With his track record it's hard to support because its clearly a problem with him and not with the games he chooses to make.
I remember when he made a post saying development for Roshutsu would never drop even if he doesn't make any money from patreon because he'd never burn out and would always continue developing it. Such arrogance. Kinda funny and kinda sad. In the end, reality hit him in the balls.

Flashback to all my favourite fanfiction writers saying they will never abandon their stories, followed up by "Last Updated Mar 12, 2009"

The dev has been tweeting a bit in the last few months:

Dev tweets:
"No matter how much I think about Roshutsu, I just can't piece together an actual game together with it. It lacks so many mechanics which leaves me so little to work with."
"I've been circling back to Roshutsu, though I might do it as a top-down game instead. I still have the problem of not being sure what happens or what you do, but I keep trying at it."
He had this thing where he kept emphasizing that he was making a capital-G "Game" and not just a "porn", and so narrowed his concept to being a ENF walking sim. Seemed unwilling to add sex because it would taint the concept and turn it into another mere "porn" game. And while that's his perogative, what this also did was cut out most sexual things that he could use as mechanics in his not!porn game, which contributed to the issues that grinded development to a halt.

The flavour of exhibitionism this game has is the aforementioned "being nude in public and no one knowing" type, which then means that this is a minimalist stealth game. The levels should have been focused and curated towards introducing and layering the mechanics of the game, with the overall point of MC having to get from A to B while avoiding people as much as possible.

And while there is an entire world of stealth game and level design that would've helped with this, the game still remains fundamentally flawed by the creator's artistic constraints:

In stealth games, the player usually has a plethora of skills, gadgets, perks, etc to help them gather info, manipulate the AI, change and use the environment, and for general traversal across the map. By adhering so strictly to the "nude girl walking" concept, he left little room for any of the other cornerstones of stealth gameplay besides hiding or running away.

And of course, in stealth games, it's possible to get caught when stealth fails. Given that this is not a game where you can click on an alerted guard's head with a silenced pistol, he ultimately failed to decide on what would happen when detection happened. Since he didn't want anything remotely non-consensual, this also applied to likely consequences like getting your picture taken. I don't actually remember if we swayed him in the end, but a lot of the logical consequences of failing stealth just weren't part of what he wanted, and so that limited what could happen to artificial, gamey suggestions like "embarrassment bars filling up" and such. There was an attempt to fix this with the introduction of her friend, or a flashers forum, who would urge her onwards and make dares and challenges for her, but I guess that didn't do enough in the end.

Dev tweets:
"I want to make the ending of the game change based on the actions Rika does that night, where it shows a recap of events a la F:NV. The only bad end would really be if she gets arrested. In that vein, I need to come up with events that can happen during Rika's streaking night. I'm open to suggestions!"
"I'm going to open the door to sex in this new version of Roshutsu. Rika would build herself up to perform sexual acts in public if she streaks enough."
I have nearly everything I need to make a prototype of the new Roshutsu. I just need to put it all together now.
I always freeze up when I need to put a level together. This seems to be my recurring weak spot. Even for a simple 2D game, this is where I struggle most on. I don't have any level design process. Whenever I look at the tilesets or models I have, I struggle with piecing together what to do with them.
We'll see if this goes somewhere, but going by some of those tweets, I'm not entirely sure he's properly resolved the core issues his vision has.

I have a weird bug.. The alpha 4.6 I previously had works well, but the alpha 7 loads only a black screen. The only text that appears is the "alpha version 7" and nothing else. But if I launch the alpha 4.6 it still works. Any ideas?

in the brief time i've talked with him, he literally shot down any idea. he had a whole section of the discord set up for feedback and ideas and did not take to any of them.
at the time the exhib meme of wearing boys shorts and trying to pass off as a guy with your tits out was in full swing too.
didn't take to the idea that you could hide behind bushes or objects and talking over the object as thinly veiled protection to try and lie/throw off NPCs when he was desperate for stealth mechanics.

and i applaud the attempt at not just adding sex for the sake of sex but a riskless stealth game is as awful as you'd think it'd be. i tried to get into the blindfold/use sound only to navigate, and i liked stripping and flashing, but the author clearly had been fighting himself over the game and losing since they were so absolutely stubborn and unwilling to compromise anywhere.

It seems to me like they straight up did not know what game they were making in the end.

If you liked Roshutsu, check out . Complete game + it's available in English. If someone makes a game request thread it'll probably be uploaded here in a few days.
What even name would you call that? I'm just getting gibberish when I try to google translate the title.

"Seleka exposing herself with a bare coat to avoid being discovered" - DeepL
"Seleka exposed in a naked coat so as not to be found out" - Google
"Seleka exposing herself in a naked coat so as not to be caught" - Bing

Take your pick. These sorts of games from Japan tend to be titled as sentences.

Glad someone else made Roshutsu so I don't need to anymore. Please purchase it to support the developer!

Even if you couldn't or wouldn't finish the game, I'm still glad you've made an attempt at it because you might have inspired and influenced other developers to make their own 3D sandbox exhibitionist games since Roshutsu is probably the first of its kind.

Right, right. Holy words.
To be honest, Roshutsu is quite a playable game even in the Alpha version.. According to today's standards I would see it at Completed tag.:D

How about Roxanne "aka Roshutsu 2"?
Does it seem to me or model is from the same artist/modeler?
