itch.io

hmm... not real sure why it's not letting you see. Do you have menus? can you show a screen grab?

Android or iPhone?

First: that's not even supposed to be operational until September-- Way, WAY after this update hits. I'd say at least 2-3 updates away (this one is extra large, hence the extra time) and Second: Google has already stated there will be a way for devs to register/identify their apps... and that is IF Third: it won't be possible to disable the blocker to begin with... which Google is still debating, as it may lose custom-- the argument being that owner's choice is a major feature of Android OS.Try not to panic. There is also the Fourth: Jailbreaking is not a new concept. You just know some enterprising person will find a workaround. ;)

Pro Tip: once she becomes available, visit her often. ;)

Check your quests, but also check the hints offered on the ladies' profiles-- sometimes you'll find something that wasn't very obvious will help you progress...

If you join the Patreon (I believe there is a free tier-- no perks, but devlogs, etc.) you will feel better about the wait... also, join the Discord! NCrow is active there (they like to lurk, LOL)... that part is always free! =D Rest assured, the new update is coming very soon. The main reason it's taking so long is that NCrow has something rather large coming-- I'm not gonna spoil anything-- but it's really big compared to some of the other updates. This is info straight from the Patreon, and it's been in the works for a while. NCrow won't let you down... have a little faith, or join the Discord, and know for sure!

I'm gonna copy/paste for a sec here, because this has come up before... in the end, it's up to NCrow, of course, but previous discussions brought up various points that must be considered:
------------VVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVV-------------

<I'm not sure how likely that is-- for two reasons: voice acting is expensive (it's different with plap noises or wet noises because anyone can make them) and the second reason is file bloat-- sounds are big files-- with such a diverse cast, it would blow up the size of the game very quickly, and GW is already not so small. It's all fun and games until you're DLing 7-8 gigs on the downloader, at the mercy of the server connection speed. I get what you mean, I'm just not sure the logistics are as feasible as we'd like them to be. NCrow is good, but we don't want to break them...>
These points were brought up in the Discord under much the same circumstances. NCrow may try it anyway, but between cost and bloat <shrug> I wouldn't blame them for avoiding the headache, especially with a cast that big... and re using voices seems a bit cheesy-- I don't think NCrow would dishonor the ladies like that... even the mean ones.

The game is free. It'll be ready when it's ready. There is no need to be rude, here. More info is available on the Patreon and on the Discord, if you like, but nobody is "out of line". This is one of the top most popular games on Itch-- for a reason. Don't rush an artist.

Nah, they're already getting paid by the authors for storage, they don't need my money, too-- nor do they need a vector into my system that allows them to market my data, etc. Funny, because they claim Firefox can't buffer a file that big, but Mediafire and Google Drive manage just fine. I think I'd rather not DL an app from a company that lies that blatantly.

FYI Mega wants to install it's spyware before it'll let you download, claiming whatever browser you use doesn't have enough buffer to get the job done. It refuses to allow download unless you comply.

Honestly, I don't get paid, or even asked-- I just hate cyberbullies. Also, I'm informed on this. Oh, and I don't feel entitled/inclined to complain about free stuff. Oh, yeah, and I don't make a point of going back-- over and over-- to pages I allegedly don't like just to b*tch that it's not moving at the pace I expect it to. Seriously, if you're not losing money somehow, why TF do you care? You just, what, want to take away his income stream because he's not moving fast enough for you? Seriously, move on. This isn't healthy. It's none of your business what Komisari does with their revenue stream, any more than what color underwear I'm wearing is. Frankly, it amazes me you have the audacity to think you're entitled to know-- especially when you haven't paid a single red cent for the game. If you don't want/aren't interested in this game, why are you here? To bully. To try to take away from. To reduce. To do all of this from the safety of an anonymous profile... and now you want to try to bring it to me for defending Komi?

