Quick Progress Update April 16th
Hey all, Just wanted to let everyone know how the week went. I was hoping if I got a good week that I'd have everything done by today, and while it wasn't a bad week, I did only get about 3 good days to work on the update. I did make a lot of great progress in those 3 days, and I really think about 3 more of those will finish it all off. I'm doing my best to manage my time to make sure AFV gets as much of it as I can afford. I promise you all that I'm giving it my all. Let's all hope for an alpha release this week!

So the longer answer is this.

Yes patreon bans incest. However there are more than a few fans of AFV who just aren't into incest and prefer it without. The Dev has put a fair amount of effort into creating a patreon script that's more than just a name swap from mother to landlady.
It's one of the reasons putting a build together takes so long.

This way, fans of the game who just arn't into that kink can enjoy the game without the dialog seeming strange or out of place in areas.
Okay, wow that sounds labor intensive. I will give the game credit though in that the non-incest version does seem a bit different.

So, I should have made this post yesterday morning, and I've been dreading making it since then. I have decided to retire from game development and there will be no more updates to AFV in the foreseeable future... Just kidding
And now that you all annoyed by my sadistic sense of humor, but hopefully relieved that I'm not retiring but am just an asshole, the real bad news won't be as painful. The AFV update will not be coming out this weekend. It turns out that I'm terrible at estimating how long it takes to finish things, and just to be completely open and honest with you, I should have been able to finish, but just didn't. I don't want to make a bunch of excuses, but you all deserve a little bit of an explanation.
My family and I have been going through a rough time, I know that's not very detailed, but suffice it to say, this rough time has been going on for a long while now, and it's taking a bit of a toll on my mental health. This week I kind of just shut down a bit, and it's not the first time. This update has taken a long time for a lot of reasons that I've explained in previous posts, but I haven't really told you all about this element to it. I think I've just been ashamed to admit that I've let personal stuff affect my production. I know that's not fair to all of you who are supporting the game, but there it is. If anyone feels ripped off by this information, let me know, and I'll be happy to issue refunds, and such. Let me try and make it right for you. The last thing I want is for you all to think I'm just stringing you along, because I would never do that.
All that being said, I'm an eternal optimist. I'm excited for the future, and always believe that things will get better. I'm excited for the future of AFV, and I don't want to give the impression that it's going to be another month or something like that. It's dang near complete. I really think I can get in done in a matter of days, and not weeks.
I really appreciate how positive, kind, and patient you've all been with me. I swear I'm not trying to take advantage of that. I've followed a lot of other game fandoms, and I don't think I've ever come across a group as positive as you all are. I genuinely enjoy interacting with those of you who chat up our groups, and feel like I've made some great friends through this game! I hope you all have a great week, and keep your fingers crossed that I will too!

Firstly, you're entitled to prioritize your personal life first. I've always told teammates on the mmorpg's that I played that RL/GL or real life over game life. You have a lot of fans and followers here that are cheering for you. Try not to let people, family, friends or strangers, get you down. If you value your worth, others will be forced to. If Not, don't deal with them anymore. Life is stressful enough without dealing with someone else's bs who doesn't have their crap together.
Secondly, you seem to be an upstanding person. By that I mean that you keep your fans constantly updated when you can. Just doing that, while working on such a large project like AFV, is enough to earn My respect. Hell, I don't even have the patience to even Attempt rendering on Daz3D, let alone do what you're doing. Hats off to you. For those of us that are empathetic of your situation, we've waited this long so we can wait some more. The end results have been worth it. I prefer to have work well done than rushed with beaucoup flaws that frustrate the hell out of me. Keep ya' head up. There's plenty out here that are cheering for your success, personally as well as creatively.

So you can release the part that you have completed and release a patch with that is left when you finish it, this way both part are happy, or prepare a demo to release with 1 or 2 events in case you are being forced to delay it (because personal life reasons in this case, which is comprensible), then you release the demo or mini update that you have prepared for this case, but keeping people without content delay after delay its not good.

Hell, I don't even have the patience to even Attempt rendering on Daz3D
I thought the same, but takes less time than you think to make a render, then you can deep as much as you want in the complexity of render that will take more time. The annoying part for me was getting resources to replicate the characters (thank god Will explained very well how to replicate them)

Just try it a couple of hours and see what can you get

Don't worry, mate.
You gave us Sidney. You've got eternal credit.
Cheers!

whenever a creator starts making excuses over and over, either the update never comes or the game is abandoned after the update.
i really hope its not the case for this game
I understand the fear. I've seen too many games that I loved get abandoned, or wrapped up in a very anticlimactic way because the developer was ready for something new. But I guarantee you that this isn't the case with AFV. I enjoy game development far too much to abandon it. In fact it's fairly therapeutic for me, and though life's been slowing down the process lately, I wouldn't give it up. I also still love AFV. I'm not ready to wrap it up yet. Even after Jacky is bedded, I've got a lot of things I want to play out in the AFV world before it's conclusion.

Any chance we see a release this weekend?
