Golden Trump have in mind, part of this comment is not in response to what you said. Some general F95 venting will happen.
" he last time the game appeared on the forum was for v0.3 which was months back and I am pretty sure that during the months after it, the you didn't really gain more support."
Hi. Are you sure about that? There appears to have been an increase of support long after the last leak in January. Sure, it's far from what I need to make for this to be sustainable in the long run, but it's going in the right direction.

There are people here who pledge and help my work, but I am not dependent on this place, I post previews on many sites, and combined with the cross-promotions with other developers, those are my primary sources of supporters.
As I already mentioned before,
https://f95zone.to/threads/agent-horny-v0-3-mr-creep-games.113864/post-9600579 I won't be leaking or releasing my game here. That's not my job.
Here is something I wrote on reddit before.
"
Piracy has a net positive effect only if the leaks happen weeks or even months after release. You would be surprised by the number of people who pledge only after it's apparent the update won't leak soon after its release.
After enough time has passed and everyone who knows about the project and have the funds to support it have pledged than the leaks can bring in new people and support without having a negative effect.
Despite what some users in some forums would actively try to push, early leaks (a few hours/days/weeks after an update is out) are not good for the future sustainability of those games.
"
From a developer's perspective, for the longevity of a project, it's better to spend some time promoting the game in many sites. To not leak your own content (and pray the newest major update always stays exclusive, in this case any content after V0.3), and when the update eventually leaks, guess what? You still get the exposure from the piracy sites. That's the optimal way to do it. And that's what I am doing.
So after establishing that leaks of the newest content have no benefits for me, my game, or my supporters, who do they benefit? Well, only those who will never support my work no matter what, why should I care about their experience? Not to mention some of those have the nerve to tell me how to do my game 
yeah. (not you, other people)
"MC is misogynist!" (No, he is not, at least not for most people, but if you are into weak main characters, this is not the game for you.)
"but but ... where story choices??? I can't live without those." (If your
main pleasure from playing an AVN is having multiple paths, that's not a game for you,
and it never will be.)
"I feel forced to sleep with that character, you monster dev!!!" (Don't know what to say about this one, always found it super weird. It would make sense if there is some very unattractive or bad character personality wise but there aren't any of those in the game in my opinion. Still there is a renpy skip button for that, so when someone writes a review how they felt
forced, I just laugh and row my eyes.)
As a whole... oh buhu... to those folks.
Then a lot of people wonder why more and more devs avoid this place. Which is a shame because there IS some proper feedback, it's why I come back to check, but there are also loud and ungrateful trolls/pirates.
When major update V0.5 is close to releases I will make bigger discounts for V0.4 on itch.io for those on a tighter budget who still want to support my work. Probably $2.99.
