We gonna wait 6+ month for every update? Because i am gonna be honest with you guys unless he plans to release 5 minute long updates i have no idea how he will be able to maintain the usual 2-4 month release schedule other games do, while also maintaining the level of quality he has shown in the previews. I just don't see it. I predict this update coming out in 2-3 months from now and after that about 8-10 months for the next update, that just wont be worth it, hopefully i am wrong.
The hardest and longest part of a working in a new render engine or software is the learning side of things. You could spend days trying to work something out that will only take minutes to do once you learn it. On top of that, creating most of the assets/materials is done at the start of the game. Once 0.1 is released, the following updates should take much less time as most of the heavy lifting is already done and he can just focus on rendering.

Hey i believe you fully, after all i am not a Dev so you guys know more than me. It obviously does make sense creating new assets and putting out a 0.1 would take more work than later on just adding more stuff on a base game you already built, which is why i am hoping i am wrong with it taking him a long time for 0.2 and other updates, the game visually looks very demanding with high renders and a lot of animations in almost every scene by the looks of it, i think this might be a bit overkill. I'd rather have the City of Broken Dreamders or BaDIK length of updates(which take about 2-4 months to put out) with animations only in sex scenes and maybe 1-2 special occasions outside of it, than have dozens of animated scenes like turning around or scrubbing the toilet or leaning into someone to better hear them, etc... That's all cool but if the expense is it takes a very long time for each update than IMO it's not worth it.
The competition around good games is getting stiff and it's only going to get tougher for many Devs with time as others perfect their art and new Devs come to the scene, this isn't a world where Icstor and Lewdlab are the main guys running the show, with so many games around i have honestly dropped a lot of games here either because i don't have the time to play them all, forgot about them because of lengthy pauses or just found better/more interesting games. There are a couple of games i actually forgot completely the story and character i was playing after i returned to them because of these very reasons.

His support level has dropped a bit from 1800 or so to under 1500. I suppose it's possible some folks' patience is wearing thing. Or the economy is hitting patrons too.

Please stop discouraging the devs and speaking negativity into existence because devs usually come to this site to check what people think about their game wich they put hundreds of hours into. Talk positivity and you'll get a positive response.

if you were a dev trying to make something you like and you see your ''supporters" talking bad about your work or how you work, I bet you wouldn't work on the game when you have some people like that that's about to play your next game.

It's not funny to have a "fanbase" like that, most of you don't pay anything except attention to see the patrons sharing the posts for you, and you keep calling devs scammer even though you're on a pirate site. You get what you put out so please talk some positivity.

I'm not trying to bash any of you, I love this community but you should put yourself in the dev's shoes sometimes. A porn game is still a game, just like music, drawing or anything artistic that some of you might be making, it takes time, effort, frustration, and perseverance to make it happen.

I encourage Psychodelusional to keep going because the work he's been teasing so far is incredible and I want to see his project become alive.

What, we can't critise a dev when he breaks his promises to his fans? where only suposed to write nice things about him and only focus on the good things? F that. Not funny to have a fanbase like that? well he in part created that fanbase by breaking his promises and having poor comunications with them. If he'd improve on those things his fans would't be this way. I'm not a paying costumer so everything i say is automaticcly untrue or false? thats like saying i can't talk about politics because i'm not a politician. Don't have to be a patron to call out bullshit. Dev's love people like you, just focus on the positive,only say nice things, hope for the best, yeah people like that are the reason that there are dev's out there that fork 1 update out once every year while getting 10k a month.
