It's a side project because his main project is a sequel made in Unity to his first and most popular game: Roundscape Adorevia, a ridiculously huge and complex RPG with several routes, scenes and fetishes made in RPG Maker with hand-drawn artwork.
Honestly It kind of makes me a little bit annoyed such a great game is being put on the back burner, but instead of making a big deal about it I just decided to vote with my wallet and sponsor it on Patreon. That's my way of encouraging the dev to want to work more on the game that I love.
Specifically, because it's one of the few games that actually integrates romance and kinky sex which is kind of apt for the world and its setting. Makes me feel so much more invested in what's actually happening.
Put it like this if you just turned this game into a brothel sim and removed anna you would have nothing left. Her journey (and maybe some future prospects) is what makes it so interesting and fun.
No insult to the devs but the slow ass navigation system and the event system (It's kind of cool to be honest, but making a app for the player to keep track of events or even the schedule of characters is badly needed. 99% of the reason its so frustrating isnt because you have to wait for the event its that there's so many its really hard to keep track of just from memory. The calendar is helpful but it doesnt keep track of anything besides the quests and visits + you have to be in your room to use it) would have killed a lesser game.
I agree, this game is amazing and is such a shame that it is treated as a extra thing, I know that the creator said that the other project is more rentable, but I do hope that this one is successful enough that he expands on this series, there is a spin-off planned but I would kill for some dlc where other girls also do the starmaker thing, Alice would definitely do it, Emma on her corrupted route too, and the other well something can come up lol. I just want to see this world expanded cause it's one of the best things to come out of the adult game sphere in a long time.
