Hi! Is there any chance the update will be released by the end of this month? I know, no dates promised, but I am finishing my vacation and wanted to know if I'll have to check out the new content before going back to work. ^^ No promises needed.
I'm glad! Will there be an option to change the size of menus and interfaces? I have a pretty large screen and they were really small in the previous version.
Thanks, glad you enjoyed! The next update will not be the full game, though it will contain a good amount of content added. It also will not be automatic, you'll have to download it again.
Hi, I have a question. I've already finished the events for the moment, but I still have things to do and I don't know how to do it. Could you help me?
If you finished the events that are shown in the event viewer than you should have everything completed. The next version will also come with a fast travel option to reduce these issues. :)
Hello there! I absolutely love this game, its layout and UI are amazing, and the graphics are stunning! I am not asking for a release date or anything, I just want to ask how you are going? If you are doing well, how the game is going , how Life is going?
im sorry but i have another problem so i saved my game and closed it then when i go to my files to open again i only see the project realism setup file then when i click on that i click next and it asks me do i wanna remove the game from my pc, i dont want to so how do i play and open the real game, pls help
This will be the best work ever, no doubt. We trust you completely. Your work is completely original and fluent, unlike visual novel-style productions. I have no expectations for the time bcz I know your potential. Everybody waiting this amazing game, best regards...
Is there a possibility to compile this for other Linux distros? I would normally just use WINE/Proton but it doesn't seem to like this game much. If you can I would recommend using appimages as they are near universal so you wouldn't have to make one for every major distro, and it can store libraries if needed allowing it to be near completely portable as well.
Appimages unfortunately suffered an issue where animations just wouldn't load, tried multiple times to fix it but failed every time.
Though the next update will use a different framework and I'm pretty certain it will remove all of the current issues while also allowing any Linux distro. :)
One thing I'll clear is that the update seems to be genuinely almost finished. This is taken from the other sites, but by his own chart it's about ~98% finished, with 0.2 having roughly 350 images in it while the new update alone has 1276 currently, and will likely reach around 1300, plus over 100 more animations. This update is MASSIVE, and it seems that Mecha underestimated the amount of work they needed to do each time, or incidentally continually broadening the scope which caused a longer workflow. He's promised that the future updates will be smaller to not have such a huge wait time again. Also heed that it will be roughly three weeks after the official release for it to become free, so you should check back in July.
While what you say is true and I definitely underestimated the amount of work, like said in the replies below, it's still my fault to convince myself that these ambitious release dates are something that I can meet.
But it is also true that, at the very start of making this update, I had a lot of worry thinking that it wasn't going to be enough content to really make an update. And now, it has only proven to be way too much at once for myself.
I remember you saying some time back that you were considering staggering future updates into more frequent, smaller releases and I think for your own sake that's a great idea.
I prefer long waits with big updates because I get to forget what I've done and it feels less like a chore going through things I've already done. But I personally find if I'm creating something it's nice to have frequent checkpoints where I can think "Yeah this is working". I don't want to make assumptions about you but I think that would be a healthier approach for you.
Also, 350 images to 1300? You almost quadrupled the game size. That's an insane undertaking, and hats off to you for putting so much work in but that seems like an easy way to burn yourself out.
The update will come out when it comes out, just look after yourself 👍
Hey there, I don't want to pressure you in any way, but we are on June 10th, and the update is still not out. Honestly, I feel like you've been postponing the release date for literally months, and I truly find it ridiculous to keep saying "Soon!" when it's in fact not soon at all. I recommend that you refrain from announcing anything and avoid raising people's hopes for nothing until the new version is entirely (more or less) done and ready to be released. It will be much more honest towards yourself, your community, and it will improve the relationship you are sharing with us in a much healthier way. Also, by doing so, we'll stop wasting our time coming on this page for nothing and stop pressuring you with these comments like mine :)
As you already know, take your time, don't pressure yourself in any way, take care of yourself, but be more honest. Thank youuuu
ALSO, don't be scared of disappointing us in any way, cuz you've already proven yourself, and people like me who very much enjoy what you've made so far don't care about how long it takes. Cuz we know that it will be good no matter what, so yeah, it's ok if it takes time! (but be honest)
Anyway, hope you are doing great, take care, and can't wait for the update!
