074 - PUBLIC RELEASE!

Sup, bros! First things first: EPISODE 07 public build is here. Go to my twitter for details. Also welcome to the most family friendly place on planet earth: AKABUR's Monday Post!

So... I will continue to spam you with random pics of me drawing because I am a serious and supper professional artist now. No edgy jokes, here. No sir. Only art.

Speaking of art, have you heard the news? EPISODE 07 public build is out! Along with the APK file. Yay! Public build contains considerably less typos and bugs then the patrons-only version I released last week. Thank you everyone for reporting those typos and making the game better ^^

The reception. So, Episode 07 was received well, and I am more or less pleased with how it turned out. There were some rumblings on some forums, but they are always there, no matter what I do it's: "Akabur hit a new low with his latest update didn't he?".

Yes I know, this one was short, yes I know it was basically just one story arc, yes I know there was no new costumes or shows. But like I said I was feeling like crap through out the big portion of it's development cycle so I am just happy that I managed to dish out a decent piece of entertainment none the less ^^ Anyway, thank you for your support guys. :)

Also shout out to MUPLUR (patreon.com/muplur) for creating this episode's cover (completely free of charge) for me. You are a damn hero, my friend. ^^

The work. So, it's been 1 week since Episode 07 was released for the patrons. Throughout this week I was mainly working on the story for Ep.08. To be honest this wasn't a very productive week though... That is the worst thing about creative writing for me... Unlike with drawing when if you spent 8 hours working on a shitty picture - you will still have a shitty picture, when writing it's... Well, it's a bit different. Anyway, I still managed to get some work done, and have BIG hopes for this week :)

Speaking of shitty pictures. I plan to share the original version of that CG of Hermione chilling at the bathroom stall (that didn't make it into the game) next week through a patrons-only post, so feel free to look forward to that :)

To other news. I finished XC2 few days ago. I know very few people care, but I would like to share my final thoughts about the game after 96 hours. 

So, closer to the end of the game I grew to absolutely despise the game's battle system. Honestly it's got to be the worst battle system in an JRPG I ever had a chance to experience. Next is the difficulty settings... Discovering that I can just go into the game options at any time and mess around with some sliders there making enemies super weak was weird, and made the battles even more meaningless. Honestly that sort of difficulty adjustments like that should be hidden behind a cheat-code. And when you activate it should lock you out of a true ending or something.

Time skipping was supper weird to. At any point of the game you can just pause and rotate the clock any way you want and there is no transitions or anything, the time of day just changes instantly. That kind of killed the immersion a bit for me -_-

Big maps. Oh My God! It takes forever to run from one side of the map to another. And no, it's not a good thing. And yes there is fast-travel, but it helps only a little. And the devs obviously knew about this since there is a freaking AUTO-RUN button! So basically we have an auto battle setting and an auto-run button... Fun -_-

The good. Everything else about XC2 I absolutely loved though! The world, the music, the story (for the most part) and the character design! The character design is in particular I found to be absolutely fantastic! Lot of boobs and panty shots and such. Seriously every time I boot up the game it's like an assault of pleasure on my eyes :)  And that's it. I would give that game 9 out of 10 easily ^_^  

I have a long list of Japanese games that I want to play on Switch. Valkyria Chronicles 4 is up next. I am only few hors in, but I absolutely love it so far. And it comes with Japanese audio. Yay! ^_^

And this is it I think. I still have a few message/comments/emails to reply to and then I need to get back to work. Thank you for your support, guys. 

Love you <3

AKAMAN

Thank you. Love you. &lt;3 P.S. Were you able to figure it out? If not drop me an email to akaburfake2@yahoo.com and I will walk you through it :)

AKAMAN

Thank you for your comment man. ^_^

AKAMAN

Love the trailer park boys reference - it’s one of the funniest shows on earth.

Hello Akabur,i played the first Xenoblade and actually,is the GAME OF MY LIFE,i looking foward to play the second one...maybe even the X if someday he came out for the Switch...LOVES FROM BRAZIL MY FAVORITE CREATOR!!!

