I keep saying it every couple of pages, but appreciate that L&P takes their time to develop the plot. And that they are not cowtowing to those wanting a cheap thrill. There are other games for that. I enjoy the slow burn. It keeps the imagination alive. And raises interesting questions like why Ellie knows that Christine has heart-shaped pubes? Are they getting up to mischief in the gym? And why is Ellie so interested in how Aunt Patricia kisses?
Besides, it gives great opportunities for Fan Art. If you really can't wait for Sophia to have an interracial gangbang in the gym, you can quite easily make it yourself. I'm pretty sure someone in the Fan Art thread already has. I'm tempted to create a Truth or Dare scene with Ellie and her friends, just because it fits my head canon.
It looks exactly like some of the people here are envying the dev (sorry Manifold, but that's how it looks).
His patrons get exactly what he promised them. He is being honest about times he is in vocation, about times he isn't rendering and about personal problems he has. He is steady in his "renders per month" ratio, and in his quality of renders, and he is keeping his promise about the slow pace.
If you want him to work faster, you'll have to wait untill he earns 6500$ a month so he can quit his other job and get a NASA level computer, or wait until he earns 8000$ a month so he can devote all his time in the game and maybe hire assistance (these were his goals from the start).
Everybody likes the slow burn, or slow pace as you guys put it. Nobody wants her to jump directly into gangbang mode with three shafts down her throat in a back alley. But don't you guys think there's a difference between a slow burn
ingame, and the fact that in almost two years he has given only 8 updates? He can't use the excuse of doing this part time, because, once again, he could use your money to get some help.
I don't envy him since I couldn't do what he does. I just think however that he has no respect for you patreons by charging you monthly and only gives you updates every 3 to 4 months, when he could use that money to make his
game develop faster, even with a slowly developing
story. Popularity and success brings also a certain responsibility, certain ethics.
I don't care how honest he is in taking your money so shamelessly, that's just a fact. As was noted several times, you do realise that at this rate, the game will take
years and years to finish, if he finishes it at all - who knows he might find a job after his studies, and will be "honest" about leaving the project uncompleted.
By this time after it started, even the Great Big Brother scam was over and done with...
