Progress report:


First of all, I want to apologize for the lack of communication over the past two and a half months.

It was a rough period for me, and as a result, I wasn't able to work as much on the game.

The most I could do was draw, which I find relaxing, unlike everything else that goes into making the game, which can be mentally taxing and therefore sometimes unfeasible after a long day at work. As a result, I now have over 120+ CGs (almost triple what it took for the last update), a chunk of them not implemented, and this is not even including the affection route, which I still need to work on. (This is not me trying to sell the next update as this huge thing).

Then there's the fact that I now have five side characters, each being a favorite for a different group of players, which on one hand makes me glad and I consider it a win, but on the other hand, it means that I have to continue to deliver content for these characters and therefore further divide the workflow.

All in all, the "rough period" is going to end on the 21st of September, after which I will be able to return to my usual work schedule.

For those who kept asking why I didn't say all of this before, my answer is that I think actions speak louder than words.

Even while writing this, I felt like I was just making a bunch of excuses, which is largely what they are. Because at the end of the day, none of this should matter to you; only the results do.


Finally, to answer the only question that matters: what happens now?


As I stated before, I will resume work at the original pace starting September 21st, and Patreon will be paused until I release the next update.


This will help me not stress as much over this.


Cheers.
Awesome! Thanks for the update and love your work

This is great news indeed and we are glad to hear from you.

Kudos on pausing the Patreon during the delay, that goes a long way to show you have integrity unlike a couple of other devs we know starting with "Bo" and ending with "Da".
I've already said this but i'll say it again. We can wait, dont overwork yourself. If you are feeling stressed then feel free to take a break.

Btw the images look amazing, you are an extremely good artist.
You just had to call the devil didn't you? Don't worry, it was Incognito... Trust.

Personally, I take silence over weekly excuses and broken deadlines any day of the week.
i know it's hard to believe in the world we're living in, but i'll let you know that some people are actually still trust-worthy, men of words. It's not that impossible to find, i swear.

He can do whatever he wants, he came out of nowhere, dropped this bomb of a game, v0.02 but 5 hours on avg of playtime he can take as much time as he wants
I'll pretend that you're acting like that because Bo and friends did irreparable damage to your cortex, but still,
the people who had the audacity to complain after this extended disappearance had only one thing to complain about, which seems to be achievable without too much effort, a simple sentence, five words are enough, on the platform of one's choice, to NOTIFY of any absence, will to take a break, to stop, to do something else or what do I know.
Is it to be considered as monsters to ask such a thing in a society of such fragile people?
Zen work is amazing, i was one of his first support, yes he can take as much time as he wants, but there is no need to act like wimps the second a justified criticism is raised.

Pretty sure you were the first (only) one to accuse him of milking the supporters, though.
The way I see it, both your stance and these guys' stance on the matter represent the extremes.
Being too lenient vs being too fast at jumping the gun.

No i am not alone, and you're too new on this thread to see that i was among the first but i'll forgive you.
Asking for 5 words before vanishing is not "jumping the gun" young weakling.

I've been following this thread for a while, it's true you weren't alone in complaining about the lack of communication, but you were the first to question the dev's intentions.

Look man, no offense, but a dev giving you those 5 words you want only serves to satisfy your porn addiction, those words mean nothing for the rest of us and I much prefer coming back to a thread every few weeks to see an update instead of the millionth time a dev says 'real life stuff' just to tease people like yourself.

This of course doesn't apply to devs who promise monthly stuff and then go silent, but Zenkuro said there will be silence and I respect that and enjoy it. Also, I would maybe understand if supporters were annoyed, but this is a pirating website, and you wanting the dev to change their approach for you on a site like this is just...

Young weakling? Oh shiver me timbers. What are you, an edgelord? Do you have an ultra secret hidden power that's unleashed by complaining on a femdom porn game discussion board? Go touch some grass.