I can't express enough just how much I love your games, Akabur! Keep up the good work! I'm having some trouble with this update. For some reason, I don't see any new content. I can tell that it has something to do with Hermione as I can go into her event log and see some new events (starting with the "Who Rules" event), but I can't seem to figure out how to trigger it. Can someone please help?

Thanks, dude. I know you're right. And I know I will never be able to please EVERYONE no matter what. Thank you for the words of support ^^

AKAMAN

I'm super happy to hear that you enjoyed it, man ^^ As for the "blond girl", it was fun to have her in the story, so I don't see why not :)

AKAMAN

It's a bait and switch, play it anyway if you like weird blonde chicks.

Lyk

Skipping this one since I'm not into Hermione, however 6 weeks huh? With the state of the NSFW patreons right now that basically puts you into top 10% fastest content creators. I'm just waiting for Ashelyn content. Hopefully even Ashelyn x Lara at some point in the distant future. Guess I'm in the minority by preferring lesbian content, but I'm enjoying the relationships between girls on the ship, even when non sexual.

Hater gonna hate. "Too much time" "Too much money" "Too Less content" Hater never pay games, Hater just open mouth for free. Don't worry mate, you have a great fan base, love your work.

Mirrodin

Man, that episode may have been short but it was EXCELLENT! I had so much laughs. WT2 is on the way. Hope we will see more of Lun.. *raven girl* in the future, she's going beautiful with your art.

HanatakeYurii

Thanks, man. And don't worry Lara X Ashelin storyline is in the plans :)

AKAMAN

&lt;3 lov eit boss man. and EFF the haters. yes it was short, it was also only a month since ep 6. sure as shit beats waiting 6 months for a release :) and the much needed lore for hermoine was worth it.... not to mention more lesbo lara hints FTW!

Hellfire1396

Not in the next episode probably. But yeah, she will have some events dedicated solely to her sooner or later, I can promise you that wholeheartedly :)

AKAMAN

Thanks dude. You have no idea how I am happy to hear that. And don't worry, I never think that my work is perfect or anything, there is a lot of room for improvement of course. But if I managed to provide you a little piece of entertainment it makes me very happy :)

AKAMAN

It was actually interesting to have her in the story. I am all for brining her into the story again when the opportunity presents itself XD

AKAMAN

Can't spoil thing, but I think you'll like next episode very much *wink*.

AKAMAN

umm... when are we gonna get some chibi animated "shows" all i am seeing is quest after quest of over 40 pages of text's when do we get to train the girls? next update better add new chibi animated show scenes. these non stop text quest's are just boring i literally just space bar/shift all through hermoine quest's it boring as hell already seen those quest done better in ur witch trainer game. step it up akabur

Toybirdy

Thanks for the update Mr. Relentless! Any chance of seeing more of L.O.L.A. in a future update?

Kilhean

loved the update, didn't feel overwhelmed with a bunch of money grinding for outfits and stars to play events. I even enjoyed that the fact that Hermoine's new story didn't immediately follow with her getting a new show on star channel. Gave a sense of something to look forward to come.

Twisted Mystery

If you view it like that then he has since the beginning. I mean Genie hoed out Jasmin and Hermione from the beginning

Twisted Mystery

Big true.

Lyk

So are you just making cuck games now? Is that your new thing?

zeph

I did not know that, but I need more Luna in my life now... How big of a chance is there for us seeing her again? :D

"shoutout to mupler" Akabur, the PewDiePie of patreon nsfw games

For real though man when is more content with Ashelin coming, poor girl hasn't gotten much focus for a few updates now.