This game has been in the top ten games rated adult on Itch.io for as long as I've been a registered user... it's also one of the first I downloaded. I didn't start supporting the game until almost a year later-- because I didn't know about the Discord. Didn't know about the community. $2 a month. I don't even need the donation to be a member of the Patreon or Discord... they're free. Donations are not mandatory... and the ONLY reason I can think of for you to be here trying to say he's 'ripping people off' is if you're jealous of the fact that he has that many people that have faith in the project. It's an amazing game-- it wouldn't be in the top 10 if it wasn't-- and it's going to get better. Just stop-- you're not entitled to anything, here, and the game is free. When they put out the next update, it'll STILL be free, unless they get fed up with cyberbullies and make it exclusive to their Patreon contributors (which they most definitely can if they so choose) and keep this page as a public demo, with comments turned OFF. Honestly, at this point, I would, were I they-- lucky you, I think Komi is too nice for that.

I'm not sure how likely that is-- for two reasons: voice acting is expensive (it's different with plap noises or wet noises because anyone can make them) and the second reason is file bloat-- sounds are big files-- with such a diverse cast, it would blow up the size of the game very quickly, and GW is already not so small. It's all fun and games until you're DLing 7-8 gigs on the downloader, at the mercy of the server connection speed. I get what you mean, I'm just not sure the logistics are as feasible as we'd like them to be. NCrow is good, but we don't want to break them...

I heard... pretty sad that a freaking video game with fantasy elements is an issue, but whatever...

We should probably stick to topic on another game dev's page, tho, Steph

Haven't been to the discord since not long after the rework... I was one of the ones not so happy with the character reworks. I'm taking a break while he finishes the next update-- cooling off, as it were.

I get what you're saying, and if the author were claiming the music as his own composition, I could see it being an ethical issue. College kids using AI to create term papers, do homework, etc. is honestly not 'wrong' per se, but in the end it defeats the purpose of attending school in the first place: to sharpen themselves into smart, functional adults capable of more. It is wrong, in the sense that the one you are wronging is yourself. A bit of a moral 'grey area', if you will.

Further than that, AI is a tool; much like Ren'Py, or Koikatsu, or Honey Select, etc., etc..... most artists will site the big, licensed tools (like Ren'Py, or any number of programming/coding tools, but more often than not leave KK, HS, or HCC in the fine print (some won't even go there) and claim the work is entirely their own. We know, of course, and the model design is theirs, but it's made possible with a tool that accessed/utilized the work of many, many developers, programmers, testers, and a slew of others-- so decrying an AI stage dressing while being ok with the artist not creating his own coding, game engine, purpose-built computer, etc... would mean the only artists that would be truly valid would be those that sculpt, paint, or compose with tools they designed, made, and implemented themselves. It's not that much of a leap, either. When you credit Ren'Py in your game, you're crediting everyone that was involved in it's creation. When you credit the AI, you're crediting its creators, and everyone-- everyone-- in whatever database it used to 'learn' from. 

If you are a solo dev, or limited by resources on how much you can spend, etc., using a free AI source to dress up your own work doesn't seem like it's an egregious sin-- as long as you site the source, and don't claim credit for anything you don't do (arrangement, selection, etc.) and give those who are opposed, for whatever reasons, a warning to steer clear. 

That said, I reiterate that I get your point of view, but don't necessarily agree with how severe you seem to think the ethical breach is. just my $.02.

Heya Kitty! I remember! Hope you're doing well!

Top of my list of favorites, right here... amazing story, amazing characters, stunning art and animations... amazing Dev... Strongest recommendation I can give is to go check out NCrow's Patreon. This one is worth it 100%

sjhshshshsh2 , your profile, and your alt awdasqwwaw2 have comment histories that all but sign your name to a real litany of false accusations, defamation, slander, and cyber bullying across this comment section, as well as Corrupted Kingdoms, Superhuman, GomamonTrainer, Twisted Fates, The Haunted Acre, Maya's Life... I've reported some of these, and will continue to report any further insults-- it's pretty much just spam at this point. Have the night you deserve.

I've reported some of these, and will continue to report any further insults-- it's pretty much just spam at this point. Have the night you deserve.

sjhshshshsh... it is absolutely adorable how you think you can get that last petty insult in by blocking replies... typical cyberbully... insult, and block...

