VN Ren'Py A Wife and Mother [v0.220] [Lust & Passion]

I don't think so. We've been saying for two years that "any time now" his support on Patreon is going to drop. As long as he's still producing content, no matter how slow, his support will remain strong. He may not grow, but he'll hold steady like he has been. If ICSTOR can literally do nothing and maintain support, and it took GumDrop almost two years of garbage content to crash their support, L&P will be fine at his current pace.

I also think L&P is hedging his bets.

Many of his long-term supporters have reduced tier (I did) and some have dropped support all together.

He's going to need to refresh his numbers with new supporters - and they have expectations for higher quality renders than we did when AWAM began.

I think his 'remaster the early parts of part 1 in his free time' is how he is addressing this.

If his numbers fall enough, I think he will choose to spend more time upgrading the past than increasing the speed of development for the current PD and next few PDs.

New supporters won't all have the expectations that we have, and he is not willing to build the team he needs to sustain the creation of new content at a meaningfully higher rate of speed.

AWAM production is slowing down, not speeding up. AWAM Newbies are people who don't know his story and are likely to subscribe for a year or two, thinking that their contributions will actually prompt L&P to create AWAM content faster.

They'll learn...

This game is on the path of being abandoned eventually. I don't quite understand why it hasn't happened yet. I also don't understand why patrons would pay for this shit. The game and its storyline is great, no doubt, but no one deserves to be blueballed this long especially when they are paying for it. Dev is acting like James Cameron of the VNs.

 

[LongoMcFap]

how old is the dev? and dudes really gonna work on one game his whole life? lol

how old? how rich is the better question. His new mansion is already paid, now patreons finance his yacht, I think on PD23 it is paid too.

Play Good Wife route, only way she gets any action till now.
Filthy route there is no chance.

If the developer changes the pattern ( slowly building realistic story) and starts producing stupid sex, I will definitely drop his patreon.
I wish he focus on the taboo relations only.

Nobody wants stupid sex but the extremely slow development rate from a Dev earning so much money is not acceptable.

A word of advice, drop the patreon, why waste money? You'll get game updates here anyway.

well... because if people didn't pay l&p it would never exist... (like every creator on this forum)

It is really very difficult for me to understand why Devs like ICSTOR of LEWDLAB have still such a big number of patrons. If some one has a reasonable explanation, please tell me.

For Icstor, He has a track record of producing good 3D art and animation. There was a time that he could be trusted with his information, but as he became more popular, he started to abuse his fame and slacked off. One of the reasons that he continues to have big numbers, although his Patreon has shrunk over the years, is new members that discover his work for the first time and not realizing the current history with him.

I sincerely believe that there is a degree of fraud/shady activity within Patreon. That isn't to say that ICSTOR or any specific dev is knowingly participating in it, but there's just so much money being shelled out for nebulous returns that it makes me suspicious. We see the usual ebb and flow of patrons over the course of a month, but some devs can go many months without a new release and barely lose support; and then regain all of it (and then some) upon the next release. To some extent this can be explained by dedicated patrons who stick it out no matter what, while other patrons just pay close attention and re-up for new releases, but I doubt that explains it all. I think GumDrop games is a good example of what should happen when a dev goes off the rails. After the last "good" update in 2019, support dropped normally, but since then updates have become infrequent and incoherent/terrible. That whole time, even through 2020 when everyone else was seeing growth, GumDrop's support steadily fell. I believe it peaked at ~2,000 patrons in 2019 and is now around 200. To me that makes sense. But we don't see that with ICSTOR or L&P or any other "large" dev. There's always magically a perfect influx of money to replenish any support lost over the course of the month. It's way too convenient.