At this point, nothing can really be done about it for this latest update, but for Mecha, it probably is worth reflecting on how a miss of nearly a full year (it was originally scheduled for last August!) happened, and why that wasn't foreseen earlier - as I remember, the first delay wasn't announced until the week of the initial target release, and if there was this much work left outstanding, that there was no chance of making that deadline should have been known way earlier, along with there being no way that pushing out two weeks was going to be sufficient to get things working.
Things getting too ambitious as far as cast sizes and story-branching have killed more than a few games in this niche, and it seems like this is a steroidal version of that, with not only a large planned cast with multiple different choice-based paths for each character, but a whole array of different fetishes designed to be mixed and matched. Mecha, this is your game and don't let anyone, including me, tell you how to make it, but there might come a point where you need to make a hard breadth vs. depth choice about how much time and energy you have and what tradeoffs you're willing to make.
I can't go against you here, you're completely correct. The very first delay, I didn't really think much of it when posting the delay on the last day. I've realized that it was very wrong of me to do and I do genuinely apologize and for the other delays as well.
I'm very aware of how ambitious the game is, and this update will only prove that more. After it's finally done, I really do wish to find the most optimal workflow and post updates on a more timely interval.
I appreciate you taking the time to write this in a very kind manner.
Believe it or not, but every single date I've announced was said with a *mostly* confident me behind it, ambitiously thinking I could finish it within that time. I know how crazy that sounds, especially considering it has almost been a year since the first delay (that one being my most ambitious one by far). This is completely my fault, and I don't mean to take any blame away from myself. I have this really bad tendency to always think I can finish something in a very short amount of time when in reality it takes me much longer.
Disappointing those who enjoy my work is one of the reasons why, like you said. But I realize now that ambitiously posting these dates is very counter intuitive since that only makes it worse, if anything, and that's very wrong of me to do.
Again, not to dispose of any blame here, but I'm very much a chronic procrastinator. On top of this I also tend to be a perfectionist, which really does not work well together. So to say this update could have been done way sooner is really just a given. The bigger issue is myself, thinking I can miraculously get myself past these things.
Also, don't worry about pressuring, I've noticed I work a lot better under pressure than without.
Either way, thank you for this comment and for keeping me in check. You're very much correct.
Ik this must be annoying af, but were nearing middle of the month, update still isnt out Have you considered simply releasing what you already have? im sure it must be hard for you but this is getting kinda ridiculous with those estimations that arent met in the end to the point that im worried this update will never release because you cant admit that you simply cant finish it
It's not annoying, you're very much in your right to ask me, especially when it has taken this long, so don't worry.
I've considered doing that though I've also released a roadmap, months ago by now, that has promises listed on there and I wish to release it with those promises finished. It just wouldn't feel right to me to release it prematurely after making said promises, if that makes sense.
Since a couple more comments have been posted about this, I'll keep my general answer to one of them.
thus i think the text is kinda ai generative style i think so because so many time when was using ai chat stuff on different app so far kinda know how ai typing looks like kinda bad if so true but idea of side characters being ai generated is well is bad,because ok that its different from other traditional vn but not like this way thus idea of traveling in 2d map is fun,main characters are great the most sad part is that this is just new the beggining it takes long time till we get to majot stuff and big story. Yes i passed whole story for now
The current version has to install some components to allow it to run, to put it simple.
If you don't trust it, there's a virus total link on the download page that you're free to look at! In the next update this issue will also no longer exist.
Just to resonate with the community I think we are all ready and excited for the update but also don't stress timelines we all enjoy the game and are just excited with the quality and game if it takes longer we don't mind
What is the difference between the Windows x64 and the Windows x64 (non-fixed) versions? The only interpretation I can come up with for "non-fixed" is "bug fixes not applied", but I can't imagine why you'd be offering that for download...
That's a good question, I unfortunately didn't find a truly good name for it. The current public version of the game uses Edge to run itself. The "fixed" version has an embedded version of Edge included so that it doesn't run into any issues related to an outdated version of Edge. The "non-fixed" one doesn't include any version and simply uses the version of Edge that is installed on your system.
The upcoming version won't have this issue, luckily
Ahh, that's why the "fixed" one was so much larger. That makes sense. Until the upcoming version comes out, I'd suggest putting that brief explanaation somewhere on the game page -- ideally, just above the download links, but I don't know how much flexibility Itch gives you for that stuff.
Unfortunately yes. The current public version is limited after the intro. The dialogue itself will also specify when you've reached the end of a story.