You really should try something more creative than random letters when making bully accounts... not hard to figure out you're also awdasqwwaw2... :D :D :D

To be fair, I've resorted to copy/paste a few times... especially when I see the same thing (like you) over and over. Sometimes they create burner profiles so they can be particularly nasty with their accusations, and not worry about getting reported... creative, but easy to spot. Clowns like this feel like they're entitled to the work... didn't pay a dime, didn't contribute, but somehow feel like they've been 'scammed'... I don't feel the need to waste the energy to explain any differently, because the reality hasn't changed: there is no scam. No Grift. No rip-off. Honestly, I halfway believe at this point that it's other, minor devs that are angry/jealous that this game still sits comfortably in the top 20 AVNs on Itch.io ... and they're jealous. It really is better than some of the stuff you pay for on Steam, even unfinished. Thank you for stepping up and defending against this kind of cyber bullying. Your comment hits the nail on the head. I hope you enjoyed your coffee, and game night! Cheers!

You need only look in the comments above and below to see Komi responding... why act like they're nowhere to be found?

Sure, man... it's MUCH better to bully someone over a free game, right? Donations are freely given.. NOT quid pro quo. Donors can stop when they please-- Where is the scam...? Take your free game-- it's already bigger, and more engaging, than many Steam games in it's unfinished state... and go on thinking you somehow got ripped off. I'll do my best to feel sorry for you, while you continue to cry about being entitled to the rest of it after bashing the author publicly. Seriously, why are you even here? Is it just to be a cyberbully...?

The Dev, their testers, and more are frequently available on the Discord... along with the roadmap, sneak-peeks, images, .GIFs, videos... but feel free to give up if all you're going to do is feed these cyberbullies reasons to bash Komi. Try asking this in the Discord.

You keep saying that... scammed... did you forget to cancel your membership of something?

The author isn't charging anyone for a single thing. The game is free. You're welcome. I've posted the definitions for a purchase, versus a donation a few times in this comment section, if you're unclear about the difference. Those of us contributing are free to pause at any time-- we aren't locked in-- and we ALSO know where to find the progress reports, talk to the author, etc... it's been made clear, over and over... but hey... go ahead and try to bully/harass the author further by demanding a product you aren't even paying for... because that's not shady at all...

What grift...? The author isn't charging anyone for a single thing. The game is free. You're welcome.

Also: What are you talking about with the comment section...? ALL the comment sections are there, for the main page AND all the devlog sections... Are you ok...?

You keep saying 'scam'... like the author of this game is charging anyone a single dime to download this game, which is already larger than some paid games on Steam... time to enlighten you whiners again, it would seem...

This is NOT what is going on. The product is free. You're bashing a dev that is providing a FREE PRODUCT because he hasn't finished it yet. Right. You're out here demanding something you didn't even purchase ... do you even see what you're typing? 

If you don't like it here, scroll on. Being a tool and getting offended over something on the internet you aren't obligated to read or pay for is like going out of your way to step in a pile of dogshit just so you can beat your dog for making the pile.

Feel free to go elsewhere.

Pause your whining-- you aren't entitled to the sweat of another person's brow. 

Weeewooo weewoo whiner alert... if you don't want to donate, you can TOTALLY pause it yourself... this isn't a purchase, the game is FREE... donations are voluntary. Are you really on here demanding someone to conform to your own ideal? 

Edit: Did you make that profile for the express purpose of defamation/slander/cyber bullying? Really?

Wait.. is this just a bugfix? no new storyline or scenes?

If it's just a bugfix, I think I'll keep waiting for the next one... thanks.

Steph... if you're who I think you are, you're there more often than me... <BONK>... this is Pady, lol. Angelo knows more than I do about it.. =P

Certainly happy to try... I'm not there very often myself, bu t next time I'm in I'll ask him where he's at on it and see if he'll spill some beans. He enjoys streaming, often while he renders, too. I know his testers have all said he found that the newest coding has finally grown to the point that compatibility between chapters was becoming sketchy, and added/new features were causing issues, so he had to go back and re do quite a lot of the game-- which has been rough. One of his senior testers frequents this page and answers questions occasionally as well... I'm just one of his supporters. If I remember, ChristheGriz, or something similar is his tag here on Itch. Helpful fellow.

Discord. The dev is active there fairly frequently, answers questions, and streams Q/A. His testers are nearly always on there.

