Hello everyone.

I let some time pass before returning here to simply confirm my thesis that, yes, I have known this game for ten years and it has ALWAYS been like this. Lack of communication and significant updates.

But I have also read about some disappointed people here saying: "I'm going to stop playing" or "switch to another game" - this doesn't matter to the developers. This doesn't even constitute a threat, they don't even read what we put here.

And I can assure everyone. IT WILL TAKE A LONG TIME. Study, read a book, binge-watch a Netflix series, just forget about it for now.

You've posted similar before and I'll say it again: 

I've been here for it all, and you're so wrong about it always being like this. When it first came out we'd have updates every few months which made sense and was perfect, the communication was good as well. But as the years went on, the time between updates got longer and the communication got worse. 

 

I've played a lot of indie visual novels on Itch.io which later get abandoned or the time between updates is around 1 year with hardly any communication from the 1 developer. How does a indie visual novel developer have better communication and more updates than a whole team? I'm sick of this "We'll do better!" from this development team only for them to abandon all communication not even a couple months later. I'm sure a lot of people are sick of it now. It's been 5 months since we've heard anything and I've considered this abandoned once again for a separate company's project. I'm sure in 2026 they'll come back again with "An update is coming" "we'll do better to communicate" and then delay it and then stop communicating like they did last year.

@airpain In other words, what I said above is correct. And your discontent doesn't make any difference. That's why I suggest: go read a book, get a degree, or play another game. The complaints here don't make any difference. At some point it will come. And for the record: We've gone more than 3 years without updates. They're outdoing themselves.

@airpain And I suggest you base your information on DATA and not on personal sources of things you believe. Updates are and have always been slow:

2016:
Version 3.5.3 was released on August 18, 2016
Version 2.0.4 was released on May 26, 2016

2019:
Version xapk 2019.9 was released on September 16, 2019

2021:
Version apk 2022.05 was released on November 22, 2021

Version apk 2022.06 was released on November 25, 2021

We had some fixes and improvements in these intervals, but updates that changed the game dynamics were far apart and took a long time. That's why, based on DATA and not on things I believe, like you, I tell everyone that they take time. Just wait.

@paulo-balestre I like how your "data" is from APK download sites which don't have all the versions on them. There were way more updates than what you've stated. I'll include bug fixes because they're still an update, something we've only had 3 of since the last major update in 2021.

Present - April 18 2025 (544 days)

Wanna talk about data? There ya have it. Now, notice how the time between updates for the first year and half (when it first came out) were relatively quick? There was also communication throughout those years. It wasn't until after the last 2017 update that everything started crashing down.

Us as consumers and even those of us who have loyally sat here through it all havea right to be discontent with the current situation, I don' think we mind the wait, but rather the "We'll communicate bettee" and then they don't. Not to mention that they said that photos were coming soon 5 months ago only to go completely dead silent with no explanation. Just a message saying "Hey guys, a bug came up that we have to fix!" Or "Our company has been contracted to another project!" would be enough for everyone, but no, we don't even get that.
