Alright, took a while, but it's safe to say I won't be posting here any longer. Consider following me here if you want updates on No More Future. Alternatively, the Discord server is always active.

[Sedge @Sedge_Lord]

So... this is happening. I guess this is my cue to close up shop here permanently and move elsewhere. Shouldn't take too long to set up the new account, but deleting all my old posts will be tedious. I'll make a new post once the links are ready.

[Sedge @Sedge_Lord]

@RouzNik Yikes... might follow suit myself.

[Sedge @Sedge_Lord]

Well, that was quick! >_>
We updated the game to version 18.1 to squash some bugs and fix some typos. I also took the opportunity to share an update on my personal life and the future of the Patreon/Ko-Fi. https://t.co/hKsNEhoJgE #visualnovel #nomorefuturevn

[Sedge @Sedge_Lord]

@alarmingly_good Yeah, somehow the icon ended up in the wrong folder at some point and that's what caused this. We'll release a fixed version by the end of the day.

[Sedge @Sedge_Lord]

The new Build of No More Future is finally out, featuring a whole new main story chapter, a new and revamped Chapter Select screen, and more! Find out everything over at https://t.co/3PhoUAq2sk #visualnovel #nomorefuturevn

@DevilizerNine @roverster Stimky, scrunkly creachures... real skrimblo hours...

...Also, water is wet and probably cold, I'm not getting in. >=T

[Sedge @Sedge_Lord]

@UnsafeScapewolf Well, you've certainly made a lot of people happy with this, that's for sure!

I like the idea of the neck fluff continuing down his torso like that. Very creative! Awesome work as always. ^w^

@GarrusVNBadger If it really was "his project", he couldn't have gotten fired from it. He may have been the main writer for TSR, but he was paid a salary and was given a budget to make builds with. It's not uncommon for an employee to be let go when they harm their employers' reputation.

@warfare_germ @kind_and_fair Polar Night was updated last month I believe, what do you mean?

[Sedge @Sedge_Lord]

@Meowstronaut1 For all my playing around with friends on Discord and the likes, I always look forward to any art work my community creates, whether it be SFW or NSFW. Because art is art, and art deserves to be celebrated. We're working with VNs here, not big corporate brands.

[Sedge @Sedge_Lord]

@Meowstronaut1 What GS seems to misunderstand is that there are no "SFW" or "NSFW" writers or readers, just writers and readers. I didn't choose to write a SFW novel because I hate NSFW, I did it because I couldn't fit it into the story in a way I felt happy with. If I could've, I might've.

[Sedge @Sedge_Lord]

@BrickZed @Aluminemsiren George continued... explaining himself on Moontouched's server. Vehemently. Mods stepped in to my knowledge, hopefully that's the end over there.

[Sedge @Sedge_Lord]

@mb_boyo @Aluminemsiren Moontouched's server.

[Sedge @Sedge_Lord]

@TuskmaneBoi @Aluminemsiren But nowhere is it written that just because a novel is LGBTQ+ or sex positive, it *has* to be NSFW. It could just feature characters who lie within that spectrum, or discuss "adult" topics without being literal or explicit.

[Sedge @Sedge_Lord]

@JoshuaTheFox @Meowstronaut1 Like, do you understand how fundamentally anti-creativity your stance is? No artist or VN developer could possibly want to limit themselves in the way you are suggesting. We're all just normal people making cool games in our free time and trying to have fun.

[Sedge @Sedge_Lord]

@JoshuaTheFox @Meowstronaut1 Sure. In that case, we might as well stop artists from drawing Summer, Halloween, or Christmas seasonal art of their VNs, to name a few. Or from posting any ideas they came up with on their own time. And God-forbid someone else entirely commission VN-inspired art from them.

[Sedge @Sedge_Lord]

@JoshuaTheFox @Meowstronaut1 Then how come even when I commissioned art of one of my characters in a sexy bikini last summer (despite my novel *also* being fully SFW), literally NO ONE thought we were pivoting to more sexual content? By your logic, that's what everyone should've and would've assumed.

[Sedge @Sedge_Lord]

@JoshuaTheFox @Meowstronaut1 "SFW" authors are allowed to draw or have their characters drawn in NSFW contexts, and vice versa. It'd be one thing if they stated somewhere that that drawing was in any way indicative of the content of their game, but they very clearly didn't.

[Sedge @Sedge_Lord]

@JoshuaTheFox @Meowstronaut1 If that's misleading, then a hypothetical VN that posts a cute drawing of their characters at the beach enjoying themselves would be misleading if it doesn't have a beach episode. Which I'm sure you realize would be ridiculous.
