two new scenes is all we got this update, which is crazy considering last update added nothing. Two years for two new scenes is disappointing, im done supporting this game not enough content to even bother with.

I've tried like numerous times it failed and I just stopped trying otherwise I would've been the one posting.
Perhaps lead with that argument next time, because now it just sounds like you're making excuses.

But to answer you're original question. Most here already weren't supporting PixDes, because you know pirates. And the few of us that were stopped because, and this is my personal experience, I was seeing more interaction from PixDes here, on a pirate forum, than I was on their Patreon page as a paying member. And now we've gone two years with barely any content updates, and I don't actually don't feel like spending my money on this product, let alone spending my money for a pirate site.

If it gets leaked to F95? Great! If it doesn't? Well it doesn't sound like we're missing much based on Tito 10 's post.

I mean it's the truth and in right sequence no? i didn't even expect the reaction for the first post i posted it casually and then the joke happened i had to explain myself and I know people here won't believe but It's just satisfaction for me to explain.

Enjoy, done supporting this game for now not enough content for what is worth, just going to stick to being a God sub on Eternum only game with an actual release schedule that is worth my money.
That won't ever happen with the vast majority of the developers actively behaving like grifters. More often than not, games/vns just end up abandoned before ever being finished. Very few devs actually invest the time, money or energy into finishing what they start. It's why there are so damn many of them popping up that are just starting at 0.1 version or "remake of a remake". This one will likely drag on for a few years at best before being abandoned eventually.

For the amount of real world time that has passed, I wouldn't say there is as much content as I would have liked. That being said, far more content here than what a lot of the comments would have you believe. Several scenes and changes were added to earlier portions of the game, so I would suggest most everyone start over with a new playthrough.

I remember them saying they wanted to rework some of the early game. Not sure what the devs plans are going forward, but it would be nice to know if they're done inserting scenes earlier into the game or not.

I'm curious what the most "corrupt" path for Lara is when it comes to the street thugs. Is it defeating them and then hiring them as muscle when they come to Lara's apartment, or is it "losing" to them and absorbing their essence as the Dark Voice would have you do.

Other comments / feedback / possible bugs:

It's weird that the tattoos are fast tracked when Lara is killed by the thugs and then revived by the Dark Voice. But otherwise not brought up even if Lara has scheduled a tattoo session previously. Like, that just seems hand waived away as a temporary tattoo, when she has an actual tattoo appointment scheduled.

Lara always seems confused about what her package could be. When it feels like it should be obvious it's the dildo or the BDSM gear she ordered. Unless this is a red Herring for something else. She gets a package on her resistance route too, but seems to know exactly what it is in that case.

The gallery seems to be a save point for the game, as it just... Doesn't end? Keeps going right past the scenes and back into the story. But it's always unskipable.

Not sure what scenes that would be, but after going through the entire image folder using UnRen, to me it looks like roughly ~120 new images, with the alley scene consisting of 66. Which you can technically cut in 2 as you have the exact same renders and animations with a black dude and with a white dude depending on your route. Literally the exact same thing rendered twice. In my opinion, image quality is once again much worse compared to the early game, which is in-line with the previous update.

7 months for this honestly makes me question if it's supposed to be a late April-fools joke or what, but then I remember these guys are working on a different project too so it really is not surprising. What makes this even worse is that now they're doing the old "remaster early game" thing when their supporters have had hardly any new content the past 2 years.

Feel free to let me know if I missed something.

Perhaps I missed an update then, certainly a strong possibility with how the updates have been leaked. I had a whole new scene at the university with a student at the gloryhole after Lara does a lecture and teases him. I'd previously not had the thugs arrive at Lara's apartment. Small one or two line dialogue changes sprinkled throughout. A new dream sequence at the end.

Alley scene and dream sequence. The University thing was part of the previous update.

To put it into perspective; That's roughly 15 images per month without taking into consideration the alley scene being the same thing twice. Maybe 12 images worth of work per month. lol

I think I'm actually done with this project. No loss for the dev financially, so meh...Game had lots of potential.

I mean, I don't quite understand the whole "quitting this game" thing. I don't sit around for hours every day going for an update. I've got about a dozen games that I follow. When an update pops, whenever that is, then great, I'll take whatever it is. If a certain game doesn't update for a couple months, then I do other games or... you know... real life stuff. The only thing quitting does is possibly (not necessarily) deprive my future self of something good. If nothing good ever does come out of it, oh well. I haven't lost anything by keeping an eye out.

I've been checking up on this thread a few times the past 7 months. I don't think anyone is sitting around for hours every day waiting for a new update on this. I personally think it's not worth my time even playing it anymore, so...yeah, I'm out. lol

Best of luck.

They didn't work on it the whole time, there were months they said they had other obligations to take care of, didn't say, but probably IRL work and such.

Also, just so folks know, the game gets a public version, so if you don't want to support it then don't, just get it on Itch.io.
