Devlog!
Added 2024-05-18 02:40:22 +0000 UTCHey guys! How are you guys doing?
Me? Very good! Thanks for ass king!
Time for that good ol'devlog!
From the feedback I got I think this was a good patch! At least without so many complaints or people telling "f**k you farmguy!" on my dms and I think that is pretty good!
I think some of the success of this patch has to do with me not making any of the girls try to kill the mc... this time...
Well, I'm just happy that no major bugs where found, at least not like last time, nothing stopping players from playing the patch from start to finish, just some minor fixes here and there, one where some scenes could trigger pregnancy without giving you the chance of using a condom but I fixed that after finding more areas where it could happen and a few typos.
Also no complains from some of the more weird scenes, like that one with "watersports", maybe I will add more scenes with that in the future, and a toggle for that, of course.
After a small week break I returned to work, first doing the planning for the next patch and then some coding tests for some news things I will be adding next(g-gallery...) so that's why apart from this image of the mushroom farming system I don't have much to show, usually pictures come after I finished all else.
Remember that scene where Marian tells mc about raising mushrooms? Well, this is one of the new systems coming to the game in the next patch, of course for sanitary reasons you won't be able to sell them but you can use them in various dishes!
Dishes you ask? Yes, now that you can send the girls to multiple places to do other things other than being milked you will need help to control the mood so you will be able to give then gifts.
See? Many new things! For a small list of everything I want to do/I am doing/already did:
Fully rewrite the item system
Add cooking/mushrooms farming/fishing?/gift systems
Allow the girls to go to multiple places
Change how events are handled after they are done
Add a bunch of new conditions to events and also allow custom icons(this one is big)
Fixes for Kate/Ryo(mostly the order of execution of their events)
Add "xp" for the milking and the backend for increasing the amount and the quality of the milk
ui polishing and other small things
And yeah, when I finish all this the game will reach the 0.2 version.
Sadly all those fixes will require everyone to start on a new save, but worry not, I will send saves like last time and for the people that will replay the game, there will be new scenes happening in earlier parts of the game too, win win!
I think that's it for today? I'm still working a lot... Oh right, that's not all!
Starting next week I will be making some polls for the next cow! A fan favorite! Can you guess who?!
No? and now?
The voting for this cow girl will be very detailed, like you guys asked for the last cow, so stay sharp!
Yeah, that's it for today! Have a nice weekend!
love you, <3

2024-05-21 14:58:54 +0000 UTCThanks @FarmGuy.. Not sure how Akari asking the MC to find Charlotte relates to her attempt to kill him the second time they met, but ok... He's just a tool and it's pretty clear Akari sees him as a child and treats him like one.. And I brought this to Discord and got zero response, so figured it would be good for other supporters if they join and read these comments, to know that there were some issues people have raised. Issues that have so far been mostly ignored with this section of the game, since it wasn't changed or adjusted in any way with the last update.

