If you are NOT a paid subscriber, then this is the right approach cause you're not entitled to anything.

RANT FOLLOWING:

If you're a subscriber on the other hand, it's a sad mentality to have, cause it will reflect irl as well. You're the guy that will go to a restaurant, order something, food comes bad ( like burnt or raw etc) and you're just gonna suck it up and accept it. Or the guy that will not ask his boss for a pay raise, when you're getting handed extra work. (Not you specifically, cause I don't know if you're a sub or not, but anyone who's paying for something and they're given excuses after excuses, yet they don't demand to get what they're paying for).

I remember years ago this dev had a sub goal that said he was gonna hire people to work for him if he met that goal. And it was at like $2000. Now he's making triple that, and hasn't hired anyone at all (he has a couple volunteers to help him (without pay of course) but nothing close to what he promised. If he actually hired people he would have demands, time tables, and expectations to be met by them and I can assure you, job would be done.
But people are quick to take other people's money but hate parting with their own. He doesn't realize that he would give a fraction of what he's earning for something that'll bring him more money because more people would sub if updates were more frequent.

He's taking 7-9 months for a 10-20 minute update. If you're a $10 subscriber you're paying 70-90 dollars for a 20 minute game every 7-9 months.
There are devs out there that release larger updates every 1-2 months. At least he should've had the decency to pause memberships on subscribestar when he's taking that long, and not shower his subscribers with different excuses every time.

People should wake up and demand what they're entitled to, and I'm not just talking about a game, but in general
Thats why I stopped my subscription. And the $1 one gives you absolutely nothing but status updates, which is a nice big fat middle finger right in your face since Will has a problem even making a post about his latest excuse.

What do you think the latest excuse is going to be?

Way back when, I can't even remember if I asked in this thread or on Dicord but, I asked Will & strenif about an update. The answer that I got was that one was coming featuring Sydney (my fave) & Camille. I was also told that work had begun on a second title. I expreseed my skepticism about going to another project when the current one wasn't even at the half-way phase. The Moment that I read that a second title was being worked on, I knew that This one was toast. I got the last public version from last year on a hard drive. I guess I'll go to the paysite to get whatever was released as the pay version and cancel Christmas for this one. It's a shame too because it was one of the first two AVNs that I played that got me into VNs in the First place. Oh well, "Everything dies but some do prematurely."

Because most of us are pirates who never paid him so we don't care. There is no righteous indignation. A lot of us know he is one of the better creators.

I clicked on a random link the other day, dude had thousands of patrons, hasn't updated his game since 2023. We've seen people who haven't made a post since early 2024 and still has patrons. No updates, no delays, nothing. Just "working, give me money" and that's it.

...And we will never care. Instead of convincing us to support him showing us he is a reliable guy, he does everything possible to send our interest (money) away. But who really cares...It's his problem to have such a bad reputation

It's not even that bad honestly. I think he just spoiled people too fast. A lot of the others that updated quick usually put out low effort updates. He puts out updates on what he is doing and how things are going reliably well. I think the longest he went without a post to the subscribe star was like 33 days.

Hey guys, Sorry that I don't have better news about the update tonight. I really wanted to release it today, but as per standard operating procedure, I didn't have as much time to work on it as I was anticipating, and what I did work on took longer than I expected it to.

Here's the plan moving forward. If it's not ready by Wednesday this week, than I'm going to call in sick for work on Thursday. It it's not ready by Thursday, I'll call in sick for work on Friday. I'm pretty confident that my spare time, and if needed, two full working days will ensure a release before the end of this week.

Thanks for hanging in there!

I don't think there's a single person surprised by this.

If you go to SS and read Wills posts, you will get that answer, and much more. Just saying.
I just wanna know if it is full time, because working full time while also doing other thigns does cause burn out. If working on the game was his only source of income and it was full time I could be more understanding to people being upset, minimally but still still more.
