I can enjoy teasing just as much as the depiction actual sex and I am a very patient man so I am fine with however long it takes before the sex-scenes arrive as long as the teasing scenes are exiting and interesting and it is clear they have a purpose in the story. For me her own son groping her during that basketball-game for example was more hot and entertaining than all scenes from Dating my Daughter combined. The chase sometimes is better than the hunt.
She already took some risks in the first release if you made the "right" choices and I believe almost every scene was meant to "paint a picture" of the characters or show the beginning of this transformation. She already acted pretty slutty at times in the first version for a stuck-up housewife so I have no doubt this will gradually increase but for me the slow transformation is part of the fun so I hope the dev won't rush it :happyblush
Per your analogy no one is charging anything, I mean you're supporting the grocery store by buying bread to eat they aren't charging anything right. Don't be naive the definition of support is giving help in the form of money, physical labor, emotional support etc. etc. without getting something in return, what's happening on patreon isn't supporting anything it's a transaction pure and simple.
I disagree. All funding platforms work like that and they have nothing to do with buying anything. If you pay 100$ on Kickstarter you will also gain some additional materials and game when it's finished but no one is saying that it has anything with sales. You supporting some idea you like and that's it. Your funds are essential for idea to grow but supporting isn't real transaction. Ofc it has some merits but to put it simple, dev isn't obliged to give you anything. Real transactions are registered and Patreon doesn't work like that. In fact if you treat such a methods of gathering funds as a transaction you're simply paying at least 10 times more for amateurish adult game than for a mainstream AAA title and that's kinda silly
We accept that we are paying 10 times more for amateurish games, which is why some of us are picky about who we support. He is right that they are both transactional. With general games on app stores, we pay for a complete product. With patreon, we pay in advance for monthly updates until the product is complete.
It's understandable. Transaction exists but it's not a payment for anything. Developer can release updates per year and still have monthly payment. He can leave his page without any rewards for patrons. Problem is we don't have any platform where you can buy such games. Support sites like patreon work as a fund gathering places for creators and even tho you can pay every month, everything depends on whether developer wish to give you something for your support. In normal platform where you actually buy something, all these games would be early access paid once per game but for now we don't have other options. I also hope for some changes. Drastic changes
I hope for drastic changes too. As more developers see the gold rush and pile in, we will see other sites and payment systems emerge. I agree, early access paid once is preferable. For now, I will continue supporting these pioneer developers as it also helps lure in other developers with better quality, and eventually reduce the funding burden per game.
Dunno if normal platform will emerge soon enough. Even biggest devs we have like DoD or BB aren't able to create a game with appropriate quality to attract enough people for 1-time payment with such a small team. I think some sort of a Kickstarter platform would be cool. Ofc for me the best way would be to pay for a finished product. That way diamonds like this one wouldn't be influenced by players and could achieve their ambitious plans however they like. Surely next year or two will bring a lot of changes.
Oh forgive me I didn't realize facts could change depending on how you treat them, so if I went outside now and treated my bicycle like a motorbike It'd become a motorbike because I treated it as such?
Needless malice. Differences are practical and mentioned before. Developer can release updates per year and still have monthly payment. He can leave his page without any rewards for patrons. You're not paying for nothing specific - no item nor service, and developer isn't obliged by any way to fullfil your needs. That's support and reason why Kickstarter isn't gaming platform even tho hundreds of milions were paid for gaming developers there.