Dude posted Komi's financials here, accusing him outright of scamming, and I'M the asshole? nah. Not even a good try. Y'all are literally on here attacking and defaming someone because they don't do things how you like them done. Get a grip.
I'll be an asshole to anyone attacking another person that doesn't deserve it... and Komi does not deserve it-- not by any stretch of the imagination. Again, you're bashing, defaming, and outright bullying someone because they haven't given you what you're demanding... something you did NOT pay for (REMINDER: a donation is not payment for a product or services rendered. I can post definitions again, if you'd like, so you know the difference between a purchase and a donation) and downloaded for FREE. Yes, I'll be an asshole OR a dick all day long to defend against cyberbullying douchcanoes that pull that nonsense... whether or not his other patrons are like me is beyond irrelevant. I'M the one stepping up-- to defend someone I support. If you're narrow enough to judge an entire community because my defense of the dev offends you, I guess that says more about YOU than it does me.

Accusing someone of scamming is 'constructive'? News to me... 
Just to be clear:

This is NOT what is going on. The product is free. You're bashing a dev that is providing a FREE PRODUCT because he hasn't finished it yet.
But I'm the asshole. Right. You're out here posting financials, and demanding something you didn't even purchase, but I'm the asshole.
... do you even see what you're typing?

You made a temporary profile (70 days... really?) and posted numbers you claim are accurate reflections of what they made from Patreon, and speculated on SS. If you're not trying to discourage anyone, you sure look like you're doing exactly that. It rather looks like you made the profile so you could do it, too... on here acting like a disgruntled customer-- you didn't buy anything (if you really donated at all) you made DONATIONS you weren't even asked/expected to make. Patreon memberships for HHG start... START... at $2. Not $10. If you paid $10, that's on you, not Komi... and you can downgrade to "free" whenever you like, to stay in touch. Likewise, the Discord is free. Stop acting like anyone still donating is being ripped off... we KNOW what's going on, and nothing-- not a single thing-- is hidden.
Also... you're not purchasing a product... so yes, you got it for free.

1st- You agreed to help-- it's a "donation"... meaning if you weren't comfortable donating, stop. Simple. Anyone that keeps up with the Discord had the right --at any time-- to cancel their membership and ride free if they are IN ANY WAY uncomfortable with how the money they gave away is being spent, just like anyone that didn't, or felt they were being kept in the dark.
2nd- Make no mistake: you are NOT paying for a product. You're donating -aka giving away- money to a developer. It's right there in the TOS for Patreon, Subscribestar, and any number of platforms like it. It isn't a bill. It's not a charge. It's a donation. You can even get it back through the right processes on Patreon. Stop acting like they're robbing anyone, or even conning them, because they didn't force anyone into membership. You're calling them grifters because they aren't doing things according to YOUR business model? That's ballsy. Nobody got here at gunpoint, and nobody is getting scammed. You can download it free--> if you like it, you can check out the Patreon/SS--> if you feel like it, you can donate--> if you don't, you still get it for free--> if you're not happy with how it's going, you can cancel.
3rd- There is nothing misleading, here... his progress reports here are not hidden. Anyone can see how long it's taking, and if they want more info, the Discord is there to help. Quit whining, put away your self-righteous indignation, and move on, if you are an adult that isn't satisfied.
P.S. putting anyone's finances on blast in a public forum is in poor taste-- a bullying tactic-- don't come here claiming you meant to do anything but harm those finances by chasing away supporters, present and future. Anyone curious can look, yes, but it is also possible to hide those numbers, and I would imagine Komi left them public for transparency-- rather a poor tactic for someone looking to hide something, yeah?
Low-class cheap shot.

... Whelp, I'd suggest you get another hobby, then, because the GOOD games like this take years... just because he doesn't release incomplete pieces or parts like many others, doesn't mean it isn't getting done. If they were radio silent, I could see it, but Komi most definitely isn't. Gosh, I'm really glad I have better things to do than go to a Dev's page and try to chase off his support because he didn't do things the way I think they should be done. SMDH.
His monthly from Patreon is posted on the "about" page on the HHG site... congrats, you've "outed them". How clever. I'm not sure about crossing the 400k mark, because they guy makes less than me, but whatever.
Pretty cheap shooting, dude.
I guess I shouldn't expect too much from someone hiding behind a temporary profile less than three months old... did you make it so you could do this?

The Discord link above works fine...

Takes you straight to the sign in for Aberrant Arcade-- the official Discord for this game.

The Subscribestar works just fine... what link are you clicking...?