Thanks, Michael, I'm happy to hear that. As for the bugs, the first one with the auto-text and looping, that's just how that particular bit is build, there is no way to change that without changing a whole lot of other things -_- As for the "H" button it's really odd that is crashes the game for you. Normally it would just hide EVERYTHING leaving you with an empty screen. But maybe it works differently on MAC I don't know, sorry. Just try not to press it anymore I guess -_-

AKAMAN

Thanks. And of course Hermione will have more chances to shine in the future :)

AKAMAN

There you go: https://twitter.com/AKABUR/status/1145663984592400384

Lyk

He addresses pretty much every comment here, I think the problem is that he doesn't visit 4/8chan or forums to listen to people complain there while you might. I know I'm not unbiased but when it comes to community interaction Akabur's probably the most responsive creator out there in the scene.

Lyk

Coming soon* ^_^

AKAMAN

Yes, I completely agree: quality before quantity. The thing is when people say "this update was short" it's actually a good thing. It it ever feels like there is "too much" content it probably that the said content is boring and not very good in general. So, yeah, I completely agree with what you are saying ^^ And to hell with the haters of course :) And don't worry I never forget good ides and story developments worth exploring. If I have no time to explore it right now I most definitely will in the future. And finally thank you for the trust you put in me. I honestly appreciate it. Thanks.

AKAMAN

I love you too, Cameron ^^ And yes, my brain works in mysterious ways. -_- Thank you for your kind feedback and stay tuned for the future updates :)

AKAMAN

if you keep receiving the same feedback every release why don't you address those concerns? i'm guessing it's mostly that people are saying there's not enough CGs each release (which personally i think is valid). people on patreon are not going to tell you that because it's a weird hugbox full of people paying to see your work. of course all that will happen on here is people will tell you how great you are - if you only listen to those people you won't get to hear any criticism (valid or otherwise) and you won't improve. if you aren't interested in improving then of course that's a shame but it doesn't apply as much...

Well if nothing else your dream made you create and account and engage with me directly, which already makes me happy about your mind producing that dream ^^ &gt;&gt;&gt;"THIS IS NOT A POPULARITY POLL NOR DO I PROMISE TO INCLUDE ANYONE YOU MENTION you bastards. Just a fun exercise!" That actually does sound like something I would say ^^ Also I have nothing against people voicing their opinions on the girls they want to see. It may give me ideas, you never know :)

AKAMAN

Why are you so angry, bro? :) Honestly life is way to short to waste it on being angry at some random slav who can't even speak proper English. Let us instead appreciate the fact that there are plenty of games for grown ups out there these days. You can play whatever makes you happy and not be angry anymore ^_^

AKAMAN

I am not even surprised by your comment. Honestly I've been suspecting for a while now that big portion of my supporters and people who do give a damn about my work are actual, non-ironical intellectuals. ^_^ Thank you for your support and the words of wisdom :)

AKAMAN

Is it weired that working on a short Professor Snape No-Homo Dating SIM sounds super appealing to me? ^_^ Also, Love You man. Thank you for support and basically being a part of my life for years now ^^

AKAMAN

First of all huge thank you for making the pledge. Honestly since all my games are free and I try to make as few patrons-only post as possible, seeing you guys still choosing to support me gives me all the emotional support I need (along with the financial support to boot :). So, thank you for that. As for your question about the Monday Posts. Yeah, I need to keep things as vanilla as possible for now. It's not a big deal though, since it won't affect the content of my games. But please, worry not: I am way too old now to change my ways or my crude sense of humor, this is a temporary setback :)

AKAMAN

Hey, I personally would not mind a spin off game like that. I wish someone would actually create and then I could play it :) And maybe one day I will move on onto bigger project, like actually legitimately hire full time programmers and such, but it's safe to say that won't happen any time soon. And until then there will be no Star Channel 34 Tactical RPGs I am afraid :)

AKAMAN

Imagine waiting on this game for almost half a year and hlaf the content you get is a really shitty 5 CG NTR scene, oh how the mighty have fallen.

