July: there'll be a release, but also, a question...
Added 2020-07-01 06:54:28 +0000 UTCWhat it is, FutaFans:
Let's get right to it, the question on everyone's minds—is the release happening this month??
Yes. Yes it is.
And maybe it's happening this week, even! That's...well, that's up to you.
Y'see, we've written Claudia Part Two...and it's twice as long as Claudia Part One. The entire Claudia path is now longer than Rye, because once again, we accidentally a novel.
But alas, art and animation are lagging behind. No shame on Eik or our animators for this, either...we did try to do the double-speed release this month. And we all learned a valuable lesson about trying to dramatically increase production speed while half the crew has major life upsets due to the global pandemic.
(the lesson was don't, lol)
Get to the point, word-man
Do you want us to divide Claudia into Part 2 and Part 3, so we can release one of them ASAP?
So basically either we can release half in a week and half in two weeks, OR, we could just wait until the whole thing is finished and release it as a glorious lump.
Please vote and tell us what you'd like!
With fondness,
Sacha Witt
and everyone on the FutaDomWorld team.

I take it "wait two weeks" won.

2020-07-05 18:23:32 +0000 UTCIt looks like we're batching the ClauMetria content with the Mallory content; we weren't doing the finale justice by trying to knock it out at the end of this release. There's still ClauMetria content in this one, but it's Demetria content by way of Claudia, rather than the Synthesis ending, if that makes sense.

2020-07-04 15:30:57 +0000 UTCdoes one of those variables happen to be Demetria already?

2020-07-03 20:06:07 +0000 UTCBut also this is a longer-than-usual path
FutaDomWorld
2020-07-03 20:01:36 +0000 UTCFair enough. Even if the path is twice the size in terms of wordcount, that doesn't mean a playthrough of that path will take twice as long—it's a quirk of the VN medium that sometimes you build wide instead of tall There's a bit of that in this one too; a lot of this wordcount is tracking all the different Bad Ends and conditional that can happen when you have *both* of variables X and Y...

2020-07-03 20:01:26 +0000 UTCthat's obviously undercover Claudia, so yes

2020-07-02 02:22:19 +0000 UTC"long as hell" or "accidentally a novel"... I know you guys mean well but previous update suggested otherwise. For example, the rye story arc didn't felt that much longer than other arcs even though you guys boasted it by saying its very long.

2020-07-01 17:52:40 +0000 UTCNothing wrong with waiting a little bit more! Every release you all do is worth some patience! Sidenote: PLEASE tell me we get to worship that metal/punk redhead! lol
O. King
2020-07-01 16:15:48 +0000 UTCSo it is either one half in a week and the other half in two weeks, or everything in two weeks? If it is just one more week, I can wait. I am fine with either way to be honest. Rye was the best path so far, so I'm quite excited.

2020-07-01 10:05:14 +0000 UTCI'm also gonna say I wouldn't mind waiting for it all to be finished. I'm also not high enough tier. I'm just gonna say holding it off gives more chances for proper editing and sorting everything out.

2020-07-01 08:09:14 +0000 UTCI don't get to vote because i'm not a high enough tier patron, which is totally fair and fine with me, but I thought I would add my 2 cents if anyone cares. I have always been a fan of waiting for something to be complete before playing or watching or whatever.
