Okay I have just decided on a policy of my own.
I refuse to pay for any AVN that has a development time of over 6 months per release, on average.
I also refuse to pay for any individual content release that takes more than 6 months to develop.
No exceptions, no excuses are acceptable, no quality level justifies it. I also wont pay for poor quality products.
Get Gud.
I think you need to rethink your policy on releasing content here on itch dude. Youre making us wait a year until we see a new version, while the guys on patreon get to enjoy it.
Why so long? Its not our fault we cant pay you via Itch, the guys at Itch did that. Why are you punishing us?
Couldnt you release it for free on Itch after 6 months? Thats more than enough time for them to enjoy it.
By the way you are incredibly slow as a Dev... 12 months is a long, long, time. I know at least one Dev that often produces new content every 6 weeks...
Its a personal thing really. Shes a very chaotic woman.
For example, just before the scene in question she tells the MCs wife thats shes going to fuck her husband... to her face.
Not sure if it was just to spite her or not. Maybe its just that Kalestra does whatever she wants and has no respect for anyone else.
Either way I dont like it and I dont like not getting a choice about the lewd, hence my disgruntled attitude.
Depends on who the someone is, doesnt it? what if its your supervisor? what if your supervisor doesn't like you? Could you trust them to be unbiased?
Also, this isn't the same thing as a job. This is entertainment. I dont need this for an income or for anything at all as a matter of fact... so I very much can quit simply because I dont like Kalestra... especially when the choice wasn't offered to me.
I stayed this long because there are things i like about the game, such as the general story. I also like that NoGlory is a responsive Dev that actually gives a damn about what I think.
He actually listens and that matters.
This is a deal breaker for me though.
But there has been no news, no posts since September and thats my point.
The Dev expects to be paid monthly on Patreon and yet doesnt give monthly reports on progress or anything at all.
No sample pics, nothing.
In my opinion that means they shouldnt be getting any support at all until they do start giving regular, reliable progress.
Yo! I rather like your AVN but found that the use of puzzles was very frustrating.
Personally I find puzzles annoying and frustrating, Im terrible at them. So when you place a puzzle as a stopping point to the rest of the AVN I just get stuck, unable to continue the story.
Which of course leads to me just quitting the AVN.
Please consider making all puzzles skippable or at least putting in a limit to how many times it can be failed or how long it takes before a game over occurs.
I can accept a Game Over if I deserve it but will just be frustrated and annoyed if I cant proceed at all...
Im only really thinking of main girls when I say 'Harem.'
I think Im gonna have to try again, I think I messed up one of the girls path.
Unfortunately I dont use Patreon, so id prefer it if I could support you through Itch when the time comes but I heard that Itch is still shadow banning AVN devs anyway...
Just wanted to let you know that I really love your AVN.
The thing that really makes it stand out from the rest is the sense of humor! Its amazing!
So far im giving this a 4 out of 5 and Im a picky bastard, so in my book thats a very high rating.
The only reason i withheld that 5th star is because of some very common tropes and ideas and predictable storylines but if you keep going the way youre going you'll get it anyway!
I might even throw in some money here on Itch if thats possible.
The latest release was on Jun 14th, 2025. Its currently 15th December. Thats 6 months since the last release on this site, not 2 months...
And its clearly not ready yet or we would already have it!
According to a post below it has been over 2 months since hes said anything over there, let alone here!
Yes Im aware you probably mean Patreon. I still think he owes THEM at least one progress report each and every month!
All he needs to do is say 'i know its been a while, im working on it.' That takes like 10 seconds.
And im the entitled one? Seems to me the dev feels entitled to peoples money and gratitude while providing little to no information in return. Low effort.
Also im not just thinking of my own needs... im trying to protect newbies and other fellow followers that might foolishly think this dev will treat them with the respect they deserve!
Ok so finished all content again.
Final tally on stats:
Appeal 6, Knowledge 71, Imagination 5, Prowess 75, Spell power 75.