2024-05-21 04:57:57 +0000 UTCI misunderstood what you wrote when you said "I'm not there yet" meaning you had never seen this section of the game and was just replying to the post I made without that knowledge. So my apologies for that misunderstanding. See I don't mind apologizing when I realize I am wrong :) (Too bad other characters can't do the same) Yep, the scene was handled, poorly thought of by some. That's the point. Let me make sure no one thinks I am "telling them what to feel" if I make a general statement that I'd expect large numbers, probably the majority to possibly agree with so I'll be more pointed.. Most people I don't think, if they were trapped, chased down and brutally attacked (sword half way cut through the neck keep's popping up, that the MC said they actually felt) would just calmly sit there and have a civil conversation immediately afterward, or even the next day. At minimum we can assume any sane person would probably be in shock, possibly angry, possible shaking so hard in fright that their legs couldn't hold them up. Yet none of that seemed to occur. Instead the MC just sat there having a pleasant conversation with someone who as far as he was concerned and experienced, just tried to kill him. And they were active in the attack, not just standing there while others did the work, but they were directing the actions of the attackers. As mentioned initially, it's this complete lack of acknowledgement from either the MC, or Akari other than her trying to hand wave the attack away or 'joke' to lighten the mood (It's just a joke bro, we were only planning to potentially murder you, why you so mad?") about the whole situation. And yes, I do understand about Akari having to deal with the PtB (powers that be), she explained after she had instigated the entire attack, that she had to cover for the MC's initial use of the mind powers when they had to stop Himari from brutally attacking the MC (seems to be a pattern with Himari and Akari to kill or crippling attack first and then ask questions or talk things out.) Akari seemed like she was willing to talk, when there were other potential witnesses around. It was only when she had the entire advantage of having the MC on her home field that she dropped the polite falseness to show her true colors. So my question was.. WHY did that entire attack have to happen to begin with? The attack is the point of contention, so maybe Akari could have actually sat the MC down and talked with him first? She could have easily restrained him almost anytime by the other goddesses present, without the entire "sword cutting through the neck". She had a lot of options.. If her intent wasn't to either kill him or be lucky and he have the other partial goddess soul involved. Thankfully for the MC he did have that, otherwise her methods seemed well out of hand since the MC hadn't done anything to her or anyone else other than self-defense with Himari. So sure, we can say that she was trying to defend her position, but the issue is there was no 'situation' to deal with other than what she caused. So did Akari handle things with 'minimal' violence? Not at all. If she didn't know what to do, which I believe she had multiple plans in place because things were obviously coordinated, then maybe she could have continued the conversation like in the townhall. She could have still had the MC at her place, even transported him into the domain, and then just captured him, hell if she was worried about the situation she could have had done a number of non-lethal options, yet that wasn't the choice she picked. Of course the MC didn't want to talk to her because for all anyone knows in the town she's part of organized crime family and has a killer on her payroll. If Akari is as smart as she's portrayed to be, and she realized the MC was nervous, again she could have met him in a public place to talk to get to know him. She could have gotten him comfortable enough to visit and then pulled him into the domain, or simply mentioned that SHE knew about goddesses and had others she was involved with, any of those would have probably gotten the MC to trust her. She had a LOT of options, yet the one that she picked was the most brutal one, the most fatal one. And then no one seemed to care about it. That entire attack, and the lack of any real consequence is the foundation of what's wrong with that scene. Either the MC is a psychopath or sociopath and has no ability to feel emotions or is just incredibly naΓ―ve and really stupid to have no reaction to any of that. Do you think the 'landlady' would have had the same reaction he did if that happened to her the same way, or she knew it had happened to the MC? Not at all, she'd have went ape shit on Akari I could imagine since she would have understood the true intent of Akari, Himari and all the rest. She *knows* Himari is a murderer beyond a shadow of a doubt, so from that point on Akari would probably be a dead entity as far as the 'landlady' was concerned. I wish she did know because there would have been actual consequences to all that, and her reaction may have saved that entire scene and made Akari and Himari have to actually admit their actions and perhaps,.. Perhaps they may have even had a little remorse or guilt, but it's doubtful. That scene reminds me of people caught doing something wrong and they are angry, not because they were doing something wrong, but the fact they were caught. They have no guilt or remorse. By the way I am not "attacking" a dev or a follower. Have I been aggressive in some of my reply? Yes I have, and if that made you uncomfortable then my apologies. I am used to discussing things with people who are a bit more thick skinned, especially when it's a topic they are energetic about. As long as no one is directly attacking someone, not just their discussion points, its generally ok. I am not saying I am 'trying to win' but I am simply repeating the same points so am now done with the situation. I doubt any of it will be changed, which is unfortunate because I really would like to like Akari as a character, but from a slightly mysterious entrance and first interaction with the MC that happened in the townhall to jumping immediately to the attempt to murder the MC, just ruined her image to me. Others may simply not care, but how things are now she's just a dead character and I wish we could ignore her.

