You're right, I'm going to search for the games that are completed. I don't support this dev, my opinion doesn't matter to him. I am going to go play something else.
That is what I have started doing as well. Its frustrating to follow games to have the dev abandon them or take way to long putting out updates. I even supported several financially and the dev took mine and others money and stopped working on the games never again unless I really like the game and or its completed.

How to complete Steve corner scene
Once you've done the void rat scene, and have met up with Jessie in the office bathroom after the threesome, set up dinner with Jim: work with him, and after he talks about dinner, go straight home to tell Jason about that, then work with Jim again. If doing that, and working in the warehouse doesn't help, you may need to speak to Jessie at O'Shannons too.

News flash, 95% of the VN's and games on this forum are not COMPLETED . I would suggest you search for the 5% of the games on here that are truly completed.

Let's say you being a supporter would make your opinion more valid than being a leech..... or would you disagree? I communicate with the Dev on Patreon and on discord because I love this game, I support it and I am happy with the progress. Is my opinion more valid than yours?

Assuming you were a dev, would you value the people supporting you monthly/yearly or are people complaining about update times getting the games for free just as valid?

Here's what you do, this entire board has 1000's of game go and play something else until the update is ready. Simple as that.
mate actualy it's not about the games completed or not. In fact, I want them as "not completed" but also "not abandoned"

The thing is most games here getting less updates over time and less content. update times become 1 month, 2 month , 3 month and sometime longer and with very less content.

It's same almost all major games here. Only two three games that are getting regular 2 months update is Anna Exciting Affection and Fashion Business as far as I know.

Here's the thing: as games grow and get more complex over time, they take longer to update. There are more characters to develop, the stories are more complex, and scripting and playtesting take longer. It's not necessarily that the devs are working less. Also, the overwhelming feedback I've received is that larger, less frequent releases are preferred to smaller shorter releases. It's more efficient because a great deal of time and work goes into just preparing for a release. Also, because each release generally requires redownloading and reinstalling the game, the release needs to have a meaningful amount of new content. Lastly, from a story perspective, I also think it's better to have fewer and bigger releases. If I published a new release every 4-8 weeks, the story would be delivered in small, disconnected chunks, which I think would cause it to lose its impact. That being said, I'm aware people are eagerly waiting for new content (and glad for it!), so I do try to work as fast and efficiently as I can given my constraints.

Hey man, I say keep doing what your doing. Don't let impatient people make you rush and ruin your great game. It will happen when it happens for all the impatient people out there and I for one would much rather continue having a sweet game and wait a bit then have a shit game and have it now. All you instant gratification people need to learn some patience.

I don't think any game dev on this site Promised a 2 month update window. I could be wrong though. As far as Anna and FB, I've been following both for quite awhile now and I don't recall them having a fixed in stone release schedule, most VN's that try for fast releases usually end up putting out some nonsense with 1-3 minor scene updates and nothing consequential in my opinion. Not a hard and fast rule but in my general experience.

My personal preference is for a 4 month release schedule with substantial advances in storylines and scenes. That's just me as I follow about 20 different VN's and I don't rush to play an old one until there is some substantial content to make me jump back in. The Office Wife is one of the few VN's where I am curious as hell as to where the story is headed along with seeing new scenes of the adventures of Stacy and company.

Nonsense, we all know you just swan around the Bahamas getting nubile women to give you drinks in coconuts, then knock the update together over a weekend. You can't fool us!

Totally agree. I think a lot of people has taken the character Stacy to their hearts. And by that, they can't get enough of her. Patience pays off for both audience and developer. I understand that some people bounce around like kids on Christmas Eve, and find it hard to wait for the next release. Reading their posts is a bit funny when you know what's going on in the background. But for developers... it's the other way around.

I don't mind waiting until the end of March or April. Stacy is a character worth waiting for.

I totally understand how hard it is to wait for updates. I just look for other games to play in the meantime. What frustrates me is so many people demanding updates from devs of other games I think has made those devs realize that making the game for such ungrateful people is just not worth it especially when most people don't support them financially and just get the game for free and then bitch about how long its taking. I have a very strong dislike for people like that, they are selfish, don't care if what they are doing ultimately leads to the game being stopped and are entitled and spoiled brats.

It's been 4+ months since the last update, it's not about impatience

um yes it is, would I like an update now? Of course I would, am I going to bitch that its taken 4+ months no I am not. If it took a year then I might be concerned that something happened to the dev especially if they stopped communicating but see that would be where my concern would be not selfishness about the game.
