Alison is one game. And that's where you went wrong from the start. There is no critique to be had to begin with. I am not being aggressive. I'm being honest. Harem and Dom are just different paths within the same game. And it is an update every month or three in the worst-case scenario if I'm working on The Shrink. As for what you would rather play, that's entirely up to you. I suggest you do that instead of "critiquing me" and then getting all worked up when I respond to said critique. A second PC would indeed allow me to work on more than one path which would literally equal an update for all paths 3 times sooner. And seeing as Alison is one game, you get one update every 30 to 90 days at worst case. Take care now.
You are totally missing the point I'm trying to make, I know Alison is one game, but the way the game is going it's like 3 games in 1. I told you that your game is progressing slowly (1 update for 10+months is slow) and all you're doing is dissmissing that and telling me that you give updates every 30-90. I know you do, but when you have 4 different "games" then 1 update every let's say 60 days equals 1 update per 6 months for each "game" and as we see it can be even longer. (nearly 9 months without an update for harem route)

Why should I get worked up? I have nothing to get worked up about, I'm just trying to calmly explain my point, and you keep dismissing it.

Maybe I should say you are getting passive-aggressive instead of only aggressive.
Now imagine if you were actually paying for it. *Phew* it's a good thing you get it all for free. Devs work as fast as the hardware allows them too. Try supporting the games you enjoy, and maybe you will see faster updates
You can play it for free and complain if that's what you choose.
As for what you would rather play, that's entirely up to you. I suggest you do that instead of "critiquing me" and then getting all worked up when I respond to said critique.
If that's not passive-aggressive, I don't know what is.

You also have to take into consideration that it is 1 guy doing all the work not a group of ppl working on it.
There is 1 update ~ month atm.
That's exactly the point I'm trying to make, he has too much work on his hands. And because of that updates are distributed among all of his games (routes in this game) and it seems like they aren't really progressing.

OneManVN I'm not trying to attack you or anything, you're doing a good job. All I wanted to say is that because of the amount of "games" you have they feel like they aren't progressing at all. I like harem route in Alison, but if I only want to play it, not other routes and The Shrink, I have to wait for a long time to get an update, that's all. Anyway wish you the best with your games, hope you can prove me wrong about "not handling it well" :)

One game. 1, just one single game. Three paths. Patrons vote on it, like this. Onegame.png
I'm not being any type of aggressive. I'm trying to tell you that you are grasping at straws. You have no case, and you are trying to make one out of thin air. There is an update every single month for both of my games. Alison and Shrink it's one or the other. Patrons vote, I work on it.

Alison is one game, I'll say it one more time. One game, three paths. They vote on what path I'll work on(For Alison), or even which game and I do just that. Next up we have Shrink, and after that we have Dom. I'm not dismissing anything, it is impossible to dismiss that which does not exist. Ever since my first ever release on 95, I've released 1-3 updates a month, and many people who have actually supported me or at least followed my work closely can tell you that. The only issue here rn is you being unable to deal with a dev who actually responds to nonsense with facts, instead of ignoring it as most do.

So, I say again. My apologies for the lack of content on Harem, but it's not always up to me on what I get to work on. You mentioned having other games that are worth your support over this, I suggested you go and do just that. Now have a nice day and I hope you find something with lots of content that satisfies you.

VAT has apparently always been a thing. But, it wasn't a thing for all other countries. That is until July. Now they are taxing everyone for the smallest things. I think even for discord access or some ridiculous shit. Anyhow, they are being told to do so by big daddy government.
Went through Patreons site and it seems from July 1 of this year yer fucked!
Their based in the US and have to comply to federal tax laws and all ( with only 2 exceptions ) patrons have to pay VAT or GST or whatever it's called in the patrons home country.
If you live in either Belarus or Quebeq and support a countryman you don't have to pay!
EU law and what not!
The downside of globalization.

OneManVN Oh god, I wish you would at least try to see my point. My case is that one of your "games" didn't get an update for over 9 months, yes I KNOW Alison is 1 game but as I said it's created in a way that it's basically 3 games in 1.

"Alison FotA is essentially 3 games in 1 where you will find major differences in both story and characters depending on whether you choose the Love, Dom or Harem route with no render repeated on another path." - it's from the game overview, your own words.

