Pledge on extra day in a leap year lol

Darko

Lol. Fair point.

Well, that just means you're going to get charged every month on the 29th^^

Time to pledge on February the 29th.

I am a bit worried for the additional nun character to be out of the blue. For me the plot twist with Lily already felt a bit forced and sometimes I have this slight feeling that certain things are bent in a certain way to fit certain things into the game. Its only slightly but maybe thats something to look out for, or be aware of. Concerning the NTR, I expected that it would be more on the corruption side (as all extra characters sadly are). Gotta be honest, it is a little, little bit of a let down for me but I will try to be open-minded and see what you have got in stock for us ;-) Still personally, I would like to see a little more focus on NTR in the future. Nevertheless - I dont want to sound too negative - its all critics on a very high level and there are many many positives, which is why we are all here (and the list would be too long to write down, also there is no use to name the good stuff, we all know whats good. To get better we need to focus on what might be a problem). So as always, thanks for the great work N_taii!

Hey, as long as it's a game people enjoy, game of the year or not, I'll take it : )

Well, the new barmaid is supposed to take over Lily's shift, since she started working at the magic shop, so it makes sense. As for the new nun, it's slightly more out of the blue, but she works well with Haylen's corruption I think. They definitely don't feel as NTR-ish as the 4 main characters as their realtionship to him haven't been as developed. The barmaid does express interest in Leto, or at least she looks up to him, and the nun is devoted to her religion and another man on the continent. They do fall under the "corruption" category a lot more than the main characters though, but that's to be expected.

Good point. I just commissioned one version with a head cloth for her. She's supposed to be in her late 30's though. not exactly MILF by real life standards, but plenty enough by pron standards^^

N_taii

She doesn't really strike me as especially ... MILF-like? Dunno. More like 30 years old. May be because of her long hair? If she is supposed to be uptight and inexperienced, how about a head cloth nuns are wearing? Of course, she will only wear it for a short while... ^^

Btw I hope the 'support' of both support characters lily and haylen now got doesnt feel too same-ish. Its already a little weird that a new character appears for the same reason at the same time in both their time-/quest lines. Its a bit as if you are bending the storyline to fit in something for a certain purpose. I hope it still feels natural and not forced. So I do hope the two new extra-characters feel different, serve different purposes and have their own reasons and are not both corrupted by the antagonists of their respective side-characters. Also I hope they are not pure corruption subjects, but there is also some NTR finally (almost all of the extra characters have no NTR plots but rather pure corruption routes. And its heNTeRia chronicles after all ;)

Pete

I would love to see more character interactions! Good stuff!!!

Pete

First of all, I wanna mention again that release dates remain pretty loose with HC3, if I think it needs a few more days to get the update ready and polished, I'll take them (4 days late max though). So it might be on the 27th, or a bit later if needs be. Also, I won't delve too deep into what dates to release when based on the calendar, or it'll get too complicated. First release on x day, then x days + 5, then a month later for the public release. That much won't change. As for the February/March release thing, I honestly haven't thought that far^^ I just wanted to implement the new system because it's a new year and I thought I should do it. I'm not sure about Rose, but I wouldn't count on it. I realized the new part of the main quest will need quite a lot of custom sprites, and they might not be ready on time. I also want to focus some more on adding new character interactions around the map + new NPCs on different days. This will probably take a good amount of time.

Heeey! Good Work!! Looking forward for the Update 3 this month and i will continue to support you till the end of the game and more <3

Great stuff all around but i got a few questions. Based on previous release dates, every Update comes out a few days later than the one before that so it's never exacly 1 month, which is prefectly fine and understandable, but then i remembered the PoL in which you said that you're gonna need 10 more days, which would put the release date of this Update to the very last days of January, the 27th to be precise, which would also mean that the 5$ release falls over into February by just 1 day. I guess my question is that if the Update comes out with less than 5 days remaining of the month, will you still release it on the last day of that month for the 5$ tier or not ? Because even though this new payment method solves this problem, since it was implemented today on the 9th there's bound to be some people who subscribed on the 1st as a 5$ patreon and will be charged on the 1st again in February. As for my second question (originally this was my only one), since February is only 28 days long and this Update comes out late January, it's safe to say that Update 4 is gonna have a March release, did this contentwise empty next month have anything to do with you implementing this new payment method ? As for my last (and most important) question: Will you have time to make Rose's next quest ?