A beauty to see and to play and I am happy with the final product, especially given your ill health throughout its development process; though I did run into two glitches, one where having auto-skip on after sending April on 'The milkining 2' her text would keep looping, as if you'd pressed her dialogue option over and over, and the second is that when I press H to hide the overlay it would come up with an error saying "image 'Screen blktone' not found". I am on the mac version in that changes anything. Keep up the beautiful work!

... im i missing the android link somewhere ?

Loved the episode, it was great to see hermione again. I am looking forward to seeing more of her in the future

Avery

Great Episode. More please.

ZoorYuvonHeim

I'll give my specific opinion once I play it, but I have a few comments about your post. First, Quality is WAY more important than Quantity, we love your work because of both your sense of humor and your artstyle. That means no matter how small the episode is, we will appreciate whatever we get within your quality standards. Second, quantity is important in the sense that we always want more, but you can't really play it like this, because fan communities are basically insatiable, we will ALWAYS want more when we like the work. So, yeah, it's true, but don't worry too much about it. Third, fuck the haters. You have plenty of people who love your work. They don't matter in the least. Aaand... one question. I haven't played the release yet so take it purely in a hipotetical scenery that came to mind because you said you "wanted to do more". Since the content is very diverse (many girls, many ways to interact and develop, etc...) If when you get to a specific subject, in this case my favorite girl Hermione, and you feel you left a few things out, would you complete it in the near future or forget it and move on to other subjects? I ask this because it gets down to luck, the months you get sick would be bad for people who prefer that specifc content you were working on. Again, I support whatever decision you make, love your work and I'll certainly like this episode a lot! Just wanted to know how your mind works, giving clues of what to expect.

Joe Otl

AKABUR, you an absolute genius, I love you. You have outdone yourself, I honestly didn't think you would ever do any sci-fi related content even though it is in a space ship, HOW DOES YOU BRAIN WORK? Also, AKABUR is amazing but its a shame I can't make Ashlin say it. Just a side point, didn't realise I hadn't played episode 6 yet, but episode 7 will be an absolute blast I'm sure, my Hentai energy will be over 9000, feel free to use that if possible! &lt;3

Alistair Berk Wood

Hey, man! I've been lurking the posts and comment section of your Patreon for a long time and I just created this account because I just had a dream about it (!!??) and it felt so surreal that I had to share it lol I dreamt that you hosted some kind of... contest? In my dream I felt like it was a contest but really there was no prize or anything. Maybe just a small fun thing to do on one of your Monday posts. In the dream, you said something like: "If you had a SC34 ship with tons of girls in cryopods, what would your roster of girls be and in which order would you unlock them? THIS IS NOT A POPULARITY POLL NOR DO I PROMISE TO INCLUDE ANYONE YOU MENTION you bastards. Just a fun exercise!". So we all started saying which girls we would have and the order. It was super fun in the dream and when I woke up I started to actually think which I'd choose hahah Maybe it'd be cool to see IRL here in the comments. As long as the fans understand it's likely that 95% of the girls they mention won't ever make it to the official roster (like, mine would have some girls from my interests, like League of Legends, Ace Attorney and Critical Role, which I know have no chance yo appear in the actual game and rightly so). But your fans are pretty level-headed compared to other ones, so I think they'd be chill. So... yeah, just an idea and in any case a fun dream I had and wanted to share.

Are you sure that's bug? Check the top button. If it says "Outfits: Custom" change it to "Outfits: story".

Нашол баг в журнале событий При повторном запуске события (венгардиум леви-оса) все девушки остаются одеты а Жасмин ещё и чистая. ☹️

We often forget that the energy within affects the energy we put out. There will always be the malcontent among our brothers and sisters, but we remain unified by the fun and mirth gained from the experience that is the work presented. In the end, all that matters is that you are satisfied with your work, and that you feel content with the reaction said work brings. Not all of us are wired to use negative frustrations into motivation, but we understand that, in the end, the story isn't over yet. Channel the good, examine the bad, and see if it really is bad. Then it is easy to make a choice or correct an error. Patience and understanding is all we need, some of us perverts MORE THAN OTHERS!!! You know who you are... I'm watchin you e_e -&lt;

Jonathan W Bain

I want a dating sim with Professor Snape as an April Fool's joke :D [Totally family friendly, of course :3 ] Glad t oread another Monday post, keep it up and take care, BroWaifu !