2024-05-21 04:47:16 +0000 UTCAs said, there is a missing girl called Charlotte and Akari is looking for her for the mc. Also, I really recommend taking this discussion to discord...

2024-05-21 03:16:42 +0000 UTCEither you have decided that I haven't played the game or you didn't read what I wrote. I'm on my Seconded play-through. And I made multiple points that I wouldn't of been able to if I hadn't been through it already. From what I remember from my First play-through, I think it was an ok outcome. There could of been another scene or two, maybe an argument or some extra Self Reflection on it. But over all, I think it was handled. It has been a few months since I've gone over it so maybe I'm forgetting something. You are right, I have never been killed by anyone so I don't know how I would feel about it, or how I would act to it. But I read and watched it the same as you did. And in your Words "No one would react like that, they'd be furious and scared" Copied strait from your Post. So, Yes. You did tell me how to feel about it. The Dev may not need someone to 'Defend them'. But they also don't need anyone to attack them, or their Followers that try to point things out that you might have missed or forgetting. Since not even you have been over it in a few months. Akari has explained that if she doesn't handle these situations, that the people above her come down on her. They take her and her organization out, replacing it with another. Then they Take out the problem, and anyone associated with them. In my eyes she did what was minimally required of her in a situation that she had to respond to, or else. She didn't know what to do, and she had multiple plans just in case, she was trying to get the MC to talk with her. And he kept avoiding her. Mainly because Sophia told him all the bad points about her. I like Akari, I think she made a few bad decisions. But for her they make sense. And she has made attempts to repair a relationship that the MC broke in the first place When I initially replied, I wanted to have a discussion. Maybe its a mistranslation from thoughts to text. But you're too aggressive for me. You write to finnish the argument. Its very, I don't want feedback style. I tried to make points, you just 'hand-waved' it all off and said You're welcome to make your own decisions.

2024-05-21 02:29:34 +0000 UTCAh, well play through this part and see what you think instead of attempting to refute statements that you have not even experienced yet. The dev doesn't need anyone to 'defend them' they should be able to stand by their story on it's own merit, as they wrote it, and be able to answer questions and explain motivations or resolve issues that readers/players have with it. A well written story WILL HAVE people invested in it, and they will want to question things that don't make sense or make the main character react poorly in a given situation. Unless the story was to present a truly emotionally and/or intellectually challenged person, like you see in some anime where the character has no depth. Even then, the story should make sense to the reader/viewer, with plausible explanations and things that make sense, and the story should reflect the actual situation. Otherwise you end up with a story with bits that are so insensible that they "jump the shark" and then the entire story becomes a farce even within the structure of it's own setting. I'm only 'invested' in this because it's been brought up multiple times before and never revised, never explained that I have seen but I may have missed it. The attempts to explain don't address all the issues with the entire scenario, most of which I have pointed out above. It's a giant hole in the middle of things and needs to get resolved because, for me at least, everything up to that was fun, and enjoyable, and everything after that especially with Akari I'd just as soon ignore and skip over. It basically killed an entire character and their part of the story with how it was handled, and I don't think that's the intent of the dev. I know some will defend the dev, as you and others do, with a handwave and a "its a porn game" as defense, but again, if the story is written to the point that the reader/player absolutely HATES one of the supposed main love interests, that should be fixed. Unless the intent was to make the player hate Akari long term and want to see her killed, written out of the story, or disgraced and debased to the point she is treated like an animal in response to what she did (or planned to do). In which case it succeeded pretty well. And I never told you "feel this way", I merely stated how the story came through to me and apparently others if there was enough feedback an episode later, that the dev commented on it. You're welcome to make your own decisions, go for it, but I'd recommend in the future to perhaps not try to defend something unless you've either ben in the situation, or at least experienced the story so you know what you're actually talking about and all the details that are involved or occurred. Just friendly advice from a grizzled old dude.