I don't know why do we have such a long discussion about it, that wasn't my plan and I'm sorry if I came out as ungrateful or something, that wasn't my point.

Let's just accept the fact that we won't come to an agreement and finish this discussion. Anyway, wish you the best with your games.

Yeah, I know. The moment I made that public I went from nearly 2K to under 1K it had been a long time since I saw less than 1K a month. Anyhow, I can't really blame people tbh. That is why I'm trying to get my own website going. And if things don't improve by early 2021 I'll just have to get back to work while this becomes your average "Insert reason here" 90-day dev releases. Bills rent and food require payments, they don't care how many patrons you've gained or lost.

Do you actually read what you type? If you go back a few pages you can see when the last update was. Harem may have been 9 months, but it's not the only path... Seriously man, are you trying to troll or do you really not understand me? 0.5.5 was in Feb, 0.5.5 part two was shortly after that, and finally 0.5.6. How exactly has it been 9 months? Harem is not a game, it is a path within the same game. And I get it, it has been 9 months for Harem, but not for the game. Now give it a rest, please, this is becoming ridiculous.

Okay this will be the last post, I promise. I feel like we misunderstood each other at the very begging and that's why this discussion went this way so let's clear out some things.

I know you're an active developer who updates his games regularly. You have 2 games The Shrink and AFotA, but Alison is made the way it can be considered as 3 different games. So in theory you have 4 different games to work on and all I'm getting at is that harem route didn't get an update for 9months and as I said I consider AFotA 3 different games in 1, that's why I said one of your "games" didn't get an update for 9months. Let's be super clear here, I know that AFotA is updated regularly and I'm reffering only to the harem route which I consider as one of your "games". I feel that, because of me calling harem route a "game" we misunderstood each other on the very base level of this discussion and I'm sorry for that.

So the point I was trying to make is that you have too much work on your shoulders and because of that all of your games (I'm reffering to The Shrink and all of AFotA routes) are progressing much slower then when you have for example 2 games with 1 route each and it feels (let's be super clear, I'm only talking about harem route because this is the only route I have played) like the game (again I reffered to harem route as a "game") isn't progressing.

I hope that now you can see my point of view and I'm really sorry for that misunderstanding as that was my fault. Maybe it happend because English is not my primary language and sometimes I have troubles in writing what's on my mind.

We didn't misunderstand each other. I simply chose to ignore the "game bit" But, since you referred to it as a route now within Alison, then yes, we can finally agree on something :) It is a lot of work, but not supporting it doesn't make it faster. I really am trying to build a second PC. I have motherboard- 2TB HDD 256GB SSD 32GB of Ram, CPU and I am missing the rest. So, more support = two PC's = faster updates. Anyhow, take care man, and have a good rest of the weekend.

Allow me to start by saying thank you to UncleVT and especially the resident Skunk Pepe who sent VT to my rescue. I am new to this posting thing and I almost had a meltdown trying to figure it out. Second, I would like to say thank you to all of you for being here, I worked hard for many countless nights on this. If you have any questions about the game please feel free to ask me in this thread. All I can tell those of you who shy away from 0.1's is that I have never started anything in my entire life that I could not, or did not intend to finish. With or without support this is getting done. This game was inspired by this community (F95) And that is why I wanted to personally make sure it was available here and only here first.
Good ass game. But can Alison's hair get changed back to when it was long? That was way hotter. Like if you agree

If you're talking Love route then 3 maybe 4 updates
There's no time scale on a completed tag for the whole thing though
Harem and Dom will keep going long after Love is done
So it's 2 years approx. because 1 update per 10 months. Okayyyyyyyyyyy.

Well this ended exactly where the last one ended so I don't know if I can call it an update or not. In last update it ended when she was going to meet the girl who called and this update also ended the same place so I for one was not able to understand what was the sense of this update anyway?

Which route do you play? This is love route update so if you're not on love route, there's no new content for you.
Read the changelog.
v0.6
Over 400 renders in total. 10 new animations and one additional path to the current love update (0.6) So, choose wisely, or perhaps not choosing at all might be better... Who knows.
100 + renders for the remaster work and 2 new animations for it. 300 + renders for Love 0.6 and 8 animations for it. A lot of changes made to multiple paths in terms of trimming down text and removing unneeded scenes.

I played harem route so maybe there I missed the trick.
