dev has suspended his patrons from having to pay him while there are been absolutely nothing for so long.
The only reason I post here, is because I care about the development and continuation of this game, but I have seen enough games get to a certain point that the dev for whatever his or her reason has no choice but to quit development. All this mental illness excuses many devs use is just a copy and paste impasse, I don't buy all of it, sure there might be an odd one or two here and there, but I wasn't born yesterday to be fobbed off with excuses when i see them, and this is a growing problem with many adult vn devs, but they still expect their patrons to give them money for nothing under the guise I am still working on the project and all they get is a handful of renders or very tiny updates, just so their work doesn't get the abandonded tag and they loose their patrons. I am NOT saying this happening here at all, I am just saying this bs is happening on most adult vn's but they still want to scam their patrons into subbing them by them giving their subs excuses.
One man or not, real issues or not, It has been a very long time since the last update, ep8. There are plenty of adult vn's out there done by just 1 person, take wartribe, which is a lot more involved than this game. It is written, rendered and animated by just 1 person and he gives plenty of decent sized updates every couple months, he doesn't work on it full time, he still has to go to work and do real life stuff. So yeah I am getting very suspicious regardless what he has written on patreon, anyone would do the same thing so as to avoid getting the abandoned tag, and then loss of money from patrons.
People need to see an sizeable update soon, because I think this game will get the abandoned tag before too long.
