[Goofygoofygal]

There's news since November 17 on his Discord.

I feel a bit embarrassed to admit this, but unfortunately, we won’t be seeing version 0.4 for quite some time. The reason is that, somehow and at some point, I accidentally deleted my entire game project. I’ve tried various recovery methods, but sadly, nothing worked.Not all is lost, though. I still have a backup of the scripts. However, I’ll have to recreate all the renders and graphics from scratch. Since I’ll be re-rendering everything anyway, I’ll take this opportunity to slightly redesign some of the characters.I’m really sorry for this situation. I don’t want to be another developer who starts a promising game only to abandon it later. I’ll do my best to restore the game to its original state as soon as possible and continue adding new content for version 0.4.

Good luck with the rebuild

Just recently started backing up my development folders. There are thousands of renders, music, fx, plugins, resources... man I'd give up if that happened to my three projects and start something new. Good luck man.

lol that's just bs most avn devs spew when they've lost the spark and don't want to be honest about their lack of progress.

another one bites the dust.

Could be.
I have seen this excuse several times before, not saying that the dev. is lying.
But honestly, if you are a computer wizzard with the skill and knowledge to create the images and compile the game, you should know what the word "Backup" means.
(Not referring to you @papapa69 )

 

[CarolusRex]

Really quiet around this game. Dev. is active on this forum, and was last seen about 1 hour before this is written. But he (or she) does not bother us with any information regarding the progress of the rebuild.
So I assume papapa69 was right. The "I accidentally deleted the files..." is probably just BS.
We will see if @Zbykson prooves me wrong.

Tnx for the info. Not all of us hang out on Discord, so info in the game thread would also be nice to have.

For sure.

Fact, I apologize for such negligence on my part. As mig776 wrote. I restored the game to its previous state and am currently adding new things. I plan to release version 0.4 EARLY ACCESS in the first or early second quarter of this year.

Happy to hear that things are underway.

Thank you for the update as I almost forgot about the game. I didn't know there was controversy though over any changes?

I don't think there was any controversy, he just had computer issues, lost data, and had to recreate his assets and redo a few scenes.

Glad to see you're still kicking around, mate!

Looking forward to seeing more.

I hope the time line still holds.

Cheers!

This game requires a lot of time. Sandbox grind is how I would describe it. The game is still early in its development and there are not a lot of lewd scenes to get to anyway. Lots of clicking, little reward.

I'm sure. I downloaded it from this topic and from GoFile (generally faster dl speed than the other sites). There was no linux library dir, no bash script to run the game and no linux executable at all. I'm using linux for 10 years, 6 of which are with Arch, so I know exactly what to look for and how to fix it, if these files are present. So I had to force rebuild the game by choosing Windows + Linux. The reason for this choice is that for this option it creates a zip file which is faster to read and unpack than the ancient tarball package.

As for Arch - it's subjective. For 6 years with Arch I learned (and keep learning) about Linux 10 times more things than in the 4 years with the fragile Mint and the stupid apt which breaks packages out of thin air and refuses to work until you "fix" the damn packages. Plus, there's no such a thing as "broken packages" on Arch. I've simplified everything so much, that now it's a matter of a few letters in the terminal and things happen on their own literally. Currently I have 278 aliases linked to 197 bash scripts. The most of them are to automate repetitive tasks which I do several times a day.
You wanna discuss Ubuntu? I wouldn't touch that distro with a 100 ft pole ever since Microsoft began leaving traces of them in it and its kernel. There was a reason I started calling Canonical "Micronical" and later other people started calling them the same, after seeing the same reason.

Use a popup blocker. GoFile likes to redirect me like, 5 or 6 times before it actually downloads the correct file.

Updated to v0.3 Early Access

Any chance of getting a 0.3.1 update? Or maybe 0.4 when it comes out (hopefully soon-ish)?