Atrophy on my Knowledge became a real problem after the Trail of the Mind, but I at least managed to keep it where I had it.
Didnt learn Shapechange spell, did learn Teleportation and Levitation.
I think i finished the Violet path, she is best gurl.
I deliberately avoided Elisabeths path, but I did see her struggling with the rival guy (Percival?)
Again didnt see any other girls that seemed like Love Interests.
I had the Lucky Clover, the Dueling Gloves and the Superior Wand. Didn't worry about the rest as they relate to stats Im either avoiding or just want to keep at the same level.
I enjoyed this play through a lot more.
Ok So I won the trial. Still wasn't easy.
Final tallies on stats just after the Trial of the Mind:
Appeal 6, Knowledge 71, Imagination 5, Prowess 14, Spell power 61.
I did buy the improved Wand just after getting the extra money from the MCs family.
I saw no shapechange spell, didnt need it to win.
Next ill concentrate on Prowess and Spellpower, just keeping my knowledge from atrophy. Btw i noticed atrophy rates seem way down now.
Thats great.
So I have decided to restart the game with a singular goal:
Winning the tournament.
I am specializing in Knowledge and Spellpower, nothing in anything else until after the first trial.
The only classes im going to study are Dueling and Magic Theory and the only Free time im going to do are Study and Practice Spells.
I wont bother chasing after girls, all I want is to win the tournament.
Ill let you know how it works out.
As I said I'm pretty sure I had around 50 in Knowledge. Still came in last.
I guess I just suck?
As far as I can see there's nothing to understand about the trail... you click on an option, you fail, you either try again and again until you pass or you go another way and you fail there too.
Meanwhile the two other champions breeze their way through it, but then they have been training for it for the whole year i assume.
I didnt see any option to use animal form. I played it some time ago.
I remember there being a animal form spell in my latest playthrough but nothing for its use during the test. So there was no choice but to stumble about trying to 'brute force' my way through.
Of course I used the option I thought most likely to use Knowledge or Spellpower. I still failed 2 or 3 times before id be allowed to pass, even with 50 knowledge.
Like I said, Im a nerdy guy, I dont socialize in the common room or anything like that. So I met Violet and I liked her. Met the class president girl, because its part of the story, and thats it.
During my latest playthrough I started working on my Prowess after the test of knowledge but I didnt seem to meet any other girls, not that I wouldve paid much interest if I did. I was pretty invested in Violet by then.
Hi. I tried your AVN.
Very pretty art but I didnt enjoy it as much as I hoped. You see I wanted to win the first part of the tournament and it seems to be nearly impossible to do. I specialized in knowledge and spellpower and still couldnt win, ending up in last place.
I dont know if its meant to be that way or i just suck at this game. Either way, very frustrating.
Its meant to be a test of knowledge, so why is knowledge such a weak component in it? shouldnt a high knowledge be extremely valuable during a test of knowledge?
Just to be clear I had over 50 knowledge and nearly as much spellpower. i had a little bit of imagination too. i pretty much ignored charisma and prowess.
The atrophy rate is way too fast too. people dont turn into slugs after a few weeks...
Next regarding the LIs.
I like the nerd girl, i think her name was Violet, but that was really all. I encountered the class president girl, i forget her name, but she seemed like someone I wouldnt have much in common with.
Shes well liked and popular, im a quiet nerdy guy. So i ended up avoiding her as much as I could.
Didnt meet the other girls. Dont even know who they are.
There ya go, thats my take on your game.
Ok finished the update. Very like, much happy.
Mystery glowy eyes at the end was interesting but in the interest of no spoilers I wont say more than that. So was the scene with the claw boy talking to his boss. Much foreshadowing. Wow.
Doge approves.
Last but not least, while I kind of wish I could've turned down the lewd scene I understand why that wasn't an option. Kuro's test.
Kuro really shone in this release too by the way.
