Maybe it's time to see a psychiatrist :rolleyes:
I'm sure there are plenty of people around the world, who would say the same thing about anybody who frequents this site. Being obsessed about this game is not a problem for me or anybody else. Since last year I am retired and I have a lot of free time.

Obsession with a stupid game is sick to me, you can like it, you can play it for fun, but obsession is sick.

If you think this game is stupid, then why are you even here? Is it just to poke fun at people who are trying to have a serious discussion about something they are interested in?

And come on, are you really saying you don't know why I said I was obsessed with this game? It means I'm really really passionate about it. What's wrong with that? If being passionate about something equates to mental illness, then I guess I'm going to have a lot of company at the Psychiatrist's office.

If you expect me to take any game (especially porn) seriously then you are wrong and I don't make fun of people who are interested in them. Don't attribute it to me. I can seriously talk about various other topics, games are not one of them, it's just entertainment. What am I here for? Maybe because I have a right to it.

I just think that making facetious comments about people being mentally ill is not very mature. It's the kind of thing you expect from adolescent teenagers, who don't know any better. And you know, you don't actually have a right to say that kind of thing on this site, because it breaks one of the fundamental rules. So perhaps it would be best to stop.

You're stats which supposedly show a drop in support for Deep, are misleading. There are approximately 200 patrons who only subscribe when an update is imminent. As soon as they have played an update, they immediately unsubscribe, so they don't have to pay for the months when no content is released. This has been the case for years and is definitely nothing new. There is a core of 1000 patrons who always subscribe no matter what. Before Chapter 2, this core was about 900. So since then core patronage has increased 10%. So I'm afraid you're just seeing what you want to see on this. There is no problem caused by this short game or any other update. The people who love this game don't have a problem with it. Sure, from time to time, some people get angry with something in the game and stop playing. But they represent a tiny minority and are offset by new patrons.

As I tried to explain, I didn't manipulate anybody. My idea for having a short novel about Anna's first time, came up during a discussion on Discord in November. A few of us were talking about the previous short novels, and it was suggested by someone else that we were overdue for another one. A couple of ideas were suggested, and my idea was Anna losing her virginity. Deep got involved and said he thought having a new short novel was a good idea. I'm guessing him an d Awake we're already thinking about it anyway. Shortly after that he announced a poll, that included options suggested during the discussion, of which mine was one. Now I couldn't have manipulated any of the patrons during the poll, even if I had wanted to. Because before the poll was started. I lost my internet connection because of a fire in my apartment building, which kept me offline through most of December. By the the time I got back online, the poll had already been concluded and my suggestion won by 1 vote. So this idea, that I somehow persuaded patrons to push my agenda, is totally false. To be quite honest, when we were talking about it on Discord. I wasn't particularly interested about Deep making another short novel, that was entirely his own impulse. Personally, I prefer the main game. Because the Anna in the main game, is the one I'm really interested in. So if I was really pushing any agenda, it definitely wouldn't be to create more short novels. But I recognise that some patrons are really interested in continuing with them from time to time, so I for one am not going to make a big deal about it. You might not like them at all, and I might be ambivalent about them, but it's not just about what you or I want, but about what everyone else wants. Because the patrons are the people who keep this game going. And making fatuous statements about them all being clueless because they have a different opinion to you, is not only unhelpful but pretty arrogant as well.

As far as my comments on this game are concerned. Everybody who knows about me, knows I am totally obsessed with this game. It's my favourite game, I am a complete fangirl. So yeah, if anyone criticises it in anyway, I am going to respond. Deep will not come onto this site to defend his game, so I do it for him. Not because he's ever asked me to, but because I want to. Because I fucking love it! This game isn't perfect, nobody is claiming that. Sometimes the Devs make mistakes and updates don't live up to expectations, but I know that they both try so hard to make this game as good as they can and nobody is more passionate about trying to get things right, than they are. And that's why I will always be on their side.
Too much blah blah! and too many obsessions!
Your maniacal obsession with changing the story has caused the loss of 200+ paying supporters as in this graph posted yesterday

Dead Andrew = Dead game

I confirm all my words and all posts related to "Anna First Time"; this short novel is totally nonsensical and seems to be written by a different author the proof of this is in all previous releases (except this one)

I suggest you let Deep work freely and continue to be a fan by just watching the result of his great work!

