Hi guys! I some things I wanted to tell you:

1) Scenes Tier is now called Base Tier. So don't get confused, it is just a name change, nothing more.

2) I usually aim for at least two releases per month (minor and major), but so far I have done them at the beginning & at the end of a month. This makes two releases clustered together with a lot of "idle" time where you might get something inbetween or not. I will now release things in the middle of a month and at the end-beginning of the month, making the spread more even and giving me more free time to do some extra work in between those two.

3) Train scene is about 50-60% complete, first (introductory) day (and night) of the story is fully playable, although seeing a mild at best reaction to the Priestess scene I am having doubts if doing a story is worth it. I am working on it, but do tell me if you care or don't care about storytelling scenes, perhaps just a collection of segments in the train would be better for you. Story things do take enormous amount of scripting to make and I would really not like it if I spent all this time doing it and not spending this time doing something else that both me and you would possibly have more fun with.
That said my most comfortable way of doing scenes in vam is "slice of life" stuff, kind of what Priestess, Paranormal Affair, Assistante Fatale, pretty much most of my later scenes are. There isn't a dynamic ongoing story but rather a contextual story setup. I have entered vam as a big fan of sapuzex, Nial and PetaZwega and that kind of stuff I have the most fun making. I think you can tell by those scenes how much fun I had making them. Still I have written some other really spicy stories, much better than what I will have in the Train imo, and if you guys enjoy story scenes then I can definitely continue with that after my crunch with the Train scene :)
So do tell me what do you want of the train scene, because it does get in the way of my other works for sure and I want it to be worth it.

UPD: hey I thought what is the point of asking your opinion if all you had so far is screenshots and short videos? Here is the walkthrough of the first day of the scene:

Don't mind the 36 FPS, my in-helmet recording for some reason can only record in 36.
First day is meant to introduce you to her character and game mechanics: the trivias (completing them unlocks extra interaction), moving around the train (you will be searching for her later), to set everything up. Obviously this isn't 100%, it's just playable. The most noticable thing is poor soundscape, as I usually do sound much later in the making of scenes.
