Awnser for your question and previous poll !
Hey everyone,
I want to thank all of you for your responses , they’ve been far more helpful than I expected! You confirmed things I already knew, added valuable insights, and made me realize some really important points.
Some of you asked or suggested things, so I’d like to answer your main questions and comments.
(And yes, this poll is obviously a bit biased , those who hate LDR don’t really follow the project closely enough to even see the poll!)
I’m really happy to see how much LDR means to you. I’ve always had trouble appreciating my own work, so it’s genuinely heartwarming to know others enjoy it.
Many of you said you’re waiting for the game to evolve before diving in again, that makes total sense! The game will take a huge leap forward with version 4.10, and I truly hope you’ll love what’s coming. I honestly can’t wait.
💬 Let’s talk about what you don’t like
Combat: You didn’t seem to enjoy it ... perfect! Combat has been completely removed.
Empty world: Totally fair. Version 4.10 brings a much richer, more alive play area.
Lack of direction / things to do: Progression needed clearer structure. 4.10 will introduce major systems to fix that and change the experience dramatically.
Story too shy: True ... I was limited by technical constraints, but more story content is coming soon. 4.10 is a good start, and 4.11 will continue the adventure.
Optimization & performance: Since 4.9, things have improved a lot , but 4.10 goes even further in optimisation! AND, FSR, DLSS, and XeSS are now supported (happy Reiny noises). Also, more useful settings and fewer related bugs.
Cloth clipping: It will be addressed in the Modularity Update, which will overhaul several graphical aspects of characters to improve them significantly. Work has already started with my artist, but it won’t arrive immediately.
Large empty distances: 4.10 adds new tools to travel faster, and the new map is smaller but denser. More islands will come later.
⚙️ Development speed and feedback
Most of you think development speed is good (or even fast), I’m curious what you’ll think after 4.10. I’m glad I’m not seen as too slow!
Players who were impressed by earlier versions are even more impressed by the new ones, which is fantastic. I’m happy to see the game evolving in a direction you enjoy.
🔥 What players love most
Most of you are here for the adult content, immersive kinky world, and customization ... and that’s exactly what LDR aims to offer!
You also care about the balance between a real game and an adult experience, which makes me really happy ! that’s something I think about a lot.
Surprisingly, you don’t care much about the art style, and some of you even love the lore and story (seriously?? I haven’t even put that much of it in the game yet! But thank you!).
Many of you said you’re waiting for LDR to improve before playing, honestly, 4.10 is a great time to jump in! I’ll also tease a bit more soon to get you interested.
⭐ Average Ratings
Here are your average ratings from the poll:
Graphic quality: 3.9 / 5
World map: 3.3 / 5 (I’m sure you’ll like it a lot more in 4.10!)
Adult content: 3.7 / 5 (I was actually surprised ! animations will get even better soon!)
Gameplay quality: 3.4 / 5
🧩 Answers to Specific Questions
Kitsune still coming? Yes, absolutely! I’m sad I couldn’t add them earlier ... my fault. The Modularity Update will let me add new species like Kitsune, Elves, and Angels, right after improving Humans.
Quality of life and bugs: A major focus! The past few months of rework and debugging built a solid foundation. I now feel confident delivering better content with fewer bugs (though of course, some will still appear).
NPCs or dolls following you: That was part of my original idea, but it affects performance due to global pathfinding. I’ll try to find a solution ... I already have some interesting ideas.
More complete map: Yes , the old one will be completely replaced. I’m not teasing too much because I want you to feel the surprise of discovery!
Translations: One reason the UI was reworked is to support future translations. That’s coming soon!
If you have more questions, feel free to ask in the comments or on Discord!
Most of you have been incredibly encouraging , your constructive criticism and support are extremely heartwarming
As I said, version 4.10 is going to be huge. I’ve been working 7 days a week, over 10 hours a day, but I don’t feel tired !! just excited for you to experience this big step forward.
I can’t wait for you to discover it.
I let the Poll open for future anwser !! i will continue to read them !!!!

Agree to what Mostof1 said. Also feel free to feel a bit more confident about your work too and always remember that every step, no matter whether they are forward or backwards, a step is always a step forward. Sometimes you need to tear down to improve or otherwise. So be at ease. Just enjoy the process along the way too. Have a good one.
Nice, really appreciate the transparency 🙏