I will ignore all your post from now

CASE CLOSED (FOE ME)

An old nonsense in CH1!
I'd like to know why Andrew is still bald after weeks in a coma...

A scene is missing where Anna takes care of the Andrew appearance in the hospital (and some random male black nurse fucks her :LOL: ... because hair grows fast... and Andrew was a handsome boy with thick hair... I don't understand why he must look like Emily's boyfriend Brian... I remeber the first time i play CH1 I was thinking that Brian was Andrew in the car incident scene:unsure:
Andrew2.jpg

After the car incident with Brian Andrew suddenly shaves his hair like Emily's boyfriend

after this scene Andrew was bald like Brian at the hospital
This was a mystery for me!

From CH1 from unofficial RenPy port release

If you want to believe that, then who am I to stop you? As I've explained, the graph doesn't show what you think it does. And just repeating that it does, doesn't make it so.

You say Dead Andrew= Dead game, as if I'm supporting the removal of Andrew from the game. I've never wanted Andrew to be removed from the game, but there are plenty of other Patrons who hate him so much, they want him to be gone as soon as possible. Which is their opinion and their right to voice. Just like you have the right to voice the opposite opinion. My favoured choice is for Anna to dump Andrew ( eventually). But I still want him in the game. The whole scenario where he got shot and ended up in a coma, was not what I wanted at all ( and wasn't Deeps either for that matter). Unfortunately he made Andrew into such a pathetic character and Anna into such an adored one. That most patrons couldn't stand him anymore, so he changed Andrew's status in the game, to try to appease people. But since this is essentially a game where Anna cheats on her boyfriend, Deep felt Andrew had to stay on, at least in some capacity.

I don't think Deep and Awake are planning to have Anna dump Andrew immediately after their upcoming discussion. I think we may see Anna trying to make a final decision for a week or two, or she'll make the decision but won't tell him until he's recovered more from his operation. And a couple of weeks of game time, is multiple updates and several years away. So technically he'll still be her boyfriend for some time to come yet. I'm basing this on what Deep has said about Andrew in the past and the fact they still plan for Andrew to have a renaissance route, that will see him and Anna get an ending together.

I also think it's a bit insulting to Deep himself to insinuate that I have undue influence over him. The fact is, I have very little influence over him. I don't know him personally, and I don't even know his real name or what nationality he is. We just talk together online, just like a lot of his other patrons do. I've repeated all the content in the game, on many many occasions and thus I have an extensive knowledge of it, and have formed an insight into it, that most other players don't have. And Deep acknowledges that. But that doesn't mean that I can make him do something he doesn't want to do, nor would I ever want to. At the end of the day it's his creation, and it follows the path he wants it to. Even Awake who is his co-developer doesn't have that kind of influence. So you couldn't be further from the truth with that.

:oops:I do not believe nothing! I know how to read ranking graph

You are so sick that you still don't believe the evidence of the facts.... Until the end of February there were more than 1250 supporters... when in March + the release of this dumb short novel they lost more than 200 with each pevious update of the main story the supporters increase... this time they decreased graphs don't lie

do you really want that that I post the ranking of the past Year?

Alright let's look at that graph you keep mentioning. Between February and March there was an increase of 200 patrons. You do see it going up don't you? That was during the period when the Devs were suggesting the short novel was going to be released, and so all those occasional patrons who only subscribe when they think there's going to be new content, did exactly what you'd expect them to do, and we got a temporary surge in patrons. And then when they'd downloaded the content, they immediately stopped subscribing, as they always do. Leading to a precipitous drop in patrons, which if you were trying to push some agenda like you are, could be made to look like they all left for some other reason, if you don't look to closely at the stats. It's not rocket science. This happens every time there is an update of the game. But if you want to carry on believing otherwise, be my guest.