Yes, incredibly likely. :)
I'm glad! Will there be an option to change the size of menus and interfaces? I have a pretty large screen and they were really small in the previous version.
oooo, that would be nice having a HUD resizer.
Hey is there a way to get out of the cell in the kindapped chapter?
That is a bug that unfortunately was never fixed. I recommend reloading into a save right before you end up in the cell.
I really enjoy the game bro, will the next update be a full game and if so, is the update automatic?
Thanks, glad you enjoyed! The next update will not be the full game, though it will contain a good amount of content added. It also will not be automatic, you'll have to download it again.
Thanks, I look forward to it!
Hi, I have a question. I've already finished the events for the moment, but I still have things to do and I don't know how to do it. Could you help me?

Yes Mecha sup from Turkey
Will there be an Android release at any point?
Yes, I've managed to make an Android build, I've just got to make everything work properly on there. It's on the list. :)
When will this be finished just found the game and excited to try it out
The plan is to work on finishing it after I'm done with the update.
I'm getting very very close!!
希望可以有中文
The next update will hopefully contain Chinese translation. :)
太棒了，你简直是个天才
所以，什么时候能玩最新版？？？？？？？？？？？？？？？？？？？
When I'm fully done with it, sorry it's taken so long.
I was thoroughly surprised by how good this game was, even in its early state. Keep up the great work.
Thanks, very kind of you! New stuff coming soon! :)
Greatly Enjoyed this, excited to see more soon.
Thanks so much, glad you enjoyed! :)
Hello there! I absolutely love this game, its layout and UI are amazing, and the graphics are stunning! I am not asking for a release date or anything, I just want to ask how you are going? If you are doing well, how the game is going , how Life is going?
Thanks, those things you list will only get better with the next version!
As for your question, I am doing just fine! Appreciate you asking!
im sorry but i have another problem so i saved my game and closed it then when i go to my files to open again i only see the project realism setup file then when i click on that i click next and it asks me do i wanna remove the game from my pc, i dont want to so how do i play and open the real game, pls help
If you look up the name of the game on your search bar, it should pop up for you there.
so idk if u made the game like this but i have no sound i made all of my volume is turned up but i still cant here anything do u have a fix for it?
The current public version has no sound at the moment, sorry!
I know you’re probably tired of be asked this but will the update be finished within this month or will it still need more time?
I've refrained from mentioning any time estimate unfortunately. Though the fact is that I am very close to finishing.
Will the big update be free or cost money?
It'll first be released for early access on my Patreon, after ~3 weeks it will become free.
This will be the best work ever, no doubt. We trust you completely. Your work is completely original and fluent, unlike visual novel-style productions. I have no expectations for the time bcz I know your potential. Everybody waiting this amazing game, best regards...
Thank you, I really appreciate that. I'm pretty certain it won't disappoint!
when is the update?
I've refrained from mentioning time estimates but the fact is that I am getting very close.

Though the next update will use a different framework and I'm pretty certain it will remove all of the current issues while also allowing any Linux distro. :)
Alright! thanks for the info, I'll be sure to check it out when it's released!
Have you considered making the game android compatible?
I plan to finalize the mobile version after the next update releases
Is there an estimated release date for the new update?
Really like the game, the variability, and the animation are great.
I've refrained from mentioning any time estimate for this update but I will say that I'm getting very close to completion.
Still waiting for the update, seems like something intriguing is being added
I think you can definitely call it intriguing!
hehehe
I'm really hyped for this big update hopefully some giantess stuff is what im hoping for but the wait is worth it to be good.
Thanks so much, there will be plenty of Giantess content! Glad you're excited! :)
im more hoping fot the hyper Stuff ^^
Still no update?
I'm unfortunately still working on it, sorry!
no problem just take your time

Yeah, I've planned to take that approach for quite some time now. Still have to figure out the best way to do so, however.
You're very correct as well and I would definitely also like to have frequent checkpoints like that!
Anyway, thanks for the kind words, appreciate it!

Sorry, I'm trying to get the alternate ending, but it's not working. Give me a hint.
The alternate reality should have a tip on how to unlock it. You should have it whenever you play that specific path to it's end. :)
Y a-t-il une date précise pour la publication de la mise à jour ?
Currently no specific date, just as soon as possible really.
damn i just started and already like this fucking shit its amazing how very unique different has every detalization and perspective of interactive vn
Glad you're enjoying it! :)
thus i think the text is kinda ai generative style i think so because so many time when was using ai chat stuff on different app so far kinda know how ai typing looks like kinda bad if so true but idea of side characters being ai generated is well is bad,because ok that its different from other traditional vn but not like this way thus idea of traveling in 2d map is fun,main characters are great the most sad part is that this is just new the beggining it takes long time till we get to majot stuff and big story. Yes i passed whole story for now
question?why it is asked to install such way?
The current version has to install some components to allow it to run, to put it simple.
If you don't trust it, there's a virus total link on the download page that you're free to look at! In the next update this issue will also no longer exist.
when cumflation and ntr in seetings will be available?
The first will be available in the next update, the latter is renamed a little but still not available unfortunately.
seems good 3d honestly i wish 3d novels with vore and infaltion existed
p.s. i know there is blueberry but i am not fan of gientees and blueberry
There is some vore included, very minimally though! :)
dayem i hoped much
Is it possible to play Nylah Aftermath's story in this version of the game?
It should be available, yes, though limited as there's only one alternate reality currently. Let me know if you're having issues.
Is there a new ETA?
This month, as soon as possible!
Really hyped to see this continue, but don't stress yourself, we'll be here regardless of when you post!
Just to resonate with the community I think we are all ready and excited for the update but also don't stress timelines we all enjoy the game and are just excited with the quality and game if it takes longer we don't mind
Thank you both, appreciate it!! :)

One question. When the character no longer has events, is the game over?
Unfortunately yes. The current public version is limited after the intro. The dialogue itself will also specify when you've reached the end of a story.
Here's the end of May :)
It'll be a bit later, sadly.
Cant wait for the new update 0_0
Ah, I know, I can't wait to get it out there!
i just wanna say... HELL YEAAAAAH 🔥🔥🔥
5 days before the end of May :)
Trying, could be later unfortunately.
Can't wait for this to be on Android, any news on when?
Hopefully very soon, the only thing left to do is to make certain parts of the game touch compatible.
Nice, look forward to it
will the new update have more giantess content?
It for sure will, it's one of the main flavors. :)
great I can’t wait to play!!
