Hey everyone,  it's not the end of the week yet, but tomorrow is Christmas and I want to get this post out before that.I've tried hard over the past week to get the 0.4.6.0 update done until today so that you can play it over the holidays. But that won't be possible :( There is just still too much missing (animations & dialogue).  

The biggest problem I have with this update is to limit my goals for it. I wanted to get the story a big step further and also add content for the new characters. But there just isn't enough time to do that properly. So instead of rushing things and pressing it into this update it will require a seperate update for the new characters in the future (I've already taken 2 months for this update, I don't want to expand that to a 3rd). You've already been voting for the next update and I need a change of scenery too.   

So what does that mean for 0.4.6.0? - I will work tomorrow morning until noon to get some more stuff done. After that I will take a break over Christmas and then continue on Monday and then hopefully release the update Monday or Tuesday night depening on how long it takes.   

I hope you can all recover in the coming days, whether you celebrate or not!

Merry Christmas everyone!

That's cool, as far as I've seen you keep consistent work give updates your patrons pretty often so it feels better than most other creators who don't update with their progress. Keep up the good work and Happy Holidays.

Have a happy holiday. Also because i know you well enough to have a good hunch that you will work over Christmas. Please don’t, your family outways the game for the next few days.

Take a break and enjoy Christmas with your family. The game will still be there over Christmas and so will we. You have earned a break as well as everyone else so have a Merry Christmas and relax.

Dude don't overwork yourself we need alive and kicking

have a happy holiday but I am dissapointed, not for the work, but the point that you choose to not expand to a third month, oh well. Have a nice day!!

Just to clarify: I dont mind you take a break, and have a nice holidays everyone deserves to be with their family.And I am gratefull to the dedication and the hard job you make. But I am dissapointed that after the people waited a long time voting this topic, when it is time to work on it, you cut stuff you planed on your papers to fit with the "time" you chose to finish, when everyone knows that things not always work in our favor or work as planned and need more time. I dont aprove the point of : If we cannot do it in two months, we cut content and we let the future to deal with it. I am more of: I will take another month to finish the content I planned and then the future me will deal with the next section.Because for me it is what means to be a professional. I think is fair fo those who waited to this topic finally being chosen. And the others who wait for their topics? it is fair, because those who voted their topic, waited too a long time, is not like we are on differents seas, we are just only in different ships sailing on the same sea. Anyway, you know what's best for you and your game. I respect your choice but I dont see it as a good choice or professional. Best regards and you have my espects for your work. Have a nice holidays and hope your family is healthy!!

хороших праздников здоровья вы молодец!

I understand what you mean. But the problem is that this is almost always the case. At the beginning I make a lot of plans and in the end I have to make cuts so that I can finish an update in time. I also do understand that people waited a long time for their topic to win, that is why I did take 2 months for this instead of 1 (even though if you go by that logic I have to probably take 2 months for every update). I agree that it is unprofessional to tell you about these plans and then admit that I couldn't make them. Would you prefer that I didn't tell you about them and then only tell about what is done? I prefer to be transperant and honest to you guys. For me that means to also admit that some things don't go as planned. I think the core what this update was supposed to be about is in it (Raaisha & Rumah). I just didn't make the stretch goal that I had set up for myself. It's like the Arianna update where I also wanted to add in Verena on top until I realized that this wouldn't be possible in the given time. I also know for a fact that some of you wish that I would finally work on an other story again. So I think it is fair to leave the story about Umah open for a seperate update.

