Looks like Starke created a post available to the public so all the haters can see it too lol
Hey guys, first let's start with the good news, the good news being, we are way ahead of where I thought we would be by now so we will be able to achieve our goal of releasing the patch on the 5th of June, that is truly amazing for us to be able to do so much in such a short span of time, however this has consequences. The consequences are not in the game, don't worry, however I am worried as they're on Muku.
Muku has been burning the midnight oil to be able to deliver 4 scenes with amazing detail, create the new face of Robert's father and get everything ready for the Officer Chloe crossover. This is visibly taking a huge toll on him and, it's not worth it...
So, after this patch, we will be making a change from our self-imposed 1 month patch times to a month and a half. With that said, the patches will go like 15 of July, 1st of September, 15 of October, 1st of December and so on and so on. That means that some months we won't be getting any more supporters, in fact some will withdraw their support until the next patch since some months there will be no patch even tho it comes out on the first of the next month.
Honestly, we don't care about financial growth goals anymore. Unfortunately we live in a world where quantity is more sought out than quality, no one cares about different stories, rich characters, rich maps, original soundtrack, what people want is a bunch of Hentai scenes from a regular story with very little animation stock characters from RPG Maker and bland mechanics, as long as it leads to Hentai everyone is aboard of the train.
We went from making 5.7k a month and now we're down to almost 4k, all because of so many people trash talking our development. Funny. I understand why, I do, a lot of people have told me after talking trash that the only reason they did was because they held us to different standards, they wanted to see more of our game so much they started feeling mad about it, and abandon their support. Liking something so much to the point you're going to hurt it, that's pretty human, so again, not even mad.
But when you say that we're not dedicated and we don't put in the work? A lot of people that never spent a dime on Patreon or a game whatsoever talks trash about us in forums saying we release patches every 3~4 months, that we're not vocal, that we're milking our patrons, and then some potential Patreons read that and stay away because, on the internet you can make up bullshit and don't present facts to back it up, and still cause a lot of damage. That's the internet for you.
And then those same people go and revere authors that release a Christmas minigame on April and have been working on version 0.8 for 6 months, and those guys are making over 3000$ a month, for releasing a patch with 2~3 scenes in half a year? Makes you think, why are we working so hard? To make an extra 1000$?
No, we're working hard for YOU guys, for those who STILL support us, so regardless if we make 4000$, 3000$, 2000$, hell, if I have to get another job to be able to create games, that's what we'll do, because I love making games for you guys, I love the feedback, the anxiety, seeing how the patch impacts you guys, and how happy you are when you receive it? That's priceless.
I can't thank you enough and I know I've said it a thousand times how much I truly appreciate you guys, those who believe in us and support us with what they can, and they have done for days, months, some of you, over a year... We truly appreciate you all, and I guarantee we ain't going to forget it, we will find a way to reward you for your support and loyalty.
With that being said, this patch is going to be FREAKING AWESOME, and tomorrow I will release the patch notes.
From the team that will never quit, and will keep releasing the game you love until it's finished or some misfortune renders me unable to create games, hopefully the former, thank you.
