This isn't a problem and should be possible given the amount of money some of these games (even ones that have had no content update in ages) appear to pull in on Patreon. I initailly supported WhiteRaven for this game but the quantity in each update and the progress was/is just shameful. The plot has barely moved since about version 0.3. A few side quests and yes the charcter gets "more slutty" but really very little progress.

I am not just picking on WhiteRaven here very few Patreon games release what I believe to be a reasonable amount of content given the time between updates and the amount of money they are pulling in. Many of these games pull in enough money that the person could be investing all their time in the game. I know they are not but in my book the contract on Patreon is two ways the supporters give you money and you commit to releasing content and updates on a regular basis. Mostly the latter part of this contract is abused.

I don't agree with you, yesterday I reached 1000 hours worked on the game. (I can see that on steam where I bought RPG maker MV) Here's also a shorter list of what I've done from the changelogs above, from version 0.3 to version 0.7
  • 170 CG's in version 0.3 now in the next update 0.8 the game will have around 1300 CG's
  • 32 new sexual scenes from 0.3 to 0.7 + around 6-8 new scenes to 0.8
  • 32 new animations from 0.3 to 0.8 and animations was brought into at version 0.7
No new content, huh? All scenes are a part of the main story. Furthermore patreon is the only reason my game has 32 animations. I got enough money the last couple of months to hire an artist who creates amazing animations for the game and are soon looking to hire another when the game have a bigger budget.

For the money part, lets do some quick maths. Around 2500$ have been used for 3D models in A new dawn say that I've got around 700$ each month been working on it for 8-9 months so 6300$ - 2500$ = 3800$. 3800/1000 = 3,8$ per hour. Then I haven't counted the work hours for modelling and such in daz 3d. which I think is around 1 hour per 5 image. I've made 500 images myself so 100 hours for that which gives us 3800/1100 = 3,45$ which is a very bad hourly salary.

I don't like arguing but your comment tilted my mood slightly. The only reason I took my time to answer it.
Have a good day.

I think there was a vibe of him already being behind schedule before he came here on the eight of november. Since then his patreon updates look to be about merchandise or pooling.

I too am looking forward to more Ariana Grande with larger breasts.
Expect it this week won't promise anything since I'm very bad at estimating workloads you can also see when I work on the game if you join my public discord chat room, see you there! :)

I'm having trouble getting the quest to advance. After I free the girls I get no new content.
No new content after this, I'm also going to change this mission since I'm not happy with the outcome from it. There should be different outcomes in this mission. I've already created the storyline for it but to render images and creating new events and such will take to long, so it won't be in the next update.

I believe this forum attracts a lot of people who actually pay. I even know some creators who share this view because they had this positive experience.
Your game has more than 160k views here, do you honestly believe that no one here decided to support you after finding your game here? I know I did.

I will tell you a small story about me. I used to pirate everything, because I had no money to spare. I barely had enough money for clothes, so even if there was no piracy, I would not buy games/movies/music. Piracy helped me keep my sanity, helped me relax during long study sessions. Fast forward to now - I have a decent job, I make enough money, I can afford "things". I still pirate stuff and probably always will. But now I also support people/studios I like. However, I always try before buying.
I am the only one like this? Highly unlikely.

When I find a game I like, I prefer to make small patches to remove annoying little things like delays and repetitive tasks and I usually post this patch on F95 for others to enjoy as well, if they prefer to do so.
If I didn't have the time/skill to make these patches I would not play most of the games here, yours included. I don't have the patience to grind/do the same thing over and over again.
I am the only one who feels this way? Highly unlikely.

I made a patch for your game as well with an intention to help you get more recognition and views. These two are most important things when it comes to attracting future Patrons if you ask me.
Take that away and what are you left with? Porn games are not featured on Patreon.



You clearly stated that what I and others do here is stealing. Since it goes against your wishes, I will stop doing anything to this game (play included). I will also stop mentioning your game to others as I only talk to .

Hope you find the support you're looking for elsewhere. Fare well.
To bad you decided not to contact me and did this behind my back, if you'd ask for permission to change the game file I would probably let you do that. And for the money part, the game is free...

I'm not asking for your money but what I'm asking for is help, feedback and suggestions to make the best out of the game!

You all ignore the fact that he said: "My game is free so why don't you just wait one month to play it?". He creates something for YOU. Show some respect, didn't you experienced some education from parents?
Some answers here are really without behaving.

And yes, it's like with youtube, there are better platforms to search before "buy".

So to the first sentence, its like a gentleman agreement - a compromise.
Yes, we are all like spoiled from internet ^^
Thank you sir, your ideology is correct. I don't have issues with people sharing my work, I just don't like it when they try to make a living out of stealing content using paylinks and ads for their sites. Which F95 don't uses but I didn't know that before.

Whiteraven does repeatedly state this his games are free, so luckily you don't have to buy anything you don't want to.

She lives with old man. May I change her location or not? And if I can't change house, how can I take Jar with ointment with another way?
Thanks!
Not in this version, in the future the jar with ointment will be available from the half elf half orc lady from the cave.
For the BE path you need to stay at the man who stares at your boobs right now :/

Check out my walkthrough for more information

Anyone could help me figure what variable is Feed the Hens? I messed up and now I'm stuck, having fed them all and still being asked to feed them.
