I disagree that you working on two games isn't among the causes of the slow releases. How can working on two games at the same time not be?  Saying it isn't a cause doesn't make logical sense. Your previous releases were 2-3 months because the story was in its infancy. The more the story develops, the more it becomes involved and complicated and thus more time is required. I get that.

I don't care if you do or don't know if you know what's going on with your patrons and followers, as that doesn't concern me. I simply made the point that working on two games simultaneously slows down the work and that it isn't reasonable to patrons. I believe that's a fair assessment. You're free to disagree, but that's my assessment.

"Consumers" is the correct term, for no purchase is required to be a consumer. Those who read your works are consuming your work. Hence the term. You've gone on a tangent over a misunderstanding.

Your working long hours, making sacrifices, effect on your family, etc, then working on two projects at the same time cancels out your line of reasoning, as it's a yoke of your own making.

I never stated or implied that I don't respect you personally, I stated twice that I didn't respect your choice to work on two projects at the same time. I called such "retarded" and "foolish". I don't respect your decision and subsequent rationale, as it's partly to blame for the slow churn. It's not the first time you've misunderstood what I've stated.

Your excuses for the slow churn would be reasonable if you were only working on one story, but working on two stories at the same time invalidates your reasoning, as you've just made more work for yourself that's lead to slower release times. That's the point I've made. That's not being unfair to you. 

I know you've got your reasons for working on multiple games. They're your reasons and you're entitled to that. I just happen to disagree with those reasons being reasonable and acceptable, especially when even one chapter takes long enough, let alone working on something else in between. Your game may as well be abandoned - even if it technically isn't - given how long new chapter releases take. If you need to take a break, take a month off, that's reasonable. Working on another project isn't reasonable, especially to patrons.

I can understand why you've chosen to do as you have, but can you put yourself in the shoes of those that consume your work and see how your position may frustrate some? Would you continue to be engaged in a story that may take well over a year for a new chapter to be released? Do you think your massive delays are considered reasonable, not from your POV, but from the consumers POV? If you're to be honest, I doubt it.

You may not like certain feedback, but understand where it comes from. I've provided enough to answer that. 

Working on multiple games at the same time is retarded. You've gone beyond simping to fellating. The dev's created a good game. I think it's foolish to be working on multiple games at the same time. I don't respect that.

Dev is notorious for his extremely slow rate of work.

This game gets chapter updates slower than Artemis. And that's saying something.

This game needs less adult content and more of a story focus. The story is going nowhere in a hurry and it's getting boring. Adult scenes should only be added in appropriate places to add to the story, not be the focus.

I'm looking forward to chapter 6, as I prefer the sci-fi story and the characters going on adventures much more than the adult content.  Keep up the good work, Fire.

It takes someone with a bit of cunt in them to whack the naive, gullible fools over the head with the stick of reality.  digi b is going to milk your ilk  while you continue to take it in the ass with a smile.

"Before he started the game"? That would be 2020 or 2021. Yeah nah. That's drawing too long a bow to be believable. You don't hang with cancer that long. It's either being treated successfully and you're in remission or you're toast.

What proof do we have that digi b is telling the truth?

Two slow rolls with an excuse provided for both instances is now a pattern.

I say "excuses" because digi b has provided excuses on both occasions as to why he's slow rolling the release of his work. In what I've previously posted on the issue it's implicit that I believe he's lying. It didn't needed to be stated to draw that conclusion. And, yes, you're arguing semantics.

You're projecting hard. Being mature is keeping your emotions in check enough to not ad hom some random guy on the internet you disagree with. 

If you wish to believe the dev's excuse, that's up to you, but not everyone does, as it's not the first time he's provided an excuse for his slow-roll. You know, "fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me" applies here. But, alas, you have no shame, only an emotion-fueled rant that demonstrates how triggered you are. Harden up, princess.

digi b going MIA is typical of indie VN devs. As soon as they make enough money they offer excuse after excuse as to why development has come to a crawl or ceased entirely. The grift works even better when the naive don't see it for what it is and continue to support the grift.

The dev just wrote you another short story about his mom's cancer and you took it as a work of non-fiction... even after his last chapter took 13 months and having offered a BS excuse for that too. Faggots like you will believe anything. The perspective that's required is one of not being a naive fool. You should try it some time.