Rwede

There's no point in losing your head over such tiny details like negative comments from a group of virgins, I personally unintentionally stumbled upon your work and started dwelling deeper and deeper, which I really liked and to me, aside from great hand-drawn art, I love the humour in those games! That small donation is the result of your work as I didn't see a better way of appreciating it and as you can see it's not just me but many more people! Keep it up genie, I mean the great Akabur! Ps. What happened to the original Monday posts where you wrote what you liked and how you liked, I miss them so much, this family friendly content is kinda bullshit, especially because you're making nothing else but adult games, if possible return back to those posts, if not then I'll have to live with it somehow

I had no complaints about it having a solid arc, especially since it almost all took place off the ship where you were away from the rest of the crew anyways. And I won't lie, Snape going loopy for a bit was hilarious! Short doesn't bother me as long as it's complete, and it's quality work. Although one of my friends has asked if there's ever going to be a spin off game where you repair the ship and get into hexmap combat or something. I kiiiiinda don't think so was my response, but he asked me to ask anyways. I think he just needs to get into retro gaming, the poor guy's deprived lol!

Trevor Bond

Yeah, I hear you about the NTR thing. I try to get away from that. Let's hope it will feel less like that when Genie will finally start nailing the crew... All in all I appreciate you enjoying the game despite anything. And your critique is valid and has been noted.

AKAMAN

Dude, I honestly 100% agree with you. It's just my time is very limited here. But I will try to sneak in some small events like that in the future -_-

AKAMAN

lol, THAT was the criticism? I love that you're focusing more on story progression and events rather than costumes and such. I've never cared about those. Games are not about just looking at a picture. Interactive story is the entire point of the medium. Without it, you have no immersion. Without immersion, you might as well not make a game at all. And I really liked the update. If I HAD to criticise something, it's that the game is still pretty NTR-y, which is not my taste. But I understand that it's for others. And that the slow manipulation in Witch Trainer-style isn't there as strongly. But then again, I understand that this isn't really a trainer game. So it's fine. The writing was fun and the art great. Congrats on a very good update, Akabur.

For me one story arc per episode is ok, but it'd be absolutely great if there'd be some short side events, like new episodes of the shows or unlocking abilities of new girls to go dance\webcam.

Глеб

I did. Honestly you are going above and beyond with your work lately. #^_^#

AKAMAN

^^

AKAMAN

AKAMAN

Thanks, Ace :)

AKAMAN

Thanks, dude T_T Honestly that's all I am trying to do: provide a bit of entertainment. ^^

AKAMAN

Thank you very much for mentioning me T_T I hope you have notice the quote in the cover image ;) (above Hermione screen)

MUPLUR

Great to hear that you decided to give this one another chance. I think it worth it despite the flaws. And this was my first Xenoblade Game so I have nothing to compare it too :) Thank you for your kind feedback by the way :)

AKAMAN

Your new family friendly vibe is refreshing honnestly. I like to see your sketchs, and it feels cool (i don't know how to express it :p ). On another note, i started playing XBC2 when it came out, but left it after 3 hours, cause the MC has the charisma of an oyster, compared to Shulk from the 1st on, and because of you i started replaying it, the game is good indeed. Thx for your work :)

I loved that episode, and it really cheered me up as I told you, you are my personal hero, keep up the good work, no matter what the hater said, we, your true fans, will allways be here for you and happy with your work :)

Dorago

MMMM, is bad is just an arc? I mean, i am all in for an arc every month or so, as you feel more comfortable, its an awesome release and anm awesome review, many thanks (also bof fan of VC)

Ace

Btw love ya Akabur

YESSSS
