Based on a previous statement (in which I don't hundred percent remember correctly), Runey said that he releases the public release twelve or fourteen days after the pre-release. Based on when the pre-released happened that should mean today, the 26th. Not next week.

Secondly, if that sort of edits for Ashley were to happen -- and this is a big if -- it wouldn't happen in the upcoming release. There's no reason to delay it for something like that, it would, instead, come in a later release down the road. Hypothetically, of course.

In response to your first question that would be the meaning behind those words as far as I can infer. So, yes, a new save would be starting a new game (or starting from the beginning, in other words).

For the latter part, I believe, from what has been mentioned about it thus far, that would largely be the intended use. Growing various crops to sell for an early income.

In times like this, a handy screenshot helps:

Congratulations on the pre-release, Runey. I believe many of us will be looking forward to the public release.

I am not saying things are perfect, nor anything remotely like that. Merely that the information is out there; it's upfront. I was quite clear in my wordage about that.

I'll address the presented information from the game further, then: the second screen showcases "quick tips," this is largely a brief summary and not all that clear; after the introduction there is a more proper guide that explains in more details, it's fairly nice and explains the information well enough (at least for me to understand things clearly, I cannot speak toward new players nor those with difficulties toward whichever language they are playing in). The latter tutorial can only be viewed once, which is rather problematic and should very much be changed to include an option to view at any point or perhaps when not within a scene.

I loaded the game up and checked not too long ago. I didn't check very far, but the second screen that pops up when starting a new save clearly explains how to progress the main story. So it is quite forthright.

It's something I've noticed as well, and I believe forestmarko is referring more to the fact that it only really shows the same set of games now. Which, in turn, would suggest that it is no longer functioning properly.

Exploring the town is, largely, additional content from my understanding. Simply staying within the hotel and interacting with the girls, doing their events, is what leads to progressing through the story and seeing the majority of events within the screenshots on the page.

Edit: I do think it would be good, however, if the game were a bit more forthright with that information if it wasn't already.

Slight correction to that: there is a v0.18 that is available. It is, however, v0.18 Beta Build 3 (and the prior versions). Which means numbers person was likely using one of the beta builds.

Do you have any evidence to back up this statement?

Welcome, welcome. Here are the instructions for downloading on android, found above:

Well that was a rollercoaster of a comment.

As Runey has continued working on the game, gaining a better understanding of scene composition or through a higher efficiency with the tools being used, he's able to produce scenes of greater quality. When he goes back and re-animates or brushes back over a scene, they don't take as much time as it would for a new scene; as he already has the layout, plot, and angles already setup. He just goes through and reworks them to bring them closer to the quality presented in the rest of the work. I believe this to be a good thing, as not only does it round out the experience for us the players, but it also allows the game to come closer to Runey's final vision of the game.

TL;DR - Reworking a scene takes a fraction of the time of a new scene, and reworking brings the quality of old scenes to match the new and ultimately rounding out player experience.

That's been offered with the past many updates (I can't speak toward when it started, however). I have a pretty poor web connection, so having to download the full game is daunting at times. So I'm quite glad to see an alternative. The last update (v0.16 to v0.17 and patches) looked a little something like this: "HH v0.16+ > v0.17.2 PC Patch (REQUIRES v0.16+)" Minus the quotation marks, of course.

From my observations, these are located at the bottom of the download options with each update. It'll only be for the previous version to the newest version, so patches (from what I've seen) would require a full game download -- someone can correct me if I'm wrong. And, yes, it does contain instructions on how to install the update.

Here are the instructions that can be found on this page, sent for ease of access (Runey, might help to just send a screenshot... makes it easier):

Hallo, here are the instructions that can be found on this page of which Professor Runey mentioned (grabbed so you don't need to look).

Hello. Here are the official instructions for Android.

'Kay, suit yourself.

Hmm? I'm going to require further details toward your intentions and meaning. Namely because that can be read in several ways, and I can't ascertain the intended effect you wish to present from the options.

Here are the official instructions.

Have you tried following these steps?

He deleted part of a correspondence I'd been in as well. I think it's because the message was his admittance of creating alts? Seems like the most likely reason to me.

Edit: Added proof for those that care about that.

Wow. Impressive. Another - or perhaps "another?" - individual with an account made just before commenting. Your cadence and approach are similar to the other account that shares a close handle. Are you the same, are you different? I couldn't say, if only because I have no means of confirming.

Your trend of comments tend to say the same thing, at least in regards to Runey, that being that he isn't working because he's banning people on Discord (and here?). However, that's just silly. Discord servers operate with moderators.

Do you have any proof of the game being a scam?

Nice to see you haven't changed. Is it really too much for you to be cordial, or at the very least civil? Anyways, it's impressive that you can send that amount of text and be so vapid; over half of what was sent in that reply holds nothing to do with what's being discussed. And the rest? Well...

Fine, let's talk about this data and conclusion of yours. Yes, you've provided more data than I; but I haven't had any relevant need to do so, as it isn't necessary for my point in this discussion. I'll restate my point once more, in clear wording: life happens, have patience. Your data has been good; listing out dates for the release cycles of other updates. The information provided hasn't been the issue against your point. The problem thus lies in your conclusion and examination of said data: it's superficial and based on assumption. Why? The situation surrounding this update is unprecedented for the game, which means the normal cycle is currently broken. But that is by no means an excuse to come to this wildly outrageous assumption that the game is canceled (secretly canceled?).

I don't have any reason beyond curiosity to hold this discussion with you, I have even less reason to stand the flagrantly insulting attitude of someone unwilling to hold a reasonable conversation; however, I didn't want to step on a Lego with my fossil of a body. I'll be looking forward to your response, however, you've burned through much of my remaining goodwill, so you won't be entitled to a response unless something interesting comes up. I hope you have a lovely evening.

If you get banned, then it isn't because of you "spotlighting his abandonware," dood -- and, yes, I've read your other messages. If you get banned it's because you're being an ass. I fail to see how you benefit from blatantly insulting me, but whatever. You do you, kid.

I fail to see how your logic in this works, and frankly I don't wish to know. I also won't try to stand against your challenge, it's nonsensical. I've spent no money on this project and I know little about Runey, I've simply read the dev logs a couple months ago and then the comments today.

I don't feel like rehashing information with you, as that's all it'll come down to. You're not willing to engage in civil discussion, so I see no reason to hold a continued conversation beyond this point when you're so clearly being vile -- for no reason, might I add. I'll even apologize for calling you a kid, whether you are or aren't, I couldn't say; but you come off as immature, entitled, and bratty, so if the impression you give off isn't correct. I'm sorry.

It seems a little strange to me to conclude that the game is abandoned or cancelled simply because it's been a little while since the last update. Life happens, and has clearly been happening to Runey. We just need to be patient and we'll see the next release eventually.

There's a small team working on this, pretty much just Runey, which will increase the amount of time required per update. Real world complications can increase this even more (just check out the dev logs for more information there). Also, Runey has also been active in the comment section recently, which makes the assumption of game abandonment even more baffling.

My condolences for your loss. I can't speak for all of us, but take your time to get things back in order; a proper headspace and mental health is far more important than a fictional story, no matter how great it may be. I wish you the best in these trying times.

I'll have to check it out. Thanks! :D

MGQ?