2024-05-20 13:45:42 +0000 UTCYou've obviously have played this way more the me. I'm only on my 2nd play-through and I'm not even to this point in the game yet. I was just taking the other side of your argument to see if my thoughts could help you. But you're really invested into this Story line, and I don't like being told how to feel about something. I'm just here to enjoy a game and story that I could never do myself.

2024-05-20 09:10:05 +0000 UTCI would be more willing to go with this if there was not that part in there story, during the trapping and attacking the MC, where Akari basically tells Himari "do what we talked about" meaning her attack on the MC, with the intent to kill. It's amusing that so many people want to just hand wave everything off, but here's the thing.. Akari and Himari having talked about what to do IF X happened, with the expectation that it WOULD happen to the point of having specific instructions, means Akari pretty much expected to have the MC react like he did when she threatened him and she had a plan to neutralize him. Permanently. The only thing that saved the MC was not any type of good will or mercy from Akari or Himari, but Abaddon (hope I am getting her name right) looking ahead to what they planned to do to the MC and stopping it. The way the story is written, they had all plans to kill him if Abaddon had not attached to his soul already. *That* was the thing that saved him, otherwise he'd be dead and anyone who also struggled, like the 'tennants and landylady" that may have asked questions would also be neutralized or mind-wiped and the MC's existence erased completely. She doesn't need proof that it didn't happen, because she *knows* what her plan with Himari was to deal with the MC. he doesn't need to tell her the details of her plans, because she knows what would have happened. It's like if you had an elaborate plan to ambush someone, and every contingency planned for and then someoen said "oh hey, this happened" and they then describe exactly what you planned to do, and then gave all the details, you SHOULD believe them because they either literally experienced what you planned to do with them, or they are a mind reader. She 'hand-waved' it all off because she was embarrassed that the MC saw how she really thought of him, and what she had planned to do to get rid of him. It's like someone playing all nice and friendly, and you find out they are really sneaky, and you prove it to them and they realize they got caught. They will want to change the topic or minimize the situation because there is nothing else they can do, except admit they were caught and admit they were being sneaky or planned something underhanded. Which is exactly what she did... She wanted the MC to "forget about that" because he had a front row seat into how she deal with things in a permanent basis and how that reflects on her as a person; ruthless and unapologetic. Akari is NOT poor, either in the community, or otherwise. She works for the government and private businesses and has goddesses out making money constantly. Sure, the local town economy may be down, because they don't have farmers, or tourism, etc, but Akari is not part of that, and she's helping out but not purely for no self-interest. I she didn't help she knows that some would start asking questions and/or be much less welcoming to her and her pseudo company. Remember, as far as everyone in town knows, she runs a "gentleman bar" where women sell their time and drinks for guys to talk to. Some wouldn't like that if it seemed like a bordello or strip club to others. Going back to "Akari's giving info for free, or offering training for free", well is she really being beneficial? Maybe a little, but she also is smart enough to know that if word gets out that the MC has a contract with a goddess, and he can't defend himself, she would probably have to step in anyway. So it's cheaper for her to offer advice (to keep him out of trouble as best possible) and training (if he still ends up in trouble he can maybe not have to use the goddess powers which would cause more issues) than the larger costs if she didn't. I don't recall what 'missing woman' there is, your memory sucks as you get older and too many other games since I played this one a month or two ago. (lol) I do remember her telling the MC to find her missing husband before she will go with his needed contract part for her. And she offers no hint, no help, basically "good luck finding him somewhere in the world".. That's not really help, that's setting him up for a sewing needle in a haystack the size of Europe type challenge. Himari I thought attacked him because he saw her naked and then then he didn't apologize or look away fast enough. Again, a HUGE reaction to something that was not a big deal compared to her "killing intent" that Bast mentioned she felt from Himari toward the MC.