Well first of all, Merry christmas now about the answer: I think you lie to yourself, in your head you try to convice yourself what is right and put some excuses to believe that what you are making, is right. First: Transparency is mandatory if someone want to be professional. And ofc when someone pay you, it SHOULD be mandatory. Second:Admitting that you cannot make it in time is fine, making plans and then realize that is too much in short time is fine too. But evading it saying: "I will fix it next months" is not. Imagine on an hospital, you wait 6-8 months for an intervention that is not vital but can improve your QoL. So when it is the time, the doctor tells you: "Look I couldnt make everything because of some complications and we were short on time , so I will put you on the list, and finish it six months later" I dont think you will think good, you accept it because you have no choice, but probably you will make a reclamation. And ofc you wouldnt think that it is professional. The point is, you know it is unprofessional, you accept it, but you dont want to fix it, because other people encourages you to keep making that. And your brain is saying: "I will keep doing that because I know for a fact that some of you wish that I would finally work on an other story again" and then you feel better with it. And that's not a point of growing as a profesional but a point of stagnation. And no, not telling your plans is not better, is worse and mediocre. As someone that works on the hospital, even if my patients doesn't understand the exact process of their intervention, they like and they have the right to know what we will do to them.Even if just a bunion. Like again its your choice, your game and your right to do what you feel better with it. I like your work, your improvements over the time, specifically on graphics and on programming. But in that point specific that I feel it is very important as professional, on any job, I dont think you are getting any improvements, and like you say: "is almost the case" so it is not sporadic. My best regards to you, hope your family is safe and happy, and yes, I am one on the frontline these holidays. Buh-bye.

Merry Christmas Chyos!

Well, enjoy your Christmas holidays with your family! But maybe it's time to seriously consider hiring additional staff eventually. I very much like your work, Chyos, so please don't misunderstand me. As updates quite often don't achieve the previously set goals, it pretty much might be the right time to admit, that ASWS got very big by now and additional staff is needed or it will continue to be developed very slowly as a one man project, despite your hard work, you definitively put into this lovely game. As the game grows, so do expectations. I guess the game got enough funds to justify hiring someone else, who might assist you in getting the updates done more quickly. It’s up to you after all, but personally I would love to have you still doing all the art work and story, but let someone else do the coding for example or other stuff, which can be done by someone external, without watering down your game. Maybe hiring on a mini-job frame might work for you. There was a fund goal for voice acting previously, which was achieved and then postponed, because it makes no sense to begin this as long the game is about only half finished (it really wouldn’t make sense at this point). So these funds could be used for someone helping you with coding or other stuff, you might need a hand with to get things done more quickly. Please, just take this as a friendly advice. This isn't meant as criticism on you or this great game.

Agree with the point above

Chyos

Mhm.. I'm not splitting up the update. What I planned to do (the story for Rumah & Raaisha) will all be in this update. What I wrote was that I also had ideas about adding something more into this update on top. I told you about these ideas, and now you turn it around into: "This is missing, we waited for that!" To go by your example, it would more be like the doctor sais: "Operation is done, I have thought about some additional treatment, but there is also the next patient in line already, it will have to wait." And yea this is also unfair from the doctor because now you would think that he could have done more. And I get why you're disappointed. The result now is that I feel bad about telling anything about my ideas at all. You have given me a lot to think about... I guess the only other option that I have is to go off my usual scedule. And by that I mean that I split the next month into 2 when it comes to storylines. This way I could add in more for the orcs and then also start with the next story content. For now I continue to work, but I will probably have to think more about this when I go to bed.

Well I will not make an extra large post but seeing what you wrote I think two options: -Or you are too demanding to yourself and then in your head try to make "something" to feel better to keep going. -Or clearly the statements are not enough clear for people like me, to understand what is in your head. For example: It is not the same to say: " I didnt make all I wanted" that " I made all I planned but not all I wanted". Saying "I didnt make all I wanted" can have a lot of interpretations and one of that is my pov. But saying: " I made all I planned but not all I wanted" is more like a roadmap(palnned) + some extra(I wanted). If this is the issue I greatly encourage you to put it like that to be more clear,professional call it what you like, and it is a very profitable solution for future cases that can make your statements more "open to interpretations" If that's not the issue well, it is something more in you. Anyway it is something that like you said " you need to think" and choose the better path of action. Like I said : sharing ideas is not bad, if the interpretation is clear enough to doesn't have second thoughts, not sharing the ideas at all is nad and mediocre. Like always this is not an attack, just trying to help on an important issue that is not sporadic.Have a nice day

More staff would definitely help. Also love your stuff and I can't wait for more green pussy 😜

Decided to share my thoughts, as the game is really interesting. And above all she is interesting with sex scenes, for me in any case. But in the last two updates, very few of them have been added. I want to draw the attention of the developer that first of all this is a sex game and bulding the village is certainly cool, but please do not spray your time and focus on the main thing( content). P.S. The pregnancy mechanics and village building are nice, but there is no content.