I love your posts and i know you are able to convince others to vote the same as you.. You don't need to know personally Deep... the internet connects people who will never meet...
I like the way you write your posts but if you don't want Andrew to die I suggest you add something in this dumb novel I wrote in this post a good way to make great Anna First Time
the novel can remain the same but is just required a start and a better ending to fit the story with the well know since years, Anna character

I honestly wish I had the power that you claim I do. Because then I could make all the games I like, follow the path I would like them to. But unfortunately I don't possess that power at all. And to be quite honest, influencing the patrons wouldn't have the desired effect anyway, because the patrons can't make Anna the way I want her to be. Only Deep himself can do that. And I have too much respect for his creation to try and manipulate him. Which I don't believe I could anyway. Fortunately, the Devs pretty much want to take the game in the direction that I would like it to go. So even if by some miracle I could, why would I want to?

YOU ARE CLIMBING ON MIRRORS!
More than 200 are gone the same day at the end of march and the release date was 23 march!... obviously they are not the same... as you know users can take monthly account and if you look in the month of the Main updates during the 2022/23 such a large reduction never occurs.. in a SINGLE DAY... do you know how to read the graphs? is there something worrying if 240 supporters decide on the same day not to renew... at the release date this novella is in MARCH 23
this pics is from Patreon page and shows the release date

so don't grab straws and try to learn something.... learn to read the data and don't humiliate yourself...
I really respect you but don't push your luck

The dumb novel was a DISASTER!

I guarantee that when the next update is released it will be back up to approximately 1200. Its been fluctuating between 900 and 1200 for years now. It doesn't have anything to do with this short novel, but simply reflects the personal finances of some of the patrons.

I get that you don't like the short novel and you're definitely not alone in that. I thought it was ok, but definitely not the best of them. Obviously it was always going to be disappointing from the sexual standpoint, because it was her first time, and surprise surprise her first time wasn't a naughty threesome or a gangbang, or didn't involve her having incestuous sex with her grandfather. It was just a normal vanilla experience with an ordinary albeit hot guy, which is what you would expect for the somewhat nerdy and naive country girl that Anna is in this short novel. I think making it anything else would have been ludicrous. And now it's done, we don't need to return to it ( not that the Devs ever will, they've already moved on to the next update of the main game). For better or worse, Anna's First Time is done and dusted, and you just have to accept that.

So... out of mild curiosity decided to check these statistics. And this is yet again the good old case of choosing the perfect values to push own agenda with some graph by cutting out the graph at perfect time frame and also showing the version, which has the min value in hundreds, so the jumps seem more dramatic visually.

1680531458653.png

This is the situation for the past year... and honestly seems pretty stable.

1680531501666.png
Or if we really want to watch this version, where the minimum value starts from 840 , then honestly the trend of patreons cancelling around updates is pretty regular as Zara pointed out.

yes for Main update I can belive
but the fact is 2-3 days after the short novel there was a big loss at the same day The First Time was released because users are waiting for the main release!
There was big disappoint about this short novel!
and I have explained why!

there was any additional patreon generated by this short novel!
NO ONE PAID THE 15 BUCKS REQUIRED... and even the 5 $ are not increasing

all the peaks in your graph are AFTER THE UPDATES release and supporters increased! !
this time there was a LOSS AFTER THE RELEASE

After the new main update there will be a new increasing period.... but JUST AFTER!

Okay, true. Should have double checked it myself. But at least for the 2 last major releases, after the release for highest tier patreon, the number of patreons goes up until it is out for lowest tier patreons and then it falls again. While for the current small update, it barely started going up and just ended up losing some patreons instead. Though, I don't think the loss is significant enough.