Way to miss the point retard. digi b slow-rolled the chapter 5 release too, and that was before his mom's alleged cancer. He provided an excuse for that too.

It just comes down to whether one believes the excuse by the dev or not. Some folks will naively believe whatever they're told... and you're one of them.

I call BS! Just look at the time frame between the release of chapters 4 and 5 - 13 months - and that was before the mother's cancer excuse. 13 months is unacceptable. Now the next chapter's release is even longer. Stop peddling excuses. Over a year for a chapter isn't reasonable, let alone acceptable.

Whatever money digi b has made he's made, and now he cares little for the project. Hence the snail's pace. Next excuse we'll be hearing is how the dog ate his hard drive that had all of his current chapter's work on it.

On itch.io it is, but not on dikgames. It's well worth the $10 though. Given that it's a masterpiece, the dev deserves the small outlay of $10. I haven't regretted it. Chapter 6 of Artemis will be out very soon.

If you enjoy Eternum and Ripples, I suggest you play Artemis. It's as good, if not better, than the aforementioned.

The MC is a dead ringer of Mark Zuckerberg.

Bring back the old title screen. The new one is cluttered and looks poo

This game is dead. Excuse after excuse each report. Like many other AVN's, it hooks you in only to be a grift. 

I don't care about the render quality so much as I care about getting a complete story.

Is that from Az's Patreon or not?

If you play this game just to nut, you're not going to get into it. If you want an A-grade story this is the game for you. I love this game

Time between releases isn't my issue at all, as I do a new playthrough upon every update.

I've explained my gripe with chapter 6 twice now? Why are you asking further questions as to what my issues are with chapter 6?

If you like AVN's with a good story, try Artemis, you won't be disappointed.

My issue with 6 is that it didn't have much in the way of set-up and even less in reveal. 6 was just a series of porn scenes with not much else. It's akin to fan service. I was rolling with the story up until 6, but 6 had no story to enjoy. Episodes 1-5 were good. 6 was a step in the wrong direction.

Episode 6 was about jumping from one girl to the next and little / nothing to do with the main story. I found that to be frustrating. The best AVN's have adult scenes that complement the story, not be the main focus. I hope that changes in Episode 7.

Episodes 1-5 had a good balance because it kept the main story in focus and moving forward. While Episode 6 lost its way, the game isn't unsalvageable. Episode 7 will be telling as to whether it becomes a meh porn game or whether it goes the story-first route and gets back on the right path.

Eternum's only rivaled on itch.io by Artemis

Eternum is all the better for focusing on story rather than sex. The best AVN's are story-focused.

Do an online search for a walkthrough.

I made a statement of fact, hence I'm not sorry for stating the truth. The Jews are the ones predominantly pushing porn in the Western world. They own the porn industry, just as they do with Hollywood, big tech and have a sizable influence over Wall St and the American federal government.

Btw, I don't need to masturbate, as I have a wife. Try not to project your need onto me or others.

Did I offend your delicate sensibilities? It's simply a  statement of fact that jews are predominantly the ones pushing porn in the Western world. If you project anymore, a hook nose just might give you a pat on the head of validation

Grub.

I always notice that certain items or locations get used in other AVN's. For instance, the kitchen in Young Again is the same kitchen used in Halfway House. The travelling bag used by one of the girls to go on the workplace holiday is used in Welcome to Free Will. The rug in Emma's bedroom is the same rug in the living room in My New Memories. There's numerous other examples littered throughout the various AVN's.

It's as if the dev's are dropping the hint that they're linked and working for the same group of pornographers. I suspect the little hats, especially given that many say English isn't their first language, and they're also the ones predominantly pushing porn in the West.

Good start to the story, DiPeppo. I look forward to future chapters. Good story > adult content ftw.

Awesome story. Stabby Mike is da man. Fit Jack is based. Man is always on thot patrol.

Same. I'm happy to do a one-off payment for a game, but won't do Patreon or a Patreon style method of payment. Besides, Patreon are a shit company.

Cool game. I'm really enjoying the story. Looking forward to the next update.