2024-05-20 04:06:36 +0000 UTCAs far as Akari is concerned, it never happened. She has been weighing her options and trying to find a solution. She doesn't want to upset her friend or erase her memory. And since then, she has been helping the MC out a lot, providing information for free, giving advice every time he as a thought about Goddesses that he decides he doesn't want them to know about, handing out jobs in a jobless market where she is probably strapped for cash, insisting that the hole family get real training and having her daughter do the training for free on site. And the biggest thing in my book, telling him she will help him complete his contract by finding the missing woman and knowing she is on the list. Himari doesn't remember her incident either. From what I remember about it. She didn't care that she was naked, something else triggered her. Yes I do think Akari brushed what he claimed happened off. But she has no proof that it even happened. If someone walked up to me and said, You chopped off my head and I demand an Apology. I'd brush it off too. The MC is a very chillaxed guy. And I would bet that he can tell that it sounds craze. He still seems weary around her. But she is a very Valuable resource. The MC is more concerned about the Aluminaughty (forget how its spelled) then what she Might have done. I could see a little more contents being added in on this. But for the most part I think its good. And don't you mean Landlord, and Roommates ;) lol

2024-05-20 03:40:26 +0000 UTCFirst off he shouldn't trust her at all. he should demand, and expect her to actually apologize for what she planned to do, or did, depending on the view. Then she should have to *earn* the MC's trust. From the MC's mom he knows the daughter has already killed multiple people, and she basically planned to kill him at the spring for no other reason than he saw her naked. Now Akari planned to also kill the MC to either force Abbadon to respond or end the MC's potential threat. Akari basically threatened the MC and instigated the fight with the MC, trapped him, and then planned to kill him, and his sisters if they interfered. She'd then have either mind wiped the entire town, including any remaining family (maybe only the mom if she also killed the daughters when they came to find out why he never returned home), so they'd all forget him. This was how the story unfolded until the sudden 'reverse time' thing, or the mental image of how that would have played out if the goddess hadn't given him the phrase to stop it all. All of the above was premeditated to basically end the MC as a threat, along with anyone else that was trying to help/protect him. Killing the MC was the only way to end the contract with Bast. So yeah, the MC should not in any capacity trust Akari at all, and that should reflect in his actions. She should have to work hard to actually earn his trust through actions, not just a hand wave of "oh, good thing the other goddess was in you to stop all that, eh, let's forget I planned to kill you and members of your family if I had to.." which is basically what she did and the MC went "duh, okay... hur hurr.." and blindly accepted all she did after he said he literally felt the sword cutting half way through his neck. Would you react like he did after experiencing all that? Someone trapping you, chasing you down and partially cutting your head off? And then just a shrug and "whoops my bad" as the justification? Doubtful, no one would react like that, they'd be furious and scared because she just showed how ruthless, unapologetic, untrustworthy and uncaring she really is. Most if not all would be pissed because she planned it all and was the aggressor in the entire situation. He just went there to talk and try to find out what the situation was only bringing out the goddess if he was attacked or threatened and then only for non-lethal response so he could get away.

2024-05-19 01:33:29 +0000 UTCI see, what would you want the mc to do on that situation? but maybe should make the mc more scared on that scene

2024-05-18 16:53:50 +0000 UTCWell at least you finally admitted that Akari WAS actually planning to and trying to kill the MC and he was only saved due to 'reasons'. He's still a dumbass for trusting her or anyone else without making them PROVE they could be trusted, not by words which can be easy lies, but actions and showing actual remorse, regret and apologize which never happened. She's someone who'd kill him and his family if they felt like it with zero qualms or remorse. The story reasons for her doing what she did do, or planned to do make sense, it's everything after that and the actual LACK of RESPONSE by the MC to it that was infuriating. If it was me, I'd get my pound of flesh because of what she planned to do, and the only reason not to try is because she has all the goddess working for her. So basically she has all the power, knows it, and doesn't feel she needs to apologize for anything she's done or does. That's an ego that needs severe humbling and with how things have unfolded it's doubtful that will ever happen. She treats MC like a joke, which does not make her attractive.
