same, I love this game "RockRobin" which is a beta published in 2016... paid for the code twice because I keep download it for different devices. Developer "updated" the game status last year to keep it on the site but they didn't even add anything. The studio might have been closed without any posts. Really depressing.
I love the plot and the scenes we get, but there's definitely something super confusing about which options are available.
Warning: major spoilers?
eg: I tried warning the Jarl about the betrayal, but I couldn't find the option to do so. I stayed neutral and nothing happened. I switched sides and was scolded for making such a terrrible choice. I went back and saw that I now had the option to go forward with the reporting choice. Only THEN was I told that the option wasn't available yet. I also got the option of seducing Ivar. It referenced the harness and I didn't know I still had it on. I want to remove it. Then the game gave me the hint that in order to seduce him, I'll need the cage & harness, and I'll have to fuck up really badly to get those options. Interesting.
My only complaint is that the game only shows the "hint" after I achieve the goal. Ideally, the game would start off with the "seduce" button, and then maybe the hint would tell me why I can't go forward just yet. I'm fine with the side with the Jarl options aren't ready, but why did the option to try, and the text explainnig it wasn't ready not available from the start? Especially after the Butcher tells you to do exactly that.
I think if an option is not complete, the option should still exist and just say "unfinished". Or if an option has requirement to be made available, not having the hint visible until after you meet the requirements doesn't make sense.
Aside from all the confusion, I really do like this project a lot and I have zero complaints of the actual game/story part of it.
A question. Are you going to be publicly updating the game every week, with Patreon getting a week in advance, or are the weekly updates just for Patreon? I ask because it has been 20 days without any news, and the Discord link doesn't work.
The weekly updates are just for Patreon with a roughly 'monthly' public build being released. I'm still in the process of working out the workflow, as I don't want to two versions to diverge too much. Thanks for letting me know about the discord, I'll update it shortly!
Very nice scenes, and very hot plot. only gripes are that some routes are unfinished. I love how wearing items can give extra options, but needing RNG to unlock some extra scenes is a bit annoying. 8/10, cant wait too see more progress <3
Thanks for the insight! Expect updates soon, now golden week is over. <3
Yes I'm actually of a similar opinion that RNG unlocks are a bit of an annoyance, I may try to adapt it so that once unlocked, the area is removed from the RNG pool.

I remember this being so good! Will you update it, by any chance?
Just found this lovely game and was wondering if there was a way to join the discord since the link apparently ran out
I can't seem to get the content warnings to function. Is there a bug or is it something on my end?

Good thus far!
