Too much blah blah! and too many obsessions!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.
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.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)
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.
He's actually only been in the coma since the previous Monday night ( 9 days)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... 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

after this scene Andrew was bald like Brian at the hospital
This was a mystery for me!
From CH1 from unofficial RenPy port release
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 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?
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 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 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?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
YOU ARE CLIMBING ON MIRRORS!Alright let's look at that graph you keep mentioning. Between February and March there was an increase of 200 patrons.
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.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.. 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!
yes for Main update I can beliveI 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.
there was any additional patreon generated by this short novel!Or if we really want to watch this version, then honestly the trend is pretty regular, as Zara pointed out.
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.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!
It seems to me that you don't quite get the point or you just pretend you don't. People who voted for the first time anna expected to see more than just a standard vanilla story. Honestly, if I had known that this short novel would be so boring I would have voted for a fantasy or cyberpunk story with anna. And Anna's first time could have been shown as a flashback in the main story, because what we saw in the end in the short novel was not worth the time (this is my subjective opinion)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.
because the very wanted scenes and the story progression is stuck since the 2 major release...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 released for lowest tier patreon and then it falls again.
